Back from our holiday!

We are back in business on our website - sorry for the inconvenience of being temporarily closed! Yesterday at the Brampton Art in the Open there were lots of different events going on including the Classic Cars event which was fun. Thank you thank you thank you to the lady who keeps bringing me lavender - this time leaving it for me while I was on holiday.

Some of you have asked about my bug off soap and if it is available in a spray. It is, and it will be available at the Art in the Open, but not on our website (sorry!).

Rain, Rain, Go Away........

Another great morning at Brampton Art in the Open...but then...pouring rain! Just a reminder that Pura Vida Spa...ahh! WILL NOT BE AT ART IN THE OPEN for the next two Saturdays (July 3rd and 10th). We will return on Saturday, July 17th.

Brampton Art in the Open

There were a lot of people at Art in the Open this past weekend and the Brampton Farmer's Market (who knew people got up that early on a Saturday!). We got to meet a lot of very nice customers. Thank you very much to the Lavender lady who went all the way home, came back, and gave me fresh lavender from her garden! I also enjoyed talking it up with new customer Melissa and her son Dante who kept me very entertained (and let me know what he did and did not like!). Hoping every Saturday this summer will be just as fun!!!

All Natural Bug Repellent Soap

I just came back from a long weekend up North spending it with my cousin and her newborn twins! (too cute)....and man oh man are the mosquitoes up there massive (as my cousin's husband said "They're definitely not city mosquitoes!). Inspired by my weekend and my future trips up there, I just made a BUGG OFF soap for my next visit up North (and any other cottage visits this summer). This soap is infused with eight different essential oils that repel bugs. I can smell why they will keep the bugs at bay...that citronella is powerful stuff! I can't wait to use it and go visit

May 1st & 2nd, The Fermenting Cellar

Pura Vida Spa...ahh! teamed up with Heavenly Daze at the Kimberley Seldon show for the first weekend of May. On the first day, the morning was crazy busy. There were a lot of great vendors, including the Cocoa Room, which had the yummiest and most colourful chocolate! The crowds died down a bit later on Saturday and on Sunday. The designer market was a great experience for Pura Vida Spa...ahh! Carmen and Karen from Heavenly Daze also made this weekend a fun one. BTW - I think our booth looked awsome! Check out the pictures.
