Cartografie Chocolates

health and wellness gizmos gadgets Cartografie Chocolate thethreedrinkers.com the three drinkers

You may be wondering why chocolate and wellness are in the same category but there’s a good reason – it’s all to do with endorphins. Turns out quality cocoa causes our brain to release a surge of endorphins, which upon interacting with receptors in our brains cause a surge of euphoria. Let me be clear– your average bar of Cadbury’s is NOT going to have the same effect. What I’m talking about is the purest possible form of quality and indulgence, handcrafted with cocoa sourced directly (and ethically) from top cacao farmers. Head Chocolatier, Kae Shibata is no stranger to this world, having spent much of her career in some of London’s most reputed 5-star hotels. Each chocolate celebrates the unique expression of region, couverture and cocoa bean variety. With their elegance and refined taste, these are without question the best chocolates I’ve tasted. The latest venture of Kae Shibata, Sven Britt-Hanson and Daniela Nunzi-Mihranian will send your tastebuds to a whole new level.

The past 12 months have been… yes, we won’t even go there. While 99% of the population took up making banana bread, those with gardens decided to plant flowers and herbs – how successful they were is another story. While we weren’t all lucky enough to have an outdoor space to unwind, Click & Grow has brought the greenery to us. This revolutionary technology is like an indoor greenhouse, allowing you to grow seed to plant or flower in as little as two weeks. Tried and tested, we can happily swear by it.

Routine is so important, and it starts from the moment we wake up and begin our day. I’ve been a huge coffee fan for years and tested many machines – but my preference has always led me to a craft Italian producer called La Marzocco. The Linea Mini is based on their classic machine which is used and accoladed by thousands of top baristas across the planet. Having that same technology be a part of your in-home ritual gives you a sense of quality kickstarts each day on top form. It’s not often I have an emotional bond with a kitchen appliance, but this is the exception. With custom panels, auto turn-on via your phone app and an array of other benefits to make your life easier and your coffee better, this is the top machine on the market. Welcome to the espresso revolution.

There’s just something about the way Parks create their candles that makes me feel so wholesome and comforted.

My personal favourites are Feu de Bois, Amber, Tobacco & Leather and of course Bourbon & Maple – but I’m sure you’ll fall in love with something that resonates with you too.

One thing I learnt by spending so much time at home in 2020 is that scent is crucial to our mental health and wellbeing. Whether it’s flowers, candles or something more permanent, we all need that little something to help make the same environment more bearable to be in. Enter, Vitruvi. Brought to us by a sibling duo of scent experts who have intertwined the world of botanicals to produce a number of essential oils to lighten up our mood, mind and day-to-day happiness. With blends, single origin and essential oil collections, there’s a heck of a lot of scents to choose from. I for one am rather excited about welcoming 2021 by enhancing more senses than my tastebuds. It’s time to let smell become an even more important part of mental health.

Phillips Hue Lighting

health and wellness gizmos gadgets Phillips Hue thethreedrinkers.com the three drinkers

I was first introduced to Philips Hue about 5 years ago and it has changed my life. We often disregard just how important lighting is and the effect it has on our moods. Philips Hue hits every colour on the colour spectrum and comes in a variety of lightbulbs for existing fighting, standalone lamps and even strip lighting. You can create a variety of ambient lighting moods for waking up to give you energy, peace-time for a little midday meditation or nap time and as the evening rolls around to calm your senses and get you ready for a good night’s sleep. Their app allows you to control everything seamlessly via smart devices such as Google and Alexa and there are a plethora of in-app functions to get the most out of your tech. I cannot recommend these more highly.

Over the past year we’ve had to motivate ourselves to work out.

IonFlow 2.0 Signature

health and wellness gizmos gadgets IonFlow thethreedrinkers.com the three drinkers

If there’s one thing we learnt in 2020 it’s that we really don’t like viruses. We also learnt (hopefully) how to keep a cleaner home and a clearer mind. But it’s not just about clean surfaces and a nicely made bed. More than 90% of particles in the air are smaller than PM0.1, many of which are harmful like dust, mould and viruses. IonFlow 2.0 keeps the very air we breathe pure. This air cleansing device has a 99.94% ultra-fine particle reduction, getting rid of harmful elements that surrounded us. The result is a genuinely clearer space, mindset and not to mention the countless health benefits that arise as a result. It also looks pretty damn sexy too.
