Our Favourite Stocking Fillers for Under £10

It’s the middle of November; Halloween and Bonfire night are well behind us, which means that we are now officially allowed to talk about Christmas! With rising energy prices, many people are looking at ways to save, or just simply starting their Christmas shopping earlier so they can spread the cost a little. With this in mind, we thought we’d share with you some of our favourite products for under £10 which would make fantastic stocking fillers for the ones you love:

Voesh 3 Step Basic Mani in a Box Vitamin Recharge 

If you have someone in your life who has super hard-working hands then this mani in a box is the perfect little treat for them. It contains three separate products which gives you enough for a perfectly pampering manicure and it’s enriched with key ingredients to give your hands the nutrition they need. If you really like the person, you could even offer to give them a manicure yourself, using this kit! 

UpCircle The Pamper Kit 

This adorable (and sustainable) little pamper kit from UpCirlce contains SEVEN of their best-selling products, giving your gift recipient the chance to try the very best that they have to offer. All of the products are vegan friendly, cruelty free and made using naturally derived and recycled ingredients, and the kit contains a cleansing face balm, a clarifying face mask, a face toner, an eye cream, a face moisturiser, an organic face serum and a body cream.

Maskology Foot Peel Professional Foot Treatment

If your friend or loved one has a job which sees them standing on their feet for large portions of the day, there’s a good chance that their feet could do with some love. Maskology Foot Peel Professional Foot Treatment uses a formula of over 16 powerful botanical and fruit extracts to gradually remove rough and dead skin from the feet in just 7 days. Salicylic and Glycolic Acid dissolve and exfoliate dead skin cells, while other ingredients encourage the regeneration of new cells helping to replenish and renew the skin beneath.

Elemis Luxury Cleansing Cloth Duo

Moving towards a more sustainable skincare routine should be high up on most of our Christmas lists and these cleansing cloths will do exactly that. Elemis Luxury Cleansing Cloth Duo are super-soft pure cotton facial cloths that are ideal for removing cleansers, exfoliators and masks. They can be washed and reused for many years and the loose-fibred cotton is also perfect to enable use as an intensively nourishing treatment, allowing the sensorial aromas to be deeply inhaled through abdominal breathing. 

This Works Stress Check CBD Lip Mask

Many of us suffer from chapped lips in the Winter, so treating your loved one to a nourishing lip-treatment in their stocking is likely to be much appreciated. This lip mask from This Works is a natural lip comforter with 1% CBD, sweet almond oil and mood-boosting chocolate, peppermint and cardamom oils to self-comfort and help protect from the drying effects of stress and mask wearing.

We know that exercising can impact all areas in your life, for the better, but we also know that getting time to actually do it can be hard. We’ve had a look at how you can fit just a little bit of workout time into your schedule so you feel bright and happy all day long.

Jog on
If you’re not keen on intense cardio training but would like to break out in a slight sweat, then how about some gentle jogging? This exercise helps to strengthen your entire body and keep you in good shape, without putting huge pressure on your joints. We do suggest that you invest in some decent trainers, take water with you, and always warm-up and cool down to prevent injuries.

Speed walking
Taking it down another notch from jogging, we have speed walking. You might not know this but a brisk walk can help build your cardiovascular health and can also boost your mental wellbeing. This really is a low commitment exercise that anyone can fit into their day, and if you have a dog, even better as they need their walk and you can get fit together!

Yoga
As well as keeping your heart healthy, it is also important to ensure you have muscle flexibility and a still mind, and yoga can do this for you. Yoga, as well as tai chi and Pilates, engage your muscles so they stay healthy and you also have the meditative elements that still your mind, allow you to focus on your breathing and bring down your anxiety.

Crunch it out
If you want to work on your abs without going OTT in the gym, simple crunches are the way to go. Crossing your arms across your chest while doing these exercises can help you to avoid pulling on your neck and causing injury. If you aren’t quite sure how to get this right, ask a PT and they will be only too happy to assist so you know you are on the right track.

Shake it out
Dancing is an amazing way to keep fit, stay healthy and make friends. Zumba, ballet, salsa, and tap are just some of the options out there and not only will taking part make you feel good but because of the social element, you will feel like you’ve had a group hug at the end of the session.

Go for a swim
We often think about swimming in the summer but this is a great cardio exercise that will benefit your health and mental well-being all year round. As swimming isn’t dangerous for joints and muscles, it’s something many of us can enjoy, and if you are serious about your strokes, book in a lesson or two and really make this sport work for you.

Raise your heals
Heel raises, which involve deliberately lifting and lowering your heels off the floor, can help to address weakness, balance, range of motion, and coordination of the foot and ankle. This might seem like a really simple move, but it goes a long way to stretch out those muscles and keep you supple.

Skip away
A rope and a little space can really get your heart rate up and those feel-good endorphins pumping! You don’t have to do it for ages, and while you’ll be surprised at how hard it is when you start, build it up over time and your fitness levels will boom.

How to Give Yourself a Home Pedicure

How to Give Yourself a Home Pedicure

When the sun is shining and your tootsies are constantly on show in a series of sandals, it makes sense to splurge and have your pedicures done in a salon. However, when the weather cools and our feet are stuffed into boots for months on end, spending money on keeping our feet looking nice seems like a false economy. However, if you leave your feet to their own devices all winter, they’re going to emerge in spring looking more like they belong to the Gruffalo, so we’ve put together some home pedicure tips which should keep you going over the colder months.

Soak Them

Before you do anything to your feet, you’ll want to get them super soft and clean, so soaking in a bath with some Elemis Aching Muscle Super Soak will soften any hard skin, making it easy to scrub it away. Make sure the bath isn’t too hot and spend plenty of time soaking to get the best results.

Scrub Them

Getting rid of hard skin is really important, otherwise it can build up and look (and feel) really unpleasant. Many people go straight for harsh files and blades to get rid of skin, but often it’s enough to persevere with a gentler product like Elemis Devils Mint Body Scrub. Use this after soaking your feet on a regular basis and the skin won’t have a chance to build up to unpleasant levels.

Brush Them

The tops of your feet are just as important as the bottoms and people often focus the care and exfoliation on the latter because that’s where the hard skin builds up, forgetting the rest of the foot. This area doesn’t need a harsh exfoliation, but brushing it with the Elemis Body Detox Skin Brush every time you bathe or shower will keep the tops of your toes looking great.

Trim Them

Everyone has a personal preference for toenail length, but keeping them short is the most hygienic and low-maintenance way to get through the winter. Use proper clippers which are intended for feet and make sure you cut them straight, not cutting off the corners as this can lead in ingrown toenails and open you up to possible infections.

Paint Them

Painting your toenails is SO much easier than painting your own fingernails because there’s no need to swap hands! Opt for either a nude which suits your skin tone or a dark colour and they’re the neatest option for short nails. Nudes will need less maintenance, too!

Moisturise Them

It’s absolutely VITAL to moisturise your feet if you want them to remain soft and free from hard skin. Elemis Treat Your Feet Foot Cream is an intensely moisturising formulation melts beautifully into the skin, smoothing and hydrating rough dry areas. It’s designed specifically for feet and is infused with a blend of aromatic oils to help soothe and comfort tired, overworked feet.
