Last week, Michelle and I got a tour of a new beauty store in Inglewood, The Apothecary. This charming little shop sells natural body care products and all kinds of deliciously smelly things, and everything is done with an environmentally aware touch (they’re Bullfrog-powered).
Owner Jill Hawker carries her own lines: All Things Jill, her products for women (I’m so hooked on the honey hand lotion!); Peas in a Pod, her line for kids, Moms and Moms-to-be; and Just For Jack for men (this Tough Guy hand salve looks awesome). Harris also produces and sells TREK, products designed for the outdoors and made especially for dry Calgary conditions. All TREK products come in a tiny portable container so they’re great for hiking and camping.
Michelle and I bought honey lotion, bath foams, lip balms and the muscle massage oil (which I rubbed into my sore post-stair legs today!).
In honor of the the Apothecary’s official grand opening this weekend, they’re kindly offering a reader one awesome honey therapy gift pack (valued at $48)! You know the drill: check out the Apothecary’s web site and leave a comment below. Contest closes at midnight Thursday and we’ll announce the winner Friday morning. Good luck!
(The contest is open to anyone in Canada.)

PS – What do you think of our new look? It’s not finished yet but we couldn’t stand the old version any longer.
Looks great you 2! I use the peas in the pod brand on Lukas- it is great! Good to know a new store I can get it at!
Yes, please! We love the bum and chest bum for our little guy!
Pick me! Pick me!
Love the new look. Loved the old look too so this is even better..er!

I’m a sucker for an apothecary. “No dear, these aren’t more smelly things and lip balm, they are supplies from the apothecary”.
Thumbs up on the new look.
Really liking the new look and would REALLY love to win.
Great to have a heads up on a new place. Thanks!
New look is great — but the body text is carrying over into the sidebar on my screen.
never mind! Text is fine now – don’t know what weirdness happened the first time.
I’d love to give these products a try! I’m always looking for new places and I have recently fell in love with the Inglewood area. Also loving the new blog design!

It’s great to see new stores popping up in Inglewood, especially independent shops like this one. I love to take long baths, so this is just the place to indulge in my guilty pleasure. I can’t wait to visit.
Great refresh to the blog!
Stopped by your shop on Ladies Night! So many wonderful products! Where to begin hmmmmm!
The muscle massage oil sounds like something that should take permanent residence in my gym bag!
