    BLISSED OUT at Scandinave Spa Mont-Tremblant, Quebec

    July 25, 2017 - By 

    At the end of the day I linger longest. Last of our group, still indulging and squeezing every last drop of solitude and quiet and peace out of the Spa experience. Today, on our final morning in Tremblant, Quebec a group of travel influencers including myself, are happily visiting Scandinave Spa Mont-Tremblant before we leave for Gatineau area. Spa Scandinave The spa is a calming experience after canoeing, hiking, biking and zip lining for days. It is a welcome event for me. Long overdue.

    Better Sleep with Our Douglas Bed Canadian Mattress

    July 24, 2017 - By 

    An eco-friendly Canadian mattress company that helps with better sleep? It’s about time. Better sleep is in high demand in a lot of homes. Everybody wants a good night’s sleep. Unfortunately, that can be elusive for a lot of people. Better sleep starts in the morning with good habits, and it hinges on having a good mattress too. Our old mattress was well over ten years old. And my husband has had minor complaints about sleep for months now. When he injured his shoulder in the spring at work, his sleep deteriorated even more, which meant I also suffered. When I heard about Douglas Bed by Novosbed…

    July 21, 2017 - By 

    You guys seem to love these word searches so I had my amazing helper build a beautiful new one that has some STEM learning in mind. When my kids were small there was a time when they were transfixed by the planets. In fact, they were as into planets as they were into dinosaurs for a few years. If your kids are at all like mine were then this Planets and Constellations Word Search will be perfect. Are your kids science junkies? Mine can be sometimes. It’s a good thing. Do you have a telescope? Are they budding astronomers? Then this…

    Four Tips to Help Ditch This Annoying Itch #ChurchandDwight

    July 20, 2017 - By 

    After the winter months, let’s face it we all crave a bit of sun and warm patio weather. But, did you know that yeast infections can occur more frequently in summer months? Yes, you read that right. For many women, the warmer temperature brings an increased risk of the“itch” that nobody likes to talk about – yeast infections. Not so surprisingly, yeast infections affect a lot of women. Approximately five per cent of women experience reoccurring yeast infections (3 to 4 infections in the last year)[1]. And I have met maybe 1-2 women n my life who have never had a…

    Taking on Space Camp at US Space and Rocket Center

    July 19, 2017 - By 

    It’s the T Minus countdown that trips us up multiple times. The landing part is smooth. The launch pretty much textbook. But then a mechanical failure threatens the entire mission and time gets jumbled. Over and over. I wonder if the astronauts at first have this much trouble.

We, are a group of influencers, travel writers gathered, two days prior to the launch of TBEX travel Bloggers Exchange conference in Huntsville, Alabama. We are a…

    July 12, 2017 - By 

    Travel games are a great way to make any trip better. They are especially good, however, for road tripping.

    I have a summer mantra this year. It’s a little bit like this You do you and I’ll do me. It’s definitely not new.
