The new Chinese Lifestyle is found in the old times: materials from the nature, crafts excelled through generations, exquisite taste disguised in simplicity ... if only we can slow down and take the time to appreciate the most ordinary things in life, to appreciate beauty.

An interesting read about the quest to find more sustainable, environmental friendly fabric and materials.

Bio-based materials, lab grown proteins, spider web inspired fibers ... these seemingly whimsical ideas and creations are finding their ways from sci-fi movies into real life. Perhaps still a long way to go till they can 'replace' plastic, but these are inspirations and learning processes we need to move forward.

Biomaterials companies are using new materials to create high-performance textiles — without plastic.

We can not talk about sustainable lifestyle without thinking about food! This article might be interesting to read, no matter you are wellness professionals or simply someone who seeks more healthy diet!

Leaving the age-reversing aspects aside, what we like about reading articles like this is the thought process it inspires - eat fresh, natural whole foods and be mindful what they do to our body and mind.

This year, the key to a youthful appearance does not lie not in the beauty aisle, but on your plate.

There is no better time than NOW to think about sustainable businesses. I came across this article while doing some market research for a new consulting project, where my client, with 25+ years experience in fitness business, is already thinking in new directions for their new franchise.

During our initial discussions, I learned that the 3 years covid situation has caused a series of shut down of gyms and fitness centers in China, even chain brands with dominate market share couldn't survive.

While we can easily put the most blame on Covid, it goes without saying that some businesses were just not built in the right way and when market was 'good' nobody wanted to give it a second thought.

And now the 'happy hours' are over, businesses will need to think more about sustainability and resilience more than ever. Assuming that some old way of doing business is just gone forever.

Time to think, what will the future bring us, and what can we bring to the future?

Finding the right 2024 fitness trends to follow can often be a struggle for businesses. Luckily for you, we have them all right here.

Are business consultants becoming event organizers?

These days our business consultancy happens a lot outside the offices and boardrooms. Creativity and unique experiences are becoming more important than ever for our clients who want to generate new values for their end-customers.

In one of our recent events we put together a half day Art Soiree for a high end residence hotel in Beijing, including Chinese tea ceremonies, classic music instruments, incense ceremonies and guided art exhibit, along with a sparkling & wine party. It was such a unique experience, everybody had a great time!

The event was so popular that we were invited to organize a series of follow up events for not only the hotel but also the next door shopping malls and office buildings.
Seems a little creativity goes a long way, now more than ever.

Being a sustainable business consultant today is all about creating unforgettable experiences for your customers to make sure they keep coming back for more.

To do this we take the time to build a profound knowledge and understanding of your passion, values and products, so that we can design creative, effective ways to convey these messages to your target customers.

In this case we designed Know Your Aroma salon events for a local brand 3 Days Weekend, where we introduce the concept of 100% natural scented soy candles, the composition of different aromas and the benefits of using them in the right way to improve your wellbeing. We even help design DIY experiences so customers can get hands on and create their own versions. This has helped us build a community of people who are interested in natural products and love to have something unique.

We believe it’s time to go beyond the products, and think about experiences! This is exactly what we specialize in - tailor made, personalized services and experiences based on VALUES!

Stay tuned for more news from us.
