I like to think I’ve been pretty honest with you all about my daily life. From the events and adventures we bring you along with on Instagram Stories, to the blog posts we passionately write to help bring you brands and experiences we love, running #DoTheDaniel with Catherine has been one of the biggest blessings in my life. But it can of course take its toll on my sleeping habits, not to mention my ability to look and feel my best.
