Horn of Africa needs our help!

I am honoured to be a part of the Red Cross Twitter team and this post is to bring to life some awareness in my social circle. Every bit of help is needed. But I'm also sadden by the reports in the news of the recent tragedies in Africa with the drought. Most of you may not be aware until recently but Africa is suffering with it most devastating drought. The figure that is most shocking to me is that over 30,000 of the deaths are children under 5 years old. It is only until recent coverage by major new organizations such as CNN that it has brought more awareness but time is of the essence. I hope that you can donate via these links below:

Government of Canada will match all donations until September 16, 2011.

Donate via mobile by texting "AFRICA" to 30333 to donate $5

Some of you reading this may not be able to afford to give a donation but it doesn't stop there. You can help by spreading the word to your friends and family. Technology and social networks allow us to spread the word of the drought in Africa real quickly to everyone. The more news that is spread the better awareness for everyone that might enable other countries to take action. So please do something positive today because everything helps at this point.

Taking it to the edge literally...

You have to live life on the edge, right? Well today I get to enjoy the new attraction at the CN Tower called EdgeWalk and actually walk the talk. EdgeWalk is the newest attraction to takeover Toronto. It's an ultimate thrill seeking activity and not for the faint of heart for those scared of heights. I'm excited to experience this unique adventure because it pushes your limits. Sometimes we need to get "Out of the Box" and try something different to widen your horizons (figuratively speaking). Anyways if you are in Toronto at 7pm it's me waving down saying hello! I've experienced a helicopter ride and have also been on the "Insanity" ride at the Stratoshphere in Las Vegas. So I do feel acclimated to the conditions. At least I think so when typing this post.




I will try my best to document the whole experience especially through Twitter but it seems they have strict restrictions and safety conditions. I will update this post with my experience when I get a chance. So how does that saying go? "Take it one step at a time.." :-)

Justin Timberlake is always funny.

I thought this was just a funny video. I'm a fan of Justin Timberlake so I thought I would share this. Capital One and Justin Timberlake have teamed up to celebrate college sports and announce the Capital One Cup. Check it out.

Thank You for following!

100,000 tweets and keep on clicking..

I've been on Twitter for more than 2 years and originally used the tool because I was curious and also afraid I would lose my job at a communications company due to the economy at the time. I thought Twitter would be the best means to facilitate networking and job opportunities in my field. Fortunately I'm happy to be employed and have found that Twitter has become more than just a tool. It has become a Swiss Army tool for me. It has done more than I can imagine. From a free trip to San Francisco to the use of a free car and numerous events/gifts and most importantly being able to interact, communicate and engage with you. To you reading this post and following my tweets I "Thank You" sincerely.

For those that know me or have met me in person, I try to set an example of being someone that is a positive member to the community especially online. We all have our faults but trying to overcome them is the challenge. Having you all follow my "day to day" adventures is an outlet to share and learn from our experiences both bad and good. It cultivates conversation and instigates dialogue and just being social. I've learned a lot from many of you that I follow on Twitter. I am thankful for that.

To those that I have met IRL (In real life) at events and tweetups this is the true benefit of Twitter. The friendships and relationships I have gained are truly rewarding. To those that I have not met yet, I continue to enjoy the tweets and our exchanges online. Twitter is a tool that allows for freedom of expression. I respect everyone even if I agree or disagree with tweet(s). I continue to learn and evolve with all of you! It has truly been an experience and I look forward to more tweets! Maybe 100,000 more :-)

The Body Shop for Men. Father's Day gift Ideas

Disclosure: I have been given the opportunity to try out some Body Shop product for Men.

At first thought, I did not know that Body Shop had Men's products for sale in store. I always thought of Body Shop as the great smelling store your mother or girlfriend would spend hours in shopping. The last time I went into a Body Shop was probably to buy their popular gift baskets for those last minute birthdays or celebrations.

It is great timing to try the Men's Body Shop line because I'm in the midst of trying different products but at a reasonable and affordable price. I'm the type of guy that will use Edge shaving cream for $2.99 or to the other extreme in price value of Kiehl's or Anthony for Men for about $20.00 a product.


The products I'm testing are Maca Root Deodorant, Maca Root Eye Serum and Maca Root Shave Cream. Maca Root from my understanding is like a creatine that helps boost skin vitality and firmness. More details on Maca Root can be found at Thebodyshop.ca

I like the deodorant because it's actually smells good and is very similar to the Old Spice products. If you want a unique smell from all the other guys you might want to try the Maca Root Deodorant. Be different right? The cost of the Maca deodorant is $6.00



I'm still using the eye serum while writing this post. It suppose to help tired eyes which I definitely have over this past week with so many events and late night parties. I like this product because I never knew this type of product existed for men. I don't know to many men that use it either but i'm using it now. I can use all the help I need. It's an antioxidant and I'm sure this product will get rid of my bags under my eyes(in progress). If you seem at events, let me know if I got bags under my eyes. I hope Maca Root eye serum will help me. :-)


This is Edge Gillette shaving cream. Messy and foamy if you like that type of shaving cream.


This is Maca Root shaving cream. Not messy and not foamy. Better lather on the skin. IMHO.

My favourite item is probably the shaving cream. I'm not a fan of the whippy and messy shaving cream that are available at the cheaper price points. Waking up in the morning and having to shave should be a quick clean and simple process. I like how it lathers with just a small amount in hand. It does not get all messy and it truly makes for a better shave with razor. It coats your skin with a thin layer so you can see which areas you need to hit unlike foamy shaving creams. The Maca Root shaving cream is very similar to "Anthony for Men" but at half the price. I would recommend using this product for sure. Best value for $10.00 a bottle.

As Father's Day approaches and you need that last minute gift hopefully this gives you some ideas. It's a gift that will definitely be used for awhile. To purchase and get more info on the products check out TheBodyShop.ca
