Shopping guide
WATSONS
In partnership with local social movement Active Health, the healthcare and beauty chain has opened its first health-concept store Watsons Health@Heartbeat, designed to provide an integrated platform where customers can adopt a proactive approach towards their well-being and health with greater ease.
Housed in Heartbeat@Bedok (#01-08/09/10), one of the largest integrated complexes in Singapore, it spans more than 2,000 sq ft, with more than half its space focusing on three key categories - health and fitness, sports nutrition and homecare, mobility and rehabilitation.
Featuring a Watsons pharmacist and Fullerton Health general practitioner under one roof, the store also brings together the first Active Health Discovery, an interactive area for people to learn about managing physical activity, screen time, sleep and nutrition.
ONEKM MALL
The mall has launched The Green Collective, Singapore's first green lifestyle pop-up.
From now to July, more than a dozen local eco-brands have teamed up for a multi-brand concept store (#01-26/27) on the first storey.
Visitors can look forward to promotional prices on selected retail items and take part in workshops where they get to create their own eco-products - from soaps and upcycled textiles to handcrafted necklaces.
The sustainable products on offer range from the essential (unpackaged food) to the unique (handmade handicrafts and vegan apparel).
Shoppers should come prepared with reusable shopping bags and containers, as there will be no single-use plastic bags available.
NESCAFE
To inspire Singaporeans to lead healthier lifestyles and reduce their sugar intake, global coffee brand Nescafe has unveiled two improved variants - Nescafe Original Less Sugar ($5.75/ 3-in-1 mix) and Zero Sugar Added ($5.75/2-in-1 mix)- that have been awarded the Healthier Choice Symbol.
Packed in compact and convenient sachets, these variants allow coffee lovers with hectic lifestyles to enjoy a healthier cup of fragrant beverage.
Both variants come in packs of 35 sachets, but Less Sugar's sachets weigh 15g each while Zero Sugar Added's sachets are lighter at 9g each.
