Wellness Investments I Highly Recommend
Day-to-day there are a few things I really value having at home that make a huge difference to my wellbeing. Over the years I’ve bought some things that were a disappointment, or not practical, so I wanted to share the things that were well worth the investment that I love and use all the time.
I absolutely adore my Higher Dose Sauna Blanket. In the middle of the pandemic having this helped so much. I got into sea swimming and combining it with this was so invigorating. I lay mine out on my bed and apply a face and hair mask and play a meditation while in it and within 30 minutes I feel as if I have had a whole spa experience in the comfort of my own home.
It soothes aches and pains and I also love that I can fold it away after using so it doesn’t take much space. Constructed with amethyst and tourmaline layers that generate negative ions and offer deep, penetrative far-infrared therapy. Higher Dose have upgraded the model I have and the new Clay layer emits negative ions and balances the heat from the blanket, while the Charcoal layer amplifies the detoxification process. Magnetic therapy helps to improve blood circulation and enhances the invigorating experience.
The low-ELF and low-EMF blanket heats up to increase your body's thermal energy and blood flow so you work up a detoxifying and healing sweat, while relaxing. I absolutely Love mine.

I’m pretty obsessed with my Oura Ring
It has advanced temperature sensors which allow it to detect changes happening inside my body, sometimes, even before I notice it myself. At a time when I was very run down and ended up getting sick it showed up in the personalised insights so I’ll watch them even more carefully moving forward, especially the readiness score.
Good health starts with great sleep, and through my Oura Ring I noticed how eating later at night was affecting how long it took me to get to sleep and the sleep quality and I’ve been able to make changes as a result.
Every morning on the app it gives me three simple scores: Readiness, Sleep, and Activity all via a convenient pretty cool ring.

As a suggestion - if you have a few friends also wanting to invest - share the ring sizer kit between you to save on shipping and plastic waste.
Eco Friendly Comfy Gear is essential. When it comes to pjs, basic TShirts and underwear Stripe And Stare is one of my favourite brands.
As well as their playful prints, are that they’re made from TENCEL™ Modal, an amazing eco-friendly fabric made with wood pulp from sustainable tree farms. Every 5 minutes 10,000 fashion items end up in landfill. Stripe and Stare knickers are 95% biodegradable so when you are finished you can put them in the compost - they’re also incredibly comfy. All their packaging is 100% biodegradable and there’s an option at checkout to go packaging free. For every order placed they plant a mangrove tree in Madagascar.

In particular I wear this set a lot at home.
We all know SPF daily is essential but I don’t like having too many steps so multi-use products are always brilliant. I’ve tried a few natural SPFs but never liked any as much as I love this one by Juice Beauty. It has a lovely amount of coverage and absorbs quickly and also has a range of other benefits to include:
Protects with mineral zinc SPF 30
Reef safe
No chemical sunscreens
Broad spectrum UVA/UVB Protection
Creates a radiant, even, glowing complexion
Rich in antioxidants
Skin perfecting color
Organic ingredients

I’ve tried a range of natural deodorants but love this. The scent is clean and fresh, you can buy a refill easily and as well as being effective it lasts for ages.
Witch hazel closes the pores and tightens the underarm skin, promoting healthy function of the sweat glands and reducing perspiration and the blend of essential oils have a clean, fresh scent I really love.
It’s a natural, science-led formulation is clinically and dermatologically tested that’s cruelty free and vegan.

A simple at-home remedy for water retention is dry brushing. The skin is the body's largest organ so stimulating it can aid circulation, digestion and rejuvenation. Dry Skin Brushing has become part of my morning routine and made such a difference to how I feel overall. I use the Virtue Brush Body brush and love the long handle so I can reach my back. I body brush daily and have a detailed post on how >here<
When I switched to Cruelty-free beauty the last part I was able to change was hair colour. It took a while before I found a product that worked effectively but was also natural. I now go to Davey Davey and get Natulique colour monthly and I maintain it at home with their shampoo & conditioner and colour. The products in the range have a minimum of 95% of the total ingredients from a natural origin.
