Baths are a really lovely way to consciously practice self care, especially if you enhance them a little! We’ve gathered a few of our favourite, DIY, natural bath ‘experiences’ below. What we like about them, is they are all very simple recipes that can be made with completely natural ingredients, many of which are likely already in your house. And with a simple mason jar, they can easily become thoughtful gifts with a handmade touch.

Read MoreWe’re always getting amazing new natural products in—many made right here in BC—so we decided to start a regular monthly blog series that highlights some of the coolest products that have recently hit our shelves! Here are our New Product Picks for September/October 2021.
Read MoreWe love a good “side-hustle-to-successful-independent-business” story! Christine Yee’s certified gluten-free dumplings have pretty much achieved cult status in the coastal BC region. Available in four flavours—including two vegan options, Golden Dumplings and Jade Dumplings—her premium product draws on and honours her family culinary tradition. Equally amazing for both a quick, healthy snack or a big, beautiful dinner with friends and family, the care she puts into creating them definitely shows in their quality and deliciousness! We’re really glad Christine was able to find some time to answer our Mini Interview questions so you can get to know her a bit, and get little peek into the life of another awesome local maker in our community.
Read MoreWhile we're lucky enough to be able to grow lots of herbs year round here on the BC West Coast many are extra abundant in these warmer months, which makes this the perfect time to stock up on or harvest a whole bunch, and dry them for use in your winter dishes and even home-blended teas. It's a really simple and satisfying process that you can do meditatively on your own, or with the whole family or a group of friends. Everyone knows things taste better with an 'I made that' ingredient added!
Read MoreOur latest maker hails from across the country! We’re really happy we got a chance to catch up with Toronto-based Leila Keshavjee, founder of Happy Pops, a fabulously flavourful line of all natural popsicles—which she created by drawing on her background in athletics and kinesiology, as well as on her cultural heritage. We love Happy Pops because they really do live up to their name and definitely put a smile on the face of everyone who tries them! Leila’s journey has taken her from idea, to Dragon’s Den, to national distribution. We’re proud to be the first BC grocer to have stocked Happy Pops, and we’re so pleased Lelia found some time in her super busy, small independent business owner’s schedule to answer our Mini Interview questions.

Read MoreTis the season! And by that we mean Stone Fruit Season! Known by botanists as ‘drupes’, stone fruits, such as peaches, plums, nectarines, and cherries grow their seeds inside a ‘stone’ that's surround by the juicy deliciousness we love to eat. Stone fruits are packed with an impressive array of vitamins and minerals, and we’ve put together an overview of some of the top health benefits they can offer.

Read MoreLife always has its challenges, as the past year has really demonstrated, and sometimes both the big picture and daily busyness can feel pretty overwhelming. It can often be very helpful to just focus on the things we can control, and commit to taking some simple, day-to-day actions that can have a seemingly small, perhaps, but definitely positive impact on us, our communities, and our planet. The truth is even little gestures of care can end up having a really big positive impact on overall wellness.
Read MoreFrom making personal deliveries on one local block using a little red wagon, to now having distribution throughout Western Canada, Sabrina and Kristin of Squamish Water Kefir have turned their passion for probiotics into a fabulous and well-loved range of water kefir-based products. We're super happy they found time to chat with us about how it all got started, their daily motivations and breakfast favs, and, as always, some top tips for feeling awesome.
Read MoreOmega 3 Nutracleanse is brought to you by Sunshine Coast-based entrepreneur sisters, Melanie, Teresa, and Dina. Their “O3NC” blend brings together five simple ingredients: Ground Flaxseed, Psyllium Husk, Fenugreek Seed Powder, Dandelion Root Powder & Burdock Root Powder.

Read MoreOne of the many things we love so much about our community of small local makers, is how their products and their businesses are so truly personal for them. Their motivation for creating something new and wonderful is always clearly driven by a real desire to improve the health and wellness of their family, friends, and community, and to create a product that the people around them will truly love.
Read MoreOutdoor social time has been so important for so many of us over the past year. But fresh air and green spaces can always be super beneficial for anyone, on so many levels, and kids are certainly no exception to this rule. It can be a real struggle to tear kids aways from devices, but sometimes if you can just get them out the door and provide a few cool ideas and fun snacks, it’s surprising how quickly they can get carried away and forget that they are supposed to be begging for screen time. Here are a few tips that could come in handy.
