Hamper full of goods!

We’re in the midst of my favourite month of this season – October. The weather is getting slightly colder, the leaves are turning red/yellow and wintery coats are finally making their first public appearance since March. *yasss but really brrr*

I think there’s no better way of preparing for the coming months than stocking my place with cosy autumnal bits. So, I was patiently waiting for my hamper to arrive… and it finally did!

This month, my seasonal hamper was full of seriously lush products. From premium scented candles to bright yellow bamboo socks, my personal style just got severely zhooshed! *lights up a candle and goes to make himself some pumpkin spice tea*

All you need is love…

… or as it appears on this t-shirt! *skips The Beatles and puts on “Panda” by Desiigner* The guys at Curartee have a fine selection of quality printed t-shirts, which are made here in the UK. The artwork I’m wearing is called “All You Need is Love” and is designed by Balazs Solti. He creates some epic animal drawings. So, make sure you check his print collection here.

The scent with an adventurous spirit.

For the past several years, my obsession with scented candles has slightly got out of hand. It all started with some generic vanilla ones but then moved onto more sophisticated scents. *poor credit card*

Founded in 1845, Charles Farris candles are wrapped in an exceptionally beautiful textured glass and hand-poured in England using only the highest quality ingredients. The scent of cloves, tobacco and mint tea quickly spread across my cosy little bedroom. Therefore, making the atmosphere calm and relaxing. *cancels his spa appointment* Their standard candles burn for approximately 50 hours and I have a special offer just for my fab readers, so…

We have you Kovered.

When I think of a smartphone case, I think about its unique design, durability and premium feel. Luckily, brands like Kovered have not only our smartphones covered but also have our environment in mind. *suddenly goes green*

Made to minimise carbon footprint, Kovered Tewa cases provide the ultimate protection for a smartphone. A lightweight veneer, fitting shell and premium lined interior make your iPhone look super chic and premium. I’d definitely recommend checking these guys out.

Oxygen for your skin.

As you may know, daily skincare routine is my number one priority. This year alone, I have gone through tons of face masks and moisturisers trying to find that secret recipe for my eternal youth… Yet, I’m still looking and the clock is ticking! *yikes* However, my prayers have been answered.

Skincare Industries has released the Oxygen & Hyaluronic Boosting Moisturiser for men. This moisturiser promotes the optimal use of oxygen which revitalises your skin complexion, smoothes wrinkles and pretty much improves everything. Therefore, it’s perfectly designed for a man like me. Someone who leads a busy lifestyle in the Big Smoke. *starts planning the 6th anniversary of his 21st birthday*

The Cornerstone of a great day!

Say no more… Cornerstone is hands down the best shaving supplier in the UK! *makes bold statements without any regrets* With its low-lather gel and newly improved razor, Cornerstone once again finds itself at the top of the male grooming listings and I couldn’t be any happier for them. I still have my previous pack, so I’m happy to gift this one if anyone’s up for having a razor with my initial on it haha… OR maybe I have a reader with the same initials (SP) as me? Please make yourself known! *on a quest to find his shaving buddy*

A sophisticated trio.

Nothing screams dapper more than matching ties, sock and squares but finding those can be quite nerve-wracking. Therefore, the guys at Tied Together will hand select this sophisticated trio for you. This set of products provides a versatile look and it’s an absolute ‘must have’ for any gent. No matter the occasion, you will look sharp and sexy. Pinky promise! *scroll down for the mandatory feet shot featuring socks from Tied Together*

Save the Giant Panda!

… Speaking of socks, I also received the jolly pair of socks from Swole Panda. *yay, pandas* This Bumblebee Yellow double cylinder pair is knitted from a unique bamboo blend offering the subtle touch of stand out style. To top this joyful mix, for every bamboo sock sold – a chunk of proceeds will go to save the giant panda. I mean, how can we not show some support for pandas?! *plays “Panda” by Desiigner, again*

The remedy for a healthy hair.

My latest haircare obsession – shampoo and conditioner from Hawkins and Brimble! This revitalising set of products contain Pro-Vitamin B5 and the coconut oil, which helps awaken the senses and soothe dry scalps. As someone who suffers from psoriasis, this incredible duo feeds my scalp with the right nutrients whilst keeping flakes at bay. *does the no-flakes dance*

All about the beard care.

I’m fairly new to the beard scene. So, I might not be the best man for this sort of advice. But the only thing I know for sure – regular shampoo often strips my beard of its natural oil which leaves me with a dry and itchy facial hair. *tragedy dot com*

The Miller’s beard shampoo bar from The Brighton Beard Company is the first great step towards good beard care. Free from parabens and sulphates, this shampoo bar cleanses the beard and underneath without any irritation. *beard game strong* After cleansing, just add some Old Joll’s beard oil to make your beard look fresh all day long!

Making you smile!

Last but not least, brush your teeth with charcoals to make your teeth significantly whiter and brighter. Proven fact! Activated Charcoal Teeth Whitening Powder from Pro Teeth Whitening is 100% natural and vegan-friendly. Therefore, it’s safe and kind on enamel. I’ve been using this product for over a year now and the results are really noticeable. I no longer use the whitening feature on Facetune, which is one step closer to insta-perfection! *insert the nail polish emoji here*
