I can’t believe we are already mid January, can you? I thought it would be fun to do a round up of the goodies I used frequently for the last month. So here are my January favourites!
Experimental Perfume Club
Experimental Perfume Club is a London-based perfume house specialising in bespoke perfumery.
I love their mission to empower people to explore, experience and experiment with fragrances. Their collection of luxury fragrances were created to be blended together, to enable their customers to get creative in crafting and designing a scent that is personal to them.
Their perfumes are hand blended in house in their laboratory in London, using only the finest perfume ingredients sourced from across the globe by their partner in Grasse – the perfume capital of the world.
Another thing I really love is that they have an eco-conscious mind, so they use limited plastic, and supplemental packaging. Oh, they also offer a refill service which allows each full-size bottle to be returned and refilled at a discounted price. Kinder to our wallet and the planet too.
There are no animal-based ingredients in their perfumes, the entire range is Peta-certified, meaning they are vegan and cruelty-free.
Hover over ‘Fragrances’ on the top bar on their website and choose Formula Finder in the drop down to find the perfect scent made just for you.
Mine is the Signature Blend – Ambre Epices with Taislany printed on a white label (it smells absolutely divine).
Kate Somerville DermalQuench Wrinkle Warrior & ExfoliKat
I’ve truly come to love and appreciate anti-aging products in the last couple of years. When you notice the difference and firmness in your skin you know it’s worth investing in.
I use DermalQuench and ExfoliKat at night and always notice a huge difference in my skin in the mornings. My skin feels tighter, is visibly younger and healthier. Whenever I run out of it, my skin goes right back to being dull and uneven.

Nordgreen Philosopher Mesh
I got this watch at Christmas and I have been wearing it quite a bit. It has a beautiful design and goes well with literally any outfit. I love the classic mesh design which looks both timeless and contemporary.
I also love the fact that Nordgreen focuses on the connection made between each watch and wearer. Every timepiece has interchangeable straps, allowing the watch to match every look perfectly. If your mood or personality changes, so does the strap. The customisable design allows for full control of personal expression which makes the item fun and sustainable.
Materials are all sourced with sustainability and quality in mind. The Philosopher line has been designed to celebrate our ability to think differently, learn from the past, act now and create a better future.
EDOBIO AROMA FLOREEZE SPRAY
With face masks suddenly becoming an everyday necessity, it is so important to stay clean at all times. EDOBIO has created the Aroma Floreeze Spray with antibacterial herbs – it’s proprietary blend of lactic acid bacteria, Japanese green tea extract, vegetable alcohol and essential lavender and tea tree oils is a great way to support the new normal.
How to use:
I love this Aroma Floreeze Spray as it keeps my face comfortable and smelling fresh.
ST MORIZ INSTANT SELF TANNING MOUSSE
My favorite self tanner at the moment! It is streak free, applies evenly & perfectly, smells good & it LASTS for days!
The medium mousse gives the most beautiful, natural looking tan! It is buildable, so I am able to determine how dark I want the tan to be and is super easy to use. This is my go-to self tanner and it is very affordable which is a huge plus.
I start by using the Exfoliating Skin Primer whilst showering, once my body is exfoliated, clean and dry I apply the Oil Free Moisturiser and concentrate on those dry areas such as knees, feet, elbows and ankles.
Once my skin is dry I apply the Self Tanning Mousse all over my body using an applicator mitt. Last but not least, the face! I love adding 3-4 drops of their Radiant Glow Tan Boosting Serum to my daily moisturizer as it gives my skin a radiantly glowing tan without losing the benefits of your skincare☀️
I do my self-tan routine every 10 days and absolutely love how glowy is makes my skin look.
SKINSMITHS
THE SOCIAL BUTTERFLY SET
“This set is for the party-goers who want to supercharge their skin ready for every occasion, on zoom or in person!”
If there was EVER a time to invest in good skincare products it is now. I have recently started using Skinsmiths ReXnol Booster and moisturiser during the day and absolutely love how smooth my skin feels throughout the day.
Obviously, the longer you use the better are the results so I am very excited to having it in my skincare routine. The Daily Moisturiser keeps my skin hydrated and has a lovely lightweight, fast-absorbing formula. These goodies do exactly what it promises – it provides the skin the care it deserves for softer, smoother, happier skin.
Contains:
-Retinol booster
-Daily moisturiser
JOHN FRIEDA
I really love this duo so much ! They both smell fantastic and fresh – exactly what you want your hair to smell like! My normal dry ends are much softer and shinier after use these two combined.
The Detox Repair helps detangling my hair when wet and strengthens and protects my hair from heat. It also frees up the hair from unwanted impurities and transform stressed hair into healthy looking hair full of smoothness and shine.
Once styled, I add a pump of the Frizz Ease Original Serum to my end and it leaves it so much smoother and silkier, the frizz is definitely gone after applying.
My hair is naturally curly so, after a blow dry it can be a bit hectic, this helps to tame it and give a salon finish to the blowdry.

This anti-aging and brightening boosting serum is supercharged with 2,700 ppm of VENN’s patented form of Ginsenoside Compound K, to promote a brighter, firmer complexion. It’s blended with a Vitamin B-complex alongside Peptides and Polyamine to strengthen skin’s natural barrier while reducing the appearance of fine lines, pores and discoloration. I have been using this goodie for two months and absolutely love it’s anti-ageing skin benefits.
