Collagen is a protein that keeps our skin plump and elastic. As we get older, collagen levels in our skin start to deplete, which leads to the formation of wrinkles. By exploring collagen boosting remedies, it’s possible to slow down and even slightly reverse the aging process. Just what are some great ways to boost collagen levels? Below are 5 potential solutions. 

Eat more nuts and berries 

Certain foods can help to naturally boost collagen levels and fight off wrinkles. Nuts are very effective at warding off wrinkles due to their high content of zinc and copper, which are both key to collagen production. Cashews and almonds are particularly rich in these minerals. Berries like blueberries and blackcurrants are meanwhile rich in vitamin C and anthocyanins, making them effective collagen-boosters. 

Wishing I had Better Arch Support for the Next Hike! #hiking #GirlGuidesofCanada

I had an amazing weekend camping with some friends from Girl Guides of Canada a few weeks ago. It was our second camping trip for the 2025 fall season, with a total of 26 girls and 7 guiders. We had the pleasure of camping at Camp Wildman, which is a seasonal regular for our unit. The Pathfinders unit that have some of our previous guiders that graduated last year, joined in our adventure as well. My favourite part of every camping trip is when we go on a long hike, and I really wish I had better arch support for next time.

Camp Wildman is a beautiful 100 acre wooded wilderness in Simcoe County, roughly 40 km northwest of Barrie, Ontario. The camp has been used by Scouts since it was purchased from the Wildman family in 1937. Whether you're looking for the simplicity of camping with a tent, the beauty of the backwoods, the cozy comfort of a cabin, an adventure in an Adirondack, or to test your skills with a snow shelter, each option offers a chance for growth and learning. There's plenty of space and nature resources to explore, with plenty of hiking trails and wooded areas that will take multiple visits to be able to see it all. 

This trip we went on 2 hour long hike through the woods, as went off trail. There was lots of ups and downs, a lot of huffing and puffing on my part, but I'm amazed I was able to do it. I was still recovering from having surgery, so it really pushed my limits. Nothing better than being out in the fresh air exploring... see my previous post!
