Sunday Spaday

After a long busy week at work there nothing more I like doing than having a pamper evening to destress and have a bit of me time. Its good to have pamper evening because they help you relax and unwind and also gear you up for the week ahead. Here are a few of my tips to help you deal with those Monday morning blues.

Set the scene

First thing i would do is set the scene. So, grab your scented candles and turn off the main lights. I find that having gentle lighting creates a relaxing atmosphere for that ultimate 'wind-down' experience. Lay out your cosiest dressing down and grab yourself a drink of water. If you've had a stressful week then feel free to swap the glass of water for a stronger drink of choice.

Bask

When it comes to winding down, I find a long soak in the bath is lot more relaxing than a shower. So the next thing i would do is run my bath. I love indulging in a combination of bath bombs, exfoliating bath salts and bath melts. These leave my limbs feeling soft and relaxed. If you prefer showers then swap your standard shower gel for something with a bit more luxe. I've recently started using lush products and i am absolutely loving them. I can't believe i've only just come across them. I also like to watch stuff on my ipad and have a chill while im in the bath.

Treat

After i've had a bath, i will then do a face mask because whats a pamper evening without a face mask?! A deep cleanse does wonders for the skin, so treat yourself to a facial. I dont really have time in the week to do a proper skincare routine but i find Sunday nights allow plenty of time to enjoy a mini facial. I also find the steam from the bath is good because it cleanses the skin and opens up the pores. 

Chill time

After doing my skincare routine i will spend the duration of my evening burying my head in a book.
For you, it might be catching up on some magazines, doing your nails or bingeing on netflix. Whatever it takes for you to max out and be fully relaxed, do it and enjoy!

Do you have any tips or products  you like using during you pamper evening?

Its the weeeeekend! I've had such an exhausting week, I started my new job on monday and its been very stressful so i'm excited to have a relaxing weekend.

I can't wait to have a lie in tomorrow morning. I am also looking forward to having one of my best friends from uni come down for the day. Its been ages since i last saw her so im excited to have here and have a massive catch up. I also need to catch up on some emails and write up some blog posts.
I have a lot of post ideas but majority of the time i worry about publish post because I often compare my work to other bloggers and i worry too much about what people think. Im hoping this weekend i can shake off those little fears and start producing more posts because i do love writing and having a blog.


How will you be spending your weekend?

Winter warmer wish list

1. Fur hooded duffle coat- New look

2. Felt floppy hat- Topshop

3. Boots- New look

4. Sheep hot water bottle- Not on the highstreet

5. Tartan scarf- Asos

6. beauty and the beast PJ set- Topshop

7. Floral print trousers- River Island

Now that it's getting colder, i'm on the hunt for a new coat to wear to work. I need something that will keep me warm especially on those days where i might be on playground duty. I am hoping topshop has the beauty and the beast pj's in store, because they have sold out online. I mean how adorable is this sheepey hot water bottle?! I absolutely need this in my life. What do you think of my picks?

November

I can't believe it's november already How fast has this year gone?!

This month i am going to...


Start my christmas shopping. I am one of those people who usually starts their christmas shopping around the 20th december (bad, I know). I think its partly because i secretly love the last minute christmas shopping rush. However that hasn't always worked out well because sometimes i can never find what im looking for. So this month i am going to start buying a few things to avoid the stress of finding presents.
Exercise more. When it gets to the winter months, i tend to put exercising on hold and opt for the 'sit on the sofa and binge on netflix' option. This month i am going to join an exercise class. I think its just as important to keep fit throughout the year and not just in the warmer months.
Start budgeting. I really need to stop buying things for the sake of it and learn how to save and spend my money wisely.
Be involved more. Since moving back home last summer i have been going to church with my mum every now and then but haven't really go involved in the social side of church. This month i plan to get more involved in the church especially the social side, join weekly blogger chats and meet up with my friends more often. 




Do you have any November resolutions?
