In order to use _rems_, the base font properties need to be declared against the html tag.
This is how it should look like:

```css
html {
font-family: @baseFontFamily;
font-size: @baseFontSize;
line-height: @baseLineHeight;
p {
margin: 0 0 @baseLineHeight / 2;
small {
font-size: @baseFontSize - 2;
color: @grayLight;
}
}
}
```
