Food to enjoy, skincare to try, places to visit and things to experience – here’s a quick round-up of everything the focus team loved recently.
Calm & Relax, Mānuka Sensations
Stress and anxiety are often obstacles to sound and restful sleep but this little bottle, packed with the soothing scents of jojoba, lavender, rose geranium, cedarwood, patchouli and East Cape Mānuka oils, contains the perfect blend to promote relaxation and get your body into a restful state, ready for sleep.
Calm & Relax Essential Oil blend in jojoba oil can be applied to pulse points or, combined with your favourite carrier oil, used for a dreamy, relaxing massage. We’ve also discovered that applying a drop to every second or third bead of a lava bracelet works a treat.

It doesn’t need refrigeration, it’s not made in someone’s shed and you don’t have to be a hippie to love it!” says Craig Parker, Creative Director at WAVE Creative Communications Agency.
