The world can wait.
Surgery, illness, injury, burnout or simply a period that's taken more out of you than expected. Whatever's happened, someone thinks you could do with a bit of looking after.
So here's some practical stuff, a few lovely treats and absolutely no expectation that you'll be back firing on all cylinders by Thursday.
Get comfortable, take what you need, the to-do list can bloody wait.
The Good Stuff...
COSY COSMETICS LIP BALM
A little lip care for the bedside table, handbag or whichever surface has become your temporary headquarters.
Small, useful and one less thing to go hunting for.
PASSIONFRUIT MARTINI GUMMIES
Cocktail-inspired gummy bears. No complicated wellness benefits or inspirational message, just a little packet of fruity happiness for whenever you fancy one.
DEEP SLEEP PULSE POINT OIL
A lavender and chamomile rollerball for a little bedtime ritual.
Because being told to rest and actually managing to switch off are two very different things.
SMUG LAVENDER WHEAT WRAP
A soft wheat wrap you can warm or chill according to the instructions. For comfort when you're resting.
Check with your healthcare team before applying heat or cold to an injury or surgical area.
PROBABLY FULL OF EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE TOTE
For your notes, essentials, snacks and the assorted paraphernalia of getting back on your feet.
We suggest delegating the carrying wherever possible.
OTHERLY SALTED CARAMEL OATM*LK CHOCOLATE
Lovely plant-based chocolate with salted caramel and a pinch of sea salt. No medicinal purpose whatsoever, just something delicious to look forward to.
NOTEBOOK
Appointment questions, things to remember, that important thought you had five seconds ago.
Get it out of your head and onto paper, your brain has enough bloody admin.
DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT PILL BOX
A handy little organiser for medication, where suitable, because keeping track of everything can be a pain in the arse.
Follow your medication instructions and check with your pharmacist before transferring tablets from their original packaging.
NO RUSH BY THE WAY...
You don't have to make recovery look productive.
If you're doing a little better today, lovely, if you're not, that's okay too. Let people help, follow the advice you've been given, and don't feel obliged to make any of it look easy.
Getting your shit together can wait.
With love,
A LITTLE PRACTICAL NOTE...
Lovely things still come with instructions.
Please read the packaging before using anything in your box, including ingredients, allergens, warnings and usage guidance.
These are comfort and everyday-care products, not medical treatments. If you're unsure whether something is suitable for you, particularly during pregnancy, recovery or medical treatment, please check with your healthcare professional first.
When in doubt, check it out.
YOUR INBOX COULD USE LESS SHIT.
Honest chat, the hard bits, the awkward bits and the things we all discuss on WhatsApp but apparently not in public.
Plus new boxes, useful finds and whatever we currently have opinions about.
