How Are You Joining In On McHappy Day?

Many years ago – over twenty tbh – I was a teenager looking for my first job. Living in Orleans, Ontario (a suburb in the east end of Ottawa), I brushed up my first ever resume and walked through the doors of the McDonald’s at the corner of Tenth Line and Innes Road. Following in the footsteps of my Dad who also got his first job at that age in Montreal, I landed my first job with a company that would shape not only my work ethic, but my dedication to charities like RMHC Canada. Today as I celebrate #McHappyDay 2019 I wanted to take a moment to thank McDonald’s Canada for so many ways for us to help them raise money for families that need it most and for continuing to be a driving force in Canada for communities and support.

A Weekend Away Fit For A King or Two

It’s the month of May and I am sitting down to write another chapter in the book I am working on, looking out the window wishing the sunshine would come back. In the city of Toronto, we have had what I can only describe as the most tenacious of winters and it just won’t seem to go away. That being said, with my new schedule and focus on the things I am working towards in my life, I get excited about weekends again.

A Date Day Idea That Might Surprise You

You’ll notice I’ve been on the hunt for date night and date ideas lately that are a little “outside the box.” While going to the movies or grabbing dinner is fun (and very important for that special someone) – it’s equally important to find experiences that you can share with your loved one that allow you to connect in new ways. One of my favourite parts of 2019 has been exploring more art and exhibits around the city. I was lucky enough to be invited to Hamilton thanks to my friends at Milli to see the new exhibit at the Art Gallery of Hamilton entitled Milli: A Celebration of Style and I realized it might be one of the best date day ideas you could have this year.

25 Years of Iconic Performances

Lately I’ve been looking back on the path that has lead to me to where I am today. Over five years Do The Daniel has grown and evolved, hosting some pretty spectacular content with you all. Before my career in the blogging world, I worked in marketing. Prior to that I adamantly wanted to be a talent agent in the music industry. I am the BIGGEST fan of Canadian music (hence why being an official JUNOS blogger was so epic for me!) and still have every CD I ever bought in our spare room of the house. When I was invited to preview the Budweiser Stage 25th anniversary exhibit “It Happened Here” I got really excited to walk down memory lane at one of Canada’s most iconic venues.
