Relax Evening Essentials


Every once in a while, I enjoy simply putting everything to the side and having a nice relaxing evening. Although I am guilty of always putting things off and saying Ill do it later quite frequently, on little occasions I wont worry about it and forgive myself.

During winter, these little pampering sessions are a perfect way to spend my nights. Dont get me wrong, I love the odd few in summer. But when its all wet and cold outside, slipping into a warm bath and reading a good book or snuggling up to watch netflix with your favourite blanket and a cup of tea is amazing and comforting.

So today, seeing as I enjoyed one last night, I thought Id share with you what I do and what products I use on these evenings.

First of all, I usually run a bath. This may be a little strange but personally, Im not really a fan of a lot of bath products. I occasionally put a sprinkle of bath salts or some bubbles but apart from that my baths dont usually look very interesting. 

Avon clearskin pore penetrating mineral face mask and Boots Botanics iconic clay mask

Whilst the bath is running, Ill wash my face and put on a face mask. These two are my favourites - the Botanics Ionic Clay Mask and Avons Clearskin Pore Penetrating Mineral Mask

Tescos brown sugar and coconut oil - to make a homemade scrub

Ill then use a home made body scrub which consists of brown sugar and coconut oil. Simply melt 1tbsp of oil in the microwave and then mix in 2-3 tbsp of sugar.

Soap&glory products - heel genius foot cream and butter yourself body cream

Once I get out of the bath, Ill go a head and finish my skincare routine and then apply Soap & Glorys Heel Genuis and Soap & Glorys Butter Yourself.

Lit tea light candles

Of course it wouldnt be a relaxing evening without putting on some cosy socks and lighting some candles. 

Nail varnishes in a row. Maybelline colour show in the colours 107 watery waste and 77 nebline. Rimmel Londons lycra pro in 297 beige babe. Barry M in 304 mint green. Barry M chameleon range in 331 chameleon blue

Next, I usually paint my nails with one of my favourite colours : Maybellines Colorshow in 107 watery waste or 77 nebline (which I dont think they do any more), Rimmel Londons Lycra Pro in 397 beige babe, Barry M in 304 mint green or Barry Ms Chameleon in 331 chameleon blue.

Netflix - search page. Showing pretty little liars, 90210, vampire diaries, breaking bad, sons of anarchy, dexter, the goodwife, walking on sunshine, vampire academy, lol, clueless, just go with it, a haunted house 2, white chicks

Then Ill spend the rest of the night either reading my current book or watching netflix.
