If there’s one thing we can’t get enough of, it’s good, restful sleep. Remember the last time you woke up feeling truly refreshed, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, ready to take on the world? Yeah, well, we can’t either—and pandemic stress hasn’t helped. Although older adults need as much sleep as younger ones, it seems like, as we age, that perfect bedtime bliss just gets more and more elusive. Whether that’s because we sleep less deeply and become more sensitive to disruptions like noises, or we have to rouse ourselves in the night to use the loo, or it simply becomes harder to fall asleep from the get-go remains undetermined by scientists, but the result is the same. We’re tired… and we’re tired of it. This time of year may provide the ideal…

Vancouver Island

Nestled against the southwestern edge of British Columbia in the Pacific Ocean, this 460-kilometre-long island is known for its breathtaking natural scenery, arts communities and mild temperatures.

To our mind, the delights of this island are best savoured over a week or more. Here are just a few hot spots to whet your appetite for this coastal paradise. Victoria Located on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, the city of Victoria is the largest on the island, and boasts Canada’s mildest climate.

skin detox Although certain skin-care procedures, like blackhead extractions, should be saved for the professionals, there are several treatments that you can do at home. Here’s how to keep skin in tip-top shape while enjoying a well-deserved moment of relaxation, all without leaving the bathroom. Cleanse: “At Caudalie, we start from the principle that we must clean the skin before treating it,” says Régine Berthelot, global manager of spa training for Caudalie America. So whether you’re doing a body or facial treatment, always start with cleansing, she says, and make sure your shower gel and makeup remover don’t contain sulphates that can strip the skin. Exfoliate: Exfoliation is essential, according to Berthelot. “Once we’ve removed the dead cells we’re able to give in-depth treatment to the skin,” she says. If you usually exfoliate…

Taming the Beast

The last two-and-a-half years have created a whole host of financial shocks and stressors that have impacted many of us and our bank accounts. Some people lost their lives to Covid-19, some lost their jobs and/or businesses, and many of us have simply tried to keep the proverbial water below our necks to stay afloat. More specifically, many people living in Canada are struggling with soaring housing costs, high interest rates and an ever-increasing cost of living. Inflation is forcing many Canadians to cut back to make ends meet. Here are some strategies to help keep inflation from taking over your life: 1 PLAN YOUR MEALS The price of food is as tough to swallow as three-day old bread! Meal planning helps save us time and money by focusing only on what’s needed…

Taming the Beast

With the holidays on the horizon, it’s time to start thinking about what to put underneath your tree. While gift-giving can certainly be a joyful experience, it can also be a source of excess and waste—whether it’s the wrapping paper that gets tossed in the trash or that sweater you received that’s long been forgotten in the depths of your closet. Luckily, with a few simple changes, you can reduce your household holiday waste by wrapping presents more sustainably—and giving greener gifts, too. Check your wrap The problem with conventional wrapping paper, gift bags and accessories, such as ribbon and bows, is that some of these items can’t be recycled. If the items contain any non-paper features—like foil, wax or cellophane—it means they’re made from mixed materials, which renders them nonrecyclable in…

THINK USEFUL: Whether it’s a reusable coffee mug, a frying pan or a new wallet, buying something that someone actually needs means the gift will be used; in other words, it won’t be discarded or forgotten. If you don’t know what someone needs, just ask. CONSIDER COMESTIBLES: Buy wine, craft beer, coffee, artisanal chocolates, jam—and, if you can, source them locally. If you want to go one step further, bake some holiday sweets yourself. You can keep the wrapping to a minimum. GO WITH A GIFT CARD: Gift cards are great for both reducing your gift wrap and ensuring the gift will be used. You can still think outside the box: A gift card for a favourite local restaurant, hair salon or yoga studio the recipient frequents is sure to be appreciated. SHOP…

COPE WITH THE CHANGE

Twice a year we endure the irksome time change. While “falling back” means you gain an hour, it can still cause disruptions to your daily life. Here are some tips for surviving daylight saving time’s end on November 6th: • Stick to your routine: Wake up and go to bed at the same time. • Get the right light: Soak up natural light in the morning and reduce blue light from electronics at night. • Wind down and relax: Have a cup of tea, take a bath or practice mindful breathing.…

outstanding OREGANO

THE BENEFITS From A to Za’atar Za’atar is a spice blend that traditionally contains oregano, thyme, sumac and sesame seeds. It refers to the spice mixture, as well as the family of herbs, including wild oregano, which make up the base of this delectable seasoning. This Middle Eastern culinary mix has been referenced throughout the ages for its healing capabilities. The oregano and thyme in za’atar contain potent plant compounds, including thymol and carvacrol, which have demonstrated antioxidant, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Za’atar can be used in any dish that calls for oregano or thyme. Goodbye, Germs One of oregano’s most promising applications is as an antimicrobial agent; it has been shown to be effective against certain bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Notably used as a treatment for colds and flus, oil of oregano…

There are two types of inflammation—acute and chronic. Acute inflammation is a reaction that happens in the body in response to an injury, like a cut or scrape, or some kind of foreign invader, such as a bacteria, virus, chemical or allergen. When this happens, the immune system releases inflammatory cells and cytokines, which result in redness, pain and swelling, thus beginning the healing process. Once the injury is healed or the foreign invader is gone, acute inflammation stops. Chronic inflammation, the kind we need to worry about, is when slow, low-grade inflammation occurs in the body over a long period of time. This can happen for many different reasons. For example, autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis cause the body to attack its own healthy cells, and untreated acute inflammation…

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EATING CHECKLIST

While there’s no standard definition of what an anti-inflammatory diet consists of, the following guidelines offer a place to start. Use this checklist during meal planning for the week to help you include more of the foods that provide huge health benefits. Work with a registered dietitian for support with individualizing and implementing dietary changes like these. □ Six to 10 servings of non-starchy vegetables and colourful fruit per day Six 1/2-cup servings of whole grains (oats, brown rice, wild rice, buckwheat groats, barley and quinoa) or starchy vegetables (potatoes, sweet potatoes, squash, corn and peas) per day □ Small amounts of healthy fats with each meal (fatty fish, 2 tbsp nuts and nut butters, 1/4 avocado, 1 tbsp olive oil) □ One to two servings of soy protein per day (like 1 cup…

UPHOLSTERED PLATFORM BEDS A fabric-covered bed or head-board will bring warmth and cozy vibes to your bedroom. This type of bed frame works as both a plush balance for other standout design elements and, in more minimal spaces, the star of the show itself! LAYERS OF LINENS Percale, cotton sateen, polyester, linen, bamboo…the choice of bedding materials is a matter of taste (see our article “Between the Sheets,” page 58), but the objective is always to maximize comfort. For the sleekest look leading into the cold weather days, we recommend placing a coverlet on top of your cozy duvet. ROUNDED EDGES Sleek furniture doesn’t have to be angular. Current trends demonstrate this well, since designers offer furniture with simple lines with rounded corners. Result: a feeling of fluidity, sensuality and great softness that’s perfect for…

between the sheets

STANDARD COTTON A common basic material, standard cotton is a breathable natural fibre. It holds up relatively well to washing, but can require ironing if you’re not a fan of wrinkles. COTTON PERCALE There are several grades of cotton percale, depending on thread count, but they all contain longer, more tightly woven fibres than those of standard cotton. Percale is high-end construction, durable, breathable and quite cool to the touch. It looks sleeker when ironed. Percale may not be the best choice for cold sleepers. COTTON SATEEN Cotton sateen’s long fibres are treated to have increased lustre and strength. The shinier appearance of cotton sateen and its very fine and tight weave are reminiscent of the sheets at luxury hotels. They’re wrinkle-resistant and cozy, but hot sleepers may find that these sheets retain too much…
