Our Founder Nicola Elliott’s Monthly Musings For September

From creative rituals and calming podcasts to limited-edition wellbeing upgrades, here’s a little look at what our founder is loving this month. 

Our Founder Nicola Elliott’s Monthly Musings For September

Hello September! 

Is it just me, or did summer disappear in a flash? While I’ll miss the long, lazy days, there’s something undeniably lovely about September. A sense of routine returns. The evenings start to feel a little more golden and a lot more cosy. 

Here’s what I’m loving right now… 

Podcast I Can’t Stop Recommending

Currently obsessed with Stompcast by Dr Alex George. His goal? To get us all walking; and I’m 100% on board. If you’ve been here a while, you’ll know I’m a big fan of morning movement (ideally within 15 minutes of waking, sleep experts swear by it for a reason). His conversations are honest, practical, and full of gentle inspiration. A must for your September playlist. 

New Treatment Tried: Lymphatic Drainage Massage

I kicked off the month with a little wellness indulgence - and let me tell you, this one lives up to the hype. Wooden tools, cupping, hot cream - it’s all about encouraging your body to release toxins and reduce puffiness. I visited Shape House London and left feeling noticeably lighter (and not just physically). 

Words That Hit Home

“There is a future version of you begging you to enjoy where you are now.” 
Saw this recently and it stopped me in my tracks. A little reminder to pause and be present. 

NEOM Pick of the Month: The NEW Limited Edition Wellbeing Pods

Say hello to this season’s style icons. Our limited-edition Wellbeing Pods have had a seriously chic upgrade and I’m obsessed

Tortie is a much-loved favourite, back by popular demand and better than ever. It’s elegant, warm, and blends beautifully into autumn interiors. 

Clemmie is the new girl on the block - bold, playful, and ready to steal the show. A statement piece that doesn’t just look good but brings those 100% natural fragrances into any space in seconds. 

I've already placed them around the house and trust me... they’ll go fast. 

Creativity, Revisited

Over the summer, I rediscovered my scrapbook and watercolours, aiming for a painting a day. With September busyness creeping in, I’ve scaled it to 15 minutes a day — but even that tiny pocket of creativity feels nourishing. It’s amazing how swapping a scroll for a sketch can spark joy. 

Sleep Upgrades (Because School Runs Are Back)

Confession: I’ve been counting down to bedtime thanks to the Scoom Pillow. Supportive, dreamy, and just-right squishy. And yes, I’ve added another The Pillow Drop cushion to my collection! Their clever designs make great gifts, if you can bear to part with one. 

Spotted on Instagram

@riseart is my latest scroll-stopper. A curated feed of artists on the rise and seriously inspiring if your walls (or your creativity) need a refresh. 

So that’s my September moodboard! A mix of calm moments, small joys, and fresh starts. Here's to routines that feel good, early nights we actually look forward to, and that comfort of autumn settling in. 

 

Until next month,
