...The Era of happy, glowing, ambitious, and energized people, that is.
We know that happiness stems from within. A nourished body makes space for an energized and creative mind.
Leave the nourishment to us so that you can focus on you. The Happy Era strives to give you more time to do your thing, except with even more energy and ambition.
Domenique is obsessed with healthy food finds. Her favourite pastime is taking long romantic walks around new grocery stores.
But seriously, Dom is an entrepreneur who believes that having a nourished body keeps us happy and unlocks our potential in all facets of life. She's a foodie at heart and loves a good challenge (especially in the kitchen or at the gym!) She is passionate about making healthy foods more accessible and sustainable, so much that she studied Food Engineering at the University of Guelph. Domenique is always ready to share coffee and a laugh, and you can always reach her at dom@thehappyera.com.
In my third year of engineering, my prof gave us a project: “develop something innovative and sustainable.”
I can’t build things, I can’t wire a circuit, and I just don’t like working on robots. But I do like “building” new things in the kitchen. It was that weird hobby I had as a kid, and I finally had the chance to put it to use.
As a student, I was struggling to stay full on campus all day. I was constantly snacking, feeling up and down, and couldn’t curb my sweet tooth. I tried switching out my waffles and breakfast cookies for protein bars, but they tasted like chalk and started to irritate my stomach.
I used whole foods with a focus on healthy fats, fibre and protein to provide lasting energy. I made it my mission to make my waffles the textbook definition of the opposite of chalk. Whatever that means.
My classmates loved the waffles & my prof encouraged me to turn it into a business. I never looked back! CYA NEVER CALCULUS!
No matter who you are or what you do, we're here to empower you.
Yours truly,
Domenique
