There are little things you can do every day to improve your overall wellbeing, such as reading inspirational quotes, laughing at hilarious memes, or our personal favourite, trying out new beauty products.
For our most recent Discovery Bag, we sent a few lucky members a selection of products designed to improve their health and wellbeing, including a certified organic body scrub, a silk pillowcase and a pillow mist. So, did these products make a difference? Let’s find out…

Natura Siberica OBLEPIKHA SIBERICA BODY SCRUB
We say:
This certified organic scrub contains herbs and oils all the way from Siberia. It not only exfoliates the skin, but also helps to eliminate toxins to leave it feeling soft and smooth.
You say:
“My skin was dry before using this scrub; now it’s softer and I am sure after a few more uses, I will really see a bigger difference. I like that the granules were small and worked well with the soft honey.” – Ellelily

“To be honest, I hadn’t heard of some of the ingredients, but I was pleased to see that it was free from hidden nasties and still delivered amazingly soft results. My skin instantly feels hydrated and baby soft. I don’t even have to moisturise after I use it, because the oils jump straight into action.” – Sparkle77
Lilysilk 25 Momme Terse Luxury Pillowcase
We say:
What’s so great about silk, you ask? Well, the silk used to make this pillowcase in particular contains the same amino acids and proteins as our own skin. This means it helps skin (and hair) to retain moisture overnight.
You say:
“My hair is quite weak and I’ve sometimes found a few hairs on my pillow that have fallen out, so it was incredibly exciting getting the chance to trial this pillowcase. All I have to say is that it works! After using the pillowcase for a few days, I haven’t yet found a hair on it and that really is just amazing. The soft, smooth material means that there’s minimal friction when my hair rubs on the pillowcase and the results speak for themselves.” – chunky.monkeys

“After reading the list of benefits for this product, I was mildly sceptical. How could a pillowcase make such a difference? [But] when I awoke the next day, I was surprised at how soft and silky my hair felt! There were hardly any of the usual knots, my curls were still looking okay, with no static. A quick look in the mirror showed no ‘pillow crease’ marks on my face, either! I was impressed!” – notsojayne
L’OCCITANE Relaxing Pillow Mist
We say:
This mist is 100 per cent natural, and made with essential oils to promote relaxation and encourage sleep. The scent has notes of lavender, bergamot, mandarin, sweet orange and geranium.
You say:
“I sprayed one of my pillows about 10 minutes before I went to bed (two sprays was the perfect amount for me). I have always used essential oils and found the mist better than drops on my pillow. When I went to bed, the scent was subtle. Overall, I think it’s a great combination of essential oils that I found quite relaxing, and it definitely helped with falling asleep.” – Sharon691

“The main note seems to be lavender, but the bergamot and orange were more prominent in my experience. I applied the mist on both mine and my partner’s pillows on various nights, and neither of us had any issues with the scent being too strong, and we both fell asleep with ease. Normally I wake up several times throughout the night, but with this spray I don’t recall waking up once! Such a blessing!” – dimmieloves
