Things We’re Loving Right Now: Spring 2025 Edition
*note this article contains products we have been gifted
Self-care isn't selfish—it's essential. Here's my curated collection of products that have been absolute game-changers this season.
Spring has officially sprung, and with the changing season comes a refresh of my beauty, wellness, and lifestyle staples. From skincare saviours to tech that's transformed my daily routine, these are the products I can't stop raving about to friends, family, and now, you.
Skincare Sensations
Caudalie Firming Cashmere Cream has become my holy grail moisturiser. Ordered from Very.co.uk, this luxurious cream lives up to its name with a texture that genuinely feels like cashmere against the skin. It's deeply hydrating without feeling heavy, making it perfect for transitional weather when my skin can't decide if it's dry or combination.
Speaking of Very.co.uk finds, the Garnier Face SPF50 with Vitamin C and the same SPF50 with Niacinamide offer double-threat protection: sun defence, brightening, and pore-refining benefits in one lightweight formula. They both sit beautifully under makeup and don't leave that dreaded white cast—a true everyday essential.
For those who take SPF seriously (as we all should!), Dr. David Jack's All Day SPF deserves a special mention. It's slightly pricier but worth every penny for its elegant formulation that feels more like a luxury treatment than sun protection.
Rounding out my skincare discoveries is the Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream. This K-beauty gem harnesses traditional Korean herbal ingredients for a glow that looks like you've had eight hours of sleep (even when you definitely haven't).
Wellness Wonders
The self-help book that's actually changing my life? Dr. Clare Anyiam Osigwe's Clarity Book and Journal. Unlike other wellness guides that gather dust on my nightstand, this one has me actively implementing changes. The journal component keeps me accountable, and I've noticed genuine improvements in my mental clarity and decision-making.
Paired with my Gratitude Journal by Papers & Gems which is now my daily non-negotiable, I’m all set!
For next-level sleep quality, the Musi Cozy Eye Mask with Headphones has been revolutionary. I was sceptical about sleeping with headphones, but the ultra-soft design is comfortable enough to wear all night, and drifting off to gentle meditation tracks has dramatically improved my sleep quality.
When it comes to staying hydrated, Electrolytes by Oshun have transformed my water game. Beyond just quenching thirst, they've noticeably improved my energy levels and workout recovery. The subtle flavouring makes drinking water feel like a treat rather than a chore.
Beauty Discoveries
If you've spotted me recently and commented on my scent, I was almost certainly wearing AURRA London perfume. With notes that evolve beautifully throughout the day, it's sophisticated without being overpowering—the perfect signature fragrance I've been searching for.
My hair care routine has been elevated by two simple additions: ByEloise Mulberry Silk Scrunchies that prevent breakage and creasing overnight, and As I Am Curling Jelly that defines my curls without the crunch. Both products have simplified my morning routine while improving my hair's health.
Indulgent Experiences
The café discovery that's become my weekend ritual: Cosmic Cacao at Tease in Mayfair. It's not just hot chocolate—it's an otherworldly experience with adaptogenic mushrooms and spices that somehow tastes indulgent while supporting gut health. Worth every penny and the journey across town.
Tech That's Changed Everything
The Whoop 4.0 deserves its own category entirely. This unassuming wristband has transformed my relationship with fitness and recovery. Unlike other fitness trackers I've tried and abandoned, the Whoop's focus on recovery has helped me understand when to push harder and when to prioritise rest, resulting in more consistent progress and fewer injuries.
