Stretch It Out

This year I’ve found a renewed interested in my at-home yoga practice, and I’ve recommitted to starting each morning with 20 minutes of stretch and strengthening movement. But, since it’s been awhile since I dusted off my yoga tights, I noticed that I could use a new pair. I’ll be picking up this simple option to help me get my stretch on. —Alexandra Donaldson, fashion & beauty editor

Go with the flow

The Honey Pot Company is looking to make that time of the month a little more manageable. It offers organic cotton pads that are free from harmful ingredients and artificial fragrances, making sure that the only thing getting up-close and personal with your “honey pot” is 100 per cent natural. I’m particularly excited about their herbal pads that are infused with mint, lavender and aloe essential oils that can help to ease cramps and discomfort. Plus, all of their products are “made by humans with vaginas, for humans with vaginas,” because it takes one to know one. —Murissa Barrington, digital assistant

Eco Eating

I eat lunch at my desk all the time (whether I bring a great healthy meal from home, or I opt for something a little more—er—convenient), so it’s time I pick up a set of utensils I can keep there instead of opting for plastic. This bamboo travel cutlery set is perfect. It comes with the required spoon fork and knife, but also chopsticks (for my sushi cravings), a straw (for when I just need an afternoon smoothie) and even a tool to clean the straw. There are no more excuses for using single-use plastic—especially when you can pick up this set for under $20. —AD

Slimming Sweets

I love sweets more than anything else, but I also know that too many sweets mean my dream summer body won’t be a reality anytime soon. That’s why I absolutely love my new discovery, SmartSweets. They contain only 3grams of natural sugar and are free of artificial sweeteners, sugar alcohols and GMO ingredients. Why I really love them though is because they look and taste just like the real deal except I can snack on them guiltlessly and be well on my way to kicking my sugar addiction and meeting my health and fitness goals. - MB
