Food & Wine | Alvear Sherry & The Summer Cocktail

The more that I talk about the summer season and its subsequent cocktails, the more I get excited for the possibilities. I like to think of mixology and bartending in the same way that I do cooking. It’s truly an art and meant to be experimented with alongside beautiful ingredients and an adventurous spirit. The trend of classic cocktails and their resurgence has been a topic that I have spoken to before and I’m sure will mention again throughout the summer. Recently I ventured in the world of Spanish Sherry with Bodegas Alvear Wines and found that this once over looked item can truly make your summer cocktails something to remember. Let me tell you how here! Continue reading “Food & Wine | Alvear Sherry & The Summer Cocktail”

Events | Pride by Design Cabaret & Fashion-Art Auction

With World Pride launching officially today, the city of Toronto is abuzz with the energy and support of the LGBT community on an international scale. I am very lucky to live in a country where I can be a proud gay man who can legally marry Julio and start a family. Pride occurs on a yearly basis in cities around the world, but to be hosting World Pride truly makes it so that all eyes are on us to show what Pride, Love and Equality mean. With major World Pride Toronto events happening now until June 29th, there is so much to do and so much to see. One of the biggest evenings I am most looking forward to is The Pride by Design Cabaret & Fashion-Art Auction taking place on June 25th at Shangri-La Hotel Toronto (one of my favs in the city as most of you will remember from #iheartbosk!). Let me tell you why you should get your tickets today to come join me! Continue reading “Events | Pride by Design Cabaret & Fashion-Art Auction”

Lifestyle | His & Hers Pollogen Body Treatments

For those of you who are unaware, the way that I like to approach DoTheDaniel.com is always in an authentic manner in order to offer you our voices as they interact with the brands and topics we select to feature. Catherine & I are known to offer a vulnerability that some might consider quite raw, but it is in our belief that this same vulnerability is relatable for each and every one of you since it is genuine and true.  Recently, we both had the opportunity to try out the celebrity Pollogen Body Treatment and we are about to tell you in a very intimate his & hers post all about our experience. To avoid confusion, you will find my voice in italics to the right of the screen while Catherine’s will be in bold to the left. Our hope is that in baring all (quite literally) you can come to understand what the lifestyle of Pollogen Body & Face treatments in Canada in all about.

An open letter to the blogger.

This is a post that I have been mulling over for quite some time. Although I am what might be considered a “young” blogger, I believe that I have worked my way to the level that I am with dedication and a passion for what I do. Lately, I have felt as though the term blogger and subsequently “influencer” have been changing. Evolving if you will. However, this change is not entirely for the betterment of this industry.
