Weekend Pamper Routine

As the nights are getting darker it is nice to have spend time at the weekend giving yourself a good old pamper. Especially because around November and December it is a stressful and hectic time with mock exams, deadlines and present buying! Here is what I like to do when I am in need of a pamper to relax.

FACE AND BODY//

Face masks are a great way to feel like to you having a good de-tox and at the moment I am really liking the Superdrug Aloe Vera De-Stressing Face Mask. At £2.59 it is a bargain, but definitely a good one to try. 

Next I like to have a soak in a good bath; I like to have lots of bubbles in my baths and sometimes I like bath bombs or bath milks which smell amazing. In the bath body scrubs are great because ... at the moment I am trying out the Janjira Thai Lime and Ginger Shower Scrub. I am really enjoying this because it is a very buttery scrub that is actually quite soft and very easy to apply. It still has the sugar grains which ex-foliates but the scrub is creamy and gentle. Also the smell is really refreshing and zesty. Often I will use the Soap and Glory Sugar Crush shower wash after this because the two complements each other with their zesty and delicous scents. 

Finally, when I get out of the bath I will remove my face mask and then use some body butter. Usually I opt for the Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter. 

CANDLES AND FAIRY LIGHTS//

Gentle lights like candles and fairy lights are really calming and relaxing, they make any room seem peaceful and there is just something about candles that remind me of Autumn and Winter. I especially love scented candles in the evening. Also I will sometimes put candles around my bath and the dim lighting really makes me unwind. 

BOOKS AND NAILS//

When I was younger I used to read so much ( before I discovered the likes of twitter and blogging!), I would literally go through at least one book a week. However over the past year or so I haven't made time for reading and I know I should. As a result I am making the effort to read my kindle most nights before I go to bed, a couple of chapters or so. This really helps me to unwind and sleep better. I tend to paint my nails in the evenings anyway but especially when I want to pamper myself; I will always paint my nails. 

OTHER PAMPER ESSENTIALS//
A hot beverage is essential every evening for me and at the moment I am loving a hot chocolate, in particular a white hot chocolate. Although I do love hot milk and of course a good cup of tea. There is nothing better than getting into a cosy pair of pyjamas after having a nice bath ready for bed! Primark do great cosy pyjamas; especially around Winter and Christmas.
