A Lesson in Loving Yourself

Did you know that your skin has 5 vital functions? Can you guess what they are? My initial guesses were: protect from the elements, produce too much forehead (and chin???) oil, freckle, get premenstrual acne and react angrily to eyebrow waxes. As 2017 comes to an end and we get ready for a busy 2018 with #DoTheDaniel, I wanted to shed some light on some of our beauty secrets with you all! Throughout the year I’ve tried a lot of different beauty products, from the newest make-up favourites to CBD products (like those from Nay CBD).

A YSL first is coming to town

When I think about YSL Beauty, I always think back to the early days of dating Julio. When he would stay over at the house I was living in at the time, and in the morning he would shower and start his beauty routine. I’ll never forget how excited he was to tell me about touche éclat when I told him that I didn’t know what it was.

We have grown up together and it is one of the many reasons why I love sharing #DoTheDaniel adventures with her. Not to mention that she is the best Holistic Nutritionist I know! So when we sat down to think about what it means to be BFFs, we laughed at the thought of going to get waxed together. Yup. The downstairs kind. Because you’re not truly BFFs until you get your goodies waxed and browse hard wax products together! Continue reading “Health & Nutrition | You’re not truly BFFs until you get waxed together”

Travel & Lifestyle | The #InvatiMen Aveda experience

Like many men in Canada, sometimes I come to realize that I don’t pamper nearly often enough. Maybe it’s my busy schedule or maybe just the fact that I didn’t know where to turn to. You’ll remember that we recently told you about the Invati Men line of products – well, I was lucky enough to be invited for a relaxing Aveda experience with Kristjan Hayden, Creative Director for Aveda, at Civello Salon and I can assure you that it was life changing.
