Gwinganna’s Longevity Lounge

Beyond the Wellness Hype

Ahead of Gwinganna’s Longevity Lounge in Brisbane on November 8, we explore the difference between extending lifespan and supporting a longer, healthier and more fulfilling life. Longevity has become one of the loudest conversations in health and wellness. At WellBeing, we’ve been writing about it for nearly 40 years, and we find it helps to […]

Head Lice

Why head lice care is ready for a rethink

Most parents remember the first time. A child scratches at the dinner table, someone parts their hair under the kitchen light and a tiny insect turns an ordinary evening into a family operation. The questions arrive fast, starting with where it came from and ending with what to buy before the chemist closes for the […]

Gym Plus

Creating a family-friendly home gym

Editor kate reveals how a wall ladder has turned her downstairs lounge room into the most popular spot in the house.  Most mornings, my five-year-old son Harry is halfway up the wall of our downstairs lounge room. He is back up there again in the afternoon and has told me he wishes he could “sleep […]

Organic

What Organic Really Means in Australia

Australia is the only developed country with no mandatory domestic standard governing the word organic on a label. Uncertified products can legally use the word “organic” even where organic content is very low, provided the claim is not misleading under Australian Consumer Law.

Healing at Elements

Activewear

From reformer to playground

H&M’s activewear concept, Move, reveals a set of new fabrics called SculptMove and SoftMove. I wore them through a week of reformer, restorative yoga, weights and chasing my toddler around the park. I’ve worn a lot of activewear that promises to carry you from studio to street and I’m often left feeling disappointed. H&M’s Move […]

Mv Skintherapy

MV Skintherapy: The Ritual That Changed Everything

I’d been walking past it for weeks. The grey linen MV Skintherapy beauty bag sitting quietly on my bathroom bench, patient and unhurried in a way that I absolutely was not. Every night I’d glance at it and think, tomorrow. Tomorrow I’ll do it. Tomorrow when I’m less tired, when my baby goes down earlier, […]

Peloton Tread

The future of home fitness

WellBeing’s editor Kate discovers what happens when design meets data, testing out the new Peloton Tread for the ultimate at-home workout. Here in Australia, we are lucky to access stunning beaches, coastal pools, cooling watering holes, bush tracks and bike trails, so convincing Australians to train indoors can be next to impossible. However, the Peloton’s […]
