So, before I get this post started, I would just like to say that me and my blog have an odd relationship. Sometimes I will write posts all week and other times, well, we won't see each other for a month and a half (whoops!). I think we have all realized this by now, but now its out in the open and I apologize!
Anyways, in the past year or so I have found myself becoming quite the expert on staying in and having a relaxing weekend of refreshing and rejuvenating. After working a 9 - 5 job all week long, sometimes all you want to do is be left alone on your weekend and just relax and prepare for the stressful week ahead. So grab your bubble bath and your face masks, we're dissecting the perfect night in!
There are a few key things to make a perfect night in, or pampering night. The perfect place to start is with a face mask. I love face masks so much! Whether I need it to make my skin clear and glowing for an important event, or if I just need one to heal my skin from a long week, a face mask can always do the trick! My favorite mask at the moment is the GLAMGLOW SUPER-MUD Clarifying Treatment . And there is no better time for a face mask to work its magic than in a warm bubble bath! Not only will a bubble bath relax you, but the steam from the water will also help the mask help your skin even more! Now, in my opinion, the best bubbles for a bubble bath are from Lush. My favorite one at the time is their Rose Jam bubble bar. It is super moisturizing and smells of roses. The way to make your soothing bath even better is to light your favorite candles. Currently, I have the Rio Glow Bath and Body Works candle as my bath time scent. A lot of times while I'm in the bath, I like to unwind from the week by either watching YouTube videos, or reading magazines (Seventeen and Cosmo are my favorites to read in the bath!). To me, this is the most relaxing place!
After your bath is through, it is time to wash off the mask, moisturize, get into your most comfy onesie (optional) and pick your favorite nail polish. Having freshly painted nails can always brighten my mood and make me feel much better about myself. Even if I am having a bad skin or hair day, if my nails are done nicely I feel good. Now since it is pamper and relaxing night, we're not just going to paint our nails with 2 coats of polish and call it a night. I'm talking a full manicure. Filing, moisturizing, base coat, 2 coats of color, and a top coat! The color that I am wearing now is Butter London in the shade Blagger. It is a gorgeous royal blue. Not too dark, not too bright. Once your nails are done and dry, its tea time!
I tend to have a tea obsession. I buy so many different kinds of tea that I have quite a nice collection at the moment. My favorite one to drink right now is Celestial Seasonings: Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride. It's part of their holiday herbal tea collection, but luckily I still have some. It actually taste like a sugar cookie! So after making your yummy tea, its time to get into bed and read a book or watch your favorite movie! Whether it be your favorite rom com, a drama, or Mean Girls, (cause let's be real here, nothing will ever top Mean Girls) there's no better way to end your relaxation night.
Now that you're relaxed, clean, and full of your favorite tea, its time for lights out!
I hope you enjoyed my Girls Guide to a perfect night in and that you have an awesome week! I think I am going to start a Motivational Mondays series on here. It will either start this Monday or next week! Keep your eyes peeled for that and have a fantastic night!
Xx
