Some things we’re excited about and think you should be too<\/h2>\n

It’s a rainy August day and I’m so happy to have one.\u00a0 Let’s hope this weather calms the flames flaring around our precious province and helps bring the gardens back to life. I want to crawl back to bed, but if I put one foot in front of the other today, I may end the day on a higher note. Anyone else exhausted from hearing about the insanity resulting mainly from the idiocy brought on by anti-vaxxesrs and anti-maskers? It’s a very scary world out there. Stay safe and try to be calm my friends! I’d say when in doubt have a glass of wine, but I had a few too many last night and would caution you not to repeat that behaviour.<\/p>\n

\"Plenty<\/a><\/p>\n

Plenty Hard Kombucha<\/h3>\n

Plenty Hard Kombucha is <\/strong>a nice way to end a day, and it’s naturally brewed, with just 5% alcohol with organic tea, fruits and botanicals that are high in antioxidants preservative-free. Both flavours, Grapefruit Hibiscus and Mango, Pineapple, Coconut, are tasty, without the cloying sweetness I’ve experienced in many ready to drink cans. It’s quite like a tea with a splash of juice and a slight fizz and has only 1g carb, 1g sugar, and 99-calories.<\/p>\n
