EXCLUSIVE BOOKS Because wellness is all-encompassing and feeds your body, mind and soul, I feel it so important to learn, grow and transform as human beings (not just human-doings). My current read is Atlas of the Heart by Brené Brown – a guide to understanding your emotions and learning how to regulate them. We all experience strong emotions, but most of us can’t identify what it is we’re feeling, or work out where the feelings come from. This book promises to help develop your emotional vocabulary and transform your relationship with yourself, and the people around you. R484.
ADIDAS ULTRABOOST A great pair of sneakers is essential for busy, on-the-go people, and Adidas has the finest selection of sneakers that cross the bridge of being great with leisurewear and incredible running/training shoes. Anyone who follows me knows I LOVE my kicks! These Adidas Ultraboost shoes have a water-repellent upper, a “boost” in the midsole energises your stride, and the rubber outsole offers extraordinary grip. Also made in part with recycled content generated from production waste. I am obsessed with anything leopard and anything neon-coral, so these are a match made in heaven! R3 499.
THE HARVEST TABLE COLLAGEN GRANULES The benefits of taking collagen are endless. I have been using The Harvest Table Collagen Granules every day for the past three years and have noticed improved skin texture, strong and healthy hair and nails, and overall well-being. Taking pure collagen can aid the digestive system; I also find it supports weight management by reducing blood sugar and boosts your metabolism. R834,95 for 700g.
