Take Advantage of February 29th for the First Time in Four Years!

February 10, 2016 by Kathryn 23 Comments

If there’s a common theme for our modern lives, it’s being busy. Rushing to and from work, to different activities with kids and to various social commitments can leave so many of us feeling like we don’t have a spare minute in the day. But this year we’re all gaining the gift of not just a minute, but of a full 24 hours! That’s right; with the leap year here, it’s a great time to claim the extra day as your own and use it any way you want.

Looking for ideas on ways to spend February 29th? Why not try something you’ve never done before as a family and enjoy your time together by embracing the great Canadian winter! These three ideas are a great place to start:

Go Snowshoeing

Chances are, you’re not too far from a national park or scenic trail that is optimal for snowshoeing. Snowshoes have come a long way from the tennis racket-esque versions you’re probably expecting and are often available to rent from national parks or adventure stores. It’s a unique way to take in the fresh air and enjoy the beautiful scenery – not to mention it’s great exercise and your kids will love the novelty of floating on top of the snow! [Read more…]

Give Your Body Some Winter TLC with Morocco Naturals-Giveaway

January 6, 2016 by Kathryn 195 Comments

With the holidays finally over, my body is definitely feeling the effects of all the celebrating. From dry skin to aching muscles, I’m in need of some serious pampering! And luckily, I’ve discovered a great new way to do that thanks to Morocco Naturals! This company’s all-natural body products are the perfect way to feel rejuvenated and revitalized after the bustle of Christmas.

I received Morocco Naturals Divine Body Butter, Healing Chrysm Balm, Congest Ease Rub and Tooth Fairy toothpaste to test out for myself. And since I’ve been fighting a cold recently, the Congest Ease was the first product I decided to test out. With moisturizing Shea butter and Mango Butter combined with essential oils including eucalyptus, camphor and menthol, it promised to help relieve coughing and congestion.

Heal Minor Wounds Faster with Nexcare Tegaderm Dressings and Other Nexcare Products-Giveaway

October 14, 2014 by Kathryn 255 Comments

My energy-filled boys get their fair share of bumps and scrapes in the course of their days and I have to admit that I’m often sporting just as many little injuries as they are. While bandages are always in the cupboards as a result, it wasn’t until last year that I discovered Nexcare bandages. The tight-sealing, waterproof bandages are the same ones used in hospitals and I love how easy they are to apply compared to traditional bandages as well as how much better they are at staying in place covering a wound.

Now Nexcare is innovating once again with its new Tegaderm dressings. These bandages take a new healing concept that is currently mostly used in hospitals, called moist healing, to help minor injuries heal faster and with less pain. Unlike the dry healing method, which allows a scab to form over a wound as the skin underneath repairs itself, moist healing seals the wound with a protective, breathable dressing that keeps the wound moist by containing the body’s fluid. I was intrigued to learn that in addition to faster and less painful healing, moist healing also generally results in less scarring as well!

Five Fun Activities from RUB A535 to Get Your Family Outdoors this Spring

May 14, 2014 by Kathryn 19 Comments

After a long winter and an even longer wait for warmer weather, Saskatchewan is finally starting to get some of that sweet sunshine that I love so much and that means it’s time to head outside! I love being able to get back outdoors again with my boys and be a little more active, but it always amazes me how stiff I get the first few times I spend the day outside. After all, I do walk everywhere, even in the winter, but I guess the activities of spring work different muscles!

Luckily, I always keep plenty of RUB A535 Natural Source Arnica Gel-Cream in my cupboard! This cream is the absolute best for soothing my sore muscles after a long day and is made with 100% naturally sourced Arnica montana! I love the light scent of the cream and it soaks into the skin beautifully with no greasy feel. Even better, RUB A535 Arnica is also great for speeding the healing of children’s bumps and bruises!
