With health scares in recent years relating to dengue and the Zika virus, By Invite Only has launched a new mosquito-repellent jewellery range to keep the mozzies away. All pieces from the Yu Ahn Collection are made with allergy free stainless steel chains and parts, and come with a mosquito repellent citronella-infused bead that is non-oily to the touch, safe for babies and children. The Citronella beads are refillable and will last up to 10 days, which makes it a nice change compared to bug sprays that need to be reapplied every 2 to 3 hours!

Who doesn’t get at least a little scared of the dentist? We know we still do. And if that’s the case, what could our kids be feeling?! White&Co. is a brand new dental clinic created to dismiss the mentality that dentists are scary places to be.

The clinic’s furnishings include comfy sofas, a snug rug, paintings and more t0 make you feel right at home. In the treatment room, a flat screen TV with Netflix is installed over the dentist chair for patients to watch their favourite shows! You may think it’ll cost you a pretty penny after hearing about the additional comforts, but you’ll be thrilled to know that White&Co.’s pricing is comparable to other clinics. Plus, for common prosthetics like crowns and implants which will normally require multiple visits, White&Co. has done away with the inconvenience by having a fully functional lab within the clinic!
