Refresh your mind, body, and life with these businesses – BC Marketplace

Goodbye 2020. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. With that crazy year almost behind us, it’s time for a bit of “out with the old, in with the new” to get 2021 started right. Here are a few local mindful businesses to help you cleanse, refresh, and generally tidy up your body and mind—and maybe even your home and career—after a tough year for everyone.

The Salt Spring Island producer makes natural, revitalizing turmeric elixirs to help boost your immune system and pick you up. They select no-GMO, fair-trade, and organic gingers, honeys, and other ingredients and press them into delicious, “straight-from-a-shot-glass or pour-over-anything fuel for your body and soul.”
