Make Mixology Magic

Pass me a glass, we’re talking about cocktails and mocktails you’ll want (and may need) to make to beat the heat. But before we start trading recipes and popping corks, there’s a few bartending essentials you’ll need to make a truly great drink and become the happy hour hostess with the mostess.

Shakers, muddlers, strainers—there’s no shortage to bartending tools on the market and many of them are highly specialized. Avoid the temptation to buy everything and instead invest in a few high-quality pieces you’re sure to use no matter what you’re making. Start with a classy stirring spoon and stainless-steel jigger to ensure your drinks are properly measured and mixed. Find all you need and more at Hudson’s Bay and don’t forget the ice! Try a large sized ice cube tray for a trendy look or a set of whiskey stones from House of Knives so you don’t dilute your drink.

 

We’re not saying you should judge a drink by its glass, but we’re pretty sure cocktails taste better in cute stemware. Choose beautiful tinted coloured glass in different styles or classic and timeless crystal clear for glasses that show off your bright and bubbly beverage. Visit Hudson’s Bay, Winners or Nordstrom Rack to browse some stunning options.

Sweet Dreams

Who doesn’t want a good night’s sleep? Quality sleep is vital for our overall health and can have a big impact on our mood, productivity, and overall wellness. And while some of us are lucky enough to fall asleep seemingly anytime, anywhere, others need a little boost to help catch our zzzs.

Here are a few simple tricks to help you fall asleep, stay asleep, and make your bedtime routine as relaxing and restful as possible.

Set the stage

You’d buy a new blazer to ace an interview so when it comes to quality sleep, invest in quality bedding like sheets, blankets, duvets, and pillows from QE Home. Not only can high-end bedding feel luxurious when you crawl in to sleep, but you can find bedding to meet your personal preferences like:

  • cooling sheets to prevent overheating in in the warmer summer months;  
  • weighted blankets to help you fall into a deeper sleep, quickly; 
  • silk sheets which are breathable and regulate body temperature while being gentler on hair and skin. 

Make it cool, calm, and quiet 
Ever notice how it can be so much harder to sleep in the summer? Keep your bedroom cool and quiet for the best sleep possible. Turn down your thermostat and invest in a fan to create a gentle breeze and keep the air moving. Visit Hudson’s Bay for an assortment of fans to choose from. 

Love to watch TV from bed? Sadly, this might be making it harder to sleep. Keep electronics out of the bedroom to create a space free from distractions, blue lights, and the temptation to keep scrolling. Instead, try:

  • lighting a relaxing scented candle from Bath & Body Works (we suggest something with lavender but they have a ton of great options);
  • finishing the day with a great read. Coles has their Summer Vacation Reading List out if you need any recommendations;
  • a soothing cup of tea (without caffeine) from Murchie’s to help you unwind. 


 

 

Keep it natural 

Nutrition House has several vitamins and supplements that can induce relaxation and help you sleep, including magnesium, valerian root, ginkgo biloba and more. Make sure to only try these supplements one at a time. While they’re not a magic wand for sleep issues, they can be useful when combined with other natural sleeping strategies like keeping a consistent, regular schedule. Try getting up and going to bed at the same time every day and limit napping during the day. 


Don’t fight it.
Sometimes you just can’t sleep—and that’s okay! Get up if you must and try some deep breathing or stretching before going back to bed. Just make sure you reserve your bedroom for a quiet space for sleep.

A good night’s sleep is just as important as regular exercise and a healthy diet.
Sweet dreams! 

Making the Outdoors Outstanding

Summer’s in full swing and if you’re not spending your days lounging in the backyard, making the most of your patio, or enjoying your balcony or deck, you’re missing out. Transform your space, whatever it may be, into the ultimate outdoor oasis and get ready to enjoy.

Cool down

Some of us love to see the mercury rise. Others, not so much. Create a cool waterfront escape with a new inflatable pool or funky sprinkler. Visit Hudson’s Bay and choose from cool patterns and fun prints and then turn any backyard corner into your new poolside paradise. And don’t forget the hose. Fill your new pool with a new hose, water the garden, and give yourself a refreshing spritz, too, just make sure to turn the hose off when you’re done to save water and avoid flooding the yard.

Warm up
Summer isn’t always about figuring out how to beat the heat. Sometimes, it’s about how to heat up a cool night. May we suggest a firepit? Not only is it a chic way to warm up, but it’s a quick and easy way to roast a weenie or toast some marshmallows! A beautiful addition to any backyard, Hudson’s Bay has a ton of great options!

And if a firepit isn’t in the budget, try a few cozy throw blankets and outdoor cushions from QE Home for a pop of colour and warmth as you wind down in the evening.

Play on
Did we mention your backyard is the best place to play? Make your space a fun source of endless entertainment with outdoor games like life-sized Jenga or Connect 4 from Toys R Us and get ready for friendly competition. Or let your little ones show off their sports skills with a new basketball hoop or baseball glove.

And when you need a break from the games, turn your outdoor space into a private movie theatre. Showcase has portable projectors where you can watch your favourites just about anywhere and create movie magic all season long.

Cool down, warm up, and have a blast in your very own backyard, all summer long. 

Celebrating Dad

It’s that time of year again—Father’s Day is right around the corner and we’ve got gifts for that great guy. Whoever you’re celebrating—dads, stepdads, grandads, uncles, big brothers, or just a cool male role model—treat them to all the best this season, whatever they’re into.

For the one who needs a new look

Could Dad’s look use a little love? It might be time for a new ensemble. Whether he’s a casual jeans and tee guy, prefers a polo and golf shorts, or likes to dress it up with slacks and a sport coat, we can help with stores like American Eagle, H&M, or Jack and Jones. Try a comfy and classic dark wash pair of jeans, or a practical button-down that’s sure to have him looking and feeling his best every time.


 

For the outdoors lover

Camping, hiking, or just playing in the dirt—if Dad’s and outdoorsy type, we can help. Make sure Dad’s got the right shoes on (no more beat up New Balance) and let the Footlocker team help find a cool pair of Jordans or some casual slides for the beach. Then, treat him to some outdoor R&R with a cozy hammock from Mountain Warehouse—the big kid version of a classic tree swing.


 

For the technology buff

Gadgets, gizmos, tablets, smart watches—there’s no end to the new technology available and the cool cases and accessories you can get, too. Treat Dad to a smartwatch that does it all or a portable speaker for those jam sessions on the go. Not a fan of Dad’s playlist? Noise cancelling headphones make a great gift, too and The Source has it all and more.

For the one who has everything

Let’s face it, Dad isn’t always the easiest to shop for, even when you have a gift guide helping you out. If the dad in your life already has everything, get him a gift card and plan a fun shopping trip to Willowbrook. Hit up Dad’s favourite stores and stop for a snack to refuel or grab something to go and enjoy a sweet treat or cold drink on the run.

However you’re celebrating and whoever you’re celebrating with, we wish you a great Father’s Day and fun time with family.

Just Spring Things

Spring is in full swing at Willowbrook—and everywhere else. As the weather warms and gardens bloom it’s also time to tuck heavy sweaters and jackets away and swap them for the season’s latest and greatest.

Not sure where to start? Keep reading.

Start the season with a fresh colour palette. While spring often brings to mind soft pastels and florals (which, let’s face it, are oh so sweet) if they’re not your vibe that’s totally fine. Try graphic black and white prints, bold brights, or elegant neutrals from H&M instead this spring.

Spring is a great time to get moving. Whether you’re hitting the golf course, tennis court, or simply spending extra time outdoors exploring the parks and trails, lululemon’s technical apparel, sporting goods, and new runners are all essential.

Look for light and breathable pieces to keep you cool when the sun shines, but that can easily be paired with a rain jacket (because, well, it will) or worn comfortably under layers. Not in the mood to carry a bag? Check for pockets, too, and make sure they can fit your essentials like your phone or keys.

Give your skincare a seasonal refresh.

Your skin changes continually throughout the year. Make time for a professional consultation to learn exactly what your skin type needs and build a routine that suits your lifestyle. Regardless of how much time you like to spend on your routine, be sure to include a daily SPF from Sephora or Hudson’s Bay to protect your skin from the elements and get a cute, convenient purse size to keep with you wherever your spring travels take you.

Need a little more inspo this season? Be sure to check out our Spring Lookbook for outfit goals, accessories, and must-haves, all available at Willowbrook. Happy shopping!
