Summer is here! Have you been protecting yourself against sun exposure? When selecting a sunscreen, go for the “broad spectrum” protection. Sunscreens with this label protect against both UVA and UVB rays. Make sure your sunscreen has a sun protection factor of 30 or higher. The SPF number is the level of protection the sunscreen provides against harmful rays. Higher SPF numbers do mean more protection, but the higher you go, the smaller the difference becomes. Secondly, look at the ingredients. Physical blockers (titanium dioxide, zinc oxide) provide the best protection and cause less skin irritation than chemical sunscreens.

Show Mom Some Love
Flowers are a timeless way to show love and appreciation on Mother’s Day. Their vibrant colors and sweet scents beautifully express the gratitude we feel but sometimes struggle to say. From classic roses to cheerful daisies or elegant lilies, each bloom carries a message of care, admiration, and warmth. Gifting flowers is more than a tradition—it’s a heartfelt gesture that brightens a mother’s day and reminds her how deeply she’s cherished. Whether given in a bouquet or planted in a garden, flowers say “thank you” in nature’s most graceful language, making Mother’s Day a little more special and full of love.
Allergy Season Is Back
Many people suffering from seasonal hypersensitivities, such as head pressure, itchy eyes, and a runny or stuffy nose this allergy season will find only temporary relief, or no relief at all, from over-the-counter remedies. Alternative approaches, such as nutritional supplementation focus on more than just symptomatic relief. They enable the body’s ability to remove existing allergens embedded in the sinus tissues, thereby minimizing the histamine and inflammatory reactions. This stops the over-production of mucus that the body makes to try and push the allergens out. Take a different approach this allergy season – treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

Mother’s Day After Loss
Mother’s Day can bring up difficult emotions, especially if your mom has passed away. It may remind you of a cherished relationship that you can no longer celebrate in the same way. However, amidst the sadness, Mother’s Day can also offer an opportunity to look back on fond memories. As much as you may be hurting, try not to hide out and ignore the holiday. Instead, find a way to honor her memory, whether it’s continuing a tradition you shared, writing a letter to her, or gathering with others who grieve her loss. If you’re struggling with grief, reaching out to a professional can provide valuable support and guidance.

Staying socially connected is essential for overall well-being as we age. Regular social interaction can boost mood, sharpen memory, reduce stress, and even improve physical health. Whether it’s joining a walking group, attending community events, volunteering, or simply enjoying a regular coffee date with friends or family—connection matters. Even small interactions, like a chat with a neighbour, can brighten your day and make a lasting impact. If mobility or transportation is a challenge, consider virtual visits or phone check-ins.
