Let's dive in!
The Snoozeband Silk Sleep Mask Headphones
For when your brain won’t switch off — at home or 35,000 feet in the air…
Whether it’s the heat, the school holidays, or that never-ending scroll habit, getting quality sleep in summer can feel impossible. Enter the Snoozeband Silk Sleep Mask with Headphones — the sleep-saving, travel-friendly sidekick we all need.
Why we love it:
- Blocks out light and plays your favourite playlist, podcast, or sleep meditation — without fiddly earbuds or pressure on your ears.
- Made from dreamy silk, it feels like luxury but works like a business tool (because rest is part of the work).
- The slim profile makes it ideal for planes, trains, hotels, or your own bed — no more jet lag spirals or snoring seatmates stealing your peace.
Why it matters this summer:
Your rest matters just as much as your to-do list. Whether you’re flying out for a conference, escaping to a beachside Airbnb, or trying to reset your sleep routine during long summer days, this clever bit of kit helps you switch off and show up. It’s like packing calmness, deep rest, and boundaries all in one.
The Pure Earth Collection Yellow Swimming Costume
For the women who want to feel good in their skin — and about their choices.
This isn't just swimwear; it's swimwear that makes sense. Ethically made, thoughtfully designed, and flattering, this cheerful yellow number from Pure Earth Collection is made using non-toxic, sustainable fabric and fits like wearing a supportive hug. Finally, something that actually considers you when you're poolside.
Why we love it:
- It's double-layered for support, doesn't dig in or ride up, and (praise be!) has no fiddly cups or annoying wires.
- Made from plant-based and recycled fabrics; kind to your skin and our planet.
- The colour is joyfully bold. Basically, it's confidence in a costume.
Why it matters this summer:
Because you're not here to hide. Whether you're chasing the kids, diving into a lake, or floating with a cocktail post-retreat, you deserve to feel good. This piece wraps around your body with purpose and comfort, reminding you that aligned choices can still feel fabulous. No compromises. Just confidence.
Not Your Grandma’s Floral Compression Socks
For the woman who’s flying high, working long, or festival dancing ‘til midnight (and still wants happy legs).
Compression socks are having their moment — and thankfully, they’ve had a full style makeover. These floral beauties from Not Your Grandma’s do everything a good compression sock should: they reduce swelling, boost circulation, and ease the ache after long hours standing, sitting, or dancing in sandals you definitely should’ve broken in first.
Why we love them:
- They’re medical-grade but look like something you’d actually want to wear.
- Ideal for travel days, work-from-anywhere setups, long shoots, or festival weekends.
- Designed by a nurse — so yes, they actually work.
Why it matters this summer:
Because tired legs are not the vibe. Whether you’re jetting off, standing all day at a pop-up, or running back-to-back meetings with no desk time, these socks are a secret support system that keep you going without the crash. Bold, bright, and genuinely useful.
Gym+Coffee 1L Hydrate Bottle
For when you're on the go and hydration is the first thing you forget.
Staying hydrated when your brain's in ten places at once is a full-time job. This 1-litre bottle from Gym+Coffee makes it easy, cute, and wildly effective to keep sipping through even the busiest summer days.
Why we love it:
- Holds a full litre (no more constantly refilling a teeny water bottle you got free at a networking event in 2018).
- Leak-proof, BPA-free, and tough enough to survive airport scrambles, beach bags, and bootcamp class.
- Available in Cotton Candy, Mint and Black. Hello, dopamine bottle.
Why it matters this summer:
Because dehydration isn't cool. Low energy, fuzzy thinking, and that mid-afternoon crash? Often down to not drinking enough. This bottle is your reminder, your sidekick, your desk bestie. Take it on your summer adventures, from client days to coastal walks, and feel the difference when your body's actually running on fuel, not fumes.
eToro Investment Platform
For the woman who's ready to learn, earn, and evolve her financial future — one empowered step at a time.
Money talk can feel heavy, especially for women building deeply personal businesses without a traditional safety net. But what if this summer, you gave yourself permission to learn the language of wealth without fear, guilt, or gatekeeping?
eToro is a user-friendly investment platform designed to open up financial markets to real people. You don't need to be an expert. You just need to be curious and ready to explore what financial empowerment looks like for you.
Why we love it:
- You can trade crypto, stocks, and more, but also copy seasoned investors and learn as you go.
- Their education hub is packed with jargon-free, bite-sized lessons (yes to learning without being patronised).
- It puts wealth-building within reach - no secret clubs, no 'bro culture' energy.
Why it matters this summer:
Because money confidence isn't about mastering the markets, it's about no longer outsourcing your future. Even if you dip a toe in, building your financial literacy can change the way you make decisions, price your offers, and show up in your business. You don't have to go all-in — you just have to begin.
And there you have it, your sun-powered summer edit, curated for the women who need a little less noise and a little more alignment.
These aren't just products and services, they're small but mighty reminders that you deserve to feel supported, seen, and powerful in your daily life. And while summer won't last forever, your sense of possibility can.
So, whether you're taking client calls poolside, planning your next big move from a beach lounger, or finally giving yourself that much-earned brunch break, these picks are made to support your glow-up - inside and out.
We'll be back in autumn with a fresh round of aligned picks, but until then? We believe in you (always).
