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?
