Abel &amp; Cole’s story starts in 1988 with Keith Abel flogging potatoes door-to-door. ‘Of course potatoes are organic,’ he thought, ‘they’re vegetables’. However, he quickly discovered how unnecessarily complicated our food system had become and, consequently, realised the huge benefits of going organic and never looked back. In fact, Abel &amp; Cole still get veg from the farm where Keith's first organic spuds came from. 
To this day, their priorities remain the same. Now, selling 100% organic produce, Abel &amp; Cole believe that organic farming (a holistic system that encourages biodiversity) is the very best way to go. It protects our countryside and the critters that inhabit it, insists on the very best animal welfare, supports your local community and, frankly, tastes heaps better. Abel &amp; Cole think so anyway.

If something&rsquo;s going to happen, it&rsquo;s gonna happen, no matter what you do.&#39;&#39;I was real, real bad. You know what made it worse? Motherf*ckers would tell my mother that I did something, and she just wouldn&rsquo;t believe them. "Not my Christopher", she would say.&#39;&#39;I&rsquo;m really no different than anybody else, I say grow from your mistakes and hopefully you can stand the repercussions.&#39;

A Fresh Approach to Self-Care, Healing & Empowerment

Katie Brindle

The concept of self-care is, in fact, thousands of years old. This buzzword is rooted in a 2,500-year old Chinese philosophy. &lsquo;Yang sheng&rsquo; means to nourish life &ndash; fostering your own health and wellbeing by nurturing body, mind and spirit.In this book, Katie Brindle teaches readers how to harness this powerful natural healing system to improve every aspect of their life.Yang Sheng fits and works brilliantly in modern life. Some of the techniques may seem unusual, but they are all simple, quick and effective. Even more appealing, a key principle of Chinese medicine is balance; that means not being perfect or excluding foods or having too many rules or pushing yourself to exhaustion with overwork or over-exercise. And so, Yang Sheng encourages you to have the green juice and the glass of wine, a full-on day at work and a night out dancing.For people who are overtired and overtaxed, stressed, lacking a sex drive, or who feel anxious or hopeless, the practice of Yang sheng restores balance. Our bodies are designed to self-heal &ndash; Yang Sheng knows the mechanics of how to activate this.

Pocket Frida Kahlo Wisdom is an inspiring collection of some of her best quotes on love, style, life, art and more, and celebrates the Mexican icon&#39;s immense legacy.Frida Kahlo is undoubtedly one of the most innovative and influential painters of the 20th century and is widely considered a style icon thanks to her eclectic taste and love for colour, print and hauls of jewellery. From a young age, Kahlo forged her own path, overcoming polio as a child, and stoically battling the after-effects of a tragic road accident that left her with lifelong injuries.Some quotes from Frida Kahlo:&ldquo;Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light.&rdquo;&ldquo;The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.&rdquo;&ldquo;I must fight with all my strength so that the little positive things that my health allows me to do might be pointed toward helping the revolution. The only real reason for living.&rdquo;&ldquo;I am my own muse, I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to know better.&rdquo;

Thinking, Living and Working More Creatively

Rod Judkins

Everyone wants to be more creative. Being creative makes life more fun and interesting. But many believe the common misconception that creativity is something you are born with and others can only envy.In Change Your Mind, Rod Judkins reveals that &lsquo;creative&rsquo; people are no more creative than the rest of us. Rather, their gift is that they believe they are creative, and because of this, they are. Many of these people lack traditional artistic abilities (Francis Bacon couldn&rsquo;t draw, so he didn&rsquo;t; Andy Warhol couldn&rsquo;t paint, so he didn&rsquo;t) but that doesn&rsquo;t stop them. This self-belief accounts for 90 per cent of their success. Creativity is a skill that everyone can learn and benefit from, whether you&rsquo;re trying to start your own business, write music, come up with new ideas at work or just change your way of looking at the world.Follow theses 57 insider tips, which include nuggets of wisdom such as the importance of focus, why you should never wait for inspiration and how you should always turn a failure into success. With real-life insights into the minds of writers, artists and musicians, from Picasso to Paul McCartney, Change Your Mind will unlock the creative genius you always knew you were.

&lsquo;Confidence is like a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger it gets.&rsquo; &ndash; Anon Confidence is a key asset in life - from presentations at work to first dates, there are so many situations where a little confidence goes a&#160;long way. With tips on job interviews, body language and making a great first impression, I Want to Be Confident contains straightforward, well-researched advice to improve anyone&rsquo;s confidence and self-esteem. Harriet Griffey identifies what it takes to improve confidence and offers practical tips on embracing our social and working lives and approaching our personal and professional relationships more positively, and in a way that authentically reflects who we are and what we want to achieve. In today&rsquo;s virtual, social networking world, there is a downside: online rather than personal interaction is creating a climate of social awkwardness and a lack of social confidence, particularly among young people. If we don&rsquo;t demonstrate our abilities or show our unique qualities, it&rsquo;s difficult to be confident about them. We need to practise to improve our confidence.
