Clean Eating Alice:

The boutique festival has moved
to Dorset's enchanting Jurassic
Coast, yet the line-up remains as
strong as ever. And, once you've
enjoyed The Pet Shop Boys or
Dizzee Rascal, take stock in the
Slow Motion tent, in partnership
with Balance. You'll find warm
showers, wood-fired hot tubs,
a dry Finnish sauna and more.

Everyday Fitness
We're not saying that you'll definitely
end up with washboard abs just like
the titular Instagram sensation, but
exercise is made to feel accessible
in Clean Eating Alice's new book.
As well as the sort of workouts you
can realistically weave into your daily
routine, Everyday Fitness is also
packed with delicious and wholesome
recipes. (£14.99, Harper Thorsons)

THE
F U L L H IT
Terranova
According
to a recent
Mintel study,
46% of
Britons take a multivitamin
- but with dozens to
choose from, how do we
know which one is best?
Terranova's Full-Spectrum
Multivitamin not only gives
you every essential vitamin
and mineral, but also a
synergistic combination
of wholefoods to enhance
the nutritional benefits.
And like every Terranova
product, it's 100%
additive-free and vegan.

NATURA L HIGH
Macacha
Consider yourself an
active person? Then
you'll want to make
sure you're putting the
right things into your
body in order to keep
those sweet, sweet
stamina levels going.
Macacha Energy is a
plant-protein vanilla
shake with maca and
yerba mate (£32 for
500g). 'Yerba mate' might
sound like some sort of
cool greeting that you're
not yet privy to, but it's
actually a South American
herb that naturally
contains caffeine, making
it the ideal morning drink.

Pukka's
Island of
Tranquility
If you ever stare wistfully out of the
office window and wish you could
escape, you're in luck. The gang from
herbal tea experts Pukka are serving
up free teas and wellness classes
at its pop-up Island of Tranquility
(Whole Foods, High Street Kensington,
throughout June and July). A free yoga
workshop? Yes please. pukkaherbs.com

This could be just the tonic
for anyone feeling run down.
Jung Shim is a Korean practice
that's aimed at releasing stress,
anxiety and fatigue, thereby
restoring vital energy. Pitched
as a cross between traditional
Eastern medicine and Qi energy
treatment, Jung Shim might sound
centuries-old, but has actually
been around for only 40 years.
We've been, and can vouch for
its effectiveness. jungshim.org

LOV E WILL CO N Q U ER A LL

by Bernadette Russell

In the last few weeks
we have witnessed
incredible acts of
courage and kindness
in both Manchester and
London. These include
our heroic emergency
services, people offering
'beds, brews and blood',
Muslim taxi drivers
ferrying people home
for free, the Rabbi who
made cups of tea for

AS A NATION

police officers, cafés
offering free grub,
and hotels sheltering
kids separated from
their parents.
EVERYDAY HEROE S

I read about the offduty police officer who
fought the attackers
with his bare hands,
about the public who
helped him as he lay
injured, about the
Romanian chef who
sheltered people inside

his bakery. Every minute
a new story emerges
- and we can all derive
hope from them.
These acts were
carried out by people
from all sorts of different
backgrounds, proving
this is one of many
positive things we have
in common - a desire to
help each other out.

yourselves, be vigilant
but think the best of
people. If you find
yourself doubting
the good of human
beings, look for the
evidence yourself,
of everyday acts of
kindness and courage.
Our attackers are
after hate and division,
let's live instead with
love and compassion.

RE SPOND WITH LOVE

Look after each other,
go out and enjoy
