Canadians have their say in the world of coffee

It should come as no surprise that I am writing about my love for Starbucks Canada – at this point, I should honestly be looking into buying shares in the company based on the amount I drink daily. There is something to be said for a brand that knows me, my drink preferences, and is always looking to innovate the coffee world in Canada. 2017 has started off in an exciting way via the launch of #BlondeEspresso and we were lucky enough to get a one-on-one experience with the delicious new addition to your local Starbucks.  Continue reading “Canadians have their say in the world of coffee”

Contest | The 2016 #DoTheDaniel Holiday Gift Guide & #DTDxmas giveaway

The holidays are an exciting time of year, but like many of you, I am left wondering what gifts are “the right gifts” for those I shop for. Thankfully, along with the DoTheDaniel.com team around the world, we have worked with some amazing and inspiring brands throughout 2016. With brand marketing and the resultant engagement at an all-time high, it was not long before these brands would have wanted more exposure for themselves. Understandably, finding innovative ways to get in touch with the public and tackling the social media algorithm becomes important for businesses, especially the ones who are just starting off. While some resort to improving their social visibility by using wholly managed growth services like Social Runner, others follow the tried and tested method of giveaways!

I have read through every post of these brands and have compiled a list of my personal holiday must-haves that are sure to help make the holidays happier this year. And since there is something to be said for #DoTheDaniel tradition, I am giving one lucky Canadian the chance to win the entire #DTDxmas gift guide worth over $3,750.00!

Travel & Lifestyle | How 44 Charles changed the way I see Toronto

Amid a busy schedule, there has been some amazing changes in my personal life. Not only the addition of Canela (our beautiful Sharpei Mix rescue in the photo above), but we are also getting ready for another amazing trip in just a few weeks. But, when it comes down to it, I also face the same decisions in life that you do. I want to live in a place that suits my lifestyle, schedule, relationship and fact that I am now a dog owner. To be honest, we have been entertaining the idea of moving into a new space in the coming months.

So when I was invited to spend 44 hours at 44 Charles in the iconic neighbourhood of Yorkville, Toronto… I thought this might be the perfect chance to entertain the idea of moving to something similar to a loft 2 story toronto apartment. Not only did I love the experience, but 44 Charles made me see Toronto in an entirely new way. Come and see what my experience showed me and why we may be calling 44 Charles home in early 2016!

There are few brands like Starbucks that offer their customers a tangible experience. There is a culture, a sense of community and a familiarity to be found in the beautiful green mermaid around the world.

This year, amid another round of tear jerking Holiday Commercials and advertising, Starbucks is taking the Holiday Spirit to a whole new level with their It’s a Wonderful Card Ultimate Giveaway. Before the opportunity ends for you to enter at your local Starbucks I wanted to help inspired some Holiday Cheer. Come & see how!
