This month, take the bull by the horns and approach this new year differently from any before. Self-care should be the focus. Being kind to yourself is the motivation. If you can, take time to appreciate the smallest of things. Getting out into nature, even if it is only within your 5k, can help boost your mood and your energy levels.

Today, fashion and lifestyle brand Hush launches its new activewear collection (pictured above). Featuring cool prints, the collection is designed with a real focus on sustainable techno-fabrics that are breathable, sculpting and quick drying: paper, recycled polyester, Econyl (a regenerated nylon created from recycled fishing nets, industrial plastic and recycled fabrics) and Tencel modal (made from sustainably-sourced beech wood using an environmentally responsible pulp-to-fibre process). We love the star-print running jacket that has a reflective trim for enhanced visibility in the dark; www.hush-uk.com.

Also launching today is & Other Stories’ new yoga collection, made from sustainably sourced materials, in conjunction with The Black Women’s Yoga Collective (the collective is dedicated to increasing access to, and representation in wellness for underserved communities, especially Black women). The brand is also offering a free class with this group of amazing yoginis linked here.

On the home front, Gym + Coffee stocks good-quality hoodies and beanies for frosty morning runs. Irish-owned Peachylean.com specialises in leggings with pockets in sizes ranging from XS to XXXL. Following post-natal depression and losing five stone, founder Sharon Keegan was compelled to help other women find supportive, flattering, good quality gym wear. Her mission is to change the perception of what a healthy, fit, body looks like. Grown Clothing is great for organic cotton layers and plants a tree for each piece sold. Leyo was founded in Galway by mother and daughter team Leah Tiernan and Orla Moore. Their mission is to create easy, understated, fashionable yoga wear.
