Ever heard of Murphy’s Law? Well it seems to be firmly in place for our Calgary store location. Good ol’ Murph.

On many occasions we have been asked why we haven’t yet produced our own sunscreen or use SPF in our products. Great question, and there are a couple of reasons:
There is nothing so enjoyable after a long day of snowboarding, skiing or other alpine winter insanity as slipping into a bathtub full of Epsom salts.
