There’s something undeniably uplifting about this time of year, longer days, a little more light, and the perfect excuse to bring more colour, beauty, and joy into our everyday lives.

Long before bouquets became a romantic gesture, women were already gathering flowers for themselves, for the scent, the beauty, the pleasure of it. It wasn’t about occasion or display, but about surrounding yourself with something lovely, just because. That spirit is worth holding onto.

Whether it’s treating yourself to fresh flowers, booking a glow-boosting treatment, or adding something vibrant to your home that simply makes you smile, this is the moment to indulge in the little things that feel good.

From colourful home accessories to confidence-boosting beauty services, here’s our guide to stepping into the season feeling refreshed, energised, and beautifully you.

Flowers that Fill the Room, and the Soul

Spring is about the senses, and nothing captures that more immediately than fresh flowers. At Almost Essential, we work with the incredibly talented Samantha, whose arrangements are anything but standard. She crafts floral designs that are wild, soft, fragrant, and full of seasonal character.

This season, expect ranunculus, hyacinths, and anemones to take centre stage, mixed with flowering branches or herbs like rosemary and mint for extra sensory pleasure. Samantha also tailors arrangements to suit your space, your preferences, or the mood you want to create.

Want to take it a step further? We can also recommend luxury vases to complement the arrangements, sculptural pieces that double as home decor.

Bring the Colour Home

Brightening your environment can have a direct effect on your mood. This is the time to swap out neutral tones and winter weight for joyful, bold accents. Our selection includes:

Casa’s fluorescent jars, which instantly modernise a side table or mantelpiece

Statement trays in playful hues, perfect for everything from serving drinks to corralling your favourite candles and trinkets

Candleholders that offer a little flash of fun or whimsy

Unique decorative pieces from the Joanna Wood collection, offering a beautifully curated mix of timeless style and personality, perfect for elevating your space with a touch of charm

And if you’re ready for a more substantial refresh…

We highly recommend working with Nicky, our expert curtain maker and upholsterer. She has a unique eye for colour, texture, and detail, ideal if you’re looking to breathe new life into a space without starting from scratch. Whether it’s updating a pair of curtains, re-covering a much-loved chair, or creating something completely bespoke, Nicky’s work brings a refined, tailored touch to your home that’s completely personal.

Treatments That Go Beyond the Surface

Spring is a wonderful time to reawaken your skin and body after the dullness of winter.

Cellulite massage is one of our most requested services right now. It’s not just a cosmetic fix, it boosts circulation, improves lymphatic drainage, and can help reduce bloating and puffiness. Our vetted professional offer this as an in-home service, making it easy to fit into your week.

Lymphatic drainage massages are also in demand, particularly for post-travel recovery or general detoxification. You’ll feel lighter, more energised, and less sluggish after just one session.

If you’re after something more targeted, consider reflexology, which is available as an in-home treatment. It’s a deeply relaxing therapy that stimulates pressure points on the feet to support overall wellbeing, reduce stress, and rebalance energy. Ideal if you’re feeling run down, low on energy, or simply in need of a moment of calm..

And for longer-lasting beauty

Semi-permanent makeup is ideal for the warmer months, when you want to look polished with minimal effort. Whether it’s perfectly shaped brows, lip tinting, or subtle eyeliner, our handpicked artists deliver natural-looking results that enhance, not mask.

Eat, and Feel, Well from the Inside Out

It’s no secret that how we feel internally often shows up on our skin, energy, and even our mood. Spring is the perfect time to reset gently.

Bone broth is one of our favourite under-the-radar health heroes. Rich in collagen, it supports skin elasticity and gut health while also promoting better sleep. We recommend a trusted brand that delivers flavourful, high-quality broths made with ethically sourced ingredients, available fresh or frozen.

Emotional Wellness and Inner Confidence

Sometimes the best upgrade you can give yourself is space to reflect and grow. Our network includes:
Terence, a transformative coach known for helping high-achieving women reset their mindset, reconnect with purpose, and find clarity in the chaos. Whether you’re navigating a change or just want to deepen your confidence, his sessions are powerful and personal.

Relationship coaching, because the relationship you have with others starts with the one you have with yourself. Whether you’re single, partnered, or somewhere in between, we have specialists who help with communication, self-worth, and navigating the emotional complexity of modern life.

For those wanting a more holistic reset, we recommend Geeta Sidhu-Robb, whose health coaching sessions address the connection between your physical wellbeing and emotional resilience.
