The national airline of Fiji, Fiji Airways, has just dropped a new wellness program designed to support the wellness of both passengers and crew alike. Starting June 1st, the new “FlyWell” wellness program will include mental performance drinks, red light therapy, wearable technology, and more designed to help support recovery for long-haul travels. These new amenities as part of the wellness program will be available onboard for certain travelers onboard as well as within the Fiji Airways Premier Lounge at Nadi International Airport.

The FlyWell wellness products will initially be offered to Business Class guests across two phases – complimentary onboard for the first two months and available for sale in the third month. Select long-haul flights between Nadi, Fiji and North American destinations like San Francisco and Los Angeles will see these amenities first (with the program set to expand over time).

One of the key components of this new program is the partnership with Magic Mind, a a mental performance drink formulated with clinically backed ingredients, is available to guests in two variations onboard. The ‘Sleep’ shot is specifically designed for long-haul travel, helping support deeper, more restorative sleep in-flight and reduce next-day grogginess often associated with jet lag. The ‘Original’ shot supports calm focus and sustained energy, providing a balanced alternative to traditional stimulants during the journey.

“The Fiji Airways FlyWell program reflects our ongoing commitment to innovation and care, and marks an important step towards our mission of being the World’s Happiest Airline”, said Mr. Paul Scurrah, Managing Director and CEO of Fiji Airways.

Cafe Charmant, The Corner Store Crew’s Latest, Puts Food Ahead of the Scene

I’ll be honest. If I weren’t a writer, there is no way in hell I could have landed a 7:15 Saturday night reservation at Cafe Charmant just a mere four weeks after its opening. The most recent jewel in the buzzy Catch Hospitality Group’s crown, the glitzy eatery is the newest IT restaurant to hit the downtown scene, so chalk it up to one of the perks of the job that I could walk in, order a drink, and be ushered to a corner table for two in under 10 minutes.

Though the state of making prime reservations in New York City may not come as a surprise to many, I’m still not able to reconcile with the current velvet rope of so many of this city’s restaurants. Sure, the 90s and early 2000’s had their Indochine, Moomba (if you remember that one, we need to grab a drink). The Waverly Inn, but for the most part, you could easily make a reservation or even walk in and wait for a table with a cocktail in hand at most popular establishments. And, let’s be honest, half the people weren’t even eating, if you know what I mean.

A tasting guide to Livermore Valley, California’s friendliest wine country

Adult, Male, Man

Livermore Valley sits in Northern California’s East Bay, where the hustle and bustle of neighboring Oakland and San Francisco give way to grassy rolling hills, big open skies, and over 40 tasting rooms. The region is home to some of the best wines I’ve tasted in the state, without the pretense and rigidity I’ve come to expect from other tasting rooms in the region.

And thanks to the valley’s marine-influenced winds, varied climate, and diverse soils, I tasted an unusually broad range of wines. Crisp whites, structured reds, and everything in between seem to be able to find their footing here.
