Her shift was soon to begin. An emergency doctor, prepared for battle. Feet encased, monkey suit secured, hair harnessed, face masked. Glove? Only one? No time to search. Grabbing another, she greets her first patient of the day.
An hour later her nurse giggled, “We found the missing glove, Doctor.”
But why had no one said anything?
Perhaps the baby the doctor gently prodded and probed and...

Imagine being surrounded by giant strip malls, prosaic chain stores and conglomerations. Is this where our world is headed? Not to mention decreased quality of products and exploitation of workers. You can keep our communities alive and diverse by purchasing your goods from independent stores. The choice is yours.
Earth to Body Natural Skin Care Company’s home base is in Pointe Claire, with our...

The phone is ringing at Earth to Body headquarters.
“Hi. My name is Chris, calling from a correctional centre in northern Manitoba. I came across your website and discovered that you sell shampoo bars. We have been government mandated to switch from liquid shampoo in bottles to an actual shampoo bar. We thought maybe you might have something for us.” He went on to explain.
“By law, each inmate...

Earth to body has some pretty amazing employees. Over the years we have had many different people work for us. All of them have either been family or close long time friends. People we trust, people we love and care about us and our family business. We have thrived because of these hard working, loyal people. One in particular has given me a story I use to this day in my booth.
Years ago I...

What do you call your mother? I used to call her Mama, but now I call her Mom.
Why do you love your Mom so much?She is very nice, loving, carefree and way different from other moms in every aspect. She’s willing to go off the grid. I like that she’s different because it makes life more fun and unique.

Why?Because she...

Welcome to ‘La Boutique Earth to Body’. Come sit. Enjoy a respite for a few minutes.

We have had many memorable encounters over the last 15 years. This one story will stick with me forever. Such an experience keeps me going and what makes me love what I do so much. It takes place at the Edmonton Butterdome Signatures Craft Show. A Saturday and quite busy. The day just flies by. I finish up with a customer and go to grab a quick break. On my return a young girl comes in. Her...

“Look out! Omygod, IT'S going to cross the road. Slow downnnnnnn!
A deer. A deer. Omygod, we almost hit a deer.”
“It wasn’t a deer. It was a moose. And it ‘s escaped back into the woods.”
Do I argue, discuss, relent?
“Are those trees dead from a forest fire or a blight? “
“Does a grisly attack us for our meat or because we have crossed into their territory? “
“Was that a bald eagle or...

It’s been almost 40 years since we first visited Lake Louise. It was 1974, travelling in our Westfalia Volkswagen van on a cross Canada, USA and Mexico year long tour. We were young, adventurous and Lake Louise was a calling. The glacial mountains framed a jewel of paradise. And that day the sun blessed us, transforming the glacial waters into a magnificence of turquoise that left us breathless...

Does Java, (he, the Bichon/Terrier), know this
little soul (she, Sunny) is a lot like him?
She, too, can roll over and crawl across the floor
and rise up on all fours.
She, too, is small, and can splay on her back
and limb dance in the air.
Are they communicating though some aura?
Through small murmurs and gentle nose touches,
where wet kisses know no boundaries?
There are no fears.
The Splay...
