Sometimes in life, you have to allow yourself a few little luxuries. Whether it's because you're having a bad day, you need cheering up, or just because you deserve a little treat. We all deserve to be pampered, right?
A fresh bunch of blooms. There's something about having fresh flowers in the house that instantly lifts the mood. They don't have to cost the earth, in fact, I love buying flowers from Lidl. You can get a beautiful bunch for £2, and they always last me the best part of two weeks!
Getting my eyebrows done. I'm aware that having hairs ripped from your face might not seem like a treat, but I love it. I love the twenty minutes sat at Blink, twenty minutes completely for myself. I love the little temple massage I get at the end. And most of all, I love how my brows look for a month or so afterwards.
A new pen. As a writer, I've developed a small obsession with pens. My latest love is this weighty number from Paperchase. It makes writing everything from poems to the shopping list much more enjoyable.
A new magazine. After a long day in the city, I'll often pop into WHSmith at Marylebone, and pick myself up a new magazine to read whilst soaking in the bath when I get home. I love to pick up Allure, Elle Decoration, Frankie and Jamie Oliver's magazine.
Dinner from M&S. Sometimes, you've just got to treat yo'self to a delicious meal. I can totally recommend their Leek and Ham Hock Pie, and their lemon tart. And the White Chocolate Chip Cookies. Basically everything. Get everything.
A long, hot bubble bath. Preferably with candles, a Lush bubble bar and a glass of wine. You deserve it.
