Low-effort wellness foundations we’re leaning on right now
The start of a new year often brings us a quiet urge to reset. Not in a dramatic, overhaul-everything way but in a more considered sense. A desire for routines that support us, habits that feel manageable, and tools that work quietly in the background.
At Bright Souls, we do believe in routines. We do believe in optimisation. But increasingly, we’re interested in low-effort ways to feel better – the kind of foundations that support your wellbeing without asking for more time, more discipline, or more energy than you have to give.
This winter, these are the essentials we’re personally relying on.
Start with clean water
Phoenix Gravity Water Filter
Clean water is one of those fundamentals that underpins everything else. Hydration, energy, digestion, even focus – it all starts here.
Gravity water filters have long been a non-negotiable for us, which is why we were so happy to have them as the water sponsor at our New Energies event. (If you were there, you’ll remember the refill station – we’ll be sharing an image from that moment here.)
There’s something reassuring about a system that works without fuss. No installation, no noise, no ongoing effort. Just clean, filtered water as part of everyday life.
If you’re building from the ground up, this is where we’d start.

Wellness that works while you get on with life
Celler8 PEMF Mat
This is one of those tools that fits seamlessly into real routines – which is why it’s stayed with us.
I can sit on it, lie on it, work on it – and know that good things are happening without needing to carve out extra time. PEMF therapy supports circulation, recovery and cellular energy, but what makes it truly powerful is how effortless it feels to use.
It’s wellness that doesn’t interrupt your day – it supports it quietly in the background.

Winter support that’s designed to absorb
Codeage Liposomal Vitamin D3
Winter is when vitamin D really earns its place – particularly for mood, immunity and energy. Liposomal forms are designed for better absorption, which is why this has become our go-to.
It’s not dramatic or instant, but over time it becomes one of those steady supports you’re glad you didn’t skip – especially through darker months when light exposure drops.
Low effort, high consistency.

The ritual of a drink – reimagined
Three Spirit Nightcap
We love ritual. And for many people, the evening drink is less about alcohol and more about the pause, the signal that the day is winding down.
Three Spirit Nightcap keeps that ritual intact – the glass, the moment, the sense of luxury – but replaces alcohol with adaptogenic, feel-good ingredients that actually support rest.
It’s become one of our favourite ways to transition into the evening: indulgent, calming and genuinely supportive.

Subtle support for stressful seasons
East Healing Ear Seeds
This season has felt particularly full, and these have been a quiet but noticeable help.
Ear seeds work with acupressure points to gently support the nervous system. Once they’re in place, there’s nothing to manage – they simply do their work over time.
I’m wearing some as I write this. They’re discreet, grounding, and surprisingly effective when stress feels like it’s sitting just below the surface.

Why these made the cut
What links all of these isn’t trendiness – it’s ease.
Each one:
- fits into existing routines
- requires minimal effort
- supports the nervous system in some way
- helps you feel better without demanding more from you
That’s the kind of wellness we believe in — thoughtful, supportive, and sustainable.

A quieter way to navigate wellness
We’ve gathered these – alongside a small number of other essentials – into the Bright Edit. Not as a loud launch or endless catalogue, but as a calm reference point. A place to start if you’re feeling overwhelmed by choice.
We’ll continue to add to it slowly, thoughtfully, and only when something truly earns its place.
For now, this is about supporting winter gently – with foundations that work quietly in the background.
