ON SCENE: DesignHerCo and Breakfast Television

Posted on November 21, 2012 by Elaine

My friend Dara of Dara Dot Designs and DesignHerCo had the amazing opportunity to be featured on Breakfast Television which is the only morning show I will watch. When she asked me if I would like to be a part of it I jumped at the chance!

Breakfast Television is the probably the most watch morning show by Torontonians and their families. I say this because it’s not only shown in Toronto (since it’s local) but when my husband was in Trinidad and Tobago they showed it there too since so many people there had friends and relatives in Toronto!

And because it’s a morning show, you know what that means – early call time. Super early. 5:45 am. But I was so excited and nervous about meeting Jenn Valentyne and worried about not waking up on time I couldn’t sleep the whole night and finally got myself out of bed at 3am.
The day ran so smoothly, and Dara did an AMAZING job! I know she was nervous before but she was a total pro on camera!

I’m so, so happy for Dara and all that she has accomplished! She’ll be at this year’s One of a Kind show showcasing Dara Dot Designs but be sure to check out the DesignHerCo studio, perfect for kids and adults looking to get crafty!

  • ✨ REST IS PRODUCTIVE ✨ @adam__malek got me this sticker for Christmas, and I genuinely cried when I saw it. I need the reminder. The idea that productivity = self-worth is so damaging, and one that is often marketed heavily in the new year. I struggle with the “I haven’t been busy enough to deserve a rest - guess I’ll just take on too many projects and then revenge procrastinate because of burnout and get no sleep, then scramble and feel like I need to do even more!” cycle. I feel compelled to list everything I’ve done on the weekend
  • Sometimes I wear makeup (most days it’s only on the part of my face that isn’t covered by my mask though) Wearing assorted things, including: #QuoBeauty Love is Love palette* @shoppersdrugmart @lorealparis Frame & Set Brow Stylist in Medium Brown @cheekbonebeauty Sustain complexion pencils* @watierofficial Love My Lips Caring Lip Oil in Rosehip* @cbvisage lip liner in Rescue Me *Products kindly gifted —————————————————————————— #mytbrfave #torontobeautyreviews #tbrcontributors #torontopr #watier #shoppersdrugmart #drugstoremakeup #crueltyfreemakeup #affordablemakeup #cleanmakeup #easymakeup #muotd #makeupdaily #colourfulmakeup #madeincanada
  • Happy NYE, folks! For those who had a great 2022, cheers a fab end to a fab year. To those for whom 2022 was not so great - toast to a new beginning!

  • This is a long video, and a change from our typical content, but it’s something I really wanted to hear your thoughts on. Did this sports team miss an opportunity? Was my student’s question too tough or unrealistic? We still had lots of fun at the pep rally, but the rewording of this question really bugged me. Is “follow your dreams” a satisfying answer in this case? —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #womeninsports #feminist #sexism #aagpbl #domore #mlb #sexisminsport #likeagirl #femaleathlete #foodforthought #bluejays #tbjwintertour #torontobluejays
