Stuff I lovefor one of my favourite times of year

EDITOR’S PICKS

Summer Essentials

Living in the Northern Rivers region

of New South Wales can get pretty

steamy in summer – so I make

sure I’m prepared with some of my

favourite warm weathe winner

Thermos drink bottle

I can’t go past my thermo

products, even in summer. This stainless

steel vacuum insulated hydration bottle

is my favourite at the moment. It’s got

an easy flip top and keeps beverages

cold for many hours. Pop a cap of

apple cider vinegar in a flask of water

for the ultimate alkalising elixr.

Lightweight cotton singlet

I’m not a fan of clothing sticking

to me during my summer yoga

practices, so a lightweight singlet

is a must-have for me. I love this

Joy Singlet by Divine Goddess

with original, cloud artwork.

Summery yoga mat

I have a confession to make. I’m a bit of a yoga mat

hoarder. In my car you will find a variety of mats with

various prints and textures to suit the class I’m going to.

I’m loving this summery print with the oh-so-popular

suede feel material that’s perfect for a hot practice.

(Tip: spray these mats with a little water before use

for that grip-like texture from the beginning of your

practice.) $115 http://www.unitnine.com.au

Golden Quench

I heated up this delicious

turmeric drink all winter

and was so excited to

discover that it’s just as

delicious with a couple

of ice cubes for a creamy

(but vegan!) summery

thirst-quencher.

Picnic blanket

So handy to keep in the car for impromptu

picnics. I’ve fallen head over heels in love

with this one from Wandering Folk –

it comes in a handful of gorgeous prints

and is super resilient and practical.

Yoga mat spray

Our yoga mats tend to get a little sweatier

in the hotter months, so I love to keep a

bottle of mat spray on hand to give my

mat a spritz every couple of classes.
