This month, my wellness must-haves have a festive twist! I’m talking party season essentials and a roundup of my favourite festive wellness gifting sets.
The Things Getting Me Through Party Season…
For In Between The Parties… I am a longstanding fan of Leapfrog Remedies, having been first introduced to their immunity support supplement that has helped shield me from many a cold, so I was excited to try their new product, SNOOZE. The latest in their exclusive selection of biohacking supplements, SNOOZE contains alpha-casozepine – inspired by the soothed state of a baby after feeding, it harnesses the calming benefits of milk in supplement form. Patented as Lactium®, this natural hydrolysate reduces cortisol levels and attaches to GABAA receptors in the nervous system (side note – this is exactly what diazepam and valium do) – but with SNOOZE you don’t have to endure any of the side effects of chemical drugs. It is essential for anyone who wants to make sure that when they get an opportunity for a good night’s sleep – that they make the most of it and feel their best upon waking.
For Luscious Hair + Brows… Great, healthy looking and feeling hair is never not going to be ‘in’ and Natucain delivers in spades if you’re looking to get locks as luscious as Jennifer Anniston’s. But not just for your hair, this brand also has products that enhance growth for your brows and lashes too.100% hormone and hormone derivative free, 100% vegan, 100% natural origin ingredients and never tested on animals, Natucain patented formula, MKMS24, is a complex active ingredient made from bamboo, lentil and thyme, which releases its highly potent effectiveness through a biochemical process. These ingredients directly stimulate hair growth by targeting the root. Worth the investment in our books.
My favourite gifting sets…
This limited edition Christmas set includes a full-size night mask, Depuff & Define contouring eye rescue, and the iconic Cleanse & Clarify cleanser. Founded by Dr. Maryam Zamani, MZ Skin has become the cult skincare brand, clinically proven to deliver visible results. £200 (worth £368)
Aromatherapy Associates Mini Moment Deep Relax
I don’t think I have done a Christmas in years where I have not gifted at least a few of Aromatherapy Associates heaven-sent (and heaven-scent) products. This little tree ornament is truly divine and a perfect price point for juj-ing (god knows how you spell that word – if you know please DM me) up presents by tying it to the outside ribbon. £12
Give the gift of great skin with this Tat Harper set – one of our favourite brands here at Hip & Healthy, Tata Harper was one of the main pioneers of the farm-to-face obsession, which means you’re getting as close to naturally-grown ingredients, and a transparent process as you can get. Supernatural and super effective you really can’t go wrong with Tata. £100
Made for the eco-warrior and beauty lover alike, FOAMIE has put all its bestsellers in one box.
