Hey, I'm here with another pamper themed post! Today's post is going to be my pamper routine. I will be showing you what products I use to pamper and what I do to pamper my self every now and again.
I try to pamper my self at least once a month before a big day or a busy day. Sometimes , if I have nothing on that month I will pamper my self if I am stressed or down.
I think it is really important to treat yourself as it will help put you in a better mood and help you to connect with your self.
Anyway let's get onto the routine!
First things first is that I like to begin by running a bath. I feel that a bath is a must have for an at home pamper session as it will help you wind down as well as making you feel fresh and clean.I like to add a bath bomb to my bath when pampering so today I used a coconut scented bath bomb which helped make my skin feel super moisturised. When pampering I like to make a nice cold drink for when I am in the bath as it is super important to feel hydrated. In the bath I like to start by washing my hair with shampoo and conditioner, I leave the conditioner on for about 5-10 minutes while I catch up on YouTube videos. I then will exfoliate with my Body Shop body scrub and then I will clean and shave.
When I get out of the bath and I am dried I change into some pyjamas. I think fluffy socks are so cute and comfy so they're a must have for me! I then moisturise with my dove moisturising cream which I showed in my previous post. The next step I HATE doing but...I know its important and I will regret in the morning if I don't do it. That step is drying my hair. This step to me is such a chore as my super thick hair takes AGES to dry but if I don't dry it my hair will be super frizzy and horrible the next day. Luckily I found some amazing coconut hair oil in Bodycare and it helps make my hair feel and look smooth and healthy as well as making my hair dry faster.
Now I think it's the perfect time to watch whatever TV show am watching at the moment, in this case it was The Originals. While I watch my show I like to paint my nails as I hardly ever have the time to do this so I like to take this time to do this. Plus of your anything like me I am super impatient when it comes to waiting for my nails dry and end up smudging them and ruining them watching a show really helps me to stop messing with my nails and ruining them. The colour I used was 'Iced Frappe' by Ciate. I also take this time to apply a face mask as again I hardly do this unless I do this while pampering.
I also have my candles lit while I do all this pampering as it helps set a relaxed mood and plus they smell amazing!
Finally I finish off with a book or music. I recently got the Pointless Book 3 as they are really fun as well as being a fan of Alfie Deyes. I feel like finishing with a book is really great as it gets you away from technology and puts you n the perfect position to go straight to sleep if you planned on ding so.
That's all for today's post guys. I hope you found this helpful and can add any of these steps to our own routine. If I have missed any steps that you guys do leave them in the comments so I can add them to my routine. If you enjoyed this post don't forget t check out my other posts and follow this blog.
