Battle stress, combat tired feet... these new products will help you feel your best in the run up to the big day TIME FOR TEA OMGTea Organic Matcha AA Grade (£17.95, 30g) Shop the full range at https://omgteas.co.uk If you were glued to the 2024 Paris Olympics as much as we were, it may interest you to know that 2008 double gold medallist turned BBC pundit Becky Addlington OBE drinks matcha tea to support her overall health and wellbeing. “Since I started drinking matcha tea every morning I’ve noticed a massive improvement in my energy levels,” she shares. “I used to be a big coffee drinker but since I started drinking OMGTea Matcha, I crave coffee a lot less. Now I only drink about two cups of coffee a week. I think the change from drinking lots of coffee is good for my health. I’m no longer experiencing slumps in energy or little ups and downs throughout the day. I see matcha as a healthy alternative to coffee. It’s improved my mood, giving me a sense of calm and overall wellbeing, and leaves me feeling satisfied for longer. It’s also massively improved my skin – it’s been clearer and brighter since I made the switch.” What’s good enough for an Olympic champ is good enough for us we say! Give it a try to get you through those tough wedding planning days.

BYE TO DRY EYE Peep Club Instant Relief Eye Spray (£15,17ml) www.peepclub.co.uk If you’re off on a honeymoon where you’ll be in and out of the pool or sea, be sure to take care of your peepers. Exposure to chlorine, salt and even freshwater can wreak havoc with the eye barrier. This is why the experts at Peep Club have put together their top eyecare tips for swimming on your honeymoon... On swim days, start and end the day with a spritz or two of Peep Club’s Instant Relief Eye Spray. This will help fortify the tear film against swim environments, especially chlorine and salt water. Invest in a good pair of tight-fitting goggles. Consider those with UV protection as UV rays reflect off water making them extra strong while swimming. Avoid hot showers right after swimming. As this will exacerbate any allergies or irritations. Stick with a cool shower instead. If your eyes feel irritated after swimming, try to flush the irritant out with clean drinking water, saline water, or Peep Club’s faithful Eye Spray. Don’t rub! CWM beauty and wellness editor Kelly Andrews says, “As a dry eye sufferer, I keep my Instant Relief Eye Spray on my desk and spritz regularly throughout the day whenever my eyes start feeling tired from starting at the computer. Not only does it treat the eye itself it also improves the quality of the delicate eyelid and under eye skin too.” JUST KEEP ROLLING ALONG Tisserand Aromatherapy Rollerballs: Restore Balance, Real Calm, Energy Boost, and Happy Vibes (£9, 10ml) www.tisserand.com Essential oils have the ability to switch up our emotional and mental state, but if you’re new to aromatherapy, getting started can feel like a bit of a minefield. The easiest and most effective way to experience their power is all about pairing them with your pulse points according to Tisserand Aromatherapy and their small but mighty rollerballs help to do just that. “Your pulse points are the parts of the body where your blood is closest to the skin,” explains Jo Kellet, Tisserand Aromatherapy Essential Oil Expert. “Applying here allows for fast absorption and quicker results. To maximise the benefit of both your olfactory senses and your pulse points, it’s best to place them where your nose can still get a whiff!” So, apply the rollers to several places on your body: temples, wrists, behind the ears, or where your collarbone joins to your sternum, where you’ll find the perfect dip – just the right size for a rollerball application. “Already a fan of the Real Calm Rollerball, I recently tried out the Happy Vibes version for a switch up. I love the uplifting blend combining 100 per cent natural pure essential oils of zesty lemon tea tree, refreshing bergamot and cheering nutmeg, which awakens my senses during any daily slumps,” Kelly says.
