Everyone has moments in their lives where we all feel stressed whether it is  from situations that occur during our day to day lifestyles or whether it's from our thoughts and feelings, we all need to take time to de stress and relax. 


Here are a few solutions to help you get started!

Slip into something comfortable - For me, changing into something more comfortable like my pyjamas or onesie always helps me to relax more. Although if a pair of jeans and a hoodie is more comfortable for you then that's fine! 

Have a bath - Run yourself a nice hot bath with plenty of bubbles, even add a bath bomb if you like! Pop some candles on and turn out the lights for a more soothing atmosphere. The soft glow of candlelights is so relaxing. 

Pamper yourself - I love a good pamper session! Whether it's going to a beauty salon, a spa day or just simply doing it yourself! Looking after yourself really helps to make you feel better and it's so nice to treat yourself. If you are pampering yourself here are a few ideas of what you can do: 

Treat your feet - We are always on our feet and we kind of forget about our tootsies so why not give them some tlc. Start by soaking your feet in a bowl/foot spa/ or even the bath! Exfoliate and use a rasp to get rid of any unwanted dry skin then pop some foot cream on and slip on some moisturising socks to lock in the moisture. 

Apply a face mask - Face masks really help to look after your skin and you can find a suitable mask for your skin type and characteristics. 

Exfoliate - Get red of the those dead skin cells for softer skin! 

Paint your nails - Add a bit of colour into your life. I always feel much better when my nails are done. 

Reading - Get rid of your worries by curling up on the sofa with a book. It will give your brain a rest from thinking about work/your thoughts. Also it might help you to sleep at night if you read a bit before you go to bed. Or you could even read some of your favourite blogs! 

Watch something - Have a movie day/night. Get comfy on the sofa or in bed and watch your favourite films or catch up on some of your favourite programmes.

Have a clear out - Ok I know this might be kind of a strange one as you would have thought having a clear out might make the situation more stressful but for me I find that having a tidy out of my wardrobe or sorting through my makeup collection de stresses me and helps to clear my mind knowing that I'm getting rid of unwanted items.

Have a cuppa - Yes, many of our problems can be solved by simply putting the kettle on, make yourself a cup of tea, sit down and enjoy! 

and lastly Turn off your phone and step away from your laptop! 

What are your favourite ways to unwind?

Good evening my lovlies! 

In tonight's post i thought i would share with you all some of my recent nail designs from work that i have done over the past couple of months. 

Let's start shall we? 












 

If you saw my previous post you will know that I went to London for my 21st birthday. I arrived in London on a Friday morning and on day 2 of our trip me and my mum started things off with a trip to Harrods. I love a shopping trip and you cannot go to London and not go into Harrods! I think it must have been the first thing on my list of things to do. I had heard that it was big inside but when you actually experience it yourself then you understand how big it is. It was like a maze trying to find all different sections that I wanted to go to. I didn't realise that it even sold bed frames etc and had restaurants.




Whilst spending a couple of hours in Harrods I treated myself to 2 Christmas baubles a lipstick one and a blusher compact (I love how they had make up related baubles), a MAC lipstick, Chanel bronzer, a handbag, makeup bag, a keyring and then I bought a gift set which included another handbag, a 2016 diary and another makeup bag! We then made our way back to underground to get back to kings cross station where we had to go back to our hotel to drop our bags off and get changed for our evening meal and show at the Novello theatre. We had booked our evening meal at TGI Friday's in Covent Garden. The meal was booked for 4:30 so we had some time before hand to look around Covent Garden itself. Oh just to warn you if you ever go to London and get the underground to Covent Garden please just queue for the lifts!! Otherwise you will make the mistake of having to walk up 193 steps on a spiral staircase and which is (according to google) the equivalent of a 15 storey building! Me and my mum took the stairs as we didn't realise this plus my mum doesn't like lifts and we both nearly had a heart attack!
