Degusta Box Review February – Home Comforts

February 23, 2021November 1, 2023by Olivia23 Comments

I can’t quite believe its now my 3rd month of receiving my Degusta box! I feel like as more months pass the more exciting it gets. Getting that delivery text message the day before almost makes it hard to sleep. I sometimes feel like a kid on Christmas Eve! Honestly, receiving these boxes has really made lockdown that more bearable. Its given me something that I can look forward to each month, which is few and far between at the moment.

This months box is all about home comforts – which is very fitting right now isn’t it?! Every time I open my box I always say to myself, how do they know me so well? Nearly every time I have had a box they have included something I absolutely love. I feel like Degusta know me.. they really know me! The box contains some really exciting products this month, and perfect for those long lockdown days.

3 Ways to Adjust Your Self-care Routine For Autumn

November 5, 2020November 1, 2023by Olivia23 Comments

Its so important to me to make sure that self-care is practiced all year long, but I agree that it should be adapted as the seasons change. The self-care routine we do in summer should be different to the one we do in Winter. For me personally, I find the colder months the hardest on me mentally and physically as I suffer with asthma and Seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

Incorporating self care into everyday life is something I wish I had done sooner in life. It really makes such a big difference to my mental health and my overall wellbeing. I thought I’d share some tips you could add to your Autumn self care and some tips I even use myself over the colder months. I hope they help and you can add new steps to your routine from this post!

Featuredby Olivia18 Comments

I almost feel like I’m unintentionally doing a mini series with all of my self-love, self-confidence and self-acceptance posts. I think its so important in the current climate that we are kind to ourselves and show ourselves love. Society and ourselves put pressure on us to be a certain way, and when we don’t fit that mould we aren’t seen as worthy enough, which is of course not true. I had never heard of the phrase self-compassion until a few days ago, so decided to do my own research and then extend what I have learnt to here on my blog.
