Seduced? Us too.
Its founder, Ellea Whamond, is the woman behind the brand’s full complement of sensorial wonders – from dreamy shampoos and conditioners to body oils and moisturisers – each one suffused with herbs, flowers, and fruit oils that sing of the seasons and the British landscape, without a synthetic in sight.
Just occasionally, though, Ellea wrenches herself away from distilling wildflower meadows. And when she does? These are the five objects that bring her joy and delight.

Gold Rings
I have a silly number of these stacked on my fingers on a daily basis. I've just gathered them throughout the years from various places, holidays, gifts and I am now completely and utterly wedded to them. I never take them off - not even to shower or sleep. I don't feel like myself without them.
Free People Dress
This dress is one of the best things I own. It looks pretty but it's also super practical and surprisingly hardy. It has pockets (!!) and the fabric is weighty enough to actually allow you to put things in them. It's also very low maintenance being a gorgeously hippy, crinkly fabric. I wear it for all sorts of things from weekend gardening to summer weddings! It comes in multiple colours, many of which I am slowly accumulating...
Relax Bath & Body Oil
It seems obvious to include a 100 Acres product, but I genuinely use our Relax Bath & Body Oil every single day. I slather it on my body right at the end of my shower when my skin is still damp, rub it in and within moments, it's absorbed. It makes you smell amazing for the whole day and keeps your skin looking moisturised and like you actually take care of it. I also put it on my hands and neck before I go to sleep every night - the scent is magical to drift off to sleep to.
Cowboy Boots
Believe it or not, these are my go-to everyday shoes. They are so easy to throw on, make even the most boring outfit ten times better and they go with everything from long, wide-legged trousers to dresses. I genuinely believe life is too short to wear things you don't absolutely adore.
Marmite!
I cannot go a single day without Marmite, preferably on toast with a cup of tea. How painfully English. Give me a cup of English breakfast tea with Marmite toast outside in the garden on a summer's morning surrounded by bees and birdsong followed by a bubble bath and a field frolic... heaven!
