A Tradition Worth Smiling About

Now that the holiday season is right around the corner, many of you are probably noticing that your favourite stores and coffee shops are switching over their displays and putting out gift ideas to get us all into the holiday spirit. I personally love this time of year as the world around me gets excited for the season ahead and I start to collect and purchase items for those I love. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I am a really good gift giver and usually have something planned that is incredibly thoughtful or that someone in my life mentioned months ago and I made note of. So not only did I want to tell you about an item I buy every year for friends and family, but it is also something that I love collecting for myself too!  Continue reading “A Tradition Worth Smiling About”

Don’t Take Anything For Granted

It’s November 1st and a new month has just begun. With so much newness happiness for us at the blog this year, I love the beginning of a new month because it always give me a boost of energy to be better. Today also marks the beginning of Movember which, as many of you will know, aims to raise awareness and funds to help stop men dying from preventable causes with medical screening and providing them with the resources they need for their mental health. My friends, it’s time I told you about my prostate cancer scare and how this year I want to get back to giving back in partnership with L’Oreal Men Expert via their Barberclub range.

A New Way To Show That You #RememberThem

Growing up in Ottawa in my teens and early twenties, I really came to appreciate Remembrance Day every year. If you have never experienced the pomp and circumstance of November 11th in our Nation’s Capital, I highly recommend you plan a trip to do so at some point in your life. The moment of silence that washes over the city while you stand with Canadians of all walks of life is something quite moving.

The month of November is one of the most beautiful in my opinion because the last of the coloured leaves cling to the trees and the nights get a little colder. We all wait (some of us less willingly than others) as the frost arrives and the snow begins to appear. It reminds me of cuddling with someone special and giving thanks for another incredible year as we inch towards the holidays. It’s also a time when you’ll see most Canadians adorning their iconic red poppies on their fall & winter jacket lapels. It’s something that always instills a sense of patriotism for me personally, and so when I found out about this year’s addition of the digital poppy and how it gives back to the Royal Canadian Legion, I knew that I had to share this with Canadians from coast-to-coast.  Continue reading “A New Way To Show That You #RememberThem”

A Beautiful Change Of Pace

Today I wanted to take a minute to acknowledge all the people that help to make DoTheDaniel.com a success around the world. It’s not just the #DTDteam as we continue to grow and expand, but it is also the friends and family that support us. It’s you the reader, and of course the brands that work with us to make us look and feel our best. At the end of the day, I spend a lot of time in the public eye and I want to always feel my best. That being said, as I’ve gotten older, I have come to realize that the choices I make should be responsible ones. From supporting eco-friendly and socially responsible brands such as Outland Denim (click here to read about them if you haven’t yet) to the salon I frequent to keep my wild head of hair tamed, life is about making the right decisions lately. So it’s why I am excited to announce that we’ve partnered with worldSALON here in Toronto as our salon of choice. And there are quite a few reasons why this change is for the better.  Continue reading “A Beautiful Change Of Pace”
