The Daily Apple Toner is beautiful, it feels like a delicate exfoliator that's not at all harsh. I also really like the tanning drops. I don't use oil products because my skin is acne prone so I can't speak to those. They are quite pricey as a brand so trial sizes are a good option.

I've had my Frank Green cup for 3 years and it's still going strong, it's surprisingly durable. Keeps my drink warm, looks nice, and yes the lid is a bit of a faff to disassemble but I generally chuck it in the dishwasher, which does a good enough job, and only take it apart every couple of weeks.

These oils are absolutely gorgeous. They're formulated with essential oils but are incredibly delicate and the scents are divine. I've used the Night Oil, which has a neroli scent, and the Stop Shedding Now, which is like espresso. Each oil targets a different scalp / hair issue.

The products I've used have been effective and functional. Sure, it's not a luxurious brand but for specific skin conditions like eczema it really works. The Toleriane creamy cleanser didn't work for my skin, it felt a bit filmy and heavy. But the Lipikar is my go-to for eczema and the Anthelios suncare range is all excellent.

I love Maui Moisture shampoo and conditioner for my curly hair, it's really affordable and I can get it in Boots (often with a discount offer) and it's just as moisturising and smoothing as the more expensive brands I've tried. The scents are nice too. I always get sulfate-free and silicone-free products and these fit the bill.

The colour choices are really good - there's a huge selection from brights to neutrals. Some of the neutrals have been a bit thin in coverage and I prefer solid colour. But the longevity is good and I like that I can pick it up in Boots or Superdrug.

Just yes to this whole brand. I love everything, from the understated French chic branding, to the gorgeously layered scents. I've repurchased the Baies candle multiple times (including once for my mum, who used it in the kitchen to get rid of the smell of fish FML). I also really love the hair mist in the summery limited edition scent. If you're ever in London I recommend a visit to the Diptyque room at Liberty's.

I picked up a packet of this spelt pasta at a pop-up store entirely because I loved the packaging, but the pasta itself was delicious, properly tasty and robust, and worked really well with a spicy tomato sauce. I like the idea of spelt pasta as I try to avoid ordinary wheat. The bags are delightful, I found the string opening a bit difficult to use but I might just have been doing it wrong!

One of my favourite luxe beauty brands. I've tried a lot of products, from the ambient light powders (gorgeous) to the concealer (thick, long-lasting) and lipsticks (rich, pigmented, shiny). I can't think of anything I don't like except for one eyeshadow stick that snapped off. The brand as a whole gives a really luxe, put-together look and I think it's worth the money. The sales assistants / make up artists are always lovely too.

My yoga leggings have lasted well for over 3 years. They are expensive, but they feel super comfortable and don't roll down. I feel like they're a good investment versus buying a few pairs of cheaper ones over a few years. The prices are the only downside. My local store has plenty of size variations and friendly assistants.
