July 24th: Take Time for You

About

Self-care isn't a luxury, it's a necessity. And on International Self Care Day (July 24th), Westfield Stratford City is the perfect place to put yourself first. Whether you're after a beauty refresh, a wellness boost, or just a well-deserved treat, we've got everything you need to slow down, recharge, and actually enjoy looking after yourself. 

Treat Your Skin 

Give your skin the attention it deserves. Boots and Superdrug have all your skincare and beauty essentials covered, from everyday favourites to new discoveries. Aesop offers plant-based formulas that feel as luxurious as they are effective, while Sephora is packed with cult products and must-have beauty finds. Lush brings fresh, handmade treats that turn your bathroom into a spa, and MAC has the makeup shades that make you feel confident and ready for anything. 

Get Moving 

Looking after your body is one of the best forms of self-care. Whether you're hitting the gym, going for a run, or just want to feel more comfortable in your activewear, Footasylum and Foot Locker have the latest gear to keep you moving. Stock up on pieces from JD Sports and Adidas – because when you look the part, you're more likely to show up for yourself. 

Fuel Yourself 

Self-care includes giving yourself permission to enjoy the good stuff. Westfield Stratford City is packed with cafés, restaurants, bakeries, and dessert spots where you can sit back, relax, and savour every bite. Whether it's brunch with a friend, a solo coffee break, or a sweet treat just because, take the time to indulge. 

Create Your Sanctuary 

Your environment matters. Primark Home has stylish homeware and soft furnishings that'll make your space feel brand new. The White Company offers candles, bedding, and those little luxuries that turn a house into a haven.  

Take a Breath 

Sometimes the best thing you can do is simply stop. Browse the shelves at Foyles and pick up something new to read, grab a notebook or stationery set from Smiggle or Flying Tiger, and settle into a comfy café seat with a hot drink. Give yourself permission to switch off, breathe, and just be for a while.
