Scream for (Healthy) Ice Cream

Okay, so ice cream isn’t the healthiest of snacks, but there has definitely been a surge lately of this iced treat in low-cal or healthier options than your standard double-scoop. Take CoolWay for example. There are only 280-360 calories per pint, with less sugar. Add to that that it’s gluten- and peanut-free and Canadian, and you can bet I’ll be trying every flavour. To start, I’ll take a pint of salted caramel please! —Alexandra Donaldson, fashion and beauty editor

Allergy Season

This is the first year in my life I’ve found myself really affected by allergies, and I have to say, I’m not a fan. I’ve got this mist from wellness brand Saje on my shopping list, to hopefully counteract some of the sneezing and stuffiness. It’s got lemon, peppermint and myrrh and I’ll spray it in my space at work and at home before breathing deeply and hoping those sneezes stay away. —AD

Roll it Out

A few years ago, the muscles in my neck, shoulders, and upper back seized up. I couldn’t visit a massage therapist every day, so I started going to tune-up classes. Using yoga stretches, foam rollers and specialized therapy balls, this self-massage routine loosened my back and released stress. Now, I have a tune-up ball at home to roll out my back whenever it gets too tight. I can’t recommend these enough. —MD
