Throughout your day of sweating in the sun (or playing in the shade), it’s important to remember, whether you feel thirsty or not, to stay hydrated. Dehydration can lead to a number of serious health problems, which can easily be avoided by carrying your reusable bottle with you and continuing to sip and refill all day long. We all know water is a great hydrator, and we should drink plenty of it, but there are some other deliciously refreshing beverages that we also love to enjoy all summer long!
Cheers! ->

Do you dream about sleeping under the stars and deep breaths of fresh air? Spending a night outdoors shouldn’t be a lofty goal, but a priority. No phones, no social media, no light pollution, and less air pollution. We’ve all heard of Slow Food, but we should also start embracing more Slow Living (nb: I’m convincing myself as I write this).
Whether in the wilderness, a campground, in your own backyard or napping on the edge of a dock, disconnecting from your city routine and enjoying what’s actually in front of you, over what’s virtually in front of you is a gift. The “eco-fication” of your outdoor vacation doesn’t need to be complicated. And it doesn’t need to be expensive.

One square inch of your skin has about 650 sweat glands that need to be free and clear to get on with their important jobs. Most antiperspirants work by blocking, clogging and closing your pores with powerful astringents so they can’t release sweat. But you want to sweat (you NEED to sweat) – it’s the body’s natural cooling process, and aids in detoxification by letting the toxins out.

The rules are changing for businesses who communicate via email, social media and text message to people in Canada, and you need to be in the know now (otherwise it will soon apparently cost us…millions!). Canada’s new anti-spam law has been described as the world’s toughest, and the CASL has provided strict guidelines that will prohibit you from sending commercial electronic messages (CEM) without “proper” consent. As we have unfortunately come to expect from our government, this new legislation will most likely do less to stop the big bad spammers, than it will to burden and hurt small businesses who already have ethical practices, and are doing lots of good. As I constantly say, if you aren’t outraged, then you just aren’t paying attention! Since we have been asked by so many clients how to manage these new rules, with as little bandwidth as possible, we’ve created a little summary and some clicks in the right direction.
