Food & Wine | How Nespresso has helped to make me a morning person

By now you’ll know that Nespresso has become an integral part of my daily life – but for 32 years I have to admit I have never been a morning person. Some people are and some people aren’t, but I can say with certainty that I wasn’t for my entire life. I worked better at night, I needed several alarms strategically placed around the room (somehow, in my sleep I would be a ninja and turn them off…) and I was just a grumpy man for the first few hours of my day. With the addition of a new Nespresso Prodigio and an easy to use app, I now have coffee waiting for me every morning and shockingly… I’ve become a morning person thanks to Nespresso. I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks! Continue reading “Food & Wine | How Nespresso has helped to make me a morning person”

Travel & Lifestyle | Inspiration starts at home & CIL has launched a whole new way to be inspired!

As I’ve gotten older I have come to realize a lot of things about myself and my life. It’s not so much the “things” I have, but rather the memories and experiences I share with Julio and those I love that are important. Finding inspiration can be difficult and I think the best place to start is at home. While having someone like Thomas Buckborough & Associates (https://www.tbadesigns.com/concord-design-build/) come in and remodel one, or multiple, rooms in the house can be such an exciting process, it’s not always possible to be able to set aside the time to make it happen. Therefore, I find that making simple changes to the space I spend so much time both professionally and personally can have a huge effect on my motivation, and ultimately my outlook on life. It’s why when I was invited by the team at CIL Canada to meet renown celebrity designer Yanic Simard to talk about the newly launched colour centres at Home Depot locations across the country, I knew that it was an opportunity I simply couldn’t miss! On top of that, I had some Home Depot coupons to use (if you’re interested, you can learn more here). What could be better?

Food & Wine | #avolovers rejoice! We are summer ready with three of our favourite avocado recipes!

There is something so contagious about the summer months and the energy that they bring into my life. I find that I want to be outside more, I want to cook more, and I am all around just a happier person. Food is such an important part of that happiness in my life, and thanks to my friends at Avocados from Mexico, I am sharing three summer recipes that will have the whole family smiling. Because when I think about fresh food, especially as an honorary Latino now that I’m married, nothing comes to mind more than avocados!  Continue reading “Food & Wine | #avolovers rejoice!
