Eco-Friendly Nail Polishes
Get ready for the long weekend!
Our second-last long weekend of the summer is just around the corner! It’s hard to believe how quickly this season has flown by. Whether you’re camping, heading to the beach, barbecuing it up or just planning on relaxing in your backyard this weekend, take care to prepare for the insects.
I’m a notoriously mosquito bite prone person. One of the most important life lessons I’ve learned this summer is that mosquitoes are feisty and that yoga pants are not a good shield. Sitting at my desk and itching away, I know that I can’t be the only one who’s recently been feasted on so I did some research and thought I’d share my findings! Here are some ways to prevent the bite and if you still end up getting some, here are some anti-itch ideas.
Well.ca also has insect repellents and anti-itch products so be prepared if you have plans to spend some time outside!
Think Global: Eat Local (And Seasonal)
What could be more satisfying than the crunch of a cool, juicy slice of cucumber on a summer day? At first, I couldn’t think of anything. But what if you could be certain that the cucumber had traveled less than 20 kilometres from the field to your mouth? What if you could be confident that [...]
Do you get your 8 glasses a day?
With hundreds of different coffees, juices, flavoured waters and energy drinks out there, how often do we drink plain water? Water seems pretty boring when you compare it to the bells and whistles that all the other drinks have to offer.
While it can be easy to understand why it’s important to drink [...]
Are we there yet?
Summer has been in full swing for a couple of weeks now. With most schools done for the year, summer vacation planning is on the mind. Typically travel and vacation go hand in hand since it’s usually about getting far away from our “normal” lives for a while – whether it’s driving, flying [...]
Made in Canada: Part 3
In the spirit of celebrating Canada’s birthday this July, we’ve decided to put together another edition of “Made in Canada”! It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the different products available on the market today. For me, once I’ve found a product that works, I tend to stop trying new brands or products. [...]

Healthy treats to beat the heat!
One of my favourite things about summer is enjoying a tasty frozen treat to beat the heat. But when you’re trying to eat better it can be tough. It sure isn’t easy to find healthy options at the supermarket, especially without shelling out a pretty penny. These summer treats are fun, refreshing, and best of [...]
