A good night’s sleep
While we are asleep, the body begins its repair process. That is why we feel so much better afterwards. Unfortunately, some of us may suffer from sleep apnea where we stop breathing temporarily. The pauses in breathing leads to a drop in the blood oxygen level and increases their risk to health conditions such as obesity and cardiovascular issues. Garmin smartwatches are equipped with sensors to help monitor the blood oxygen levels (SpO2) and combined with the Advanced Sleep Tracking function, it provides users a full picture of the quality of sleep they receive and the amount of time spent in the different sleep stages.

A whimsical collection
Shoe designer extraordinaire, Manolo Blahnik, draws inspiration from 1960s creatives, global artisans, theatrical muses and even English football to celebrate the 50th anniversary of his career. The summer 2021 collection features the novelty, vibrancy and sense of 1960s cool to create the floral Tibor sandal, Petit Print handbag and mod Gilda boot. One other inspiration he interpreted was from actress and model Marisa Berenson’s outfit which was a floral-adorned organza dress and daisy decals and turned it to daisy appliqués with exquisite Italian macramé lace.
