Lately I am of the mindset that being outside is best. From walking an average of 30K steps a day (I love turning on Apple Music and just walking to unwind when I get busy), to trying to spend as much time in my garden as possible on my new patio furniture sets, even eating outside when I can, and escaping into nature with friends to try and get away whenever possible, I think as Canadians it’s important to have some #GoodTimesOutside.
