8. Clean Burning Candles
We love to support local, and burningflame.ca makes the most beautiful and deliciously naturally scented candles. Order them online or stop by Parks Health Shop in the Sante Centre to test one out. Soy candles are manufactured from soybeans, a natural, renewable source grown in many regions by local farmers. Soy candles are sought after because they burn clean and last much longer than petroleum based paraffin wax candles you buy at the grocery store. Our goal is to bring you closer to the memories and fragrances you love without the toxic ingredients.

Who knew a mini waffle maker could make a high protein/low carb breakfast quick, versatile and easy? Make chaffles in a matter of minutes and top with yogurt and berries, guac or eggs and bacon. Store extras in the freezer and pop in the toaster last minute. You'll even get the kids involved in making themselves a healthy snack when they try this out!
