There are, to my mind, two deeply-unappealing facets to how wellness practises and products are presented. The first is in the form of fluffy farcical ideas like bubble baths acting as a panacea for all life’s woes. A bubble bath is a joy, sure, and it can bookend a crap day — but cure all ills it cannot, obviously.
The second is the preposterous notion that being well can be bought (though of course finances play a role and pretending otherwise would be insane), when a whole host of truly-effective measures don’t involve big spends but rather small actions, repeated often.
