The new range of products have been created and inspired by Villa Lena\u2019s expansive 500-hectare estate, including olive oil, two variations of red wine, candles, limited edition prints, olive picks and napkins. In addition to the home-grown products, Villa Lena is also launching an authentically Tuscan sparkling ros\u00e9 in collaboration with Mazzei wines, a family run business that has been making wine in Tuscany for over 600 years.<\/p>\n<p>The Villa Lena estate is home to olive groves containing some 2,000 trees and vineyards stretching almost 2 hectares. The estate\u2019s annual harvests yield enough produce to create just a limited amount of high-quality extra virgin olive oil and Sangiovese red wines &#8211; some of the truest Tuscan flavours one can find. Villa Lena\u2019 extra virgin olive oil is organic and made exclusively from olives on the Villa Lena estate.<\/p>\n<p>Former Villa Lena resident Chef Kristopher Edelen of HOTPAN, NYC said: \u201cVilla Lena olive oil is lively and full of aromas of fresh Tuscan grass and green herbs. I love the flavour for it is robust like the Tuscano landscape, the fragrant olives are local from the Villa Lena property they\u2019re treated with love and kindness from their agriculture team. This is what makes this olive oil a true gem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New York based chef Alexis Delaney said: \u201cTuscan olive oil is intensely spicy and flavourful and Villa Lena\u2019s is no exception. My favourite way to eat it is poured generously over toasted garlic rubbed bread finished with some freshly ground black pepper and crunchy sea salt.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Villa Lena\u2019s sparking ros\u00e9 builds on the immense heritage of sparkling wines in Italy but with a contemporary twist.<\/p>\n<p>Mazzei Wines said of the sparkling ros\u00e9 collaboration: \u201cThis beautiful sparkling ros\u00e9 has been created on land inherited from Elisabetta Galavani Onigo, the Tuscan entrepreneur of the 19th century.

The soft strap and stitched heel secure the foot for comfort. From yoga and barre classes to martial arts applications and more, one will feel secure in movements, and feet will have complete range of motion. Elastic trim supports ankles throughout the workout, and the top of each sock remains open to allow ample airflow. This innovative design gives the best of both worlds. If you can\u2019t wear shoes but prefer not to go completely barefoot, these non-slip Pilates socks are the perfect solution. Since the toes are open and only the first two toes are separated, one can easily make the small balance adjustments that are often necessary in various workouts.<\/p>\n<p>Ballerina<br \/>\nPerfect for Barre and Pilates, but not for yoga, this patented toe free design feels like a whisper, and allows one to channel their inner ballerina. The ballerina-inspired socks have the shape of a ballet flat with open toes and were created specifically with Pilates and barre classes in mind. Both Pilates and barre were originally designed to be performed barefoot, but, sometimes a little more traction is needed. Just like a ballerina\u2019s pointe shoes must fit impeccably in order to be able to perform at peak performance, non-slip barre socks need to conform to the foot perfectly. With Tucketts signature toeless design, it\u2019s easy to make tiny adjustments to balance. Movements can be executed with complete confidence and never have to worry about slipping. Whether you\u2019re worried about perspiration causing feet to slip or just wanting more traction during barefoot exercise, these socks are perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Anklet<br \/>\nUsed for all barefoot workouts with great arch support, these ankle grip socks are designed for all types of barefoot exercises.. With the dual benefit of traction and circulation, toes will have full mobility, which allows for best stability. Get all the support needed from a compression-style sock without worrying about the possibility of slipping. Unlike other yoga socks that separate or cover the toes completely, Tucketts provides separation between the first two toes only, leaving the others free to grasp the mat and make balance adjustments. No matter if you\u2019re headed to your weekly Pilates class or if you\u2019ve decided to venture out into martial arts, these non-slip ankle socks offer arch support while still maintaining a barefoot feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Knee High<br \/>\nUsed for all barefoot workouts with arch and heel support, and compression, these toeless knee-high socks are perfect for Pilates, barre, yoga, martial arts, and more. Whatever your barefoot exercise may be, our socks give you fantastic arch and ankle support that just isn\u2019t possible when you\u2019re completely barefoot.<\/p>\n<p>Leg Warmers<br \/>\nPerfect for all barefoot workouts and streetwear, working out with leg warmers keeps muscles warm to prevent injury. These leg warmers provide complete range of motion to perform intricate movements while keeping muscles warm and agile. Perfect to stay cozy on chilly days! Originally worn by dancers to warm up at the barre and during 80\u2019s exercise classes, workout leg warmers are now used everywhere in the world of fitness. During any type of workout, it\u2019s important to keep muscles warm at all times in order to prevent injury. Tucketts leg warmers assure complete range of motion to perform intricate movements while keeping joints and muscles warm and agile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Looking for a refreshing and healthy drink this winter?

The books he has penned have not only entertained children across the globe, but are building closer connections between caregivers and children, while teaching children vital core values and life skills to deal with the \u201csticky thoughts\u201d (i.e. negative feelings) and the challenges that come across their path each day.<\/p>\n<p>Now five of the children\u2019s books that Andrew has written will be available in South Africa from September via retailers like Exclusive Books and Bargain Books, or online at The Conscious Bedtime Story Club website.<\/p>\n<p>The five books that will be released in South Africa are The Hug Who Got Stuck, How Diablo Became Spirit, The Elephant Who Tried To Tiptoe, The Boy Who Searched For Silence, and The Prayer Who Searched For God. Together this set of five books model core lessons such as teaching children how to access their heart and release negative thoughts, how to connect with animals and respect all living beings, how to love the body they have, and how to find silence in themselves and connect with the spiritual part of themselves using prayer and breathing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe main purpose of the series is to encourage bonding between parents and children and to help children integrate the day\u2019s lessons and experiences while letting go of negativity in order to fall asleep feeling safe and loved,\u201d says Andrew.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the philosophy behind his books, Andrew says: \u201cWe know that trauma happens when you are awake and that the neural pathways of our belief systems are stabilised during the hours that we are asleep. Protective behaviours are then built on top of those beliefs in an attempt to avoid re-experiencing the pain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, let\u2019s say I am a happy kid enjoying being myself. Then one day I go to school and a bully takes away my lunch on the playground. It\u2019s very likely that I will then spend the rest of that day feeling unsafe and scared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I don\u2019t speak to an adult about those feelings or know what to do with those feelings, I will carry them with me when I go to bed. Those emotions will play out in my head when I sleep so that by the next morning, I would have thought out a strategy to avoid that pain. In this case, I hide in the classroom so the bully can\u2019t find me,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>Andrew believes that this process can be interrupted by a caregiver long before it leads to negative coping mechanisms that is likely to affect a child\u2019s self-esteem and confidence into adulthood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe simple act of connection, touch and love from a parent in the last 20 minutes of the day, while snuggling together over a story, is enough to restore a sense of safety in the child before the negative neural pathways get stabilised during sleep. Consciously creating daily time for togetherness also shows the child that they matter, and they belong and it gives them a regular space to open up and share if they choose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Andrew has been carrying his message of the importance of the last 20 minutes of the day across world stages, as opening speaker for Deepak Chopra in Oregon and TEDx presenter in Findhorn Scotland amongst others. His books have also been endorsed by Oprah\u2019s favourite parenting expert, Dr Shefali Tsabary.<\/p>\n<p>He has completed a four-year programme at the Barbara Brennan School of Healing, two years advanced counseling training and participated in the Mankind Project\u2019s men&#8217;s circles since 2006.<\/p>\n<p>People often ask him how he got started.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wrote a poem in my journal one day and thought, \u2018this needs some pictures\u2019. I contacted a Scottish friend called Rosie and asked her to illustrate the poetry book for me. She charged 10 pounds per hour and I earned 10 pounds an hour, so you can imagine how long it took me to publish that book.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLater after making four more books I realised that the stories were helpful for adults and children and an integral part of my healing work in the world, so I developed the Conscious Bedtime Story Club.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about Andrew and The Conscious Bedtime Stories Club, you can watch some of his talks and interviews below:<br \/>\nTEDx on Why The last 20 minutes of the day matter: www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sfcZhlK-FAU<br \/>\nDr Shefali Tsabary and Andrew Newman talk about bedtime stories: www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XPfPcsWN4dg<br \/>\nGood Morning La La Land (Los Angeles Breakfast TV): www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7crUglaOG6k&amp;t=64s<\/p>\n<p>You can also visit www.consciousstories.com for more information.<\/p>\n<p>My Gnome on the Roam\u00ae adventure kit for kids ages 3 to 12, created by busy working mom and middle school teacher Anne Armstrong!
