Thanksgiving Made Easy [Wellness Wednesday]

Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday – all the family, friends and food with a fraction of the stress other holidays can bring. This year Well.ca can help you to eliminate even more of the stress associated with hosting or attending a Thanksgiving event by having supplies and extras delivered straight to your door (or even the door of your host!)

Heat Warning – Staying Cool in High Temperatures

Heat warnings are being issued across the country this weekend. Plans to celebrate Canada Day, Pride, and the Euro Cup Final (or all three!) should include strategies to stay safe in the predicted heat and humidity. Fortunately, this summer has brought some super awesome products to Well.ca that make chilling out a breeze.

 

Cool Treats: The fan favourite Cuisinart Frozen Yogurt-Ice Cream & Sorbet Maker is easily one of the coolest products we carry: it makes delicious frozen treats in minutes! Takeya has also come out with excellent summer beverage products, including a jug that turns tea into iced tea in minutes, and the Flash Chill Lemonade Maker - both of which can even be stored on their side when full to save space! Even the old-fashioned ice pack has gotten an update from Kids Konserve! The U-Konserve Ice Pak comes with a cover to keep sweat from making your cooled goodies soggy!

Shady Days: After a long winter the sun feels good on our skin, but it is important to remember that covering up is one of the best ways to stay safe. Keeping baby safe is priority number one for sun-wise moms and dads, which means a LittleLife Carrier Sun Shade for their carriers and Adventure Baby Banz Sunglasses for their cute little faces. i Play Ultimate Reversible Bucket Sun Protection Hats are another adorable way to keep little ones protected.

Prevention: Of course the key to staying sun safe is prevention. Keeping hydrated by carrying along a waterbottle or two is a great way to beat the heat and save money. Slathering on high SPF lotion like Green Beaver Fragrance Free Sunscreen is always recommended. And if the mercury gets too high, then staying inside and opening up the arts and crafts drawer is always a good option!

Victoria Day Long Weekend!

The Victoria Day long weekend (also known as May 2-4) marks the “official unofficial” beginning of the cottage season. Whether you are headed out into cottage country or just firing up the barbecue in the backyard, one thing is certain: winter is over and we are ready for the sun! Rain or shine, this year Well.ca has a ton of ways to make it the most memorable long weekend yet:

Even if the weather doesn’t cooperate this weekend, there are still plenty of options to keep your family and friends entertained. Well.ca has a huge selection of board games, everything to classics like Jenga or SKIP-BO, or games to keep even the most advanced enthusiast engaged, like Settlers of Catan or Carcasonne. If board games aren’t your thing, our extensive DVD and BluRay library has got you covered. From the latest smash hits, Puss in Boots and Moneyball are two of our faves, to super-specific (and super-relevant!) titles like Berenstain Bears: Going To The Cottage, these titles will make the rainy weather “bear”-able!

We’ve got our fingers crossed for sunshine too! That means it is time to start thinking about sunscreen again – don’t wait until your first burn of the year to stay sun safe. We have a bunch of sun care products for almost every situation. If you’ve got kids who’ll be in the sun and the water, water resistant sunscreens such as Badger SPF 30+ Sunscreen are  great ways to keep their skin cool. High SPF sunscreens like La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Cream, which is SPF 60, provide a high level of protection. If you do catch too much sun, help your skin recover with products like SBT Seabuckthorn Sunburned Skin Soothing Salve, and moisturizers like Jason Aloe Vera Moisturizing Gel.

 

You can now follow Well.ca on Pinterest too! Yvonne has collected a pinboard of must haves for the cottage season, check us out and don’t forget to pin your own favourites! In any case, whatever the weather this long weekend, we are sure that it is going to kick off one of the best summers ever! If you’ve got a fun tradition for the Victoria Day long weekend, we’d love to hear about it in the comments. Stay safe, have a great time, and don’t forget the bug spray!
