Summer is truly here! I’m writing this in my garden with the sun on my skin, I’ve had a few picnics in parks, summer holiday is on the horizon, and horses in the fields... Yorkshire is dreamy this time of year. Here's a little round-up of what I’m loving, doing, wearing, and absolutely raving about this month.
Best Book
If you’re a mum of teens (or know one teetering on the edge), please read “Mum, What’s Wrong With You?” by Lorraine Candy. It’s hilariously real, wise, and SO needed in those moments where you think, "Is it me, or...?" Spoiler: it’s not you. Get your copy here.
Seasonal Shift = Major Mood Shift
I'm SUCH a spring-summer girl. Already mapping out my Mallorca trip, scheduling horse rides through Yorkshire’s greenest bits, and saying yes to impromptu picnics.
New Supplement/Food Fix
As life has been so busy at the moment, I've been feeling a bit wiped, so I’ve started taking iron - recommended by my supplement oracle, Alice Mackintosh. She’s my go-to for all things nutrient support (you should totally follow her if you don’t already @alicemackintosh_nutrition). Game changer. She also founded supplement brand, Equi London.
New Place I’ve Loved
Ok, Akara at Borough Market is IT. Getting a table is chaos, but it’s worth it. The food is next-level. Go early and go hungry.
Best Advice I’ve Heard Lately
“Write your goals in ink, but your strategies in pencil.” I LOVE this. Such a motivating reminder that it's okay to have a vision, but stay flexible on the route. Holding this close lately.
NEOM Product of the Month
The NEW Reed Diffusers… have you seen them? Total interior goals. I’ve filled my home with them - so chic, so fresh, and the scent throw is chef’s kiss. Obsessed. Fill your home with our summer scents – Feel Refreshed and Happiness.
Summer Wear
I wore an LK Bennett two-piece - blue and white florals - to Chelsea Flower Show. It was so comfy all through the event and it was so effortless! Shop LK Bennett here.
Latest Instagram Follow
If you love a good tablescape, head straight to @mrsalice. Summer table inspo that’s elegant, joyful, and gives me serious garden party energy.
Morning Routine Upgrade
I've added NEOM's Energy Burst Mineral Milk to my AM ritual - light as air, quick to absorb, vitamin-rich, and leaves my skin smelling like clean sunshine. Seriously invigorating and energising.
Podcast Obsession
If you haven’t watched the latest SheerLuxe episode, run (here it is: watch now). I’m especially loving Charlotte Collins’ blue suit—the perfect desk-to-dinner summer workwear vibe.
Until next month,
