Thirst Trap: Why Blume’s SuperBelly Is the Drink of the Season

Stay Cool, Hydrated, and (Ahem) Regular This Summer
feat. Blume’s SuperBelly Hydration Powders, because your gut deserves good vibes too

Ah, summer. That glorious stretch of sunshine, patio spritzes, and "why am I sweating in places I didn’t know could sweat?" energy. While we’re all chasing golden hour and pretending bug spray is a natural perfume, one thing often slips through the (sun-kissed) cracks: hydration.

Yes, water is great. Essential, even. But let’s be honest—sometimes the whole “just drink more water” thing feels… boring. Like, we get it. Water is the Taylor Swift of beverages. But even Tay remixes her hits. That’s where Blume SuperBelly Hydration Powder comes in—your gut’s new summer crush.

So, what is it?

Picture this: four fabulous flavours—Mango Passionfruit, Strawberry Hibiscus, Lemon Ginger, and Acai Pomegranate—packed into cute little tubes that are basically wellness confetti for your water bottle. These blends taste amazing and come with bonus benefits, like supporting gut health and keeping things, shall we say, moving along nicely.

In short: they hydrate you and help keep your digestion drama-free. Who knew hydration could come with a side of sass?

Why not just drink water?

You can! We love a classic. If straight-up H2O is your summer vibe, by all means, sip away, hydration queen. But if you’re looking to zhuzh things up and add a little sparkle to your Stanley (or whatever cute tumbler you're toting), SuperBelly is the move. It's flavourful, refreshing, and free of the sneaky sugars found in so many hydration mixes on the market.

Gut health: the trend we didn’t know we needed

In case you missed it, gut health is having a moment—and not just on TikTok. More research is showing that a happy gut means better immunity, mood balance, and energy. SuperBelly helps you support your insides while keeping your outsides glowing in the summer sun. And let’s face it, nothing ruins a beach day like feeling bloated and blah.

How to make hydration cute:

• Toss a few SuperBelly tubes into your bag for on-the-go sippin’

• Mix and match flavours for a hydrating flight (yes, that’s a thing now)

• Add ice, fresh mint, or fruit for spa-level vibes

• Brag to your friends about your regularity (or don’t—we support discretion)

So whether you're lounging lakeside, strolling Broadway and supporting local or just trying to stay conscious during a mid-July heatwave, remember: hydration doesn’t have to be boring. It can be bold, berry-flavoured, and gut-lovingly good.

Shop all 4 flavours of Blume SuperBelly in-store or online now at Wren.
Your water bottle (and your digestive system) will thank you.

Featured Vendor of the Month: Isla Rae Jewelry

Jewelry with Heart, Healing, and Hope

This June, we’re honoured to shine a spotlight on a vendor who holds a very special place in our hearts—Isla Rae Jewelry, a handmade jewelry line rooted in resilience, purpose, and compassion.

Created by my dear friend Leanne, Isla Rae is more than just beautiful accessories—it’s a deeply personal expression of healing and strength. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted to serve as a symbol of empowerment, direction, and grounding. Whether worn as a daily reminder of perseverance or gifted to a loved one facing difficult times, Isla Rae jewelry is designed to offer more than adornment—it’s a companion in your journey.

Jewelry That Speaks to the Soul

Leanne’s path to creating Isla Rae began in the quiet, stormy corners of her own mental health journey. Out of her struggle, she found a way to bring light not only to herself, but to others walking a similar path. Her designs are intentionally symbolic—tiny anchors of hope meant to remind the wearer that they’re not alone, that strength comes in many forms, and that beauty can be found even in the hard chapters.

Each necklace, bracelet, and ring in the Isla Rae collection tells a story of resilience. There’s gentleness in the details and power in the message—making every piece feel like a meaningful keepsake.

Giving Back with Purpose

Leanne’s commitment to mental health doesn’t stop at her studio table. A portion of Isla Rae Jewelry’s proceeds is donated to mental health and suicide prevention initiatives, supporting communities and individuals who need it most.

Beyond that, Leanne generously gives her time and talent to teach jewelry making as a form of healing in mental health wards—offering creative expression, connection, and calm to those in crisis. Her work isn’t just inspirational; it’s transformational.

More Than a Brand—A Movement

Like so many of the makers we feature at Wren, Isla Rae Jewelry is not just a product—it’s a purpose. Every piece is a wearable reminder that strength looks different for everyone, that beauty often emerges from brokenness, and that healing is a journey worth celebrating.

We’re so proud to carry Leanne’s line in our boutique, and to support the important work she’s doing in our wider community.

In-store at Wren or online at wreninspiredlife.com, we invite you to discover Isla Rae Jewelry—and maybe find a little piece of encouragement that speaks to your own story.

Pride Month at Wren: 🌈 Come out. Come in. Come soak in our best-selling bath salts.

Pride Is Joy. Pride Is Power. Pride Belongs Here.

As we welcome June tomorrow, we also welcome Pride Month—a time to honour, uplift, and stand with the 2SLGBTQ+ community in all its beauty, strength, and diversity.

And let’s be honest: it’s 2025, and while we’ve made progress, we still have work to do.

Yes—Canada is considered one of the safest places for LGBTQ+ folks.
Yes—there are wins worth celebrating.
But behind the happy rainbows are still too many stories of hurt:
People who can’t come out in certain circles, children who hide who they are, people who feel unsafe at work. People who are told—implicitly or explicitly—that their identity is “too much.”

And it’s heartbreaking. It’s infuriating. It’s exhausting.
Because being queer shouldn’t be political.
It shouldn’t be dangerous.
It shouldn’t be up for debate or dissecting.

It should just be human.

Pride isn’t only about flags and parades (though we love both).
It’s about visibility, safety, joy, and resistance. It’s about saying: “You belong. Fully. Exactly as you are.”

At Wren, being an ally isn’t a campaign or a checkbox—it’s part of our brand value. We care deeply about creating a space where kindness is a given and everyone feels seen.

So, here’s where we stand:

Hate has no home here.
Not in our store. Not in our comments. Not in our culture.

We don’t care who you love, how you dress, or what your pronouns are (though we’d love to know them so that we can greet you properly!).
We care that you feel safe.
We care that you feel welcome.
We care that you feel celebrated.

Wren is a space for humans and honorary humans alike (dogs, cats, birds, that pigeon who keeps showing up outside the shop, please take caution and look up before walking through the door). If you’re a good soul seeking intentional living, good vibes, and maybe some candles and bath soaks to elevate your self-care ritual, you belong here.

We’re not just okay with who you are.
We’re celebrating it.
We’re honouring it.
We’re fighting alongside you for it.

Because you deserve community. You deserve joy. You deserve to take up space without fear—and if you want to party with bath bombs, we’ll bring the bubbles.

This Pride Month—and every month—we’re standing with our 2SLGBTQ+ community.
Not because it’s trendy.
Not because it’s expected.
But because being an ally to another human being should never be optional.

Love is love.
Identity is sacred.
And everyone deserves to exist safely, joyfully, and fully.

Let’s make space for joy. Let’s celebrate the people we love and the ones we haven’t had the pleasure of getting to know yet.

Happy Pride!

Rub-A-Dub-Dub, I Live In My Tub

(And honestly? I recommend you do too.)

Let me be clear: I don’t bathe to get clean.
I bathe to survive.
Emotionally. Spiritually. Mentally.
Also, my back hurts and I’m tired. Always.

Bathing is my sacred ritual.
A daily act of self-care so essential, it’s borderline non-negotiable. My family knows: If Mom’s in the tub, leave her alone unless someone is bleeding, unconscious, or there’s wine involved.

For me, bathing is the ultimate reset button.
It’s where I soothe my perimenopausal bones, process my chaotic thoughts, and pretend I live in a luxury spa and not a house with 14 heartbeats and a mysterious sticky spot on every surface.

But here’s the thing: a great bath requires great product.
And I’m not talking about a sad squirt of mystery bubbles from a questionable bottle.

Enter the Bath Queens: Barefoot Venus, Bathorium, Bath Poetry & The Tofino Hobbyist

💛 Barefoot Venus Mustard Bath – The Cult Classic

You know it. You love it. It’s our #1 best-seller and for good reason.
This soak smells divine. The most common comment we hear is “it smells SO good in this store, what is that?” It’s the mustard bath…seriously—but don’t let the luxurious scent fool you.
It’s got serious healing powers.
Yes, I said mustard.
Yes, like the stuff your grandma used to smear on you when you were sick like some kind of hot-dog-themed home remedy.

Now? You get all the detoxifying, decongesting benefits without the mess.
Spearmint, eucalyptus, and wintergreen team up to clear your sinuses while magnesium swoops in like a tiny spa therapist to soothe your sore muscles.
Even Jillian Harris is obsessed—and that woman has excellent taste and glowing skin. Coincidence? I think not.

Bathorium – The Earthy Elegance Upgrade

If you’re still using drugstore bath salts… bless your heart—but we need to talk.
Bathorium is what happens when clays, essential oils, and minerals join forces to lovingly drag the stress right out of your body.
These soaks aren’t just pretty-smelling—they’re purpose-driven. Whether you’re congested, achey, anxious, or just done, there’s a blend for that.
Bonus: They actually smell like nature, not a synthetic “lavender” air freshener that makes you sneeze.

Bath Poetry – Literal Magic in a Bottle

This bubble bath? I swear it moisturizes my soul.
Birdsong is my personal fave—it smells like a beach vacation where no one’s asking you to make snacks.
Creamy, softening, and wildly luxurious, Bath Poetry is not your kid’s bubble bath.
Also? It’s made in Saskatchewan by Nicolle, who partners with Canadian singer-songwriters and prints their lyrics right on the bottles.
Bath + poetry + music + bubbles = how is this not already in your tub?

The Tofino Hobbyist – Forest Bathing, Literally

This brand brings the Tofino rainforest to your bathroom.
Their Forest Bathing Bubble Soak smells like you ran away to the woods (but in a good way).
It’s grounding, rejuvenating, and somehow makes your faucet sound like a babbling brook.
Close your eyes. Pretend the laundry doesn’t exist. You’re healing.

Ready to soak your way into sanity?
Come into Wren and find your new tub-time soulmate.
Whether it’s detox, moisture, aromatherapy or just five blessed minutes to yourself—
I promise, the right bath can change everything.

Rub-a-dub, friends. You deserve this.
