Spoiler alert: Life in London is
fast. Week days are spent chasing myself up and down the Northern line as I try
to squeeze in work, gym, blogging and a much needed glass of wine with friends.
I’m not complaining, I
absolutely love it, but by the time the weekend comes, I’m ready to chill out and
catch up on all the things I didn’t have time to visit, see or do during the
working week.
So, when Ben went out for a boy’s
night, I decided it was time for a pamper. There were face masks, body oils and
even some stray toe separators I found at the back of my wardrobe (the glam life lives on), which when you
string together constitutes as it’s very own pamper routine. Here’s the inside
scoop…
In the wardrobe
There’s nothing like kicking off
your skinny jeans at the end of the day and slipping into your pjs. Am I right, or am I right? My favourite at the moment are these ASOS pyjamas. I love them.
In the shower
When I’m feeling fancy, I like
to use Sanctuary Spa 2 Day Long Lasting Moisture Shower Oil. The idea is to smoosh it all
over your body as soon as you get in the shower and then leave it on while you
do your thing. It makes your whole bathroom smell amazing and my skin always feels glorious too.
On my body
I’m hopeless at remembering to
moisturise my skin in the morning and as a consequence, I really suffer with
dry skin on my legs and arms. I decided to treat myself to some amazing
smelling new products, in the hope that they’ll remind me to add in that extra
step in the mornings. You know what? It’s actually working.
I love Sanctuary Spa
Body Lotion in the morning and Sanctuary Spa Long Lasting Moisture Creamy Body Oil in the evening.
On my face
I rarely mix up my skincare routine. I have really sensitive skin, so finding products that aren't going to push it over the edge is really important. I cleanse with Olay Refreshing Facial Cleansing Gel, tone with Kiehl's Ultra Facial Toner and moisturise with Natural Moisturising Factors + HA.
