Incubation Station!

Update on June 7th

We have over 3000 eggs in our incubators, thanks to you and our great young staff... This represents over 300 nests. Now that the eggs are tucked away, both in our incubators and in nature, the embryos will begin forming...soon we will see a heart that beats.

Turtle Guardians is the third largest incubator for turtles in decline, in Ontario. Incubation and release means that the change for an egg to hatch and reach adulthood increases 200% from 1 in about 20,000! Thank you.   

Each nest has a unique code. Haley, our technician has been tirelessly ensuring all data is entered and each nest is cared for.

A long day....

We spend hours each day processing each nest...we have created a little outdoor tent to get some fresh air as we get each nest ready.

Nests are transferred from the excavation bucket into tupperware that is specially prepared and nest numbers are labelled on the containers.

How we got here!

Thanks to you, we were able to rescue nest at the sides of major roads, or from construction zones. 

Stay tuned for our next update...next week!

The Man, the Myth, the Watchmaker

Pierre-Yves Müller, the notorious Swiss watch maker, is sitting in a minimalistic garden chair outside his house located in the heart of fairy tale Swiss Alps. FashionFreaks were lucky enough to get an interview with this mysterious precision watchmaker.

It strikes me the second I see him, this man is the real deal. Well groomed fingers with nails trimmed to perfection. These hands are his tools and they are taken care of in the same manner an auto repairman takes care of his tools.

Pierre-Yves greets us with a conservative smile, there is no room for small talk in this interview. But small talk is not necessary, we want to know everything about the man and his company, Tick Tock, Tick Tock...

FF Quick Picks

Kalman Lipstick

The new line of Kalman lipsticks are very exciting. Intense colors and a very long lasting effect. For the price, you get a lot of lipstick. The design of the lipstick looks cheap, though.

Eamonn Jeans

Eamonn have released a new line of jeans called Eamonn No. 5. If you have the right figure, you're in for a treat. The tight fit looks great, and they are very comfortable to wear. Although pricy, you won't get a much better pair of jeans.

Aaqil Silk Ties

Luxury ties from Italian makers, Aaqil. These ties are the best looking ties we have seen in a long time. Expensive, yes.. a problem, NO.

Nuna Streetwear

Kids streetwear from Nuna means color and craziness. Soft materials and wild patterns are the building block of Nuna. Durable, expensive and wild. Can't really beat that.
