Vancouver Best hand made organic soap

Looking for handmade soap that skips the synthetic stuff in favour of natural ingredients?

Stock up for your own enjoyment, or wrap up a sweetly scented gift package.

Why use organic soap ?

organic

Many people have sensitive skin that doesn’t respond well to chemically laden soap.

By using organic soap, you might be able to avoid, or at least reduce, the skin problems that are caused by irritating chemical

ingredients.

Organic soap contains ingredients that are not, and have not been produced with, herbicides, chemical fertilizers.

It’s invaluable for those who suffer from chemical sensitivities.

Where you can find hand made organic soap ?

店内もクリーン、キュートな雰囲気なのでお買い物するのがより楽しくなりますね!

洗濯洗剤、掃除に使う洗剤、ボディソープ、洗顔ソープも置いてあり全部オーガニック;)

そもそもオーガニックって何?て思う方もいますよね。

オーガニック

〈有機の〉という意味で,通常は農薬や化学肥料を使わず有機肥料によって生産された農産物のことを言います!

普段私たちが使っている石鹸の原油が石油など化学物質がたくさん含まれておりお肌が悲鳴をあげているんです。

バンクーバーにはオーガニックソープ専門店などオーガニックのお店が多いので手に入りやすいですね

 

お値段は少し高めですが、健康のことを考えたら出す価値はありますね!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Starting a New Life in Canada!

Starting a New Life in Canada!

カナダ

Canada might be very different from your home country, which means there is a great deal to learn and explore here. I want to talk about  important things.

The landscapes and climate of Canada

四季

Canada is the second largest country on the earth, and in most places Canada has four distinct seasons; spring summer fall and winter

Summers in Vancouver can be hot, but are usually pretty mild.

Day time temperatures in Vancouver range between 20 and 30 degree celsius.

While Vancouver is rather dry in the summer, the provinces of Ontario and Quebec are extremely humid. So Toronto feels much hotter than Vancouver in the summer! The fall, spring and winter is much, much rainier in Vancouver and you have to be prepared to bring your umbrella! Ontario and Quebec has beautiful fall colours and is much cooler, and much drier than Vancouver in the fall.

Languages of Canada

download

Canada is a multi-cultural country, and that means it has as many cultures and languages as it does climates!

 languages of Canada are French and English.

Before coming to Canada you definitely need to study English to start your new life. 

And if you plan on moving to Quebec, the Ottawa area, or even Nova Scotia then you should probably learn some French too!

Strong English or French language skills are important for the following reasons;

  • Getting a good job
  • Meeting and interacting with interesting people
  • Getting your Canadian citizenship
