Wanna be more like me? Can’t blame ya. I use and recommend these products!
Personal Things
- Dr. Tung’s Smart Floss – This floss is a game changer! Worth every penny. It removes so much more plaque than normal floss! And tastes like cardamon. Mmmmmm. Absolute game changer. It makes my teeth feel so good, I actually floss more often! hat tip to my friend Alex for the recommendation!
Winter Gear
- SKOOKUMbrand winter parka – I wear and recommend the Ivvavik Anorak (pull over) in Fireweed Pink with a coyote ruff.
- Outdoor Research Alti II mittens – I wear a black, men’s, in medium. They have a mitten inside (not glove!) and pull up over your coat’s wrist. Warmest mittens I’ve had. With lots of room for a disposable warmer too for even extra warmth.
- Neoprene half face mask – I’ve used these for years. They keep the frostbite off your face! Pair with a fleece neck gaitor and a toque with ear flaps and you’re golden!
- Steger Mukluks – warmest boots for dry snow conditions like we have here! We wear the Arctic ones.
- Fleece neck gaiter – I’ve got this one, and a royal blue one from SAIL.ca. This is a key part of my winter gear – keeps my neck and chin warm, and can easily pull up to cover my mouth and cheeks when needed.
- Keen Revel 4 High Polar Hiking boots – These hikers have become my favourite winter hiking and walking boot. Warm, wide toe box, easy tie, comfortable.
Hiking Gear
- Altra Olympus hiking shoes – These are absolutely the BEST shoes to walk and hike in. Even just for standing! They have incredible padding under your foot, and dry super fast.
- Darn Tough socks – particularly the midweight socks! Pricey, but guaranteed for LIFE! I’ve yet to have a pair wear out!
Travel Accessories
- Electrolytes! I like Nuun tablets. I drink at least a litre of water the first night in a hotel room after flying, with Nuun electrolytes in my water. They help you stay feeling good, avoid dehydration, and avoid headaches. They are so easy to pack in your carry-on too for layovers.
- North Face Router backpack – This is my latest travel backpack and I love it! It’s huge, 40L! Tons of pockets, great sleeves for water bottles, padding, beautiful nice handle on the top. Laptop sleeve.
- Anker Prime Wall Plug – I love this Anker plug to charge a bunch of things when I’m travelling and find a plug. It has 2 USB-C ports, plus the old school larger USB port. I plug in my battery pack to top it off, while also charging my watch and phone.
Workout/Exercise
- Maple Brown Sugar Flavoured Whey Isolate Protein Powder – My favourite protein powder and flavour. I add a scoop of this to my oatmeal for breakfast most mornings.
Books
- The Trick to Money is Having Some! by Stuart Wilde – Life-changing read, with implications for business, work, and general life.
