Rest & Relaxation

Photobucket

In the midst of a busy life, without any time or extra cash to go to the spa...sometimes a bit of self-indulgent 'me-time' is needed! Before beginning light a candle and pour yourself a big glass of wine! or maybe some cider will do. I generally like to do this routine as a pick me up, or if I have something like a date or outing the next day that I want to feel extra fresh for. I hope you enjoy this post, and find a little bit of time for yourself during this busy holiday season!

ONE: Hop into the shower- shampoo + conditioner your hair, shave and exfoliate your body.

TWO: After getting out of the shower generously apply your favorite hair mask, and wrap your hair up in a towel. 

THREE: While your hair is happily soaking in the treatment, give your face a good cleanse, pat it dry, & apply your favorite face mask. 

FOUR: Let your hair and face sit for a bit, and then hop back into the shower to rinse your hair and face off.

FIVE: Now your hair, face, and body is soft and rid of any dead skin! Apply moisturizer to your face and self-tanner to your body.

SIX: Give yourself a quick mani  + pedi, clean up your eyebrows and your a new person :)

SEVEN: Last snuggle into bed with a good book or movie!

  2. My fave mask is Clinique's Blemish Solutions Oil Control Cleansing mask. I just bought the Clarisonic and snagged a few Origins samples. I think I'll be treating myself to a spa night this evening:)
