I firmly believe that every girl deserves a bit of pamper time on a regular basis, but I'm rubbish at following my own rules. I've been trying my hardest to make a little more time for me recently, and I've assembled a crack team to get me feeling totally blissed out.
The first order of business is to run a big ol' bubble bath. I love having baths back at my parents house, because the bath is HUGE and it's one of very few baths where I don't have to pick whether I want my shoulders or legs submerged. I like a lot of bubbles, so I normally use a splash of the Arran Aromatics Lavender and Tea Tree Bath Gel, and also run my Lush Divination Bubble Bath. The lavender mixes with the Patchouli and Amber to create a beautiful, warm, woody fragrance that fills the room.
Of course, to set the mood before climbing in, you'll need a candle. I normally burn my Diptyque Pomander Candle with this bubble bar mixture, since the scents really compliment each other, but this time I went for the Arran Aromatics Just Grapefruit Candle, to add a little freshness to the room.
Now the whole point of a good bath is to spend a long time doing nothing, or if you're like me and you can't do just nothing, reading is normally the answer. I normally go for magazines, but I've been meaning to read The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up for ages, so on this occasion that's what I went for!
When I've soaked and snoozed for long enough, I get into the pamper products. I'm obsessed with body scrubs right now, particularly this Seaweed and Mineral Salt Scrub from Arran Aromatics. It's thick and gritty, but not too harsh, smells amazing, and leaves my skin silky smooth. Plus, I love anything presented in Kilner Jars.
A new addition to my pamper routine is The Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Body Clay Purifying Mask. Definitely messy and a little weird to get used to, but my skin looks and feels so much smoother since giving this a whirl!
For the authentic bath time experience, a white waffle bath robe is a must for snuggling up in post-bubbles. I love this one because it's not too long, or too thick, so you can still wear it in the summer months without boiling, and for a bargain £6 in Primark, you can treat yo'self without feeling guilty!
And lastly, no pamper experience is complete without a post-bath moisturising sesh. I'm terrible at moisturising my body, but The Body Shop Japanese Camellia Cream is giving me the motivation to make it a regular occurance. This stuff is so thick and luxurious, but it absorbs really quickly, and doesn't leave you feeling sticky. Win!
