Rejuvenate Your Skin
As skin is the largest organ in your body, it requires dedicated and specific attention. By using the right products, the chore of exfoliating and moisturising becomes an indulgent self-care ritual, something to look forward to and enjoy.

For a truly relaxing and remedial experience, Addition Studio's bath soak is your go-to. Its aromatic essential oils and purifying clays will relieve muscle tension and stress, and leave your skin soft and smooth.
The perfect complementary treatment to the bath soak, Addition Studio's body scrub invigorates and energises like nothing else. Its blue cypress and macadamia oil is a gorgeous treat for the senses.
Every Moment Matters.
Small moments, like applying your favourite hand moisturiser, can offer a brief moment of escape and induce a sense of luxury. The feeling of soft skin, accompanied by an intoxicating aroma, can completely change your mood for the better.
Jem says...
This conveniently sized hand balm from Leif is both a tactile and aromatic experience. Combining the the calming scent of Buddha Wood with the smokiness of Sandalwood, this cream is smoky & meditative.
Appealing Aromas
Have you ever walked into a room and immediately felt at peace? It's most likely scent had a role to play in adjusting your mood. The power of fragrance is often overlooked, yet it's incredibly power and one of the more passive ways to bring calm and rest into your day-to-day.
Jem says...
This aroma diffuser from Meraki will fill any space with the mild and sensual scent of a Scandinavian Garden. Packaged in an amber glass bottle, this piece both smells and looks incredible.
Wipe Away The Day
An essential part of every daily skincare routine is the effective removal of the day's makeup. Removing cosmetics, impurities, and dirt from your skin helps reduce irritation, and allows your skin to breathe and rejuvenate.
Jem says...
These aloe vera scented make-up removing wipes from Meraki are both gentle and effective. The colourful and bright pack contains 20 wipes, can be used with all skin types, and is fab for on-the-go.
Tea For The Taste Buds
Tea has long been considered beneficial for the body. It's a great source of antioxidants, and may assist with digestion whilst boosting the immune system. But beyond these physical aspects, there's much comfort to be gained from a warm cup of tea. It's the perfect wind-down accompaniment, something to help soothe the day's stress and anxiety away.
Jem says...
Named "Tiny Kingdom", this organic Early Grey tea from Emeyu is truly one of a kind. Packaged in a biodegradable cotton tea bag, it contains aromatic Italian bergamot oil to help relax the senses.
