Hopping on a plane this festive season? Or perhaps looking to fill the downtime during the Christmas holidays (all 3 weeks of it).
We’re making your travel journey that bit easier with this clever luggage find, this is a great day out with the family, and women, take note, take some time to think about putting yourselves first. Let this vitamin brand become your lifelong companion. As we see out 2024 with, no doubt, busy schedules yet lots of time to fill, enjoy December, there’s plenty to enjoy, but busy mums, don’t forget the self-care too.

TRAVEL WITH THIS Micro Scooter easy ride-on suitcase
Family holidays – amazing. Travelling – tough. So, in our constant quest to ease the journey to the destination, we have found this ride-on suitcase which lets your child climb aboard while they can be easily pulled by a parent using a handle. Plus, giving your child their own luggage means they can pack their favourite toys, clothes and snacks freeing up space in your check-in bags and giving them, often, exciting autonomy over their own packing. Created by Micro Scooters, this easy ride-on suitcase with a built-in trike is designed for kids aged 18 months, up to a weight of 20kg or around five years. The storage capacity is bigger than the suitcase scooter – 22l – and another big difference is that the suitcase section is detachable. That means you can use the lightweight trike to wheel your little one around on holiday without having to take the case along. It’s not going to replace a buggy, but its great to get around an airport, and ideal for kids who can’t quite manage walking everywhere without one.
BOOK THIS Dr David Jack's Pregnancy Facial
One of the most frustrating things about managing your skincare and beauty routine while pregnant is that so many treatments and ingredients are off-limits. As one of the UK’s leading and most sought-after skin experts, Dr. David Jack collaborated with their in-house Women’s Health expert Dr. Jo Mennie and Head Aesthetician Izabela Pawlitka to come up with a treatment that specifically targets the skin concerns that may pop up during pregnancy, such as melasma and hormonal acne, all while using pregnancy-safe products. The Pregnancy Facial is one of the few treatments on the market that safely incorporates a peel—using pregnancy- and breastfeeding-safe azelaic acid—alongside a sculpting massage, dermaplaning, and mesotherapy. The latter involves superficial injections of hyaluronic acid, delivering a vital hydration boost. You’ll walk away feeling proud for choosing a treatment that prioritises your skin’s needs over a standard pampering session. – Ina Yulo Stuve
SIGN UP TO THIS Her.9
While vitamin deficiencies are prevalent amongst women, and often with busy, on-the-go mums, we know that an inside-out approach to wellness should be top of mind. New discovery Her.9 is a revolutionary supplement rewriting women’s wellness. This brand emerges as a groundbreaking approach to nutritional supplementation that challenges everything we thought we knew about women’s wellness. Gone are the days of fragmented supplement lines targeting women at arbitrary life stages – menstrual health, pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause – each requiring a different product, a different expense, a different approach. Her.9 reimagines this with a single, comprehensive solution that understands women as dynamic, evolving beings with continuous nutritional needs. The most exciting part of the innovation? The DuoCap technology solves the fundamental problem of nutrient absorption allowing nutrients to be delivered to the exact point in the gut where maximum absorption occurs. Including no fillers, synthetics or GMOs, this is a supplement that should be your lifelong companion supporting you through every significant stage of your life.
