Kid-proof your medicine cabinet NEWS CANADA Do you have kids in the house? If so, listen up. Kid-proofing your medicine cabinet is key to the health of your children and what better time to tackle this project than when you?re doing your spring cleaning? Checking your medicine cabinet regularly helps you ensure contents are stored safely and you have the right medications on hand to deal with the most common childhood illnesses. ?A top concern for kid-proofing a medicine cabinet is safe storage,? explains Tracey Phillips, director of pharmacy at Rexall. ?Always store your medication out of reach from your children in a cool, dry place such as in a large Tupperware container in a high bedroom cabinet or linen closet. Do not store medications in the fridge unless directed to do so, and keep medication out of the washroom or kitchen where heat and humidity can impact its effectiveness.? Here are some other helpful tips from Rexall to get you started: ? Avoid calling medicine candy. It is ...

How to splurge and save wisely in the kitchen NEWS CANADA With a new year upon us, it?s time for reinvention. Start fresh by injecting life and personality into the centre of your home?the kitchen. Spend the renovation budget on five key elements that will ensure both a functional and enduring space: Countertops The countertop is the focal point of the kitchen, and unfortunately shows the most wear and tear. Copper and stainless steel tops are the best investment for a longlasting solution. Their porous nature can withstand high temperatures and are stain, rust and water resistant, making them easy to clean and preserve. If your budget is tight, choose natural stone such as granite or slate for its resilience and modern aesthetic appeal. Appliances Skimping on major appliances will leave you high and dry. It?s worth investing in a reliable and durable brand that will withstand the years of heavy family use. We opted for Maytag?s new line of kitchen appliances, built with Maytag Commerc ...
