body bliss. New Body Yogurts ($16) from Body Shop offer next-level moisture in several tropical scents—think strawberry, mango, almond milk, coconut and special-edition banana (the latter made with fruit of all shapes and sizes that won’t sell in the food industry!).

tropical treasures

candy land. Move over five-cent gummies—there’s a new sweet-tooth satisfier in town. Founded in Vancouver by Hala Hamach, Candy Fix is Canada’s first online interactive sweets boutique that lets you create and customize your own candy boxes (for special-occasion gifts or for yourself; the company also offers party favours for, say, weddings. Just pick your package, choose your candies (tropically speaking, we’re into the mango gummy bears and sour pineapple slices), add personal touches—like a customized label—et voila! Candy crushing it!
