My Everyday Essentials - What I Use & Why
I’m constantly asked what products I use, what I’ve swapped and what I recommend. So I’ve put them all in one place.
Everything here is something I personally use or have properly tested. From household products and water filters to skincare, supplements and EMF products, these are the changes I’ve made in my own life as I’ve become more aware of what’s in the products we use every day.
I’m not interested in replacing everything for the sake of it. I look for products that work, have cleaner ingredients where possible and make sense in real life.
You don’t have to change everything overnight. Start with the products you use most, replace things as they run out and make better choices as you go.
This isn’t about perfection. It’s about becoming more aware of what you’re bringing into your home and putting on or in your body - and then deciding what you want to change.
How I choose what makes the list
I don't recommend something because a brand has sent it to me or because it happens to be trending. I want to know what's in it, whether it actually works and whether I'd spend my own money on it.
Most importantly, I use the products myself. If I wouldn't use it in my own home, on my own skin or as part of my own routine, it doesn't belong here.
