October brings a change in season, routine, and a rethink about what we need to nourish our skin, hair, body and mind. I’m always sad to leave Europe, but I was so excited to return to the US for our latest Agent event! 

This time we hit NYC and popped up for a full Agent-style takeover at Upside Pizza, where we handed out complimentary organic sourdough collagen pizza by the slice, made with our best-selling holi (mane) supplement. Once again we gave out hundreds of free goodie bags containing holi (mag), calm (beauty), and some holi (oil) minis along with a scratch card game with on-the-spot prizes of holi (mane). But best of all we got to meet more of our wonderful community! I’m truly grateful that so many of you came along - and huge thanks must go to my team who did such a great job in planning, designing and being just brilliant on the day. Even Federico and Giorgio joined in with their little chef outfits! 

And after all that fun, and a some really long days, here are some of my recent finds and old favorites for treats, relaxing and boosting our wellbeing at this time of year:

H A I R   &   B E A U T Y

T H E  N O U R I S H I N G   B O D Y   O I L:  Our bodies have had a lot of extra exposure over the summer months, and now many of us are having to adjust to cooler temperatures or even central heating. That’s a lot for skin to cope with, so I like to make sure I nourish mine with holi (body) because it goes deeper than just giving a gorgeous glow. 

The highly concentrated formula of key bioactives blends scientific and wildcrafted ingredients like organic helichrysum to target dryness and support regeneration, Japanese rice bran oil that’s a lipid-rich source of vitamins E and B, Omega-9, and essential fatty acids for deep nourishment, and rosehip seed oil for skin rejuvenation.  It’s scientifically engineered to:

• firm and hydrate - significantly increasing skin elasticity and restoring moisture.

• correct and brighten - visibly reducing the appearance of scars, dark spots, and sun damage, while evening and brightening skin tone for an ultimate glow.

• Replenish - boosting collagen production for youthful-looking skin.

You already know how wonderful it is when you apply it after you’ve towel dried post-shower or bath. But I’ve discovered that if I use it when I’m in the steam room it really works wonders - and the aroma is so therapeutic too.

T H E   H A I R   G R O W T H   S P R A Y: Our holi (growth) 84 spray is an intensive, leave-in scalp serum formulated to stimulate growth, reduce shedding, and promote thicker, fuller strands in as little as 84 days. Powered by proven actives and a luxurious botanical blend, it’s gentle yet powerful, suitable for all hair types, and enriched with nourishing oils like copaiba and peppermint for a soothing and invigorating application.

T H E   S C A L P   S T I M U L A T O R: Our stainless steel gua sha scalp comb is a luxurious massage tool that stimulates circulation and hair growth when used consistently every day. It is also specifically designed to ease tension and promote relaxation as it works on those tight muscles. And by encouraging circulation and bringing nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles, the comb stimulates proper hair growth and enhances scalp health. 

T H E   H E A L T H Y   H A I R B R U S H: Which hairbrush is so good that I’ve had it in my bag all summer and it’s been all over Europe with me? It’s this one! The blue La Bonne Brosse mini brush - and it’s my absolute favorite. Featuring a classic mix of boar bristles (infused with keratin) and nylon fibers, this brush effortlessly works through your hair. The keratin naturally moisturizes and nourishes - resulting in exceptional shine - and the irregular, manual bristle placement means it thoroughly detangles every hair type—thick, curly, or fine. So while you brush, your scalp gets a gentle massage, and the hair fiber is simultaneously nourished and protected. 

T H E   G E N T L E   O N   Y O U R   H A I R   S C R U N C H I E: If you tie your hair up during the day, at the gym, or overnight, do it gently with a silk scrunchie so there’s no pulling, stretching or breakage like you can get with some regular hair ties. We love these Back to School skinny silk scrunchies from Slip because they’re super soft and gentle. Made with the same slipsilk used in their award-winning pillow cases, they’re just as kind to fine and delicate hair.

T H E   S U P P L E M E N T S 

holi (mane) - our award winning, bestselling, unrivaled daily supplement has now transformed over 500,000 heads of hair. Let’s take a look at why our customers are saying “It has become a daily ritual that is here to stay”. 

Designed to stimulate hair growth, strengthen nails and protect the skin whilst revitalizing from within, it’s a nutrient-dense supplement that combines marine collagen and pearl powder, and is rich in over 30 trace minerals. 

Human Ultracell VI for Women - I’m such a huge fan of this little bottle of goodness - a cellular therapy designed to regenerate cells, ward off the effects of aging and boost overall health. I honestly feel like I'm reverse-aging. 

Not only can it enhance the appearance of your skin, working from within to boost firmness, elasticity and hydration, it can also offer targeted support for fertility, hormonal balance, and systemic rejuvenation. Here’s a longer read that I published recently which does a deeper dive into the science of sheep-derived cellular therapy and looks at some of the additional benefits across the body and the brain.

NAC is one of the supplements that’s helped me on my personal health journey over the years and I’d recommend it as an addition to your wellbeing routine. Benefits range from from detoxification to brain health, glutathione synthesis (glutathione is essential for many bodily functions, including DNA synthesis and supporting the immune system), female fertility, sperm quality, PCOS benefits, blood sugar regulation, oxidative damage prevention, and it acts as a direct antioxidant, directly neutralizing free radicals - those unstable atoms that can cause cell damage and inflammation.

P E T   P R O J E C T S: Spending time with my boys Federico and Giorgio is one of the most rewarding parts of my day and always boosts my wellbeing. Time with our dogs has been shown to reduce stress, improve mood and of course we increase our exercise levels too, with all the walks and play. My two are inseparable these days and over the summer break they loved exploring the South of France with me. Federico was determined to learn to swim in the pool, and they both loved their afternoon downtime in the shade. They even like a bit of culture these days, so in Paris they got to see The Louvre. 

S L E E P   B E T T E R: We’ve written about sleep hygiene for years including the behaviours we need to change to ensure we fall asleep more easily - and stay asleep for longer. We always advocate how important it is to get a better sleep for better health.

And of course I created our cherry-flavored calm (beauty) daily supplement as a sleep aid too. It’s a non-drowsy, melatonin-free liquid formula that combines vitamins, minerals, and amino acids like spermidine, taurine, and GABA to promote ageless beauty, restore calm, reduce muscle tension, repair skin and hair, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being. Just one sachet half an hour to an hour before bedtime does the trick - or if you’ve not tried our Sleepy Girl Mocktail before bedtime, now’s your chance! 

But did you know that sleeping next to your dog can help too? Studies have shown that sleeping with a dog can increase feelings of comfort and security, leading to better sleep quality. Dogs can also help regulate breathing and heart rate, promoting a deeper and more restful sleep.

C A S U A L   C H I C: I love these Susie Kondi Shallis shorts so much that I now own a few pairs in different colors! I match them with this coordinated tee. They’re made from the softest terry fabric and are so easy, cute and perfect to just throw on and go.

F O R   Y O U R   F E E T: The perfect footwear choice to go with the short and tee set is this Prada Collapse Re-Nylon suede-trimmed sneaker. Such a smart design - it might look like a sporty lace-up but it slips on like a ballerina. Lightweight but structured, classy whatever you style them with, and so comfy you can wear them all day and then some.
