Setting the mood...
To make sure you can relax, you need to create a nice peaceful environment. Everyone has their own preferences, but I personally always like to listen to music. My current music obsession is the new Christmas ep by Ariana Grande, yes I know its not Christmas anymore, but trust me - it is incredible! Ariana released a couple of shorter songs for her ep entitled "Christmas and Chill". There are six songs on the Cd, each with a different vibe, some relaxing, some upbeat - all easy to sing along too! My favourite song from the album is "Winter Things", it is such a happy song with a really nice melody.
Another music pick for me is Justin Bieber's new album, Purpose. I think his music has matured quite a lot and he has gained a lot of new fans from his new music. I really like "Love Yourself" as it is a nice mellow song that is easy to sing along with, but be warned, it will get stuck in your head! I also really like "I'll Show You".
I like burning a candle to make my room smell nice and make me feel relaxed. I am currently burning "Cosy by the Fire" by Yankee Candle. It is a winter candle with the scent of spices.
Relaxing your body...
When I am having a pamper night, I like to have a soak in the bath with some of my favourite Lush products. Of course, the hardest decision is whether to choose a bath bomb or bubble bar, or both! My 'go-to' Lush product is the Comforter Bubble Bar, it smells of summer fruits and creates a pink bubbly bath, perfect for a girly night! I have recently received lots of Lush bath products for Christmas so I now have a harder choice! Baths relax your muscles, making you feel tired and content.
Skincare is another important aspect of a pamper routine, you may choose to use a face mask, however I have recently discovered Liz Earle Skincare and I am already seeing the difference! Using the Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser will clean and rejuvenate your skin better than many other brands. It is a high end product making it quite expensive, however, if you are prone to skin breakouts or are just looking for a product that will make your skin feel nicer, then I 100% recommend Liz Earle.
Chilling Out...
Once you have relaxed your body and completed your skin care routine, its time just to chill out and do whatever you want! I like to scroll through instagram and catch up on YouTube. I also love to make a yummy hot chocolate, getting into comfy pyjamas and binge watch my favourite tv show *cough* Dance Moms *cough* ;)
I hope this gave you a couple of ideas of what to do for your own pamper routine.
