The first time I slid into these sport shoes, I

couldn’t help but sigh the same play on words

Oofos has embraced in its brand name. The

shock-absorbing foam bed in its flip flop and

pool slide styles is a godsend to runners,

skiers and even high-heel wearers who rou-

tinely put a lot of stress on their joints. The

thick foam soles make them a little fugly, but

the label’s new covered shoe is more city sav-

vy. And yet when that soft foam cradles your

arches, when your ankles and knees stop ach-

ing with every step – it’s amazing how fashion

forgiving I can be. Super lightweight, Oofos

shoes also travel well.

W

hat started out as a side hustle in founder Rachel Mielke’s Regina kitchen has become a

Canadian success story. In 2007, Mielke launched her brand Hillberg & Berk, a jewellery

collection known for accessible jewellery that comes with a side of empowerment. “We use

our brand as a catalyst for storytelling to be able to highlight issues that women have in Canada,” she

says of her many charitable partnerships that include Dress for Success Vancouver and Winnipeg’s

Health Sciences Centre Foundation. “I think that’s what’s really resonated with women.”

Mielke’s big business break came in 2008 when she appeared on CBC’sDragons’ Denand scored an

investment from fellow Saskatchewanian Brett Wilson, who remains involved in the business some

11 years later. Since then, Hillberg & Berk has gained a loyal following that includes the Queen, who

has two custom-made pieces in rotation, and the Canadian Olympic team, who sported red sparkle

earrings at the 2016 summer games in Rio de Janeiro.

In 2011, popular demand led Mielke to open her first Hillberg & Berk store, expanding beyond her

wholesale and a by-appointment client showroom. “We had so many people coming into our little

showroom that we couldn’t get any work done,” she says. Mielke has since opened stores in Alberta,

British Columbia and now Manitoba, where Hillberg & Berk’s new Winnipeg location is the brand’s

largest to date.

F

or the latest “It” ingredient in beauty,

look no further than the beehive. Hon-

ey, a long-time remedy for everything

from acne to dry skin and go-to ingredient

for natural beauty brands such as Burt’s

Bees, is creating lots of buzz.

In luxury skin care, you can find the in-

gredient in new launches from Nuxe,

which recently added a nourishing body

scrub to its Rêve de Miel collection, and

Sulwhasoo, the Korean brand that includ-

ed honey in its Clarifying Mask. For hair,

honey is bringing its reparative powers to

Briogeo’s Don’t Despair, Repair! Honey

Moisture Deep Conditioning Mask, which

comes in a bear-shaped bottle, and new-

to-Canada Hair Food’s Moisture Shampoo,

which contains manuka honey to leave

hair feeling soft. In makeup, Urban Decay’s

Naked Eyeshadow Palette recently got a

honey-inspired makeover with 12 shades

that ooze sticky-sweet warmth.

It’s well known that bees are critical to

crop pollination, a fact that has some cos-

metics companies such as LVMH’s Guer-

lain launching new initiatives to support

these essential insects. Known for its

Abeille Royale skin-care collection, which

contains honeys and royal jelly in its

creams, serums and oils, the French luxury

brand recently announced a five-year part-

nership with UNESCO on a program to

train beekeepers.
