My mini 'pamper' evening after a stressful day

I love a good bath and a nice bit of relaxation, however after a long day at work with things to be done I don't always get the time to really and truly pamper myself. However there are a few things I do and product I use to help myself wind down.


Firsts things first, I remove my makeup (obviously) using the simple cleansing wipes. It literally takes all of a minute and is so gentle to my skin and eyes.

 I decided to wash my hair today as well, so I quickly jumped into the shower and shampooed, toned, conditioned my hair before jumping out a putting a hair mask through the ends of my hair. I chose the Schwarzkopf deep nutrition intensive care mask with shea and cashmere. I'm yet to determine my feelings towards this product, but I'll do a review once I decide.


Leaving the mask in my hair, I applied the Lush cupcake face mask and started running myself a relaxing bubble bath
 

In my bath I used the Lush drummer drumming reusable bubble bar and a few strawberry and cream scented marshmallow bath fizzers to add to the sweet aroma.



Now I know this is a shower gel, but I have been absolutely loving the Lush honey I washed the kids shower gel at the moment, pairing this with the honey I washed the kids soap to shave my legs.
After I wash my hair out and wash my face mask off, I usually relax for a few minutes before jumping out and doing my skin care routine.

Following this I used a cooling moisturiser on my face, scrubbed my lips with the Lush Bubblegum lip scrub, tied my hair in a bun and WALAH! Fresh, clean and totally relaxed!

What do you do when you're in need of some quick relaxation?
Until next time...

7 reasons to consider a week without Makeup

Image
To many of us, make up is just another part of every day life. We make time in our days to apply and remove it, plan ahead as to what look we want to achieve, match it to our outfits and spend more money on it then we probably should. It has the ability to make us feel comfortable and confident, to look the way we want to look, to express our creativity and ability. That being said, not wearing make up has it's perks too. Here's 7 reasons why you should consider a week without makeup. 1. More sleep It's obvious that you'd get at least another half an hour sleep in in the morning, but imagine you've had a long day, you're tired and you have new episodes of orange is the new black to watch. You accidentally fall asleep on the couch without taking your makeup off. But that's not a problem, because today you didn't wear makeup which means you can drag your half asleep butt to bed without a worry. 2. Goodbye morning breakouts Okay, so you may still get these,...
