Unmissable December picks for a beautiful home and calmer mind

Disclaimer: This post contains some affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you) if you decide to buy something I’ve recommended in this beautiful home series. I only share products I genuinely love and would use myself. This is the last “Edit” of the year so don’t miss my December picks. Sorry it is slightly late but I have been poorly and then we had a quick trip to the UK to see the family and celebrate my niece’s 18th birthday and sister-in-law’s big 40!! Let me know in the comments if you want me to feature something specific! Catch up with November’s picks here.

Interiors & DIY

Another month another MASSIVE Floor Street sale is on – don’t forget to use my Floor Street discount code FROMEVIJA to get an ADDITIONAL DISCOUNT. Flooring throughout our home downstairs is from Floor Street called Desert Oak in herringbone and wide plank. This flooring is DIY and budget friendly, they also have underlay and customer service is second to none. If you need any tips, head over to my blog post where I share how we installed these floors ourselves.

Cleaning Products & Home

MadeKind creates natural, eco-friendly home and personal care products that are gentle on your skin and safer for your home. Their formulas use plant-based ingredients and essential oils, avoiding harsh chemicals and their refillable packaging helps reduce waste. It’s a simple way to keep your home clean while supporting a more sustainable lifestyle.

Interiors

One Nine Eight Five is a British homeware brand known for its bold, expressive textiles and commitment to ethical production. Every cushion, throw and fabric piece is made in the UK using responsibly sourced materials, small-batch processes and recycled or waste textiles wherever possible. Their designs blend modern prints with a handcrafted feel, bringing character and colour into your home without compromising on sustainability. It’s a great choice if you want statement pieces that are both stylish and environmentally conscious. Here are two cushions that caught my eye!

Drinks

Exhale Coffee is a UK‑based brand offering organic, single‑origin coffee roasted to prioritise health, purity and sustainability. Their beans are lab‑tested to be free from mycotoxins, pesticides and heavy metals, and roasted in small batches to preserve antioxidant polyphenols and natural vitamins. Their packaging is plastic‑free and compostable and they commit to ethical sourcing and environmental responsibility making them a solid choice for anyone wanting a clean, conscientious brew. If you care about wellbeing, planet‑friendly habits and great‑tasting coffee, Exhale offers a thoughtful daily ritual rather than just a caffeine fix. My favourite is Organic House Roast.

Beauty

This month I am shining spotlight on two things, one is Nature Spell Rosemary hair oil. I have recently started using this for my hair, it smells lovely and only costs £7.99. I am hoping it will help with hair growth, as I suffered some hair loss before and after my surgery back in April, aneamia didn’t help either, but thankfully I am getting much better and hoping this will help on top of everything else I am doing! I love Nature Spell products and already use their Vitamin E oil as body moisturiser. I will keep you posted on my results!

You know I love natural beauty products and skincare and I have featured this brand before. MADARA is a Latvian-born skincare brand which is also available in the UK, creating clean, organic and cruelty-free products that combine plant-powered ingredients with scientific innovation, making it a top choice for those who want effective, eco-conscious skincare. I have a selection of their skincare and make up. I treated myself a few weeks ago and ordered the Bakuchiol oil. I have been using it every night and it smells absolutely beautiful.

Home & scent

CorinCraft is a UK-based brand creating natural, handmade aromatherapy products designed to enhance wellbeing at home. Their vegan and cruelty-free range uses essential oils and sustainable materials, offering eco-friendly solutions for a calmer and healthier living space. I found this company, when I was looking for a solution for snoring (Shaun – not me!!). We tried everything from nose strips to ear plugs, kicking didn’t help either 🙂 Nothing seemed to work until I discovered Snore Stones! Honestly, they work and I take them everywhere we go!! They make the room smell so lovely too, which also helps me relax and drift off to sleep.
