Stress is one of those unknown qualities which can’t be measured or seen. It can be induced by many factors and it affects people in different ways.
Today Opulent Ethics had a bit of a wake-up call and realised how stressed we have been under the pressure of designing our latest range.
So, we gave ourselves a much needed talking to and started to dream about how we would relax and unwind if we had the money, energy and, most of all, the time. So this is our list of Opulent Ethics’ 5 green ways to combat stress:
1. Organic food and wine
 |
| Organic food taste so much better |
We are all becoming more aware of the benefits of eating organic produce and with sites like aboutorganics.co.uk it couldn’t be easier. This is your one stop shop for all things organic; restaurants, home delivery, suppliers of organic meats, dairy products, vegetables and even wines and beers. This site caters for all tastes as well as budgets.
2. An eco-friendly bed
 |
| The bed of your dreams |
Made from reclaimed UK wood, these beds are hand-made in eat.sleep.live’s local workshop. And it doesn’t end there either...you can top your reclaimed wood bed with a natural, organic, chemical free, eco-friendly mattress. Talk about preparing for a good nights sleep.
3. A fun day of craft
 |
| The impressive CAT facilities |
The Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) in Wales runs courses in craft, sustainability, environmental issues, green technology and everything you need to live more greenly. The centre already uses new, environmental technologies to run all its buildings. So if your idea of relaxation is to get your hands dirty making something then this is the place for you.
4. Spa remedies
 |
| Relax in Titanic Spa's beautiful facilities |
The Titanic Spa is the UK’s first eco-friendly spa, Set in West Yorkshire it offers a fabulous range of treatments including the Scandinavian-inspired Heat Experience which uses temperature to aid your relaxation. The Titanic offers day and weekend experiences for the totally stressed.
5. Eco-retreats
 |
| Responsible Tourism with a beautiful view |
And the best way to relax? Leave the country and all that work stress behind and explore some of the most amazing destinations in the world without impacting on the environment. Companies such as Responsible Travel can help you find the right holiday for you (luxury, responsible tourism, late availability, exploration tours) whilst improving the lives and environments of the countries that you visit. The only thing holding you back is whether you can afford to take that much time off work? Go on....
And if all that doesn’t help you relax then nothing will!
That’s all for now....
