The perfect blend of form and
function, Sony’s new speaker
doesn’t just spread beautiful sound,
it’s also a glass lantern that emits
soft candlelight. The speaker’s
cylindrical shape means music finds
its way into every corner of the room,
while the candlelight mode flickers
just like a real candle. You can even
choose between bright light or soft
glow depending on the mood.

book by Dr Tererai Trent,

with wooden stand,
$19.99/12pk.Tell us about your morning ritual:I try to wake up at 5am every morning- it gives me some ‘me time’ to think, read, write, be inspired, meditate and
exercise – all before the normal day-to-day starts.
What’s the last thing you do in the evening? I switch off my phone and
laptop before getting into bed – this helps me to wind down. I try to capture
any ideas in my journal before I sleep, and I love drinking herbal tea to help
myself relax.
What books are on your bedside table right now? Right now I’m reading
Oprah’s newest book, The Path Made Clear, and Help Me! by Marianne
Power, who also features on my latest podcast episode.
What inspired you to start your own podcast? I love hearing other people’s
stories and learning from their experiences. Since launching Your Dream Life
Starts Here in September 2018, I’ve interviewed incredible people including
Arianna Huffington, Robin Sharma, Ella Mills and Chloe Brotheridge.
Tell us about your new ‘She Shines’ collection: It was inspired by a desire
to help empower women all over the globe to look within, chase their
dreams and discover their true purpose in life. A percentage of profits
will support Dr Tererai Trent’s work in Zimbabwe, where she endeavours
to provide quality education for all children regardless of their gender
or socioeconomic backgrounds.
The ‘She Shines’ collection (below) launches in store from July 29.
