How Are You Joining In On McHappy Day?

Many years ago – over twenty tbh – I was a teenager looking for my first job. Living in Orleans, Ontario (a suburb in the east end of Ottawa), I brushed up my first ever resume and walked through the doors of the McDonald’s at the corner of Tenth Line and Innes Road. Following in the footsteps of my Dad who also got his first job at that age in Montreal, I landed my first job with a company that would shape not only my work ethic, but my dedication to charities like RMHC Canada. Today as I celebrate #McHappyDay 2019 I wanted to take a moment to thank McDonald’s Canada for so many ways for us to help them raise money for families that need it most and for continuing to be a driving force in Canada for communities and support.

One of my favourite parts of 2019 has been exploring more art and exhibits around the city. I was lucky enough to be invited to Hamilton thanks to my friends at Milli to see the new exhibit at the Art Gallery of Hamilton entitled Milli: A Celebration of Style and I realized it might be one of the best date day ideas you could have this year.

That’s S’More Like It

There is nothing shocking about my love for Starbucks Canada. But do you know that I actually used to work for the company? It’s true!

When I was living in Ottawa, it was one of my favourite jobs – though the coffee perks did help a lot during those long nights staying up writing papers ?. Flash forward a decade(ish) later and here I am sharing exciting news about another Starbucks Canada beverage with you in a whole new way. Though I’m not making it for you, I am excited to tell you what it’s all about!
