You
know those mornings where you wake up to the sound of rain and instantly know
you’re not going to get anything achieved that day? Well today is one of those
days so I’m going to show what essentials are vital on a rainy day. Hopefully
after this you will be inspired to treat yo’ self.
1.
Well
first things first (I’m the realest)( I apologize for this overused Iggy Azalea
reference but I had to) after waking up I like to go make myself a hot drink
like a hot chocolate, coffee or an earl grey tea. After the drink is made I
usually either watch an episode of a series I’m watching, which lately has been
Made in Chelsea, or I watch youtube
videos of my favourite youtubers (I’m adoring Hannah Maggs videos.. they’re amazingly
edited).
2 After
I then like to have a shower to feel all fresh and clean. This type of shower
is the whole shebang. It includes washing my hair, putting a treatment in my
hair and shaving my legs.
For
my hair I usually use this L'oreal one. I've been using this for ages and I love it.
And for the treatment I
use a Kerastase one. This treatment is amazing. It smells divine and makes my
hair feel lovely. Usually after I apply this treatment to my hair I then go on
to shave my legs so the treatment has time to bond with my hair. Would highly
recommend this product!
3 Once
I’m out of the shower I first grab a hair brush and brush my wet hair. Then I
add a Kerastase oil onto my hands and apply it to my hair. This oil smells great and
always makes my hair 10x silkier after applying it.
Next it’s time to wash my
face. I use the Kiels ultra facial cleanser and I love this because the texture feels
like honey but once water is added it foams up and makes my face feel all nice and clean.
Next
I apply a moisturizer (it varies between Clinique and Sukin).
After
moisturizer is applied I like to grab a spray (I use the Avenue thermal spring water one) to bring around with me to keep
refreshing my face.
This
is now time where I do whatever I like so it includes either reading, watching
a movie or baking. While I do
these I like to light a scented candle because nothing is an relaxing as having
a scented candle burning. My all time favourite
are Woodwick candles as they crackle like a fireplace while they burn. Today I
have lit this bad boy.
5 Once
afternoon has hit I am craving a bath because nothing is more luxurious than a
bath on a rainy day. As I go ALL OUT on days like these I also like to put in a
bath bomb. The one I’ll use today is by Lush and it is called ‘Sex Bomb’. It smells incredible (like Jasmine) and it
makes the bath go a pretty pink colour. The thing I like about lush bath bombs
are that they make the bath smell amazing so when you hop out you smell
amazing.
6 After
a bath the rest of the day is up for me to decide. It usually is either reading
or watching movies. There is also this bookstore 30 minutes away and I love going there because it smells of coffee and you can sit down on the couches while reading books with your coffee.
So there you go! Would love to know what other people do/use on their pamper days. Perhaps I could get some inspiration! One thing I know for sure that we all do is the typical messy bun on top of our heads on a lazy day like this.
