Mernie Gilmore finds out what’s hot to shop this week

DRINK

WE’RE all trying to turn our back on single use plastic. New company Water In A Box makes a great alternative to picking up a throwaway bottle of water when you’re out and about as it’s fully recyclable and sustainable. It comes in three refreshing fruity flavours, as well as plain. Order at waterinabox.co.uk. From £8.99 for 12 cartons.

BEAUTY

HERE’S a new natural beauty range that sounds good enough to eat. Pip & Pod is packed with skin-loving superfoods such as avocado and blueberries. The packaging is recyclable and some of the ingredients are byproducts that would otherwise have gone to waste. Try the Avocado, Pumpkin & Cactus Cleansing Balm, £11. Available from Holland & Barrett.

EAT

BONNE Maman has branched out from delicious jams to launch a range of luxurious yogurts and desserts which are perfect for that little something after a meal. Choose from rich mousses and souffles to our favourite, Strawberry Fruit & Creme Chantilly, £2.80, a light and summery combination of strawberry compote with a delicious whipped topping. Find it in Sainsbury’s.

HOME

FORGET faffing around with powder or measuring out liquid, these new Dr Beckmann Magic Leaves, £4.50, make doing the laundry a breeze. Simply pop a sheet into the drum and it’ll dissolve in 60 seconds. They have 90 per cent less packaging than traditional detergents, making them an eco-friendly option too. Available in Tesco.

HOLIDAY

HIGH STREET favourite Wilko is on a mission to sort out your summer holiday without breaking the bank. From bargain SPFs for adults and children, and mini travel bottles for skincare essentials, to luggage that looks great, it has everything you need. We’re first in the queue for this stylish red suitcase, £28.
