During the holiday season, marked by festive celebrations and increased social gatherings involving drinking, many adults experience "hangxiety"—a combination of hangover symptoms and heightened anxiety the next day—and to help with this, Vietnamese restaurant group Pho opened the doors to the Pho-Fix pop-up.
This free-to-attend pop-up in London offers remedies for party-season hangovers, and Pho will be giving away more than 700 bowls of Pho and over 700 restorative juices on a first-come, first-served basis. Naturally, the hearty noodle soup is rich in antioxidants and vitamins, and it's plentiful in comforting qualities too.
As well as nourishing the body, the Pho-Fix pop-up helps people invest in their wellness with eye gels and hydration masks from skincare brand Patcholoy and IV drips courtesy of Effect Doctors.
