BucketOrange: Made With Love

Some think love can be measured by the number of times their heart races. Others think love can be declared with diamonds, flowers or grand romantic gestures. But we think love can only truly be demonstrated by actions. It can be found in the little things, like making a mixtape, or peeling an orange for someone because you know they don't like doing it.

That's why we created BucketOrange Magazine. We understand that sometimes in life the things that are good for us come in inconvenient packages. Exercise is important, but requires dedication. Eating well is crucial, but requires discipline. Maintaining your legal health is critical, but the law is hard to digest.

BucketOrange is a hand-crafted labour of love. With each word we unpeel the law's greatest mysteries into bite-sized segments - so all that's left for you to do is consume, enjoy and share the love!

#LoveTheLaw
