Welcome to part 2 of our annual round-up of products that we loved in 2023!

Some of them were new to us and have earned a place on our repeat purchase list and as always there are some that we’ve found ourselves returning to because they’re just fab and are part of our beauty and wellbeing collections.

There is so much to choose from and there are a lot of products that we’ve tried out and liked but we can’t include everything so here’s a snapshot of our favourite body and wellbeing products from 2023. Enjoy!

Jessica’s Picks..

Body

NEOM bath milk
Neom Real Luxury Magnesium Bath Milk

I love this magnesium powered bath milk from Neom! Its perfect to use after a long day to help relax the mind and body. You don’t need a lot, but I love the aromatherapeutic benefits of this milk… it smells amazing.

Lush Bubble Bar

As a bath lover, I have regular baths and I found myself regularly reaching for the fabulous bath bubble bars from Lush! They have a fab range of scents for whatever you need, have lovely scents and have great ingredients.

Love that you can use them across multiple baths, their bath bombs are one time use so the bubble bars feel much more cost effective.

Mylee The Full Works Complete Gel Polish Kit – Siren

2023 is the year I really wanted to get into nails, but nothing that was too complicated… and I think I found the solution that works for me! This year, I became a lover of Mylee nails.

It’s as easy as painting your nails normally, but instead of just waiting for the nails to dry naturally, you cure them under the UV light for 60 seconds. So easy and the effect is fantastic! They last well and the nails feel harder and stronger.

They’re affordable, easy to use and have a gorgeous array of colours… what more can you ask for?

Wellbeing

kuddly
Kudd.ly Theraputic Weighted Blanket

Have you tried a weighted blanket before? They’re a cozy additions to our bedrooms and our wellbeing rituals. They work by using deep pressure stimulation to induce a feeling of calm… and this year I picked up a weighted blanket from Kudd.ly and I love it!

This weighted blanket from Kudd.ly is great quality, the colours are lovely and does exactly what it says it should do. I love using it in the evenings cuddled up on the sofa and sometimes at night to help create that cozy secure feeling.

Borrowbox

By far, reading is one of the most important things I do for my mental health. Nothing else helps me decompress than escaping into a book. It gives me a form of escapism, I can change my mood and just allows me to disconnect from reality for a time as I enjoy a good book.

This library powered app is attached to your library card and allows you to borrow a selection of ebooks at no cost. As someone who reads a lot (I read 100 books this year) its invaluable.

I love that you can also get audiobooks through the app too. Most of my books this year I borrowed through BorrowBox, as well as another library eBook app called Libby.
