Mernie Gilmore finds out what’s hot to shop this week
BEAUTY
Brighten up your morning with the new Soap & Glory The Real Zing collection. Designed to refresh and invigorate, the bodycare range includes Body Sorbet, £9.95, which contains exfoliating fruit acids to smooth skin, and Body Wash, £6.95, with a citrusy lemon, lime and neroli scent. Everything is under a tenner too. Find it in Boots.
ECO
Italian coffee company Lavazza has launched its first carbon-neutral coffee pods, which are made from fully recyclable aluminium. They come in six delicious varieties, including our favourite, the classic Qualita Rossa, £3.50. There’s a decaf option too. Available to buy at lavazza.co.uk.
WELLBEING
Acupressure mats promise to relax the body and mind. The idea is simple, you lie down on the mat, which is covered in tiny plastic spikes, and they boost blood flow, soothing tired and achy muscles. Why not treat yourself to this mat and pillow set, £19.99, from Core Balance (corebalancefitness.co.uk), which has an astonishing 6,210 spikes for deep relaxation.
EAT
Hungry and in a hurry? Then drop some Zenb Pasta Agile, £5, into a pan of boiling water and it’ll be ready in just two minutes. This speedy pasta is made from yellow peas, making it high in protein and fibre, so it will keep you fuller for longer. It’s also completely gluten free. Visit zenb.co.uk to order.
HOME
Instagram sensation Mrs Hinch’s homeware collections for Tesco always fly off the shelves, and this new range will be no exception. Top of our wishlist is the Spa Retreat candle, £12, which has a relaxing fragrance and comes with a stylish cloche to keep it dust-free between uses.
