The Journey Continues: Getting Back to Hormonal Balance with PASCOFEMIN® and Pascoe Canada - Part 2

A few months ago, I started taking PASCOFEMIN®, a hormone-free product from Pascoe Canada. Like many women, I suffer from several of the common symptoms of hormonal imbalance. Hot flashes, weight gain, mood swings, and irritability are difficult to deal with. Thanks to PASCOFEMIN®, I am seeing a decrease in the severity of the symptoms, and I’m getting some more balance in my life. In this post, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on the product, and my tips on how to help keep your hormonal balance.

What I like about PASCOFEMIN® is that it incorporates a combination of homeopathic remedies to help alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal changes women encounter during menstruation or menopause.

While I have not yet experienced menopause, I deal with the symptoms associated with menstruation on a regular basis. They’re not pleasant, and I have tried many types of medication to alleviate the pain and discomfort that comes along with it.

I have tried several types of medication, and have found that some are hard on my body. I have also discovered that I am extremely sensitive to some medications, resulting in allergic reactions. I appreciate that PASCOFEMIN® has no known side effects, and I can take it in combination with other medications.

Restoring balance is a process that takes time. Here are ways that the homeopathics found in PASCOFEMIN® can help to restore balance naturally:

Agnus castus

Regulates

• Aids with PMS
• Helps with periods that are too short/too light
• Balances out mood swings and nervousness

Pulsatilla

Harmonizes

• Relieves mood swings
• Helps with all sorts of menstrual problems

Lilium tigrinum

Balances

• Alleviates nervous irritability
• Helps with menstrual problems
• Relieves symptoms of menopause

Cimicifuga

Relieves

• Relieves period pain cramps
• Helps with problems during pregnancy, menstruation, and menopause
• Soothes nervous excitation and mood swings

Consider the following suggestions to regain harmony into your life, and enjoying life to the fullest:

• Keep emotional balance in your life
• Remain active during your period
• Maintain harmony with your partner

As I mentioned earlier, I deal with symptoms on a regular basis with my period. Here is my personal list of tips that have effectively helped me cope with symptoms during menstruation:

1. Avoid sweet and salty foods where possible. Those cravings are strong, but these types of foods add to bloating, water retention, and weight gain during my period.
2. Where possible, stay away from foods that are high in fat. High fat foods have a strong influence on hormonal activity in your body. Eating a diet that is low in saturated fats helps to reduce excess estrogen levels. Avoid foods like fatty cuts of beef, whole-milk dairy products, sausages and burgers. Switch to fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish and lean cuts of beef and poultry instead.
3. Drink plenty of water. This will help to flush out toxins while keeping you hydrated.
4. Reduce your caffeine intake. Too much caffeine can make you irritable, and increase mood swings. Switch to chamomile, peppermint, or your favourite herbal tea instead. I find herbal tea to be calming, especially chamomile.
5. Try to remain active. Keep the blood circulating, and your heart rate up. A 20-30-minute walk helps me to stay away from snacking and watching TV. It also helps to clear your head when you feel moody and irritable.
6. Make sure to get enough sleep at night. Rest is great for the body, mind and soul.
7. Add iron-rich foods to your diet, to compensate for the blood you lose during your cycle. Poultry, red meat, seafood (salmon), beans, green leafy vegetables (spinach), yogurt and dried fruit like raisins and apricots.

Trying to maintain hormonal balance in your life takes time, and goes beyond medication. Adjusting your diet, staying active, and finding balance in your life emotionally are huge parts of the puzzle. On a personal level, this is something that I have struggled with for a long time. I am constantly adjusting on my journey to find balance, both hormonally and emotionally. It’s not easy, and it takes time, but the benefit is worth it long-term.

I look forward to sharing my final thoughts on PASCOFEMIN® in the third installment for this series. Ladies, I would love to hear how you deal with hormonal balance. Do you have any tips to share on coping with menstruation and menopause? You’re not alone on this journey!

Getting Back to Hormonal Balance with PASCOFEMIN® and Pascoe Canada - Part 1

I’m so excited to write a series of blog posts geared towards the ladies! Like many women, I deal with symptoms that make my body feel out of balance. We endure PMS cramps, weight gain, crazy mood swings, headaches, and difficulty focusing on tasks. As I get older, I have made a conscious effort to avoid prescription and over the counter medications where possible. However, I know that there are times when you need something to help regain the balance desperately needed to get through the day. I’m happy to say that I have found something great in the form of PASCOFEMIN®, a product from Pascoe Canada.

What I love about PASCOFEMIN® is that it contains a combination of homeopathic remedies designed to safely and effectively relieve symptoms related to hormonal changes like menstruation or menopause. It comes in the form of a tablet (blister-packed, and alcohol-free), or oral drops that are lactose-free. There are no known side effects, and can be used for girls aged 12 and older.

For women who are wondering what the signs of hormonal imbalance are, here are the symptoms most women deal with on a regular basis:

Menopause:

• Hot flashes and/or night sweats
• Weight gain
• Mood swings
• Sleep disruption
• Change in concentration
• Headaches/migraines

Menstrual cycle:

• Heavy or prolonged bleeding
• Bloating or constipation
• Irregular cycles
• Bleeding between cycles
• Painful, crampy periods (dysmenorrhea)

I have no doubt that most women have experience at least a few of these symptoms throughout their lives. Trust me, you’re not alone. I deal with these on a regular basis, and have frequently turned to medication prescribed by my doctor. The problem was that I didn’t enjoy relying on a prescription to make me feel better, and I worried that I might become dependant on them long-term.

In addition to dealing with a shift in hormonal balance, I am currently suffering from a painful foot injury. I received prescriptions for several medications, and learned quickly that combining the two together gave me a terrible allergic reaction! As a result, I need to be mindful about the types of medications I use. Thankfully, PASCOFEMIN® is safe to use, with no known side effects or drug interactions.

I started taking PASCOFEMIN® this summer, and have already noticed a difference in how my body reacts to PMS, and my monthly menstrual cycle. My monthly cramps are not as severe, which is great. I used to have agonizing back and leg pain for 2-3 days each month! My headaches and mood swings are minimal, which is a huge plus. Anyone who deals with PMS on a regular basis knows that the symptoms can make you feel miserable!

Finding a balance for your hormones isn’t an easy task, and it doesn’t take much for women to deal with hormonal imbalance during their lifetime. Toxins like Xenoestrogens may play a key role in hormonal dysfunction. Bisphenol A is a type of xenoestrogen, and can be found in plastic bottles and the lining of aluminum cans. Toxins can disrupt the normal functions of both male and female hormonal systems.

For people who want to treat their hormonal disorders, consider trying a detox. A homeopathic detoxification is an effective way to remove toxins without experiencing side effects. Make sure to drink plenty of water, and keep the bowels moving while detoxifying your body. This will help you get the best results from your detox.

Alkalinizing your body is another way to help restore hormonal balance. This involves removing acids that are stuck in the connective tissue in your body. If enough acids build up in your body to cause a problem, only a strong alkalinizing formula containing bicarbonate minerals such as calcium carbonate and potassium bicarbonate can be strong enough to eliminate toxins.

The use of homeopathic remedies is an alternative way of removing toxins. Several of these remedies have been shown to have great effects on the physical symptoms of menopause (i.e. hot flashes, weight gain, and headaches), and PMS (migraines, abdominal pain, and bloating). Look for homeopathics such as chastetree (Vitexx agnus castus), black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemose), unicorn root (Alteris farinose), and pulsatilla. These help to rebalance the female hormonal system.

Restoring hormonal balance is important for women to regain harmony into their lives. Here are a few ways that you can help yourself find the balance your body needs:

1.       Decrease stress

2.       Reduce toxin intake

3.       Maintain a healthy lifestyle

Many of these natural remedies take time to re-regulate your body. Keep in mind that it will take at least one month before you start to notice relief from the symptoms you experience.

Getting back to hormonal order takes time, and can’t be solved overnight. My journey with PASCOFEMIN® started a few months ago, and I’m starting to see changes in my body and a decrease in symptoms. I look forward to sharing an update in my next post, and offering tips on how you can recharge and rebalance your body, and deal with the symptoms you may encounter.

Q&A With Myles Hass of Magic Men Live!

I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Myles Hass, the host of the fabulous Magic Men Live! show. Magic Men Live! is the first live stage production to bring the combined phenomena of Magic Mike, Fifty Shades of Grey and other female-focused erotic entertainment to life. Magic Men Live! is now in its fifth year, completing a year of performing over 140 shows, and entertaining over 100,000 people! The tour had six dates in Canada, and has moved on to fire up crowds of women in the US! Hope you enjoy getting to know more about Myles and Magic Mike Live! as much as I did.

Q:  I would love to know how the tour became a reality! How did you come up with the concept, and what inspired you to create the Magic Men Live! tour?

A: We’re very proud of what the tour has become and excited about the direction it’s going! We started this show from nothing and worked for almost 7 years to make it the production that it is today. Patience and persistence goes a long way!

Q:  How did you get started in this type of industry?

A: I have an uncle that’s been in the industry since 1989! When I finished high school, I worked for him as an office manager and he taught me the ropes of the adult party entertainment world.

Q:  How long is the tour? How many dates/cities? Do you plan to take the tour outside of North America?

A: Our current tour is 4 weeks with almost 20 shows and we plan on doing a lot more tours this year. Last year we did about 150 shows in over 100 different cities in the states. This is our first time in Canada and our first time out of the United States, so you can say that we’re getting our feet wet with international touring and definitely hoping to bring our show to as many other countries as we can around the world!

Q: What can people who will be attending the show look forward to? Is it similar to what we have seen in the Magic Mike movies?

A: Our show is all about giving women a chance to truly let loose, have fun and enjoy a show that was made just for them. Our show has so many different elements to it, that no matter what you’re into you’re guaranteed to find something you love! But be warned: This is a very high energy and HANDS ON experience! So come ready!

Q: How racy/spicy is the show? I love a hot girl's night out! Does it get pretty crazy during the performances?

A: The show definitely has some spice to it! Without giving away anything, I can say that we definitely push the envelope as far as we’re allowed to and at the same time make sure we keep it tasteful and fun for the audience.  

Q: Are the men very interactive with the audience?

A: Definitely. Almost every segment involves some kind of audience participation. There are even segments when all the performers are in audience!

Q: What is the audition process like for the men in the show?

A: Our show came together very organically and we’ve never held an audition. Several of us have known each other for many years. I think we got very lucky to have the unique and diverse group that we have. We’ve become a close group of friends with a strong purpose that we love. And that of course, is putting a smile on our fan’s faces. J

Q: Has anyone in your family come to a show? Your mom/aunt/grandmother? Did they enjoy the show??

A: Yes! Aunts, cousins, and both of my sisters have come a number of times! They loved it! Still waiting for the day to get my mom out to it.

Q:  Are you and the other performers very interactive with the fans? Can they reach out to you on social media, or through a fan club?

A: Absolutely! We love interacting with our fans. Fans can reach us on Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter or Facebook! @MagicMenLive

Q: Do you have advice for anyone interested in pursuing a career in this type of industry?

A: My advice would be that your performing and purpose should be about serving the fans, not your ego. It’s all about showing them a good time and giving them a night out they deserve. That shift in mentality makes a big difference! 

I was lucky enough to be in the audience when the Magic Men Live! tour made a stop in Kitchener. Let me tell you, this show is HOT! I was told to expect a fun girl's night out, and I was not disappointed. The performances were incredibly entertaining, interactive, and worked the crowd into a frenzy!

I ended up on stage during one of the performances (sorry, no pictures of my up close and personal moment were taken!), and could feel my heart pounding in my throat in anticipation of what was to come. The men are complete professionals, and know how to work the crowd on and off the stage.

If you have the opportunity to see this show, don't miss it! Magic Men Live! is a sinfully wonderful night out for ladies of all ages. For my US followers, you can check out the tour dates to find a show near you.

My Journey with Pascoe Canada - Part Three

Before I started on my journey with Pascoe Canada, I was exhausted! Sleep was something I craved, I felt restless, and my moods were all over the map. I wondered if I could ever get myself back on track with regular sleep patterns. I was excited for a positive change, and Pascoflair was the perfect opportunity to get back to natural sleep. In my final post for this series, I'm happy to share my thoughts on the product, who I would recommend this to, and where you can find Pascoflair to try yourself.

I have been using Pascoflair for five weeks, and have already seen huge changes in several ways. I am sleeping more soundly, and I fall asleep faster than ever before. I’m not sleeping 8-10 hours a night, but my quality of sleep has greatly improved, which means a lot to me. I can get back to sleep quickly if I wake up in the middle of the night.

As a light sleeper, I always struggled with going back to sleep in the past. Throw in stress and a restless mind, and it potentially leads to a night of tossing and turning! Thankfully, I haven’t dealt with much of this since taking Pascoflair.

If you haven’t been reading my posts about Pascoflair, this amazing product consists of a high-dose herbal Passionflower (425 mg) that is traditionally used in herbal medicine. It helps to relieve symptoms of sleeplessness, stress and restlessness, and starts to work within 30 minutes of taking the pill! I take it first thing in the morning, and 30 minutes before I go to sleep. It’s simple, and fits easily into my daily routine.

One of the great improvements I have seen is on my mood. I deal with a lot of stress, and juggle a very busy schedule. I’m the first to admit that at times, it can be difficult to be cheerful and calm 24/7. Pascoflair has honestly helped to keep me grounded and calm. I’m sure getting more rest has helped, and the combination of both has benefitted me more than I can possibly write about.

Another huge change I noticed is that I have more energy since I started taking Pascoflair. With the added energy, I have tackled several projects that took up a great deal of my time and effort. Having more energy has helped me get more accomplished, get outside for workouts, and be more productive.

We have had some dark and gloomy days lately, coupled with chilly weather. It can be draining and unmotivating, but thankfully, I still managed to keep myself active and motivated!

Incorporating Pascoflair into my routine has helped me get back to natural sleep, but there are other ways to get a better night of rest. Here are a few tips to help you get quality rest, and fall asleep faster:

1.      Power down and remove distractions from your nightly routine that can overstimulate your brain, and keep you up late! Walk away from your laptop, smartphone, and TV a few hours before bedtime. For social media lovers like myself, this is difficult, but it’s amazing how relaxing it is to not have several screens to distract you from much needed rest for your body and mind.

2.      Unwind with a relaxing bath and music after dinner. Again, I speak for myself, but having a bubble bath, a great book or magazine, and soft music is incredibly relaxing. Removing the stress and craziness of a busy day is the perfect way to get ready for bedtime.

3.      Limit your caffeine intake to 1-2 cups of coffee per day, and avoid caffeine after 2:00 PM. Caffeine takes a while to wear off, and can affect your sleep patterns. Where possible, limit your caffeine consumption to the morning hours and early afternoon at the latest.

4.     Try to eat several smaller meals throughout the day, and cut off your food intake by 7:00 PM at the latest. The temptation to snack during your evening TV programs is huge, but you’ll feel it when you struggle with sleep at night. The combination of poor sleep patterns and late night eating can cause weight gain!

I have seen how Pascoflair has had a positive impact on my health and well-being. Going from being exhausted and frustrated to rested and cheerful is the best feeling, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. For anyone who is dealing with sleep issues or stress, I recommend that you try this product. It’s been a total gamechanger for me!

My Journey With Pascoflair and Pascoe Canada - Part Two

A few weeks ago I started my Pascoflair journey with Pascoe Canada. As I mentioned in my previous post, my sleep patterns are terrible. Getting 8-10 hours of sleep is something that happens only when I'm sick! I wanted to try Pascoflair to see if I could get some much needed rest, and ease up on my stress and restlessness. Was I going to see results quickly? Could this product help me fall asleep easier? Keep reading to find out!

The day I received my package, I took my first Pascoflair pill after dinner. I was cautiously optimistic, and resigned to the fact that I might have to wait to see results. Within 30 minutes, I was pleasantly surprised at how relaxed I felt! My life is busy, and I deal with a lot of stress. I know this contributes to my erratic sleep patterns, because I find hard to turn off and unwind easily after a long day.

The best way to describe how I felt was that it's like a weight had physically been removed from my shoulders. As a caregiver, there isn't a dollar amount I can put on a feeling like that, It's priceless.

I loved how calm I felt after taking Pascoflair. This is the Passionflower element in the product that starts working within 30 minutes to calm the brain. I knew, however, that the true test for me would be how Pascoflair would affect my sleep patterns. Anyone suffering from sleep deprivation and restlessness knows it's hard to be alert, cheerful and productive after a night of tossing and turning.

After taking Pascoflair, I was falling asleep faster than I ever did before. I'm not getting 8-10 hours of sleep, but after taking the pills twice a day as directed for two weeks, my quality of rest has improved, and I'm sleeping longer than before. If I do wake up, I am able to get back to sleep easier. This is a huge accomplishment for me.

It's still early in the journey, but I'm happy with the path that I am on to getting back to natural sleep. I'm feeling calmer, my rest is more productive, and I'm not waking up feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. I'm a cheerful person by nature, but I felt like I was in  a rut for a while. Pascoflair has helped me find my groove again, and it's a great feeling.

I don't take any product without doing my research and homework. Personally, I try to take as few prescription medications and over the counter products as possible. Of course, there are times when we desperately need to rely on special medications when we're sick. In those instances, I am definitely going to do what's necessary to get rid of my symptoms.

Knowing this is a natural health product is a definite bonus for me. What I love about Pascoflair is that there is no potential for dependency, and it has no potential toxic effects for my body. I feel safe taking it, even when I'm using another type of medication when necessary.

I never knew how lack of sleep could have such a profound affect on me until I started suffering from terrible sleep patterns! Proper rest is key to a positive and productive day. Lack of sleep can lead to impaired memory, poor concentration, and low energy that affects your ability to perform daily tasks. I have been there, and it's a terrible feeling. 

I know I'm not the only person who struggles with getting some quality rest at night. For those who are fighting the sleep battle, here are some helpful tips to get a better night of sleep:

1. Bring structure to your daily routine, and plan time to relax. Recharge your body and mind with quality rest.
2. Delegate responsibility. I know it's hard, because I struggle with it, too! Shifting responsibilities to others helps to remove stress and pressure off yourself.
3. Participate in outdoor activities. Going outside for a walk, run, hike, or whatever your favourite activity is helps you tune out and focus on your health and well-being!
4. Train yourself to relax. It's easier said than done, but taking the time to chill out during a busy day is a great way to decompress and stay calm.
5. When necessary, accept therapeutic help. If you can't keep your anxiety and stress in check, or have trouble sleeping, there are people who can help. You're not alone, and it's OK to admit that you need help getting back on track.

I'm on my way to getting back on track to better sleep, but my journey is far from over. How do you deal with lack of sleep? Do you have a tried and true way of getting to sleep? I would love to hear your thoughts and tips! Stay tuned for my next update, when I share my final thoughts on my Pascoflair journey. Hope you all have a great sleep, and sweet dreams!

My Pascoflair Journey with Pascoe Canada - Part One

One of the things I struggle with on a regular basis is sleep deprivation, and terrible sleep patterns. As a working woman and caregiver who juggles a busy schedule, I deal with many challenges. One major hurdle is trying to get a good night's sleep! Having to be on and alert most of the time means my stress level increases, sleep patterns fall low, and restlessness kicks in. I have tried sleep aid products in the past, but none were effective. When Pascoe Canada reached out to me to try Pascoflair, I jumped at the opportunity to see if I could get a better night of sleep! Timing is everything, and in this case, it was perfection.

Pascoe Canada is the Canadian division of Pascoe, an international laboratory and natural pharmaceutical company based in Germany. All of the products are made in Germany, and approved by Health Canada. A world leader in natural medicine, Pascoe has manufactured homeopathic and phytotherapeutic products for over a century.

What exactly is Pascoflair? It is a high-dose herbal Passionflower (425 mg) that is traditionally used in herbal medicine (in cases of restlessness or insomnia, due to mental stress.) It starts to work within 30 minutes to relieve symptoms such as sleeplessness, stress, and restlessness.

For someone who deals with these symptoms on a daily basis, Pascoflair is definitely worth trying. I try to take as few prescription and over the counter medications as possible, and used to visit a naturopath on a regular basis in the past. If there is a way of treating symptoms effectively using natural medicine, I'm always going to try it.

You might be wondering what benefit there is to taking Pascoflair, over other sleep aid products you can get in stores, or prescribed by a doctor. What I love and appreciate about Pascoflair is that it is a natural health product authorized for sale by Health Canada. The Passionflower ingredient starts working quickly to calm the brain, and improves sleep onset due to stress. You won't get the 'hangover effect' that you might feel from taking a sleeping pill, or liquid sleep aid. I tried a sleeping pill once, and I'll never forget how drained I felt afterwards. It was like drinking several glasses of wine! I haven't tried any over the counter sleep aids since.

I will be on my own Pascoflair journey for the next two months, and look forward to sharing my progress on social media as part of a three-part series. I'll update readers on my journey, my thoughts on the product, what improvements I have/have not seen, and tips that can help others get the rest they need at night.

Sleep is something we all need to regenerate our bodies and minds. For many people, the struggle to get a good night's rest is very real. My battle with sleep has been rough, and I know there are many other people who face the same problem. How do you deal with sleep issues? I would love to hear your thoughts, tips, or suggestions in the comments below.

Summer Indulgences and Living the 4K Life With Rogers!

 

Summer is my favourite season and time of year! There are so many wonderful things to experience during the summer months. No matter what your interests may be, there is always something to see, do, and explore. Summertime indulgences are by far some of the greatest! I'm happy to share some of my favourites with you.

Being born at the end of June, I am a summer baby, and love everything that comes with our fabulous summer weather. There is nothing better than taking a road trip to the beach, or sitting on a patio for dinner and drinks with friends.

One of my favourite summertime indulgences is day trips to the beach! Living in Kitchener, the closest beach in my part of Ontario is Grand Bend. This gem is only a 90 minute drive from Kitchener, and is the perfect day trip for people of all ages.

Whether you like to soak up the sun on the beach, stroll up the main street to shop, or enjoy patio time at one of the local restaurants, Grand Bend is a people watching paradise! I love to do all of the above. Taking a break from playing on the beach with some shopping, or drinks on a patio with friends are a few of my favourite things. It's the perfect indulgence on a hot summer day!

Another thing I love to do in the summertime is to enjoy some downtime and take a trip! Whether it's off to Las Vegas for my birthday, or a road trip to wine country in Niagara-on-the-Lake, taking the time to unplug, unwind and recharge my internal battery is extremely important. Every year, I book time during the summer months to get away from the daily grind and my busy schedule to enjoy some fun in the sun.

If you love travelling across the border, either in the US or internationally, Rogers has an amazing plan called Roam Like Home. This is a great option to look into if you are planning to make calls, and stay active using the Internet or social media. This has saved me tons of money while travelling outside of the country!

You don't have to break the bank to have a fun vacation. Staying within Canada (and Ontario), or even a staycation can be enjoyable, and incredibly therapeutic! Taking the time to indulge in some much needed me time is as good for the body and mind as it is for your soul. What are your favourite vacation destinations? I would love to hear about your vacation stories!

The summer season also brings great sports and sporting events to watch. The Rio 2016 Summer Olympics are in full swing  in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and there is nothing like watching athletes compete for their countries, and for Olympic glory.

If you follow me on social media, you know I talk about sports a LOT! I adore football, baseball, tennis,  and swimming, and have been screaming at my Samsung 4K TV since the competitions began. I love that Rogers is offering select coverage of the Rio Games in 4K on CBC, SportsNet, and SportsNet1!

Of course, there are many others exciting sports to watch this summer. The Toronto Blue Jays are on fire, and whether I'm watching at the Rogers Centre or at home on TV, it's been amazing to watch the boys in blue battle their way up the American League MLB standings. What's summer without the Toronto Blue Jays baseball games?

Recently, I was invited by Rogers to join some of people in the #RogersSI program and watch a few very exciting Quarterfinal matches at the Rogers Cup in Toronto. Tennis is a lot of fun to watch on TV, but to watch a match live and feel the energy from the crowd is contagious! I had never been to the Rogers Cup before, and seeing Novak Djokovic and Milos Raonic compete live was a huge thrill. The weather was perfect, and the fans were out in full force to cheer on their favourites. Definitely something to check out in the future if you're a tennis fan.

 

If you're not able to attend sporting events live, you can catch all of the action on television! I have had the pleasure of enjoying the Samsung SUHD 4H TV and Rogers NextBox 4K Cable Box for the past four months, and being able to watch The Toronto Blue Jays home games in 4K has been incredible. Here are a few of my favourite features:

• Cinematic Picture Quality - The Samsung 4K SUHD TV immerses you deeper into the action with lifelike colours and stunning details, bringing cinematic picture quality to your home.
• Immersive Content - The Samsung 4K SUHD TV provides access to Rogers live sports broadcasting in 4K with HDR, including this season's Blue Jays games, with remarkable picture quality and exceptional design.

To celebrate one of my favourite indulgences, Rogers has generously offered one of my lucky readers the chance to win an amazing Toronto Blue Jays prize package, valued at $150! The package will include some amazing Jays gear you can wear, as you cheer on the boys in blue!

All you need to do is compete the entries below. At the very least, let me what your favourite summer indulgences are by leaving a comment on this post. Good Luck!

I hope you love your summer indulgences as much as I enjoy mine. Enjoy the rest of the summer weather while it's here!
