Things that have been making the winter months a little easier on the soul 🌚💡

1) Hanging some new art pieces & refreshing our space! The ones in this video were sourced via @wallofartcom who curate high quality prints from artists all over the world (that are v affordable!)🫶🏼

2) Getting back into reading! I’m using the gloomy afternoons as excuse to curl up with a book rather than making myself feel guilty for a multitude of things. Reading is always such a joy but I find it hard to completely switch off! 🤨

3) Using our @lumie.lights alarm clock has been a real game changer when it comes to the dark mornings. Why punish yourself with the iPhone alarm sound when you can choose birdsong and an accompanying sunrise? 🤪

It also doubles up as a lamp + a radio/speaker which is very handy indeed!

4) Making more time for self care, whatever that happens to look like! Whether it’s a face mask, a long bath, drinking more water, going for a walk when I’m feeling anxious & overwhelmed (the list goes on…)

5) Lighting candles as soon as it gets dark! It makes the flat feel like a cosy French bistro 🕯️🍝

6) Rewatching Mad Men! I first watched it many moon ago so I’d forgotten a lot of the plot lines. Peggy will always be my number 1 but Roger Sterling’s quick witted one liners are providing instant serotonin… 😎🥃

Thanks for the perfect cut + colour as always @melissasalons! We kept it s a little bit lighter than usual so it’s closer to my natural hair colour & less of a wash out on my pale winter skin 🍯

Some staples on my bathroom shelf 🪷 @chanel.be

Some staples on my bathroom shelf 🪷

@chanel.beauty la mousee (one of the only foaming cleansers I love!)

@elemis collagen cleansing balm (I’ve been through countless tubs of this beautiful stuff)

@ceraveuki cleansers (some of the best affordable cleansers! Whilst it’s winter, I have the gentle oil & blemish prone ones on rotation).

@biodermauk micellar water (great for my sensitive skin, never without this!)

Face masks on rotation: my most repurchased masks are by @kiehls, @skinceuticals & @tatcha.

@kiehls calendula toner & @tatcha essence (so great when I get out of the shower as the first step in my skincare routine!)

@necessaire body lotion + oil (one of my favourite body-care brands, so so great for sensitive skin).

@biossance squalane oil (addicted to this stuff!)

@fur_you (holy grail for post shaving, keeps skin silky smooth + prevents irritation).

@omorovicza queen of hungary facial mist (a very beautiful, luxurious feeling mist!)

@beautypie hydrating eye patches (I like to put these on when I’m in the bath as a little extra self care moment)

@tan_luxe gradual tan lotion + @utanofficial cbd facial mist (these two are my saving grace when it comes to looking alive during the winter months!)

& more perfume than one human needs (that I really need to sort through 👀)…
