Leanne Grechulk is the founder of HealthyGirl, an online wellness company for women, whose main goal is to inspiring women to find better balance in their lives.

Leanne shares with us what it is like to be an entrepreneur and how we can become successful.

When you were a little girl, what did you want to be?
A dancer!

Where did the idea for HealthyGirl come from?
After working as a marketing and sales manager for many Fortune 500 companies over the past 10 years, I was burnt out, my friends were burnt out and I literally woke up one morning and decided enough was enough. I have always been passionate about health, fitness and entrepreneurship - HealthyGirl was born!

What type of women are you hoping to help?
Corporate women as well as entrepreneurs who would like to maximize their business/results and recognize that improving their health improves their energy, self-esteem, posture and their business.

We’re all trying to do the best for our bodies by drinking more water. Isn’t it annoying when you have to wait for your water to filter? Drip, drip, drip, you patiently wait but soon your thirst takes over. You decide to jump ahead and then end up pouring water all over your counter.

Clear2O solves this problem – with a hose that tucks into the handles and connects to your faucet - filling up in less than 40 seconds, as the water pressure forces water quickly through the carbon block filter. It eliminates 43 more contaminants than its competitors including cadmium, lead, asbestos and mercury. Clear2O holds the equivalent of nine eight ounce glasses, compared to other water pitchers which average six glasses. Its easy to know when the filter needs replacing - a flow meter on the lid gives you the go ahead with green, a warning with yellow and turns red when you need to replace the filter. And even better – the filter is recyclable.

Red or white? Sometimes it’s just too difficult to choose. Sometimes you want both and that’s why we’re crushing on Built NY’s Two Bottle Tote, now you don’t have to choose. Perfect for picnics, these neoprene - think wetsuit material - totes snugly fit your bottled bevies so they’ll stay hot or cold for up to four hours. Clink-proof, to prevent breakage, the two bottle tote stretches to hold and insulate two 750ml or 1-liter bottles.

Available in a variety of patterns and colours - we love the Soho Stripe in rust - these lightweight, versatile totes are stylish and durable, did we mention machine-washable and the soft-grip handle makes transporting a cinch.

Who doesn’t love a picnic in the park!
