i-D magazine is like a cool friend who wears Isabel Marant and Zadig & Voltaire and has a very fresh attitude towards fashion and life in general. I bought a winter issue because I loved the cover and realised that there were quite a few articles suitable for reading and digesting rather than just swallowing like a sugar-overloaded ice-cream.
Most importantly, the entire issue was dedicated to health and that vital holistic the body + the mind connection. And let me tell you that the result was beyond beautiful and inspirational!
Here’s a (long) quote from i-D’s “The greatest wealth is health” article that I would like to share with you. Absorb it with every cell of your body and make it your new year motto because, after all, nothing is more beautiful than you and the way you feel inside.
“Health is eight hours of sleep. Health is jumping out of bed. Health is the sun in the sky. Health is five-a-day. Health is nuts, seeds and pulses. Health is a smoothie, Health is a brisk stroll. Health is a gentle jog. Health is touching the sky. Health is touching your toes. Health is spreading your wings. Health is not worrying about health. Health is eight glasses of water a day. Health is feeling good about yourself frim the inside out. Health is shiny skin and glossy hair. Health is dark chocolate. Health is a glass of red wine with your meal. Health is a little of what you fancy does you good. Health is fresh air. Health is climbing the tree. Health is not climbing the walls. Health is a spring in your step. Health is laughing out loud. Health is singing at the top of your lungs. Health is a natural high. Health is good friends and family. Health is a state of mind. Health is not a luxury. Health is a human right. Health is global. Health is social. Health is a lottery. Health is an investment for the future. Health is private. health is happiness. Health is what you make of it.”
