With the return of cooler weather, bath season is officially back—and I couldn’t be happier. There’s something so indulgent about a warm, aromatic bath after a long day, and Bramley’s Geranium Uplifting Bath & Body Shower Oil is the perfect addition to my self-care routine. The soothing blend of geranium, lavender, and sweet orange oils makes for a blissful, spa-like experience right at home.

Donna Hay’s New Cookbook: Too Easy
I’m super excited about the release of Donna Hay’s latest cookbook, Too Easy. It promises to revolutionise dinnertime with quick, no-fuss recipes that still deliver on flavour. The book introduces new twists on classic dishes and even includes her first-ever air fryer recipes—perfect for those nights when you want something fast, crispy, and delicious. What I love most is the focus on simplicity: one-pan wonders, pantry staple recipes, and set-and-forget meals that let your oven do the heavy lifting. Whether you’re feeding the family or hosting friends, Donna’s genius tips will keep you calm while delivering big, bold flavours.
Daylesford Wreath-Making Workshop
As the festive season approaches, I’m already thinking about Christmas wreaths. There’s something so satisfying about creating your own christmas decorations, and wreath-making workshops are a tradition I look forward to every year. Daylesford offers a fantastic workshop, and I’m keen to book my spot before tickets sell out. It’s the perfect way to kick off the festive season and get crafty with natural materials, bringing a touch of rustic elegance to your home.
Cheesy Leeks: My New Favorite Side Dish
Now that it’s officially roast season, it’s time to up my side dish game. While I have a deep love for cauliflower cheese, it’s not always the easiest on the stomach… ahem, if you know what I mean! Enter cheesy leeks: a brilliant alternative that gives you all the creamy, cheesy goodness without the slightly stinky and embarrassing side effects. Leeks have a delicate flavour and a softer texture that pairs beautifully with a sharp cheddar sauce. If you’re looking for a crowd-pleasing side that’s just as comforting, cheesy leeks are the way to go.
Fearne & Rosie Limited Edition Pudsey Jam
On the lookout for a healthier jam? Fearne & Rosie’s Limited Edition Pudsey Jam is not only a delicious option but also supports a great cause. Founder Rachel Kettlewell started the brand to offer a lower-sugar alternative to traditional jams, and it has quickly become a favourite for families looking to cut down on sugar without sacrificing flavour. This special edition strawberry jam donates 10p from every sale to BBC Children in Need, making it a perfect addition to your breakfast table while supporting a worthy cause.
Davines MELU Thermal Hair Shield
I recently switched up my hairstyle with some face-framing layers and I’m channelling major Rachel Green vibes. However, this style does require regular heat styling to keep it looking its best. That’s where Davines MELU Thermal Hair Shield comes in. This lightweight, heat-protectant spray helps protect my hair from the damage caused by styling tools, leaving it sleek and smooth without weighing it down. If, like me, you’ve found yourself reaching for the curling iron more often, a good thermal shield is a must-have.
