Unfortunately, we don’t all have ‘blogger worthy’ bathrooms (especially if you’re renting) and aren’t able to get Aesop freebies. Don’t get me wrong, I love Aesop, but with money being tight for all of us right now and getting through hand wash like hoarders with supermarket loo roll, it’s just a tad on the expensive side. BUT there is a wonderful, semi-affordable solution in the name of & Other Stories…

I love & Other Stories beauty range and I was luckily (unawares) but equipped before this all erupted. My sister had brought me the Arabesque Wood Hand Care Kit, as a moving in present. She knows me too well. This particular set is scented with lemon and ginger brings a freshness (perfect for bathrooms) with a ‘woody depth of moss and amber’. I prefer stronger more musky smells to sweet scents so this one is perfect for my taste. However, they have an array of different scents, plenty to choose from.

The packaging I also LOVE. The design is modern, not twee, very much in keeping with the brand handwriting and will fit into the majority of bathroom interiors from Scandi to Boho, whatever your taste. Not only does it look great but & Other Stories also do what they can for the planet. They have a recycling incentive with all of there beauty products: just simply return any empty beauty container to one of their stores and you’ll receive a 10% off voucher for any future purchases within three months! (Of course, if you’re reading this in the current COVID-19 lockdown, we’re certainly not going to any stores. But save them up for when the world finally gets back to normal, and treat yourself to a post quarantine present!)

But the best part: The price! Individually the Hand Wash RRP at £6 and the Hand Lotion at £8. And the Hand Care Kit - £17! Not only can I wash and lotion my hands, but with beautiful scents and packaging which is blogger bathroom worthy, we can do our bit for the planet too. It’s important we look after ourselves and others at this point in time, and if we can do it by something as simple as washing our hands, it’s really not a big ask. We can, however, treat ourselves whilst doing so. Guilt-free self-care goes a long way.

Stay Safe.
