Cretan Olive Oil

I enjoyed a wonderful holiday in Crete last year and the food was a true highlight. I brought back a precious bottle of olive oil made in a remote village and every now and then I treat myself to a glug drizzled on salad or even better just wiped up with crusty bread. I’ve been rationing it as it is divine and I’m pleased I’ve now found The Hellenic Deli who ship Cretan products to keep me going until I can return to the island myself! Find the product.

Deep Work by Cal Newport

This book has completely transformed the way I work. I can honestly say I’m working smarter and not harder. Using the advice and techniques I’ve even managed to write my second book without missing out on any family time at all. I’ve read it three times and learn something new each time I devour its pages. Find the product.

Kate Percy’s Go Bites

I initially used these as a fuel for when I was running but now use them for snacks during the day too. Tasty little balls packed full of energy and natural ingredients. They come in handy little packets of three so are great to pop in your pocket or bag. I buy them by the box load and my favourite flavour is the strawberry and cashew. Find the product.

Kraft Wrapping Paper

I realised how much wrapping paper I was using for Christmas and birthdays and that most of this couldn’t be recycled because it had foil and glitter on it. My sister recommended this heavy duty brown paper and I love it. I bought coloured string and a variety of stickers to decorate it and tags to label the parcels (all recyclable too) and they look great, kind of vintage! Find the product.

CarysRhianJewellery

I keep seeing beautiful pieces of silver jewellery appearing on my Instagram feed and want to buy them all! Carys hand makes all her jewellery using eco silver and uses the simplicity of nature as her inspiration. I love the textures and shapes and the minimalist approach as I’m not in to a lot of bling!

She simply wanted to run, but when she refused to step off the course, she challenged far more than a race. She challenged the belief…
