We’re all about wellbeing this month, with beauty-boosting tea, gut-pleasing probiotics, uplifting crystal candles and luxurious loungewear

What began as a playground friendship has flourished into sustainable loungewear brand Flo & Sang. Disillusioned by ‘fast fashion’, Flo & Sang were determined to use high quality cotton blends to create laid back luxe basics that would become timeless wardrobe staples. Their signature designs include oversized hoodies, joggers and T-shirts, which are hand dyed and available in a range of colourways including dove grey, tie dye, cobalt and dusky pink. Supersoft and durable, the cosy collection, which is gender neutral, is ideal for wintry walks, Netflix and chill time or as WFH attire if you don’t have to show your face (or torso) in the office or via Zoom!

Hot on the heels of Migraine Awareness Week, the Cambridge-based team at Happyr Health are spreading the message that teens get migraine too. Statistics show that one in 10 teenagers live with the neurological condition, which can severely impact their physical, emotional and social wellbeing, and lead to mental health disorders.

Whilst for adults, migraine may manifest itself as a headache with visual disturbance, in teens it can appear as abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting. Worryingly, around 50 per cent of migraine sufferers have encountered their first attack before the age of 12. With pharmacological solutions limited in this age group, Happyr Health, run by Nicola Filzmoser and Cornelius Palm (who have both suffered chronic conditions), is developing digital pain management solutions.

It has created an app to help teenagers through self-management and lifestyle changes such as getting regular sleep, meals and snacks. It encourages them to view their migraine as a dragon, which can be tamed, using tools such as daily mood tracking, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and a symptom diary.
