Hannah Britt finds out what’s hot to shop this week
HOME
Remy is an interiors company that sells snuggly home accessories with wellbeing benefits, and all the products are designed to help you relax and unwind. We love the Hugger pillow, £59, a super soft and supportive bean bag pillow that cradles the body, helping to reduce anxiety and boost sleep. Find out more at remysleep.com.
EAT
If you’re looking for a healthy alternative to ice cream, then why not try Pukpip frozen bananas, £3? Dipped in milk or white chocolate, these delicious treats are made from “wonky” bananas that are the wrong shape or size to sell, or have imperfections on their skin, making them a sustainable option too. Order them at ocado.com.
BEAUTY
We’re big fans of the new The Body Shop Bluebell range. The light floral scent will remind you of woodland walks – it really is like spring in a bottle. Try the Bluebell Body Butter Melt, £19, which has a light texture, sinks into skin immediately, and provides an instant moisture boost. Available in store and at thebodyshop.com.
WELLBEING
Dr David Spiegel, pictured, is a world expert on selfhypnosis, and has launched an app that means you can try the holistic therapy in the comfort of your own home. Reveri features different sessions, from improving focus and dealing with grief to breaking a habit and helping you eat more intuitively. Try it free for seven days, then £24.99 a month – reveri.com
ECO
Next Monday is Earth Day and this year the focus is on getting rid of plastic and its polluting effect on the planet. These beautiful stoneware bowls from Hokan, from £24, are an eco-friendly alternative to plastic boxes. They stack for easy storage but can also be used for cooking – and they come in a range of colours. Visit hokanbowls.com to order.
