This is North America’s best seller for rough blocks, slabs, tiles and construction-ready granite. While the polished variety works well in countertops, it is slippery when wet, Bordt cautions.

With the increasing amount of time spent in front of screens, the divide between man and nature widens deeply. It’s time to reconnect with nature! There is infinite wonder around us to see and experience. In even the smallest portion of grassed area, there is a tiny world just begging to be discovered. One thing Wee One and I love to do is explore – we go on many adventures. One day, we found ourselves at one of our usual stops, the Langley Centennial Museum. We love to lose ourselves in glimpses of the past and seek inspiration, however, on one visit, we were drawn to the gift shop looking at books. A lovely book caught my eye, 109 Walks in British Columbia‚ Lower Mainland by Mary and David Macaree. This was a superb find. More adventures to plan, as the pages are filled with inviting spots to look for more wonders. Then it was off to another very fun place, where kids can run, roam and learn about the birthplace of B.C.; the Historic Fort in Langley. Wee One has spent hours running, looking out at the Fraser River and taking in the beautiful surroundings and being entertained by the staff eager to teach him what they know. Rounding out our adventures, we acquired a notebook, birding book, a pair of binoculars, a magnifying glass – it is amazing to see his face light up when he makes a new discovery. I pop out my iPhone to Google things never seen before – while technology is a powerful part of our everyday, you really can also use it to enhance time spent outdoors. Can’t wait for the next adventure day. I’ll have my books, picnic lunch, tools and iPhone charged and ready to go. I love how technology can be a part of, and actually enrich, these outdoor experiences.

As the summer months approach and the sun becomes a more pronounced fixture in our day-to-day lives, the signs of aging can start to become more and more apparent. Some of the Fraser Valley’s top anti-aging experts offer innovative procedures and treatments designed to slow down – or even reverse – changes that come with time.

Institute owner Caree Ludwar describes the Titan by Cutera as her “absolute favourite – the gold standard for lax-skin treatments.” Using safe infrared light energy delivered through a sapphire tip, Titan comfortably tightens sagging skin on not only the face but also other areas of the body, including the abdomen and thighs. About an hour before the treatment begins, a topical numbing cream is applied to the targeted area, allowing the patient to remain comfortable throughout the procedure. As the dermis well below the skin’s surface is heated by the infrared light, long-term collagen growth is stimulated. At the same time, the skin’s outer surface is protected through continuous cooling from the Titan handpiece. With each pulse, patients feel first cool, then a brief heating sensation, followed by another cool feeling. The procedure itself takes about an hour,

The final step is the infusion of a hyaluronic-acid solution, a substance that occurs naturally in the body and provides fullness to the tissue, but also depletes with age. The HydraFacial MD leaves skin looking radiant, and improvements are visible immediately after the treatment. With no discomfort and no downtime, and taking only a half-hour per session, this is an easy lunch-time treatment. In addition, it can be used on other parts of the body than just the face and neck.
