Meet me at the Lake

Hello friend,

Vacationing by the lake is universally appreciated. The intoxicating appeal of nature, sunshine, boating, swimming or just lounging by Vacationing by the lake is universally appreciated. The intoxicating appeal of nature, sunshine, boating, swimming or just lounging by the water draws people to “the lake” every summer. Depending on the destination, the experience can be laid back and casual or elegant and sophisticated. In this week’s issue of the newsletter we celebrate both ends of the spectrum.  

We introduce you to a female-owned swimwear brand with styles that would look right at home on a catamaran; we share a recipe for the perfect cocktail to enjoy at sunset on the dock; you can’t spend time at the lake without adequate sun protection, so we bring you a woman-owned sun care line that will keep you safe all summer; if a lakeside spa experience is your dream come true, we have good news to share; and if you need a little lake life inspiration on the daily, you will love the art of Elizabeth Lennie. Her dreamy paintings are sure to stir up memories of times at the cottage. 

Enjoy!

Sexy, sophisticated and stylish, Robin Piccone’s swimwear collection will be the talk of the lake this summer.

The women behind this Toronto distillery have successfully captured the essence of Canada in their offerings, and they have loads of awards to prove it!
