Launched in 2016 by siblings Anna and William Brightman, UpCircle are the pioneers of the circular skincare trend. All UpCircle products are natural, organic, vegan, cruelty-free, palm oil-free, sustainable, handmade in the UK and housed in 100% recyclable packaging. But their key point of difference from other beauty brands is that each of their products is made with a core repurposed ingredient. “Natural” is the new “normal” – UpCircle go a step further with their waste-fighting formulations.

Nature gives us lots of wonderful ingredients that make our skin healthier and more radiant – like used coffee grounds, chai spices and fruit stones. But they often end up going to landfill. Why should all that good stuff go to waste? It shouldn’t. That’s why UpCircle elevate leftover natural ingredients, bringing them back to life as beauty products your skin will love.

UpCircle have taken the beauty world by storm. Since their rebrand less than a year ago the sibling duo have launched their by-product beauty range with Boots, Sainsbury’s, Holland & Barrett, Ocado, Urban Outfitters, Beauty Bay, Whole Foods, As Nature Intended, House of Fraser, Feel Unique, Farmdrop, Revital and many more! They have just released a brand new range made from discarded fruit stones.

Dr. Tim Zijlstra is an accidental Librarian, with extensive experience in public, school and academic libraries, and an accidental Academic. He is also a proud Ally and Role Model for the Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Wellbeing group.

Accidental librarian because he failed his first two attempts at obtaining a degree and was ‘offered out of pity’ a place at the Library Academy in Groningen, the Netherlands where he finally qualified in 2004.

I speak to Tara Lee Oakley; Professional Dancer, Dance/Fitness Instructor and advocate of all things Wellbeing.

Tara's career in the dance/ fitness industry has spanned 19 years, way before the age of social media. I love her perspective on the power of taking time to learn and hone a skill in an age where this has been replaced with chasing quick fixes.

Having performed internationally and in London’s best know clubs and restaurants, Tara shares her thoughts on society’s fears around female sexuality and sensuality.

We also talk about the deep connection between dance and spirituality as practised in Sufism, founded by the great philosopher and poet Rumi.

From a career in Corporate to becoming a Coach, 42 Year old Elaine transformed her own life and is now on a mission to help people transform theirs.

With a challenging upbringing that almost lead her to a darker path, Elaine spent many years trying to better herself through her career but didn’t realise she was trying to fill the void of her inner self. The one that felt unworthy and unloved. It took her getting to burnout stage 18 years into her corporate career for her to do a complete 360- heading back to teaching classes, a new found love for teaching yoga and mindfulness and now transformational life coaching, taking her back to her ‘why’ that she had when she embarked on her career path 20 years ago ‘to help people be the best version of themselves’
