I've been using Tropic products for years as the entire range is vegan and cruelty-free, mostly organic and absent of many of the common skincare nasties which disrupt our hormones. It's also a carbon neutral company that double offsets it's emissions so you can shop with an eye on the planet too.

My most used products include the Sun Day Facial UV Defense - an absolute must as we head into Summer - alongside the 100% mineral-based and reef safe Skin Shade Sun Cream and last but not least, the Super Greens Nutrient Boost Oil.

Exhale's coffee not only tastes FAB but it's also organic, fair trade and lab tested. I love that they are a B Corp, the decaf is mountain water processed (yipee!) and the packaging is plastic-free and compostable. Best decaf EVER!

My 600W Nutribullet gets used multiple times a day to make smoothies, deserts, blend coffee beans, mill linseeds and grind nuts/ice.

This beautifully illustrated book by local Menopause Nutritionist, Karen Newby is such as comforting, accessible and informative read. Aimed at the lay person, it covers what is going on in your body hormonally during the menopause transition, talks about the four helpful areas we need to 'shift' (with sections called 'reset', 'cleanse', 'rest' and 'eat') with helpful tips on how to do just that, and ends with a troubleshooting section on therapeutic foods that help and areas that can hinder your mind-body health. Empowering women from their own kitchens, Karen explains in plain English what might be helping and hindering you during this important life stage interspersed with extra bonus advice from experts in their respective fields (think sleep experts, menopause specialist GPs etc). This gorgeous, hardback manual would make a perfect gift for a girlfriend or female relative, is written on the right side of non-patronizing and is SUPER easy on the eye. I mean, who doesn't love a hard bound coffee-table, Insta-worthy, self-help, book-right?

Hormonal birth control is taken by millions of women globally yet until recently, we knew little about how the Pill affects all the non-reproductive systems of the body as research on these other systems was conducted almost exclusively on men!

Dr Hill uses the latest science to reveal how the Pill is changing women's brains, affecting their choice of sexual partner and even how it's rewiring our response to stress (and not in a good way!). A must-read for anyone thinking about putting themselves or their daughter on the birth control pill.

This is the fastest selling vegan cook book ever with good reason. I use it weekly, have lent it out (reluctantly) a million times and most of the pages are stuck together with maple syrup and coconut milk. You don't need to be vegan to enjoy these simple and tasty recipes: they're a great way for ALL of us to get more plants into our lives. Order it now, you can thank me later.

Even if you're not a fully fledged vegan, I cannot recommend this book's easy peasy recipes highly enough! It's full of healthy, flavoursome ideas for your next meal and they really are quick to make. It has a handy kitchen and store cupboard essentials list at the beginning, plus VERY handy tips on how to actually cook in 15 minutes successfully. Family faves in this house are the kerala cauliflower curry, and red pepper and mushroom fajitas with a cheeky summer punch slushie on the side!

Your mind will be blown at how many interesting, tasty and quick recipes can be made with just 5 ingredients. Think black bean mushrooms with soba noodles, tofu harissa scramble or kale, pomegranate and sweet potato salad YUM! My most made recipe in here is the sweet potato brownies. SO. FREAKIN'. GOOD

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, Wim Hof and his ice bath antics will be on your radar.

In this book, he breaks down his famous techniques for super charging our health, strength and happiness into easy to read chapters and a step by step approach. How he can spend hours in an ice bath and doesn't even feel cold? I read this book in a weekend and think you will too. Also makes a great present for anyone interested in cold water dipping.

Unsure whether to go water-based, oil-based for your personal lubricant? Me too!

Enjoy these hypoallergenic products with gay abandon knowing that they are available on NHS prescription and recommended by gynaecologists.

This is the thermometer I use to check if I've ovulated. You just take your temperature every day at the same time on rising and pop into your free Femometer app. When your temperature jumps up by more than 0.3 degrees and stays up for more than 10 days, you can look back and see that you've ovulated on the day the temperature shoots up. You would use this instead of ovulation test strips. Simple and inexpensive as you only buy the thermometer once!
