The Wend, is a mental wellness solution involving Virtual Reality (VR). ‘Wend’ is a traditional English word meaning to travel in an indirect route to a destination. “The Wend helps you to get to where you want to go, for example, experience the Northern Lights, without having to sacrifice too much – not many people have the luxury of physically being able to get up and go,” smiles Melloney. Through VR people can participate in an immersive 3600 real environment based on nature. By using a headset and real footage you are able to transport yourself to another world of your choosing such as the beach, Mount Everest, or even swimming with dolphins. Your brain perceives the experience as real which allows you to gain the physical benefits. This can be compared to a forced mediation and consequently your body produces antioxidants that rejuvenate you, keeping you healthy and stronger, while increasing your energy levels. “There are all these wonderful environments that can naturally heal you. That kind of gift for people is something that I am extremely passionate about,” says Melloney. The Wend is the first company in South Africa to conceptualise the use of this technology for addressing mental ill health such as depression, stress and anxiety. “We came up with this concept of allowing a person to escape and to use virtual reality as a mental health solution. When we came up with the idea, we were the first in the world in the spa and wellness industry,” she explained. Since then the use of VR has boomed internationally with many other companies offering similar products. The Wend’s evolution is a concept that took hold when Melloney was struggling to overcome the trauma downward spiral of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). She was at a point of desperation, “needing to escape, get strong again and find healing from the inside”, when the appropriateness of this technology occurred to her. Melloney is now offering the medical proven healing therapies and relaxation to the medical industry with the focus on, mental wellness, pain relief, pre/post procedure anxieties, rehabilitation, and many other wellness areas. The products are also available for patients experiencing boredom while having treatments, recovering in hospital, or waiting in doctors’ rooms for scheduled appointments. From a corporate point of view, VR is a wonderful tool for inclusion in an employee wellness programme with a focus on investing in mental health. VR can be used as part of a daily routine as the experience only takes ten to fifteen minutes to get the desired results. This intervention allows employees to lead a happier life at work and at home ensuring that their social interactions are improved and their focus much clearer. With clearer minds employees are able to be more productive and creative. VR videos can also be customised for educational and orientational purposes in a range of different applications, such as hospital tours, staff orientation, team building, and product marketing among other uses. “When you put the headset on you feel the benefits – it is an investment in us as a human race,” concluded Melloney.

You’re probably thinking that the timing of your lease isn’t that important, but if you time it right, you could end up saving money on your monthly payments You’ve done all the research and figured out the finances, now you’re ready to lease a car. You’re probably thinking that the timing of your lease isn’t that important but if you time it right, you could end up saving money on your monthly payments! To understand how this is possible, you need to understand how the amount for the payments in established. When you decide to lease a car, you are making the decision to only keep the car for a limited time (unless you decide to buy it at the end of your lease). However, the value of the car will go down as you use it and this is called depreciation. The business will determine the value of the car and estimate how much it will depreciate in value while you have it, and that is how they calculate the payments you have to make monthly. Instead of paying for the whole value of the car, you are only paying for its value depreciation. Since your payments are based on how valuable the car will still be when your lease is over (residual value), the best thing to do is lease a car that is brand new and has been recently introduced to the market. If you lease the car at its highest value and return it in good condition, it will still have a decent value and be suitable for another lease period or for sale. This fact makes the monthly payments lower for you. Now, as for the best month to lease a car, that is quite easy to answer. The best month to lease a car is December. At the end of the year, companies that deal with sales are pressed to meet their annual targets/goals. Therefore, in December, companies will push very hard to make sales and meet their targets before the year ends. This means there will most likely be price drops, incentives and deals brought forward to draw customers in. Car leasing businesses will have better deals on their leases. If you can manage to lease a car both in December and while the car model is still relatively new, you definitely find yourself saving a fair amount of money on your lease. Just remember that your payments will also depend on how good your credit is too. Click here  to start your application
