MAKE YOUR OWN

TURMERIC OIL

Home-made turmeric oil has many

health benefits and adds earthy

flavours to roasted vegetables and

salad dressings. Combine 1 cup coconut

oil and a 2cm piece of fresh turmeric

in a small saucepan. Simmer over a

medium-low heat for 30 minutes or

until the oil has a deep orange colour.

Cool it to room temperature, strain it,

and refrigerate in an airtight container

or jar for up to a week.

Spiritgirl’s colourful collection of workout pants and tops

are comfortable, breathable, moisture wicking and quick

drying. They also help to save the environment. The fabric

is manufactured using Coolmax’s EcoMade technology,

which uses PET (polyethylene terephthalate) obtained

from recycled plastic bottles that is woven with spandex.

Experiment with a better fit: loop the

cables behind your head and around

the top of each ear and swap sides for

earbuds that are angled to fit in the ear

canal: place the side marked ‘L’ in

your right ear, and vice versa.
