I only share products I genuinely love and use myself. Did you see my June picks last month?? Here are my July picks for the beautiful home and calmer mind series, today I am also sharing a few home and DIY things. As you know I have been recovering from my surgery and have been paying closer attention to things I eat and use in our home. During these posts I will share my favourites as well as things for you and your home together with some discount codes! Here are my July favourites.

Books

I have had time to read and have been hooked on Vex King books. I have just finished Good Vibes Good Life and started his other book Healing is the New High. I am half way through and I love it. It is such an easy read and definitely makes you stop and think about your life.

I recently started following Dr. Hazel Wallace and ordered her new book Not Just a Period! I think this is such an important book, that every girl and woman should read. Unfortunately, women’s health is such a complex subject so many things get overlooked, it is important for us to understand our bodies and this book is definitely one to read!

DIY

DIY: If you are in need of new flooring look no further – we used Floor Street gorgeous laminate floors called Desert Oak throughout downstairs in our home and we absolutely love them. Floor Street is having a massive Summer Sale this week, keep an eye on their website and use my code EvijaJULY for a discount. This code is valid for JULY. If you are reading this post and the code does not work for you, send me a message!

Home

CANDLES: I am a huge fan of Imvelo Candle Co, from their hand-poured soy candles and wax melts to beautifully curated gift sets and diffusers, every product is simply stunning. This month, I’m shining a spotlight on my favourite: their 100% soy candles, lovingly hand-poured right here on the Isle of Man. I love all scents available in the shop but my absolute favourite is Lime Basil and Mandarin! The Essential Oils collection is something else.

KITCHEN: Toxin-free living isn’t just about skincare or haircare it is just as important when it comes to the food we eat. I always wash my fruit and veg with bicarbonate of soda and water to remove any chemicals or nasties before we eat them. Recently, I discovered this toxin and chemical-free Veggi Wash and it has made the process so much easier!

GADGETS: I love making smoothies and I couldn’t be without my Ninja Nutribullet. It is perfect – small and compact and so powerful. It is also super affordable! Have you got yours? If not save this post and come back to it later.

I am also eyeing up a this Vitamix version, but it is quite expensive and need to save up for it first!

FLOWERS: Treat yourself and get some beautiful flowers. Fresh cut flowers bring me so much joy so I get myself a bouquet now and again. This month I got some beautiful peonies – they smell absolutely beautiful and also remind me of my nana, who used to grow them in her garden.

Beauty

I love searching for new things to try and ensuring that any beauty items that I buy now are cruelty free with less chemicals, toxins and endocrine disruptors. Always read the label and if not sure, ask ChatGPT to check the ingredients for you.

HAIR: Due to my health issues and hormonal imbalance I have been experiencing, my hair became extremely thin two years ago and started falling out more than ever. I have always had fine hair, but this has been on a whole different level. I am so glad I found MUL Cosmetics I’m absolutely loving the Advanced Hair Growth Oil.

Every order supports humanitarian efforts in Gaza, so this brand is definitely worth supporting!
