IT’S IN THE BAG<br />
A designer bag every month, for twelve months.<br />
The start of a new year brings notions of promise and excitement, which<br />
from experience, dissolve by around mid-March. However, with a little help<br />
from online retailer Net-A-Porter and their ‘Bag of the month subscription’,<br />
we’re sure we’d be in a much more positive mindset for the full 12 months.<br />
So, while you can’t put a price on happiness, for a one-off payment of<br />
$29,000, you’ll receive a handbag a month from brands such as Chloé,<br />
Wandler and BOYY. If a highly coveted handbag collection doesn’t bring a<br />
smile to your face, we just don’t know what will. net-a-porter.com<br />
CHEW THE GOOD FAT<br />
So, you’ve decided it’s time to up the<br />
protein in your diet?<br />
If Fat or Fad? (page 28) has you looking<br />
to augment your diet with more<br />
premium-quality meat, why not sign<br />
up for a regular delivery of the world’s<br />
most expensive meat, wagyu. Known<br />
for its incredible flavour and buttery<br />
tenderness, wagyu gets to be so prized,<br />
and so pricey, because of the work<br />
that goes into rearing the breeds that<br />
produce the marbled delicacy. In Japan,<br />
each calf gets its own birth certificate, a<br />
little jacket to wear when it’s cold, and<br />
is put on a strict diet before qualifying<br />
for the wagyu mark. Some say this<br />
includes beer and regular massages<br />
to relieve stress, so sounds like happy<br />
cows to me. For Japanese wagyu raised<br />
in Canterbury ($140kg) try some<br />

AN EASY PILL TO<br />
SWALLOW<br />
A supplement worth taking.<br />
While there’s nothing<br />
ground-breaking about taking<br />
supplements for your skin and<br />
hair, Lyma is dubbed the first<br />
super supplement with benefits<br />
deemed unrivalled. Patented<br />
ingredients aren’t the only things<br />
that set Lyma supplements apart<br />
from the rest. Your first order of<br />
this brain-fuelling, stress-fighting,<br />
beauty-boosting supplement will<br />
set you back $435, with your<br />
monthly top-up costing a further<br />
$280. The price tag might make<br />
you wrinkle up your face, but the<br />
world’s first solubilised keratin<br />
found in these capsules aims<br />
to smooth them out in just 12<br />
weeks. lyma.life<br />
