Today we introduce something completely fresh and different: Art Bathing, a new form of wellness. 🎨🧘‍♀️👙

With the annual Muskoka Arts and Crafts Summer Show FINALLY returning this weekend, art columnist Wendie Donabie anticipates experiencing the kind of healing and restoration at the show that she’d get from a simple swim, a spa day, or what’s trending as wilderness bathing.

A New Form of Wellness: Art Bathing - MuskokaStyle For me, summer in Muskoka isn't complete without a visit to the Muskoka Arts & Crafts (MAC) Summer Show—on July 15-17, 2022 at Bracebrdige's Annie Williams Park. I've missed the opportunity over the last two years as the show was cancelled due to... well, I'd rather not talk about the pandemic. Bu...

Today we debut a new column in MuskokaStyle: SNAP CHAT: THE STORY BEHIND THESE WILDLIFE PHOTOS.

Catching Muskoka wildlife on camera is a tricky thing. You need patience and calm, an enviable camera, clothes that don't swish. Photo duo Heather Truscott and Cheryl Nicholson of are learning by doing.

Friends since childhood, the pair spend their Muskoka weekends walking the woods, paddling the lakes, hiking the trails. Algonquin. Arrowhead. Muskoka Lakes. They stop, wait, listen. When they spot a deer or a special bird, a groundhog, a chipmunk, they raise their Nikons and shoot... in a kindly way. The result are these arresting wildlife photos published regularly here in MuskokaStyle.

Oh, and Heather and Cheryl tell stories too—the stories behind the images: what it took, and more importantly, what it meant to capture these beautiful, natural, fleeting moments on film.

Stop by often. MuskokaStyle is updated regularly with new pix.

SPENCER, A FILM REVIEW

Today at MuskokaStyle.com :

As the new 'Diana movie' Spencer unspools this week at Muskoka's Norwood Theatre, audiences are treated to a modern-day fairy tale, quickly labled a "fable" onscreen in an early scene of the latest film by Pablo Larrain.

Kristen Stewart as Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales, speeds toward Sandringham in a topless Porsche, wind messing with that iconic hair, narrowing English hedgerows whizzing by. That her path toward the monarchy's military-like Christmas estate is closing in as she drives—and a dead pheasant lies unheeded on the road—is foreshadow enough to let us poorlings know, clearly: this isn't Kansas anymore; Diana, like Anne Boleyn before her, is about to get it in the throat….
