3. Take a break with 'Deepak Chopra's Mindful Method'
If you've been looking to pick up meditation or mindfulness practices—and you have a Fitbit—you'll be thrilled to know of the brand's latest offering. Fitbit has teamed up with world-renowned mindfulness expert Deepak Chopra to develop and create an exclusive wellness collection for Fitbit Premium members. 'Deepak Chopra's Mindful Method' features both audio and video sessions led by Chopra himself. They're less than 20 minutes each, so there's no excuse for "no time". More importantly, it's essential, especially right now, to help relieve stress, anxiety and sadness. There are 10 audio and video sessions at launch, including guided meditations, pre-sleep sessions, and techniques to improve a positive outlook. More will be added in the coming months.
You can find Deepak Chopra's Mindful Method on the Discover tab in the Fitbit app.

5. The Poet is the Poem: Malaysian Sign Language Poetry
When: 6pm - 7.30pm, 26 Feb
Where: Facebook Live

Poetry, by nature, is beautiful, be it muttered under quiet breaths or recited aloud with emotion. The British Council's Connections Through Culture (CTC) grant takes it on another level while highlighting the beauty of Malaysian Sign Language. Tune in to the virtual event to catch the premiere of Walls, a poem film in Bahasa Isyarat Malaysia (BIM—or Malaysian Sign Language—by Anthony Chong. The film will be accompanied by an English translation by multimedia poet, Sheena Baharudin. The project also resulted in a potential teaching methodology using poetry and other creative signing literary forms to support the education of d/Deaf people in Malaysia.
6. Stay in and order vegan meats for a change
You've probably heard of Beyond Meat and the latest arrival in Malaysia, Omnimeat (and its meat-free luncheon strips). For a change of scenery (or should we say, palates), why not give it a try at home? Sceptical? We reviewed three places/brands to get these vegan meats for your kind consideration.

7. When was the last time you took care of your feet?
It's time to put our foot down on foot care. From cracked heels to peeling toes and *ehem* quite possibly some questionable smells, a little neglect could easily leave your feet in poor conditions. If you're not heading out this weekend, why not give them some TLC with our guide?
