    This sweet image, taken by South African photographer Brent Stirton, shows Itsazo Velez, the director at the Lwiro Primates Rehabilitation Centre in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), introducing two new rescued baby chimps to the juvenile enclosure. This image has helped Stirton earn shortlisted status in the wildlife and nature category. He said: 'The chimps will be closely monitored by the keepers who live with the juvenile and baby chimps 24/7 in their enclosure and at night in their night dormitory. These chimps are all rescues and come from the bushmeat trade in DRC after their mothers were killed for bushmeat. The babies are often taken for sale and sometimes for pets. As a result, many of these chimps have lived lives of isolation, suffering and cruelty'

Aromatherapy eye pillow from Bodha

Aromatherapy Eye-Pillow - Marle Cashmere by Bodha

The eye pillow is deceiving. It just … sits there. Ah, that is the beauty of it. An eye pillow requires you to settle down while lying on your back — all the better to enjoy deep, relaxing breaths.

It has just enough heft to it that it feels a bit like a weighted blanket for your face.

And just like that, you are halfway to a nap or a great night’s sleep.
