Wellness, lived in.
We're Sam and Billy, two of us at a kitchen table in Dubai, writing about the wellness, recovery and fitness gear we actually use day to day, with our son Freddy bouncing somewhere nearby and Luna the Labrador trying to convince us she could absolutely manage one more walk before sunset.
— 01 / what we cover
Four corners of the same picture.
We don't try to cover everything. We write about what we use, what we wish someone had told us before we bought it, and the small details you only spot after a month of living with a thing. Four areas, two voices, no algorithm-chasing.
Sam writes
Wellbeing & recovery, the women's edit
Postpartum, hormones, sleep, mental health for women running businesses, the bits nobody warns you about.
Billy writes
Performance & endurance
Marathons, Hyrox, the recovery kit that survives a Dubai-summer training block, and the supplements actually worth the money.
Both
Sleep, tech & the daily basics
Wearables, mattresses, supplement stacks, the unsexy daily stuff that earns its place when you've got a baby, a job and a labrador.
Dubai diary
Living well in the heat
Hammams, retreats, longevity clinics, and how to keep a labrador alive between May and October.
— 02 / the kit that's earned its place
What we genuinely use.
A live shortlist of the products we keep coming back to. Links go to the brand (or to Amazon US where we don't have a direct affiliate yet).
— 03 / the reviews
What's been on the desk lately.
Each review is what we've actually been using for a few weeks or months, written in whichever of our voices makes more sense.
