Swisse celebrates World Wellness Day and the chance to win a $1,000 Luxury Escapes gift card
This World Wellness Day, Swisse is flipping the script on romance with a new 'love language', and you can win a $1,000 luxury holiday just by showing someone you care.
It's official: the bar for romance in 2025 has been raised. Or more accurately, redefined.
Thanks to new research from Swisse Wellness, Australians are swapping love notes for vitamin reminders, and it turns out we're kind of into it.
To celebrate World Wellness Day (Saturday June 14), Swisse introduced a fresh take on how we express love and no, it didn't involve overpriced roses or last-minute dinner bookings.
The new name of the game? Acts of Wellness, a sixth love language inspired by the iconic five, but with a functional twist.
Backed by research revealing that 73 per cent of Aussies already see caring for someone's wellbeing as a top-tier romantic gesture, Swisse is leading a movement that makes everyday support feel just as special as candlelit dinners.
Think of it as love, but with practical perks and maybe a B vitamin or two.
This shift isn't just cute, it's backed by data. According to a survey commissioned by Swisse, over 90 per cent of Australians define wellness as way more than just juice cleanses and morning jogs.
And 87 per cent of us are already the unofficial health manager in our relationships, booking doctor appointments, suggesting magnesium for sore muscles, or sneakily replacing their third coffee with a calming tea.
To put it all into practice, Swisse has matched each traditional love language with a wellness-led counterpart.
Here's your cheat sheet:
Physical touch? Say hello to Magnesium Glycinate, the supplement that keeps cuddles cramp-free.
Words of affirmation? Pair them with Focus Nootropics so your compliments hit sharper than ever.
Quality time? Make it more present with Ashwagandha Calm+, for stress-free hangouts.
Gift giving? Try Swisse's HA Water Cream — it's skincare with main character energy.
Acts of service? Don't underestimate the power of Vitamin D Gummies and a reminder to stretch.
Acts of wellness? Zinc+, for that daily immune boost that keeps everyone in your circle healthy.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
It's the kind of love language that doesn't need a big declaration.
It looks like handing someone a supplement before their morning meeting or Googling ' natural remedies for bloating ' at 1 am, because they mentioned it in passing.
According to psychologist Carly Dober, who partnered with Swisse for this campaign, those small but thoughtful actions are what real care looks like in 2025.
'In relationships, these daily gestures often go unnoticed, but they're deeply validating,' she says. 'They're proof someone's paying attention.'
Because, let's face it, love expressed through wellness still deserves a little luxury on the side.
So, this World Wellness Day, maybe skip the red roses.

Social media ban for children is ‘destined to fail' unless parents address their own smart phone addiction, pyschologist warns
Australia is just six months away from bringing in a world-leading law to ban children under 16 from social media but experts say more needs to be done before it comes into effect. Psychologist Danielle Einstein, who briefed the draft legislation for the ban, was on Weekend Sunrise on Saturday to address how it could work. Previously Einstein warned the ban would 'fail miserably' unless the federal government tackles screen addiction first. 'We need a few different things. First of all, we need doctors and psychologists asking patients when they come in with mental health issues about their tech use,' she told Weekend Sunrise. 'It should just be part of normal conversation — 'let's have a look, how many hours were you on here?' 'It's a part of the way we are trying to handle ourselves, and if someone has anxiety and depression, and you miss it because it's not seen as alright to ask about it and the doctors are embarrassed or if the patient makes it seem as if it's not OK (for asking).' Einstein said she didn't mean doctors had to go into extreme detail of how a person uses social media and technology but said conversations around tech use needed to be a part of a 'digital health check' in the same way doctors use a suicide screening. She also said a big public health campaign would be needed to 'expose the addictive' nature of social media and the corresponding health effects it may have on Australians. 'Both students and parents may realise that this isn't actually healthy for them,' Einstein said. For parents wondering what to do now, before the ban is imposed, Einstein encouraged adults to lead by example and cut back on their own technology use. 'The most important thing a parent can do is model,' she said. 'Parents need to be aware of what we do when we walk into the house (or when) at the dinner table: 'Do I have a phone that's near me?'' Einstein said using phones during arguments between parents to show the other person they were wrong had also become common practice but this could be easily stopped if phones are put out of sight. Despite the potential difficulties with executing the ban, Einstein said the federal government's decision to prevent harm to young Australian's should be looked at as a 'tremendous success' as other countries look to follow our example. 'We are leading the world, and we should be very proud of that,' Einstein said. 'Around the world, we've seen people wake up and start to question tech use. 'In Spain, there are paediatric guidelines coming out to show children from zero to six shouldn't have technology, aside for supervised use.' The social media ban for children under 16 years old is expected to come into effect in December 2025. The ban was first announced by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese last year, who said he was 'calling time on it' due to a number of tragic deaths relating to bullying on social media. But there is yet no guarantee technologies aimed at blocking young kids from social media will always work, according to early trial results. While the early findings of a federal government-commissioned trial found age assurance technologies are available, there's no silver bullet. 'Age assurance can be done in Australia and can be private, robust and effective,' the report found. 'We found a plethora of approaches that fit use cases in different ways. 'But we did not find a single ubiquitous solution that would suit all use cases, nor did we find solutions that were guaranteed to be effective in all deployments.' Under the social media ban, platforms will have to take reasonable steps to prevent under-16s from creating new accounts and could face millions in fines for systemic breaches of the new rules. Cabinet minister Murray Watt maintained the need for restrictions around social media. 'The Australian people believe that we do need to see some restrictions around social media use when it comes to young people,' he told ABC News on Friday. 'Unfortunately, it has become an insidious force, both for young people and more widely.' Australia's ban is world-leading and, in the aftermath of the November passage of federal laws, other nations indicated a desire to emulate the measure. However, the legislation does not indicate how exactly the ban will be executed. The report found parental control and consent systems could be effective when first introduced. But there is 'limited evidence' that they would be effective as children grow up or allow kids the right to participate in the breadth of digital experiences. Even after the coalition helped secure an amendment to ensure Australians wouldn't have to provide any form of government identification to verify their age, the trial found there was a risk of privacy breaches. Some age assurance service providers had over-anticipated the needs of regulators and built tools that led to an 'unnecessary and disproportionate collection and retention of data'. Opposition communications spokeswoman Melissa McIntosh has urged Labor to confirm what technology or verification tools will be used to protect kids online. 'No more young lives can be lost or families destroyed because of the toxicity of social media,' she said in a statement. The Age Assurance Technology Trial's final report is expected to be published later in 2025.

Gen Z urged to not neglect dental care once they leave home
As house prices and cost-of-living pressures delay young Australians from moving out, a growing number of parents are left with the burden of covering the essentials - including dental care - for much longer than expected. Parents need to keep dental care on the radar even after their children turn 18, especially when those children are still living at home. As a dentist, I see far too many young adults fall through the cracks once they leave high school. Regular dental visits, once booked by parents, paid for, and prioritised, suddenly disappear from the calendar. At a time when young people are navigating new independence, study stress, and tighter budgets, oral health often becomes an afterthought. But it shouldn't be. Dental care must be treated like any other essential, right alongside GP check-ups, mental health support, and nutrition. MORE OPINION: How different would Australians feel if the system was behind them? The consequences of neglect are often invisible at first, but they build slowly - decay, gum disease, jaw issues, and costly emergencies that could have been prevented with a simple clean and check-up. Before kids move out, parents should make sure that dental health is part of the transition plan. Book that last appointment. Start the conversation. Help them understand that just because their teeth look fine doesn't mean they are fine. Of course, the transition to adulthood doesn't come with perfect hygiene habits but you often see adults in their forties present with problems that could've been prevented in their teens. A University of Melbourne study published in March revealed once people reach the age of 15 to 20, a significant drop in dental visits occurred. Researchers tracked more than 11,000 people over several years and found many patients didn't return once they became independent, and often for years. The pattern seen here in Australia isn't isolated. A previous study from New Zealand reported a similar drop in regular dental visits among young working-age adults. These findings are consistent with patterns commonly seen in this age group, shaped by time pressures, financial stress and the false belief that you only need a dentist when something hurts. There's a belief that healthy-looking teeth don't need attention, which means too many people are missing the potential early signs of decay and gum disease. Changes in daily routines - moving out of the family home, taking on study and full-time work often marks the beginning of the decline in dental care. Once children are out on their own, and in charge of their own health insurance, the health safety net can disappear. If you're a young adult reading this, remember, your health isn't on hold just because life got busier. By the time pain shows up, treatment can be complex and more expensive. The solution? Reconnecting oral health with the broader wellness narrative Gen Z already embraces. We talk a lot about mental fitness, skin care, and gut health - teeth need to be part of that conversation.

Shoppers are racing to buy Aussie collagen brand Calmerceuticals that sells one every minute
There's a collagen craze happening across Australia right now and it's not just another influencer trend. One homegrown brand is causing a serious stir in the beauty world, selling one product every minute and struggling to keep up with demand. Meet Calmerceuticals, the inner-beauty brand that's winning over Aussies, scientists and skincare lovers alike. Behind it is Rose Rayner, a beauty entrepreneur who spent more than seven years in deep research mode, building a collagen formula from the ground up. After trying countless supplements with big promises and little science, Rose took matters into her own hands and the result is what the brand calls one of the most scientifically backed formulas on the market. Her hero product, the VERISOL® Enhanced Marine Collagen, is already a cult favourite, thanks to its visible results and high dose of bioavailable ingredients. Each $95 box contains 14 ready-to-drink sachets (with 10,000 mg of collagen peptides per serve), and customers say it's helped improve everything from skin firmness to nail strength and glow. The secret is a unique blend of VERISOL® F collagen peptides (proven to reduce wrinkle depth by up to 70 per cent), Cultavit® B-complex for healthy hair and nails, plus skin-loving actives like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and polyphenol antioxidants. The brand says the formula is designed to survive digestion and actually reach your bloodstream, which is a major difference from other powders and collagen pills that often go to waste. It comes in two fruity flavours, Wild Berry or Mango & Mandarin and you can buy either 14 or 28 sachets at a time, depending on how committed you are. For those after a more instant skin fix, the brand's Deep Hydrating Collagen Facemask is also a major hit. At $69 for a pack of five, it's a luxe hydrogel treatment that visibly plumps, hydrates and brightens your face in just 20 minutes. The biodegradable formula is gentle yet powerful, blending hydrolysed collagen with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid and botanical extracts. It helps even out skin tone, reduce pigmentation, smooth texture, and calm any redness. Perfect before an event or as a Sunday night ritual, the mask has become a go-to for many who want their skin to look dewy, fresh and firm without piling on makeup. What sets Calmerceuticals apart is its clinical credibility. Rose worked with Australian scientists for nearly a decade to test and refine her formula, benchmarking it against market leaders and proving its results through independent trials. In fact, her work has even landed her in Forbes, and the brand has caught the eye of US investors as it plans a global expansion into salons, Amazon Australia and more. Demand is skyrocketing, especially as winter dries out our skin and we all look for more effective ways to glow. Whether you're a beauty minimalist or a skincare obsessive, Calmerceuticals is shaping up to be one of the most trusted (and best-selling) names in collagen right now.
