We are almost halfway through the year and sometimes with all that is happening, we forget to sit down and relax. With school breaking up for the long summer holidays, caravan holidays booked and the sun shining brightly (on some days), we are sharing some ideas on how you can relax, unwind and take some time off to pamper yourself especially if you are into wellness, eco-friendly products and taking time off for some ‘me-time’. We have sat down to think carefully on what products to showcase this month, and have decided on Angela Langford’s A Little Lift, Ion8’s Leakproof Water Bottle for you to stay hydrated and to avoid using disposable one-time plastic bottles. We also share about Boost Oxygen and how you can enjoy pure oxygen at the comfort of your home as well as a beautiful handcrafted and vintage bath and body themed giftset from Pretty Little Treat. Lastly, we also share about Olverum’s Dry Body Oil to give your body the moisture it needs to look its best when you wear your summer clothes. Hope you enjoy reading this post as much as we have had compiling it. Do head to our instagram, facebook, pinterest and twitter page and remember to follow us for quick updates on where we are and what we are up to.
Angela Langford’s A Little Lift
We love Angela Langford’s products and have featured Bloom & Glow in our May Gift Guide which still comes top of our favourite items we have featured thus far. This time around we are featuring A Little Lift, a face serum which is natural, vegetarian and vegan-friendly. With prolonged use, I am sure you can see the effects of the product more pronounced, but in the little time that I used it, I found that it hydrated, moistured and made my skin feel a lot smoother. It also had a lovely scent to it which I found relaxing. You can use this product both in the morning and at night on your face, neck, shoulders and back and then followed by Bloom & Glow or your favourite moisturiser. This 30ml bottle can be purchased for £31 from their website here.
Ion8 Leakproof Water Bottle
Boost Oxygen
We were sent two bottles of Boost Oxygen cans to test and try out….and if you are wondering…yes it is Oxygen in a can. On their website it is stated that Boost Oxygen combats the symptom of poor air quality, stress and fatigue which in the long run helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Celebrities such as Kayne West, Khloe Kardashian and Kim Kardashian are amongst their users and have endorsed the product. These cans are light and portable, so great to take it when I was out and about. The 6L Boost Oxygen Beauty Can consists of 98% pure oxygen with a natural pink grapefruit & frankincense aroma to enhance the experience of the oxygen intake. The second can was a large size of Natural Boost Oxygen Can which is equivalent to 9L or 200 inhalations. It is said that prolonged use of this can help protect you against the ageing effects of poor quality and stress, restoring depleted oxygen levels while oxygenating the skin from within. We would suggest inhaling this before or after you do your exercise such as yoga or running or if you just want to relax after a stressful situation to help you calm your mind. This can is also essential if you live in a city where air pollution is cosmic. You can purchase these cans from Boost Oxygen for £19.99 – £21.99 depending on the size of the can
Pretty Little Treat Handcrafted Bath & Body
If you want to give yourself a special handcrafted ‘pamper me’ sort of present or to gift this as a present to someone special then these beautifully packaged items from Pretty Little Treat will make the perfect gift. Made from 100% recyclable, natural and locally sourced and sustainable materials, these are all packaged using glass jars, PET plastic and compostable and biodegradable paper. We were sent a couple of giftset items which included the following: 15ml Hand Cream which came in a cute jar with a lovely photo of a vintage ladies and topped off with a delicate pink rose. a Lavender Butter all-purpose balm made with 100% natural Lavender essential oil & Shea Butter, great on dry skin, chapped skin or sunburns. Strawberry Jam Lip Balm which came presented in a pretty organza bag and a gift tag, the balm is made with a blend of Shea Butter, Sunflower Seed Oil and Beeswax. A beautifully wrapped Summer Rain Bar Soap and Bath Treat to enjoy when you have a relaxing bath. Each of these item retails at £3.50 each. You can buy your personalised giftset here.
Olverum’s Dry Body Oil
We have reviewed the Olverum brand before for our Valentine’s Gift Guide feature and this time we are featuring their Ultra-Light Super Fine Dry Body Oil. Consisting of Atlas Cedar Bark, Sandalwood & frankincense Oils, Begamot & Bitter Orange Leaf Oils, I totally love the smell as I found it therapeutic and relaxing. The oil also was very light and quickly absorbed by my skin with no oily residue, in fact it gave a healthy glow to my skin. The spray function also means that I can have this in my bag and spray it when I am out to keep my skin hydrated without much hassle. I also love that this dry oil is crafted with Alaria Esculenta Extract to boost the synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid, helping preserve skin’s firmness and elasticity. Beautifully packaged in a stunning bottle, this is the perfect gift for yourself if you want to feel more special! Retailing at £36, the 100ml bottle can be purchased from Liberty, Fortnum and Mason or their website here.

These are some awesome and unusual suggestions. I could definitely use some plumping and firming. I’ve never heard of oxygen in a can, but I do remember those oxygen bars from the 90s! Super interesting!
Yes super interesting too, it just helps to provide pure oxygen and calm you down especially after a strenuous exercise
