It’s not often city-goers get to enjoy a slice of me-town during their busy schedules. So when they do, they should take full advantage of their day out to replenish, relax and rest up.

9am: Supercharge your day

Vitamins and teas are good boosters to help us brave the day, but we must be careful to source from quality suppliers: Neal’s Yard Remedies is one of them.

Opt for its Multi-Vitamin & Mineral Boost, a nutritional support for general health maintenance sans nano-technology, GM ingredients, synthetic binders or fillers. Start your day with an exquisite blend of essential nutrients, vitamins, green tea, wheat grass, zinc and selenian.  

Otherwise, switch out your morning coffee for its Organic Bright Start Tea, a zesty hit of sustainably harvested lemon, green nettle and rosehip that will surely wake up your senses.

10am: Me Time Begins

Parents, even the doting ones, deserve some self-love as well. Here to make babysitting adventures fun and educational for your child is AMAZED, which offers course in sports, science, technology and languages. Parents can take a coffee break or are, of course, welcomed to join with their kids shall they decide against a solo day.

11am: Break a Sweat

Self-care isn’t exclusive to ladies. Inspire for Men is a one-stop-shop for workouts, body treatments as well as hair and skin care. Work up a sweat before undoing the knots from prolonged office work; or pamper yourself with a foot massage to wring out any lingering stress from the week.
