Bath Time!

I love having baths. I have a bath every night normally during term time. I feel like I need this time every night to calm down, and I find it helps me sleep better. However, I need to try to incorporate exfoliating and moisturising into my routine more regularly, as sometimes I 'can't be bothered'. Well. From now on I will be much more bothered.

I have lots of products I love to use, but I just forget. Or I get side tracked. But I love using Soap and Glory products, and stuff from The Sanctuary, as well as Lush and Body Shop products. I also am going to start using my Garnier Body summer body moisturing lotion 'sun-kissed look' to prevent my tan from fading. I also use Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks, because I have some faint marks on the inside of my thighs. I am also going to start to use a serum on my legs called 'inhabitif' that claims to reduce hair growth until it is virtually invisible. Worth a shot. You have to apply is twice a day for two months, which means I have to actually do it. Okay. I also purchased some VO5 Hot Oil, which are meant to give your hair moisture, which it desperately needs as its quite dry. I will review all of these products and let you know what I think!

I struggle to relax and sleep, and I often get really het up and Alex will sometimes say to me 'go have a bath. Relax.' because a bath truly does relax me, something about the smells of the soaps I use, I always use lavender bubble bath (If I have it in the cupboard) and just reading a book or listening to music and not thinking about anything calms me down and helps me to just forget about whatever it was that was making me so stressed in the first place.

This blog post is quite short, but I just wanted to keep to my promise and blog every day.

 

Before I get into the bath, I make sure I have everything I will need in the bathroom, like a hair tie, my kindle, my iPod, pyjamas etc. My kindle is in a waterproof case that my mum got me for when we went on holiday. We got them from Lakeland, and it means I can read my Kindle in the bath safely, because I'm pretty clumsy.

 

These are the VO5 Hot Oils, they are little tubes, that you heat up in hot water then apply to your hair.

 

 

This is where I store all of my 'most used' products. I go through and swap items for things in my cupboard every so often. It always has my tooth brushes, toothpastes, make up wipes, remover pads, cleanser, toner and moisturiser, and my every day make up and brushes. Everything else, like more elaborate make up, or hair products, or other moisturisers are kept in the cupboards under the sink unit.

 

 

This is what the majority of my baths look like. Bubbly, with candles around the edge. My mum doesn't trust me with real candles (rightly so. I would burn myself//the house down) so she got me some little electric ones that you turn on underneath. They give the overall feeling of being surrounded by candles anyway.

 



I feel like this post has been really random, but I didn't know what else to do today as nothing interesting has gone on, so I took some photos last night, and put this together today! I hope you enjoyed it.
