I’ve been using a few incredible lifestyle products really that have really changed up my daily routine. Whether for my mindset, productivity, beauty, fashion and more. Luckily, I’m here to give you the tea on my top 10, to ensure these brands and products are on your radar too.

The Positivity Journal by Land of Serenity

I am quite literally OBSESSED with The Positivity Journal by Land of Serenity. For the last few weeks as part of my morning routine, and after I wake up I sit for a minute with some calming music on and fill in the morning section of the page for the current day. This includes writing three things I’m grateful for, coming up with a personal affirmation for the day and getting clear in my mind on three things I want to achieve that day. Then at the end of the day before going to sleep, I fill in the bottom of the page and reflect on the day. I’ve loved looking back at the last few weeks and seeing the positive changes in my life! It’s honestly amazing how such a simple, quick daily task can have such a wonderful effect. Long may it continue!

Tootilab All-Weather Styling Gel

I’ve been trying out two of Tootilab’s products recently, but the All-Weather Styling Gel has to be my favourite. With naturally quite wavy hair, I can do absolutely nothing to it and still see some movement due to its thickness, however, if I do this I often look like I’ve been through a hedge backwards! That’s where Tootilab’s Styling Gel comes in, you apply it straight after your shower on soaking wet hair, give it a little scrunch with your head flipped upside down and let it dry. Not only is the frizz significantly less, but the curls look fantastic!

Be-At-One Be Fabulous Lip Gloss

I’m not usually what I would call a ‘lip gloss girlie’, but I have to say that the Be-At-One Be Fabulous Lip Gloss in the Pink Crush shade has surprised me. I’m a constantly cracked-lip kind of person, but lately, the dry lips have been on their best behaviour, meaning I can wear fun lip colours. I took the plunge and tried Be-At-One’s gloss and I’m now hooked. The Pink Crush shade complements my skin tone and looks great paired with a floaty dress in the sunshine.

Pair it with this adorable DJDF cosmetic bag from Ali Express for maximum summer feels.

The Gym Wear Boutique Flex Bra & Shorts Set

I’ve been searching for a gym wear or fitness shorts and bra set for what feels like an eternity. So when I came across The Gym Wear Boutique Flex Bra and Shorts Set, I was intrigued. Whilst looking for the perfect set, I always felt like there weren’t enough vibrant colour options, or that something about the cut would be off - often the bra rather than the shorts. I’m also a big fan of a sexy back, whether a top or a bra, so I knew this set by The Gym Wear Boutique is definitely a bit of me.

After using this wonderful purple set multiple times for pilates and breath work, it’s safe to say this set is a dream. It’s comfy, affordable and looks great (even a bit sexy with that bra back). Love, love, love.

Forest & Firth Pasque Wallet

I’d been in the market for a new purse for a while, mainly because the velvet pouch I’d been using for 2 years was so falling apart, but also because I wanted what I’d coined ‘an adult purse.’ Something chic, made of leather, but not too bulky (and could potentially fit in a pocket).

After finding Forest & Firth, my prayers (or mumblings of desire) were answered!

I absolutely love the green leather Pasque Wallet for everyday usage and have opted to use the more vibrant yellow leather pouch (The Chiselworth Slim Wallet) as a travel purse. Firstly, as its colour makes it easy to find in a fast-paced travel environment, and secondly because it is only a small zip pouch and I don’t need it full to the brim with things, it’s a great size.

London Nootropics Flow Blend Adaptogenic Coffee

I actually gave up drinking coffee (which was my favourite thing as a working woman) a few months ago, but since have been looking for a good quality adaptogenic coffee alternative. London Nootropics have 3 blends that cater to this need, but I’m the most sold on their Flow blend.

You get all the energy you’d get from a regular coffee, with none of the negative side-effects. It’s a win, win.

ByEllie Brow Shape & Brow Texture

After recently interviewing the founder of ByEllie, Ellie Carlile, I have become even more fascinated with the ByEllie brow products.

Although ByEllie originally started to deliver the world a reliable lip balm after Ellie’s personal story in this space, she soon released two eyebrow products - the Brow Texture and the Brow Shape. I’ve now tried and tested both products and feel like I’m going to be using them both in my life going forwards. As someone who has a self-professed ‘bushy brow’, I want the laminated look, but I don’t want to pay for it.

Fortunately, I now use the Brow Shape at home when I want to set my brows in place for a full day of action. Seriously, they don’t move. I could be in a hurricane and I think they’d still be in place looking fabulous. I then carry the Brow Texture in my handbag, in case I forget or am travelling and don’t want to take the whole pot with me along with the ByEllie lip balm. My brows (and lips) have never looked better.

Milula Studios 2024-2025 Calendar Diary

This was a cheeky little Amazon find when I was desperately searching for a calendar and diary to keep me organised outside of relying on my phone. Suffice it to say, it does the job perfectly. The calendar for 2024 starts in July, so it’s the best time to get your hands on this little life-saver, and it runs to July 2025. My favourite part? It has enough space per day for all of my schedule.

Glow For It Eyelash and Hair Growth Serums

I’m SO excited that I am starting to try the Glow For It Eyelash and Hair Growth serums! I’ve been wanting to try these for ages after some excessive online stalking of people’s videos on social media and speaking to founder, Daisy at the end of last year. Don’t you worry, I am tracking my weekly growth and cannot wait to see the results in full form!

Bare Kind Pastel Animal Socks

Bamboo sock brand Bare Kind has just launched their new pastel range of cute animal socks with 10% of profits being donated to charity. Not only do they look really cute (hello to the otters set in particular), but they’re giving back with every purchase.
