Labour Day is a wistful long weekend.\u00a0 It is summer\u2019s last hurrah, and our last chance for a little R&R before the school year starts and work gets back into full swing.\u00a0 Whether you are going to a socially distanced backyard barbeque or heading up to your cabin or cottage to enjoy the last long weekend of summer, here are our must haves:<\/p>\n

For Hot Days<\/h3>\n

If you are going for a run or just lounging around the cottage on a hot day, this UA Streaker Racer Tank from Under Armour is perfect.\u00a0 The light colour won\u2019t attract the heat.\u00a0 If the weather is hot and humid, the soft fabric wicks away sweat.<\/p>\n

For Cool Evenings<\/h3>\n

The last long weekend of summer may mean chilly nights.\u00a0 If you are looking for something cozy, but not ready for a hoodie, Under Armour\u2019s Women’s UA Hustle Fleece Crew top is perfect.\u00a0 It comes in six different colours (this bright red is our favourite).\u00a0 We love the unfinished hem with side split and the kangaroo pocket.\u00a0 It has style but is still warm and casual.<\/p>\n

For Hikes<\/h3>\n

Whether you are walking around the city or hiking some trails, Ecco\u2019s Zipflew W Slip-On is the shoe for you.\u00a0 It can handle weather and terrain and is still fashionable enough to go with your favourite casual outfit.<\/p>\n

For The Beach and More<\/h3>\n

Traditional flip flops aren\u2019t great for walking in because they don\u2019t offer any arch support or heel cushioning.\u00a0 That doesn\u2019t mean that you have to give them up \u2013 FitFlops give you the look and feel of the flip flops that you love, but are much better for your feet.\u00a0 They use biomechanics to ensure the right fit, comfort and alignment for your feet and come in many different styles.<\/p>\n

Sitting By the Dock (Or In Your Backyard)<\/h3>\n

A Refreshing Adult Beverage<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are looking for a cool, refreshing adult beverage that isn\u2019t too sweet, try Bangarang\u2019s Hard Seltzers.\u00a0 Bangarang is a clear, low calorie and low sugar beverage available in three refreshing, all natural fruit flavours: Mango, Lemon-Lime, and Blue Raspberry.\u00a0 Our favourite was the Blue Raspberry \u2013 it has just a hint of flavour and is a little different.\"Long<\/p>\n

A Cooler<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keep your beverages cold whether your going out on a boat, sitting on the dock or going to the beach with Yeti\u2019s Hopper M30 Soft Cooler.\u00a0 It\u2019s lighter than a hard cooler and easier to take on day trips.\u00a0 The bag has HydroShield Technology \u2013 to create a leak resistant seal.<\/p>\n

A Tasty Snack<\/b><\/p>\n

Skinny Pop is the great pick if you are a popcorn lover.\u00a0 There are seven different flavours to choose from.\u00a0 Our favourite, The Original has just 3 ingredients, popcorn, sunflower oil and salt \u2013 there is nothing artificial about it. The guilt-free snack is just 39 calories per cup and a good source of fibre.<\/p>\n
