Every year, companies both big and small submit their products for consideration of a PTPA Media Award – “Parent Tested, Parent Approved.” Because independent parents evaluate these products in their own homes, PTPA winners are chosen based on merit and consumer experience – not on commercial considerations. This ensures that when you see the PTPA Media “Winner” Seal, you know you’re purchasing a high-quality product or service. As a result, the PTPA Seal has quickly gained recognition as an international leader in certifying consumer products for quality, effectiveness and value.
It’s summertime and the living is easy. What’s not so easy is facing those bulges, rolls, and ripples that are suddenly so much more visible. That’s right.

With the sunshine finally beaming down in all its glory, we want to share with you some of our favorite sunscreens for kids (and adults too!). We’ll also take a moment to point out some sunscreens you should simply walk on by.

The end of winter brings the first signs of spring: flowers, grasses and trees blooming. For millions of Canadians it is the beginning of their battle with seasonal allergies, or allergic rhinitis. The Canadian Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Foundation estimates that 20-25% of Canadians have hay fever and with the mild winter we’ve experienced this year in the Okanagan, it may be shaping up to be a tough year for those folks.
