I am sending you energy and love from Puglia, south of Italy! This is my first Yoga Retreat experience, and I have to say that I really enjoy!

We are 14 people from different countries, enjoying good food, nice weather and relaxation.

Yesterday we did a wine tasting at an old castle – what a great experience !

Our teacher for the 5 days.

I smell wonderful flowers (such as gardenia, jasmine, etc.), eat super nice food and relaxing by the pool is also not bad 😉

Yoga in nature! Or on the rooftop…

Thanks to Do.Be.See for organizing this!!!

Yours, Fran

The sleepiest print ad ever made

Ikea’s print ad serves a useful purpose by aiming to help people get a good night’s sleep.

“Sömnig”, which is Swedish for sleepy, was designed to be torn out of a magazine and placed beside a bed to demonstrate the quality of Ikea’s mattresses. When activated, it emits a white noise frequency that masks unwanted noises.

It also includes an aromatic lavender port and was printed using lavender infused ink, a scent which is known to help relax muscles and lower heart rate.

Nighty night! Yours, Fran

GROWN has created a new format for adaptogens: supplements that help to boost cortisol and balance stressors that goes beyond powdered supplements.

The range of three adaptogenic herb and mushroom tonics consists of a morning iteration to combat fatigue, a mushroom tonic to boost the immune system and a calming evening adaptogen.

The liquid supplements can either be added to drinks like tea, coffees and smoothies or pipetted straight onto the tongue, making it easy to incorporate into daily life. ‘At GROWN we are not asking you to change your daily rituals, but simply add to the ones you already have,’ states the brand website.

Interesting format – Boost your health with a drop! Yours, Fran

Business opportunities for sleep are wide and far: meet the Snoozeliner, a night bus equipped with designer beds and the latest technology, including olfactory relaxation, to promote optimal rest.

Tired of the hustle and bustle of public transport, which is hardly conducive to catching up on lost hours of sleep? An architectural firm based close to London, has created a vehicle for people leaving the capital after a night of partying that enables them to rest during their journey home: the Snoozeliner is equipped with designer beds and the latest technology to promote optimal rest.

Sound insulation and memory foam mattresses

The result of a collaboration between architectural firm Andersson-Wood and high-tech mattress brand Simba, the Snoozeliner features 14 futuristic looking capsules that can accommodate sleep-deprived travellers. It’s impossible to miss your stop: stewards come to wake travellers when they have reached their destination.

The night bus offers dreamy sleeping conditions: in addition to a memory foam mattress, the capsules are equipped with soundproofing insulation, opaque blinds and a soft light in amber, the most relaxing hue.

Olfactory relaxation

Travellers can even choose from a selection of room scents according to their personal needs that have been selected by aromatherapy specialists: want a heavy restorative sleep, or perhaps you are looking to dispel the first signs of a hangover? In development for the past four months, the Snoozeliner is expected to reach eight roads in the UK, including those leading to London, Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham, from Autumn 2018 onwards.

Falling asleep with Oria

Waking up to the smell of bacon every day may not be plausible, but you may be able to fall asleep to some equally pleasant (though less … meaty) smells. Meet the Oria from Sensorwake, described as a “smart, intuitive, and nonintrusive device that improves sleep quality and recharges our personal batteries using the power of scents.”

It’s a follow-up to Sensorwake’s first product, an olfactory alarm clock that woke you up with pleasant smells. The Oria, however, isn’t as interested in getting you out of bed as it is about enjoying your time in bed. By working with fragrance and flavor specialists at Givaudan, Sensorwake has created a device that employs sleep enhancing fragrances to help you sleep better and longer, and wake up feeling more refreshed.

In studies conducted by Givaudan and the Clinical Sleep Center at Loughborough University, scientists have determined that certain smells do indeed impact sleep quality. To that end, Oria is using two patented scents to help you get some rest.

Bedtime innovations are always welcome! Yours, Fran

When you can’t get away, drink away!!!

NOA Relaxation has combined cutting-edge scientific research with millennia-old traditions. The result is a beverage that helps you cope with stress and maintain focus.

Inspired by Scandinavian nature, NOA Relaxation uses natural herbs, colours, and flavours. The drink contains green tea extract with 200 mg L-theanine plus other active ingredients.

“It helps you to reduce stress and sharpen your mental capability such as increased concentration and memory function. L-theanin stimulates alpha brain waves associated with a relaxed, but alert state of mind. NOA Relaxation also contains Melissa, which decreases stress and increases cognitive function”.

To be honest, I’m very much into the pictures! Looks amazing! Yours, Fran

Everyone knows how important sleep is for our health. Not so much the quantity, but mostly the quality. The market for non-drug sleep aid seems to be constantly growing.

The UK based company called Kiss the Moon picks up on this trend by launching facial and bath oils. 100% natural ingredients should apparently help us to fall asleep more easily and calmly.

There are 4 different fragrance variants on the market: Love, Glow, Calm, Dream

Nice concept! Don’t fall asleep now though 😉

Yours, Fran
