The Glow Edit: What's in my wellness bag this month?
From sleep to snacks to shine—here’s what’s actually been working (and why it might for you, too).
We all have those quietly powerful staples — the ones that shift your mood, help you feel more centred, or add a touch of glow when the day feels dull. Over the past few weeks, I’ve found myself reaching for a handful of essentials that have genuinely enhanced my mood, energy and mindset.
This is a curated peek into the things I’ve been loving lately. Practical, impactful, and intentionally chosen. Consider it your monthly edit.
🌙 Magnesium Capsules
Let’s begin with sleep—the quiet foundation of everything. (Honestly, this deserves a whole post of its own, and don’t worry—I’m working on it, but for now, a teaser)
While I’m a natural early riser, I will also admit I’m not always the best at winding down. And as much as we often obsess over sleep quantity, I’ve come to value the quality even more.
After my recent conversation with Kate Living (you can read it here), I doubled down on magnesium—and haven’t looked back.
Why it elevates my routine:
Magnesium has helped deepen my sleep, calm the evening buzz, and gently ease tension. It’s that subtle shift from feeling “wired but tired” to feeling restored. It’s now a non-negotiable in my evening wind down routine.
🍓 Snack Inspo
The 3pm dip—it happens to the best of us. And while fruit is lovely in theory, some days you just want something that feels a little more indulgent.
Right now, I’m pairing Greek yogurt with Deliciously Ella’s Nutty Granola and a handful of berries. It’s simple and deliciously satisfying ( excuse the pun).
Why it elevates my snack time:
This isn’t just about taste—it’s about energy that sustains. It keeps my blood sugar stable, satisfies my sweet tooth without the crash, and gives me that mid-afternoon “you’ve got this” lift. Snack, but make it yummy and healthy.
💇♀️ Hair Glow
Nourished hair carries its own kind of energy. Lately, mine has been softer, shinier—and just easier to manage.
I’ve been using Amika’s Superfruit Star Styling Oil, and it’s quietly transformed my haircare ritual. Lightweight, silky, and subtly scented—it’s everything I want in a styling oil without the weight.
Why it elevates my routine:
It smooths frizz, restores shine, protects from heat, and reduces breakage. The result? Hair that feels effortlessly polished. It’s the kind of product that slips into your life and quietly raises the bar. Ps. It’s ideal for pre or post styling.
📚 Book Geek
When I need to recalibrate, I reach for a book—not to escape, but to reconnect. My latest? The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks.
It’s a bold, brilliant invitation to move beyond self-imposed limits and fully step into your "Zone of Genius."
Why it elevates my routine:
This book has become a mirror—reflecting back the quiet ways I hold myself back, and more importantly, how I can move forward with intention. If you’re craving clarity, confidence, or a nudge toward expansion, this one’s for you.
That’s this month’s edit. A select mix of things that make my day feel a little more grounded, a little more luxe, and a little more me. I love how the little things in our day can help create the most nourishing shifts in our daily wellbeing.
Keep it simple. Keep it do-able. Keep it you.
Should we make this a monthly ritual?
Let me know—I’d love to share more of my luxe essentials with you.
