This year, many of us will have decided to make our wellness a priority and made a commitment to our own physical, emotional and mental well-being. And while our intentions might be the best, sometimes it can be hard to keep the focus and stick to our goals. Let's face it: we all need a little bit of help sometimes.
And that's where John Lewis steps in...
John Lewis has done all the hard work and sourced the best brands and top tried-and-tested products to curate an exceptional well-being assortment. Each item has been selected to help you feel incredible from the inside-out and to help you achieve your personal well-being goals.
Here are some of our favourites that have boosted our own routines!
If you're not yet familiar with Moon Juice, then this might just be the skin saviour you've been looking for. Exclusive to John Lewis & Partners in the UK, this brand is sustainably-sourced, vegan and cruelty-free, plus it's specifically developed to boost your general feelings of wellbeing. From a Plump Jelly Hydrating Serum to the Gentle Foaming cleanser, every product has been designed to "elevate consciousness and wellbeing". Right now, more than ever, that feels like a luxury.
Before lockdown, I stupidly assumed that all leggings were made equal. Oh, how wrong I was. The pair that changed my mind? Sweaty Betty's high waisted leggings, which offer great support without digging in or feeling uncomfortable. The foldover waistband means they firmly stay in place but feel super soft to wear and even have a pocket for your phone. It doesn't matter whether you're doing an at-home yoga class, going for a walk or just watching your 184766th hour of Netflix – they'll be perfect for all of the above.
As we all find ourselves spending more time at home, with many of us working, slumped over the kitchen table, a massage probably sounds more appealing than ever. No wonder, then, that Theragun's at-home massager is so popular. It's personalised, thanks to a guided app experience that will reduce your deep muscle tension, whether it comes from everyday life, work, or workout. There's hardly any noise (less than an electric toothbrush) and every muscle can be targeted. Plus, you can connect via Bluetooth to find customised wellness routines for even more help. Bliss.
If you're looking for ways to help relieve your stress and tension, these patches combine organic hemp CBD and menthol designed to balance the mind and relieve feelings of anxiety. You can put them on any venous area of the skin (like your inner wrist) and wear for up to 12 hours for 'maximum calm'. But FYI, these aren't recommended for anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding.
January is (finally) over but, given that lockdown looks likely to extend into March, we need comfy clothes – and things to occupy our time – more than ever. Hush's new activewear range is the perfect excuse to try that online yoga class you've been putting off, or also makes for a stylish combo just for relaxing at home. This floral set is my favourite – there's even a matching jacket available if you need an extra layer.
