Magic Syrup, A Mental Health Event, and A New House Cleaning App!

January 11, 2019 By Kari Leave a Comment

Hidden gems, cool local product, and unique events happening in the Edmonton area! See what made your Local Love List this week!

Local Love List-1

Feel Good Syrup

I can’t say enough good things about this product. Elderberry-based Feel Good Syrup is freshly brewed in St. Albert and ships all over North America. You can order right off their website or check the Retailers list to where to pop in and grab some. When I feel a cold coming on, I take a swig of this delicious liquid and the symptoms pretty much stop. You can also just sip it daily to build up immunity. Disclaimer: As always, be sure to check with your doctor first. 

Local Love List-2

 

Ice Castles

The magical ice castles are back on at Hawrelak Park! It’s a fun family outing (about the same cost as going to the movies). A few tips:

  • go during the week so it’s less expensive.
  • children three and under are free.
  • dress warmer than you think you’ll have to. Standing outside (even in warmer winter temps) gets cold fast!
  • bring a sled, NOT a stroller for easier transport.

Everything you need to know here.

Kid Dance Class

XTend Barre is kicking off its Petites dance and movement class this Sunday and there are still a few spots available! The unparented class runs for six weeks (cost and time details in the photos below). Also, if you’re interested in trying a barre or circuit class yourself at Xtend Barre use my code KariXtend to get your first class free! Book online by purchasing a single class (without paying), and enter the KariXtend promo code at checkout. Book in here.

Local Love List-4

Mental Health Event

Two of my favourite Edmontonians are headlining ‘Elevate: Mental Health, An Impact Event” happening Tuesday, January 22 6:30-9pm. Blake Loates, along with a group of We All Believe in You community members, will lead the chat dubbed as “an open and real discussion on mental health”, moderated by filmmaker and photographer Andrea Beca. More details here.

Local Love List-5

Cleaning App

We’ve tried the new CleanNow app a few times and really love it! The platform allows you to book a highly-trained and reliable house cleaner on-demand in minutes from your smart phone. It’s basically the Uber of cleaning services. They can be at your place within 30 minutes – even just to make beds or do dishes or you can book regular cleanings. How awesome is that?! They’re expanding across Canada this year, so be sure to check their site to find out when they’ll be in your neighbourhood!

What do you do when other kids are mean to your ki What do you do when other kids are mean to your kid? How do you handle it? No matter what season you're in with parenting or how old your kids are, I would love to hear your tactics! Please share below in the comments and we can all learn from each other👇👇. #pinkshirtday

Even when Wyatt was littler and would sometimes get rejected at the park when he asked to play, it would shatter my heart. 😫

I was bullied in high school pretty bad. My aunt stepped in one time and regulated some mean girls. Shared the (now) hilarious story on my Stories.❤❤

Wyatt's cute tee is from @deuxpardeuxkids, I'm wearing my @smashtess sweetheart roper and that heart print out is @justinema's free printable Kindness Challenge! (Looks like I have some catching up to do)! 🤣
See that cute little face photo bombing in the bac See that cute little face photo bombing in the back? 😊 He helps with my mental health on a daily basis. I know what each person needs varies, but for me, getting alone time to walk the dogs has been key in managing my anxiety and stress (especially this past year).

I believe investing in mental health initiatives is more important than ever. I’m so happy to be partnering with @atbfinancial for a really meaningful campaign called #ATBUp.

Each weekday from March 1-12, one more simple, FUN social challenge will be presented. When you complete and share on social using #ATBUp, @atbfinancial will donate $1 to @mentalhealthab!

I’ll be heading up two challenges—and including Moses 🐶 and Monroe 🐶. I hope you’ll join me! 😊💛

Visit up.atb.com to enter to win prizes, and get more info about the challenges and Alberta’s Mental Health Foundation.
I love you, my Valentine.❤ I love traveling with I love you, my Valentine.❤ I love traveling with you. I miss traveling. The end. Happy Valentine's Day!
