Motherhood is filled with quiet acts of love that often go unseen: encouragement, support, sacrifice, and unwavering care. Mother’s Day offers the perfect opportunity to recognise that devotion and celebrate it in meaningful ways.

Whether it is a luxurious beauty gift, a wellness ritual, a memorable afternoon tea, or a relaxing spa escape, these carefully chosen ideas add a touch of elegance to the celebration.

Valentine’s Day has evolved. It is no longer just about grand romantic gestures; it is about intention, intimacy, and indulgence, whether that love is shared with a partner, a best friend, or poured back into yourself. Galentine’s has earned its place at the table too, celebrating friendship, self-worth, and moments of joy that deserve to be marked beautifully.

This Valentine’s Day 2026 edit of What Rene Did Next is a curated invitation to slow down and elevate the everyday. Think sensory rituals, thoughtful gifting, and experiences that feel personal, considered, and quietly luxurious. From mood-enhancing beauty and fragrance to meaningful tech, indulgent tipples, and one of London’s most romantic afternoon teas, this is your guide to gifting with heart, elegance, and impact.

Tumbledown Gin

The spirit of the Falklands for those who crave the rare and extraordinary

There are spirits you drink and spirits you experience. Tumbledown Gin belongs to the latter. It is crafted not simply as a beverage, but as a sensory journey. Inspired by the rugged beauty of the Falkland Islands, this gin brings to life a landscape so untouched and elemental that every sip feels like an escape into nature itself.

What sets Tumbledown Gin apart is its provenance. It is the only gin in the world that uses native Falkland Islands botanicals, including wild scurvy grass that grows exclusively in this remote corner of the South Atlantic. The scurvy grass is hand-harvested, making it a rare and precious ingredient that adds a distinctive peppery character. This remarkable botanical gives the gin a flavour profile that cannot be replicated anywhere else.

The tasting experience is exquisite. You begin with classic juniper and a fresh pine note that opens the palate. Citrus elements from orange peel bring brightness, while angelica root adds warmth. The wild scurvy grass lifts the entire profile, bringing a peppery clarity, and the finish lingers with mineral purity that mirrors the crisp South Atlantic winds. It is both wild and refined. Elegant and bold. A gin crafted for those who appreciate rarity.

Tumbledown Gin is micro-distilled in very small batches. Only around 750 bottles are created each quarter. Such scarcity makes every bottle feel like a limited treasure, something that carries the soul of the Falklands within it. Each bottle is presented in a premium cylindrical box that feels luxurious and gift-ready, offering a perfect experience from the moment the recipient opens it.

This is more than a drink. It is an invitation to taste purity, wilderness, craftsmanship, and heart. It is a beautiful gift for someone who appreciates thoughtful luxury, who enjoys artisanal spirits, or who loves discovering something truly unique.

Complete by Dr SCS

Intelligent skincare crafted to transform the complexion from the inside and out

Skincare gifting often walks a fine line between indulgence and functionality, and Complete by Dr SCS occupies the most refined place on that spectrum. Created by the renowned skin health expert Dr Sonal Chavda Sitaram, this brand introduces a world-first dual pathway skincare system that treats the skin internally and externally at the same time. It is a breakthrough in intelligent beauty, designed to deliver lasting luminosity rather than temporary improvements.

The Complete Collection is beautifully structured into three systems: Clarify, Protect, and Radiance. Each system is carefully formulated to support a different skin concern, making it easy to choose a gift that feels personal and thoughtful.

Clarify balances stressed or blemish-prone skin and helps refine clarity. Protect strengthens the skin, softens early signs of ageing, and supports firmness. Radiance is the brightening system that elevates the complexion into its healthiest glow. Radiance is the system I chose, and it has become a favourite within my routine.

Radiance is exceptional because it blends cutting-edge science with gentle nourishment. The topical serum features a stable vitamin C derivative paired with ferulic acid for potent brightening power. Alpha arbutin and liquorice extract work together to reduce uneven pigmentation and support a more uniform tone. Resveratrol protects the skin from oxidative stress, while botanical extracts deliver calm and vitality.

Internally, the supplements support structural integrity with types one and two collagen, along with high-potency vitamin C to enhance collagen formation. A powerful botanical blend that includes elderberry, Korean ginseng, and gotu kola nourishes the skin from within and contributes to a natural, luminous look. Hyaluronic acid offers hydration support that helps the skin appear plumper and smoother.

The results feel deep, fresh, and visible. My skin has experienced greater clarity, a brighter tone, and a healthy glow that feels effortlessly elegant. Complete by Dr SCS makes a beautiful Christmas gift for anyone who takes their skincare seriously and appreciates science-backed solutions that deliver lasting transformation.

The LYMA Laser Pro

A world leader in at-home luxury skin transformation

There are beauty devices that promise visible results, and then there are beauty devices that redefine what is possible. The LYMA Laser Pro sits confidently in the second category. It has become one of the most talked about, sought-after, and respected innovations in luxury beauty.

This is the most powerful at-home laser in the world, trusted by dermatologists, leading facialists, global beauty authorities, and many well-known celebrities. What makes it so remarkable is its ability to deliver clinic-level results from home without discomfort, heat, downtime, or damage. The technology is based on cold near-infrared laser innovation that penetrates deeply into the skin and activates cellular repair at a profound level.

The LYMA Laser Pro is known for its ability to target wrinkles, sagging, uneven tone, pigmentation, scars, texture concerns, redness, pore size, and even post-operative healing. It is three times the power of the original LYMA Laser and covers a much larger area, allowing for faster and more intense transformation.

I have used the original LYMA Laser, and the results were impressive. My skin felt firmer, smoother, and visibly more lifted. The LYMA Laser Pro amplifies those benefits and brings an even more luxurious experience. It is one of the most extraordinary gifts you could give someone who values high-performance beauty and wants a long-term investment in their skin.

It consistently sells out and is celebrated across major beauty circles for good reason. This is a once-in-a-lifetime gift that brings exceptional value and visible change.

Simone Thomas

I am thrilled to get the chance to talk with Simone Thomas and hear direct from an expert on ways to help with wellness, talk about her wellness range and personal tips since my recent condition diagnosis.

Tell me about your journey into wellness? 

It started from a personal place in many aspects of my life you just don’t realise at that time that something exciting and more powerful will come from those situations. From  my work in my own wellness and hair loss clinics and seeing people battling various health and wellness issues which caused skin and hair loss issues and then for me from a young age battling with demons from losing my mum and father, battling personal health issues and then my youngest son nearly dying when he was a few weeks old as well as their father being unwell with a brain tumour and seizure from all of that came a wanting to learn more on health, wellness, fitness and a passion to support my family but also clients and the desire to understand more about the gut and brain connection in how we feel, how our health and the immune system.

To understand our immune system comes from our gut and how what we do day to day has such a positive but also negative effect in our overall bodies and mindset is so fascinating and always brought about a passion in me. This has stepped up even more for me in the past six months as my six-year-old had Covid mildly last year has now gone on to be diagnosed with T1D, so my journey again begins now education on T1D. 

Congratulations on the launch of your book Healthy Hair, Happy Body and product range would love to hear more?

“Healthy Hair Happy Body” is a book on ten years of the best advice I have given to clients, finds and myself as times off unwell health. I found when clients would ask me if there were any good books on the subjects, we talked about there were none and I would spend hours after each day writing personal emails to clients with follow up advice and recommendations it was very time consuming but a lot of the time I saw myself repeating myself which led me to know that most of us are running on empty and a stressed state. So many clients and even staff would call me “the book of knowledge” and had said that I must write a book, so I did. It is not something I had thought about, I love writing and expressing my thoughts on health and wellbeing but being dyslexic always scared me and put me off years ago at the start when I was starting out but through owning my business and winning over 60 awards to date and writing about hair, scalp, wellbeing and health I found a voice and realised I could be a voice people would learn from and want to listen to so from that passion and determination Healthy Hair Happy Body was born. 

When I did research onto the marketplace and what was missing, I found there was not one book which just said it how it was like your best friend talking to you over coffee when you need support. Very few books exist in the marketplace today that provide an easy and fun approach to understanding general wellbeing and how this can affect your gut, skin and hair health. And this black hole in the available literature means people who have been affected by it, tend to suffer in silence or are left to search Google for answers (never the best idea). Within the book there are activities I ask the reader to do and to get the most out of this book, I recommend reading it all the way through from beginning to end rather than skipping around, as each chapter builds upon the information covered in previous ones. Each chapter includes a section called “Bringing it All Together”, designed to create a big picture in relation to your health and more specifically hair loss. Each chapter also includes a “Try This” section which takes the information you have learned and makes it immediately applicable to your everyday life. This section is meant to be used, written in and customised to fit your needs, as you learn more and start figuring out what is best for you.

Writing a book was not an easy journey as so many things happened along the way which caused me to stop but through lockdown was the time to use some free time when I was not having to run clinics and staff to finish what had been started. I am in the process of working on a second book but is very different this will be a book for families but mainly for younger children with advice and support for T1D, recipes suitable for T1D and coping strategies.  

About the Simone Thomas Wellness Range

Simone Thomas Wellness range of supplements came from my own personal approach to regaining my health (from hair loss, endometriosis, B12, IBS and fertility issues). Through nutrition and bioenergetics, I spent years understanding the important role that diet and nutrition plays in the condition of your health, hormones, gut health and how this will impact all that we do and why it impacts our skin and hair. From studying nutrition, I then wanted to know more about the importance of supplementation in our diets as well as gut health and the effects of following a nutrient-rich diet.

In 2017 – 2019 I personally developed Simone Thomas Wellness which then went into trials and tested and from the success of these launched late 2019. Simone Thomas Wellness is a UK company and has locations in the UK and in the process of launching in America. 

Following my recent diagnosis what would you recommend is good to build up my immunity and overall health in this current climate?

Thyroid health is one I have spent several years working with clients but also my children’s father had a Brian tumour which effects his Thyroid and has been for over ten years on medication. I have seen first-hand the effects this can have from hair loss, tiredness, depression, weight loss and gain, issues with sleep and memory. 

Thyroid related hair loss manifests when a person suffers long term hormonal imbalance resulting from abnormal behaviour of the thyroid. Hair loss appears far less common in short term thyroid related conditions. The thyroid produces hormones responsible for a range of important tasks including temperature, metabolic rate, maintenance of bone structures and heart rate. Both an overactive and underactive thyroid can cause hair loss.

Hyperthyroidism, the overactive thyroid condition, occurs when the thyroid produces too many hormones. Hyperthyroidism is up to ten times more likely in men than women and is usually diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40. Hair loss is a symptom of prolonged hyperthyroid issues.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF HYPERTHYROIDISM:

Mood changes, anxiety, restlessness, issues with sleeping
Pain and swelling in the throat (Goitre), muscle weakness, menstruation disturbances (lightness or absence)
Hypothyroidism, the underactive thyroid condition, occurs when the thyroid does not produce enough hormones. Hair loss is a symptom of long-term hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is more common in women than men and is often diagnosed in middle age and later age groups, though it can occur at any age.

Fatigues, tiredness, slow movements, memory problems, depression
Weight gain, constipation, feel the cold
Dry hair and skin, puffy around the eyes
Heavy menstruation

Always consult your GP if you’re experience any of these symptoms.

Thyroid hair loss affects all hair, not just that on the scalp. The hair on the head will thin, but so too might the eyebrows and lashes, and body hair. Hair on the scalp will suffer diffuse thinning, meaning a general thinning all over the head as opposed to sections of hair falling out.

In both cases, the production of hormones T3 and T4 is disrupted. One of the jobs of these hormones is the development of hair at the root. With this process in jeopardy, hair falls out and is not replaced, hence the general thinning appearance of the hair as opposed to losing all the hair from patches across the scalp.
Many more women are affected than men by thyroid issues, and for many, it is a condition that is often undiagnosed. Once diagnosed it is treatable with medication or lifestyle changes.

NUTRIENTS TO INCLUDE:
Try to follow an anti-inflammatory diet where possible
Organic Fruits, particularly berries
Healthy Fats i.e., nuts, avocado, olive oil, flaxseeds, chia seeds
Fermented foods i.e., Kefir, Kombucha, Kimchi. Fermented foods are great for balancing the gut as well as probiotics like Everyday Wellness

VITAMINS & MINERALS TO INCLUDE:
These vitamins & minerals help to support the health of the thyroid gland:
Vitamin C (As found in SkinQuencher)
Vitamin E
B Complex Vitamin (As found in Ginkgo Biloba B+)
Zinc
Selenium
Kelp
Magnesium
Probiotics (Everyday Wellness)
Spirulina (As found in Super Greens)

NUTRIENTS TO AVOID:
Try to avoid processed foods as much as possible
Reduce intake of sugary foods and salt
Limit intake of caffeine
Alcohol

OTHER TIPS:
I recommend partaking in regular exercise multiple times a week, and i you struggle with exercise try to incorporate walks into your routine.
Aim to reduce your stress where possible to reduce cortisol levels in the body. Yoga or Meditation are great ways to reduce stress.

Thanks so much for your time today, can you tell my audience 5 ways that they can improve their wellness?
 
Love and look after your GUT (The gastrointestinal tract – this is where we get 75% of our immune system, All Disease in the body starts in the gut, more neurotransmitters are made in the gut than in the brain)
Eat organic when you can 
Drink plenty of water to keep your body hydrated 
Supplements and protein daily
Regular exercise and 10,000 steps a day does not count as exercise. Steps are general movement, even a 20 HIIT session is enough 
Prioritise sleep, we often find a poor night sleep can really play havoc on our general health, mindset and outlook on life so make sure you’re getting 6-8 hours sleep each night.
