Ever had one of those really long days? Yes, that’s today, full
of assessments, deadlines, a to-do list as long as my arm. So, I’m sat on the
train home after a 12-hour working day dreaming of my pamper night to-come when
I thought - why not write a blog post about it! (Writing a new post was on my
to-do list and this way it makes it a bit more fun.) Not only do you get to
know how I pamper myself but you also get to know my product recommendation for
the job – 2 in 1! I’ve read blog posts where they have set ‘pamper days’… none
of that going on in my life unfortunately. I only get to do them when I can fit
them in/be bothered to do them or when my boyfriend goes out and I finally get
some peace, but then maybe that makes them more enjoyable. I have hyper-linked the majority of my recommendations, they're in black
Dressing gown & silk pj’s
Let’s talk dressing gowns. No one likes a dressing gown that
when you wash it once it goes hard and coarse like an old towel so make sure
you get yourself a half decent one. Next do some gorgeous dressing gowns that I
TOTALLY, recommend. See here. Also, have any of you guys got the satin pj’s
that Primark do? If you don’t, you need them! My mum got me into them, they’re
super cute and not expensive at all!
Candles
Everyone need candles on a pamper night. There’s nothing
better than placing little candles, even tea-lights around the edge of your
bath or on your bedside table. It’s so relaxing after a long day. Primark, once
again are fab for candles. They do so many different scent and so many
different sizes.
Tea
Anyone who knows me well will know I LOVE tea. I have a tea
where ever I go. At the moment, I’m trying to be good so when I can, I’ve been having
herbal teas like lemon & ginger, peppermint, detox and green tea with
lemon. I’m not going to deny I do still have my normal tea (milk, 2 sugars) but
I am trying to cut down my guilty pleasure. Trying…
Bath
Bath or shower? I’m a bath person. I never understand what’s
relaxing about standing up? Literally nothing surely? But you do you, if you prefer
a shower or don’t have one then do what you like. Just make sure it’s your
favourite. Don’t forget your Lush bath bomb or bubble balm. This is a pamper
night and so they’re essentials! Once I finish in the bath, when I’m still wet
I put baby oil all over my body, this prevents against dry skin by locking in
the moister.
Exfoliate/shave/ cellulite scrubber
This step (or steps) is just the best. There’s nothing more satisfying
than feeling like you’re scrubbing off all the rubbish and shaving your legs
revealing super smooth skin. That feeling is just THE best. I started to stress
to my boyfriend’s mum about getting cellulite; I don’t have it but I feel it
will come one day (unnecessary worry I know but still) and she suggested I get
a cellulite massager
. It breaks down the forming cellulite and so prevent it
building up. I’m a massive believer in prevention actions, I use anti-aging
skin care, firming lotions not to tackle problems but to prevent them because research
shows this has the best results.

Shampoo & condition
I literally LOVE washing my hair, I’d do it every day if it
wasn’t bad for my hair. I don’t really care what shampoo or conditioner I use,
bad beauty blogging from me I do admit, however I usually use PRO:VOKE touch of silver colour care shampoo
and conditioner
. It’s not the purple shampoo (that
turned my hair purple but that was when I was having a bleaching disaster) but
it looks after the blonde, keeping it cool and still doesn’t turn it purple.

Hair care
I was never a fan at all of hair products, I always had that
‘my hair will be fine’ attitude. Trust me, it wasn’t. After getting my first
GHDs
at Christmas, I became addicted to them; I genuinely use heat on my hair
every day. I didn’t want to not use then so I thought I better get into
treatments to ensure my hair’s healthy. So, I invested in some leave in conditioner
,
argon oil
, heat protectant spray
and finishing spray
. They literally make your
hair look and feel like you’ve been to the salon. Perfect for pamper night!

Face care
I’ve spoken to you guys before about my skincare routine and
how actually bothering with skin care changed my life. Not only did it sort out
my skin, my confidence literally lifted so much now I’m not ashamed to post
make-up-free selfies or go out the house! I start with taking my make-up off
and washing my face with exfoliator (I usually do this in the bath when I have
a pamper night). I then wipe my cotton pad with micellar water
on it all over
my face to lift the dirt out of my pores. It took me a while to get my head
around spending money on this product. No one likes wasting money, but I
genuinely love this product. I then do a face peel using my caviar infused mask
. After washing this is followed by my caviar infused night cream (day cream if it’s the day time)
. These products are anti-aging as I’ve said before
I’m a massive believe in preventative treatments. I have a collagen serum
that
then smooth all over my face. Collagen is proven to improve elasticity in the
skin preventing wrinkles, sagging and all things that make you look older. This
product was suggested again by my boyfriend’s mum, she’s a beautician and she
literally knows EVERYTHING you need to know about how to look amazing. She’s my

Body care
I’ve recently really got into moisturising, I never used to
do it but it’s so important for the skin especially after shaving. I use Vaseline intensive care cocoa radiant body lotion
and no joke this product just
makes your skin A M A Z I N G. Literally, it smells like heaven and literally
gives your skin a new life it’s a must! On the back of my legs and bum I use the Clarins Body Fit
moisturiser which combats against cellulite and stretch marks.
I’ve genuinely noticed an improvement with the appearance of the back of my
legs, it’s totally worth it!

Nails & Corrie (or whatever you want to watch)
I’m a student, there’s no a chance I can afford to get my
gel nails done every two weeks. It’s just not happening, so I thought why not
invest in a UV lamp but some gel varnishes and DIY. I researched into top home
brands and went with FairyGlo UV LED Gel Polish 
and the Mylee Gel Nails Starter Kit
. I’m genuinely very impressed! To say
I’m not professionally trained it’s staying on at least two weeks, always. To
see my lamp, click here. At the end of my paper night, there’s nothing better
than to sit and do your nails while watching your favourite show. I’m obsessed
with corrie, I just can’t miss it but you choose whatever you fancy! It’s your
pamper night, after all.

Sleep
Sleep works miracles. I’m one of those – Upset? Sleep. Tired?
Sleep. Bored? Sleep. Annoyed? Sleep. It sorts everything and let’s be honest
after a long, hard day/week you really just want to climb into bed and shut
those eyes, so why not!
I hope you enjoy these tips and have a lovely relaxing treat!
After that, you'll have a viewing appointment where you'll get a free A5 print and the chance to buy any others you might like.Kūdikių Lovytės
