Hey lovely,

Jasmine here, Editor of Daily Rituals! This week, I discovered the dreamiest winter wellness getaway that possibly exists in the Dolomites (exhibit A). It’s bougie though, at £500 a night, making my (now) #2 spot in the Spanish mountains seem a steal. Talking of winter wellness, there’s not long left to enter our huge giveaway over on Instagram.

As always, I’m grateful to have you here! Enjoy xo

Chanel & Chuddy: Inside Molly Mae’s Bag

Last week, Molly Mae reminded us yet again how she defied the odds of the Love Island Z list to become the people's Princess. As she sat down with British Vogue, those who don’t follow her day-to-day life on Youtube (FYI, you’re missing out) got a tiny glimpse into how she’s won us over, and why we’ll defend her like our own bloodline if anyone comes for her. 

Despite looking picture perfect, with her hair in an up-do that’s night & day from her iconic slick back, she’s her usual self - a little chaotic, totally charming, & yet still entirely aspirational. 

So let’s get into it - since Vogue didn’t do us the honours & link everything inside her £3.7k Bottega bag (which Molly calls a “bottomless pit”), we basically had no choice.

HER BEAUTY FAVOURITES

These soothing eye masks “for shoot days”, her current favourite lip combo (the Tarte Plumper, Kylie Cosmetics Liner in Smitten & the Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask) and her BFF’s new perfume launch - Late August, by Memree.

ON-THE-GO ESSENTIALS

Wet wipes that she explains “are 90% water”, Oral B floss for after lunch, “Chuddy” (aka, Airwaves), a fresh pack of Strawberry Fruit-tella for snack-emergencies and a battered pack of paracetamol as she’s a (self-confessed) “Headache Queen”.

ACCESSORIES

An swanky engraved hairbrush that she admits is “astronomical” in price, silk bobbles, two claw clips (one from Chanel, the other from Celine, of course), a singular pink roller, some fresh Brown Chanel sunglasses that were a gift from her manager Fran, and a white leather Chanel cardholder that she admits she’ll have likely lost in 2-3 working days.

The pièce de résistance? A pouch of crystals, scattered amongst everything else, that she bought from a random market stall for good energy.

Strangely (although likely unsurprising to Molly), her Vogue feature has once again split opinions - “everything I do seems to be controversial”, she explained. But if her Mary Poppins-esque bag tells us anything, it’s that she’s managing motherhood, a thriving career, heartbreak and constant internet backlash with humour, grace, and the occasional Fruit-tella.

  • 😳 Crocs’ awkward cousin: In today’s episode of products that have no business existing: “recovery shoes”. Chic? Nope. Essential? Also no. We’ll put the money saved towards our at-home sauna instead, thank you.

  • 👋 Trump who? Don’t fancy sticking around to see how it goes with the new presidency? For $250k, you can skip the next 4 years on this cruise and travel the world (US excluded, obvs). Tempting.

  • 💚 You go girl: Dating data just in from Bumble - in 2025, women are getting crystal clear on what they want, and won’t settle for anything less. Plus, 46% of singles are into “unique and quirky” interests. So for major green flags, join that club, get a lil crafty and maybe even start fermenting kombucha for fun, anything goes.  

  • ❤️‍🔥 We love to live: What’s hotter than a spicy pilates class or a trending plumping gloss? NAD+, apparently. From skin to supplements, online NAD+ products tripled in 2024 thanks to it’s longevity buzz. Expect to see more where that came from in 2025.

  • 🚨 Proceed with caution: The all-encompassing wellness industry is thriving, but so is widespread misinformation. From sleepy girl mocktails loaded with sugar to ridiculous jaw training routines, TikTok is the biggest culprit. The bad news? Misleading wellness content gets more views than the “legit” stuff. Take this as your reminder to take it all with a pinch of (Celtic) salt. 

  • 💄 Get paid by Harrods: Well, kinda. Take 5 eligible empties into store and they'll add £5 worth of points to your MyBeauty card. Challenge accepted.

  • ❄️ Name a better combo: Pilates, mulled wine & cheese boards are all in store at this cosy event on the 7th December in Clapham. 

  • 💅 A working theory: Little luxuries make you feel more abundant. Current favourites on rotation? These super soft PJ’s, a silk sleep mask, fancy shower gel, bougie bath salts and magnesium sachets.  

  • 🤝 Kegeltok: We’ll admit, we didn’t know this was a thing - but we couldn’t stop watching either. 

  • 🥚 Eggstra competition: Last week, “egg health” brand OVA launched into 600+ Boots stores with their pre-and-post pregnancy vitamins. Our hot take? Egg-cellent branding (sorry, we’ll stop) and we’ve got a lot of time for women on a mission to help other women. Their formulas aren’t revolutionary though, and they’re very similar to Artah’s Enhanced Fertility blend. Before trying either, it’s worth getting your hormones & egg reserve tested so you’ve got the full picture.

From her 9-5 marketing grind to fully embracing life as a Creator & Coach, Claudia took the leap this year - and it’s paying off. We sat down with her to get the inside scoop on how she turned her side hustle into her main gig, the wellness, beauty & haircare faves she swears by, and the non-negotiable Daily Rituals keeping her on her A-game. Ready to take notes? Same.

⚬ Claudia, let’s get to know you! Tell us about your journey to becoming a creator:

Not many people know this, but I actually started my account back in November 2017 as a private food diary to track my meals and fitness progress (I was a gym girl back then!). It wasn’t until mid-2022 that I started posting publicly, purely as a hobby outside my 9-5 marketing job. Around that time, I also shifted from fitness to self-development content too after going through my own mental health struggles.

Fast forward to May 2024, I was made redundant from my 9-5. That’s when I decided to take the big leap, going full-time as a creator and launching my coaching business. It’s been a whirlwind, but I wouldn’t change it for the world!

⚬ How long did it take to see results & earn an income?

It took time and consistency! I started earning in 2022, mostly through affiliate partnerships and a few paid collabs. Then in 2023, after three reels went viral, my following grew, and so did my income. I was juggling a lot - content creation, brand partnerships, a mindset certification, and my 9-5 (at the time) - so I joined a management agency to help me.

⚬ What’s your advice for someone thinking of putting themselves out there on socials?

Get really clear on the message you want to share and how you can help others with a struggle they might be facing. Then just go for it! The key is showing up as your authentic self because that’s what will attract the right audience. The hardest part is pushing past any limiting beliefs & self-doubt that tries to stop you from showing up, especially in the early days of posting. It’s one of the things I help people with in my 1:1 Mind Glow creator program.

⚬ Talking of Mind Glow, you recently launched your own business - congrats! Tell us about it:

Thank you! I launched my mindset coaching business, Mind Glow, in June after getting certified earlier this year. I started it because I’ve been through my own mental health struggles and mindset transformation, and I want to help women overcome their own internal barriers.

I’m still in the early stages, but seeing my clients transform their lives is so fulfilling - it makes balancing being a full time creator and a coach so worth it.
