Happy is as happy does. But somedays happy is retail therapy, especially on Mondays in January. Make the very best use of your afternoon and nip out to the shops for one of these guaranteed mood-boosters. This is the team ELLE approved high street edit of happy (lunch) hour buys.
There is NOTHING like a bright smile to lift a mood. Particularly one that is classic red, Kate Moss approved and gets you change from a tenner. This is tried, trusted and loved by the beauty team
Posh marshmallows are the new cupcakes dontcha know. We got an inkling when we were sent a selection of fancy treats from gin to balckcurrent to chilli and mint flavour. All sensational, all affordable, relatively fat-free and so nice to look out before you stuff them in your mouth. What could be happier than that?
Ahhh, light it up and be transported to a hot beach after you've just splashed in the sea or lazed around in the sun and are now sipping a well deserved mojito expertly mixed over crushed ice. But in candle form. Bliss
Healthyish (depending on your flavour of choice), fun to drink and delicious to taste. We can't really explain the experience here, you have to try it, and we know it's not new but we'll say it again; Fun to drink.(ELLE recommends Mocha flavour from Bubbleology. YUM) And in case you haven't cottoned on yet, we particularly love anything to do with bubbles. See?
Miracle by name, miracle by nature; this is one of the few polishes we've found that really delivers a true gel-like finish and lasts equally as long as the real deal. And good nails make us happy.
Half price at Space NK so already a great mood-boosting start. But then consider everything you need to bliss out when you get home. Holiday-scented candle, check. Body and bath soothing soaks, check.
Couldn't be easier or more obvious. What is more fulfilling and joy-boosting than a years worth of ELLE delivered to your door, tablet or desktop for £18? Nothing, thats what. Not even Bubble Tea.
