Our Favourite Sustainable Pick-Me-Up Brands
Humans are often pretty terrible at giving themselves the same care and attention they give to those around them. Though it’s great to put others first, many of us are taught this from childhood, but it’s just as essential to care for yourself.
There are countless ways you can complete self-care, from the way you unwind, take care of your body to the way you present yourself to others. Whether it’s making sure you’re well-hydrated, taking a nice bath to unwind, getting that long-ignored laundry done, or planning a fitness plan, self-care can span every aspect of your life.
But to keep it simple, we’ve put together a list of our favourite pick-me-up, self-care brands so you can get some well-deserved me-time in.
Peaces of Mine
Peaces of Mine boxes are filled with gorgeous skincare, home and lifestyle products, thoughtfully chosen to help you look after your mind and body, prioritise your wellbeing and find a little peace. This brand believes that peaceful moments of self-care and little rituals are really powerful in affecting how we feel and supporting our peace of mind.
Not only that, but they’re also passionate about being kind to all beings and our planet, so all their packaging and products are vegan, cruelty-free and eco-friendly. All products are carefully sourced from amazing small UK businesses and every box is beautifully packaged and sent with love.
Whether it’s a letterbox pick-me-up as a small treat for yourself, their sweet dreams box to help you create a relaxing bedtime ritual, or a gratitude box to weave some quiet reflection into your self-care practises, you’ll find the perfect little tidbit for yourself.
