Everyone is in need of a little me time once in a while- even if they think they don't
need it.
Me time is time you devote to doing something to help you relax or unwind, escaping from the taxing tasks of the week.Some people like to go on walks, others like to exercise, but me personally- I love to relax at home.
So what is my perfect idea of me time?
Well, especially in the winter, I like to have a lovely warm bath with one of my favourite lush bath bombs, or make a new discovery and try one I've never used before.
I love the fact that bath bombs often contain essential oils which can be really uplifting especially if you've had a bit of a grotty week. Recently, I decided to try "Avobath". It's lovely and citrusy, and contains lemongrass, rosewood and bergamot essential oils. It's featured ingredient is avocado, and this combined with olive oil helps to really soften your skin.

I either like to grab a nice book, or just take the time to think and relax.
Face mask's are another great essential in my Beauty me-time regime. I've used the 'Montagne Jeunesse' (hope I've spelled that right!!) face packs before and they're lovely. I prefer the clay based ones, purely because I prefer to wash off a face pack, I don't know, I feel like it just cleanses more easily. I've also tried the 'Mudd' face packs which are also quite nice, but I don't think I've found my fave face pack yet- comment below your recommendations!

Another thing I like to do is apply a hair mask to my hair- I've been using a herbal essences one at the moment, it smells amazing and my hair felt so soft and silky afterwards. Alongside face packs, hair masks only need to be used once a week to have an effect.
I also like to use a scrub- I'd probably use a scrub once or twice a week, its important to exfoliate any dead skin cells you have in order to reveal bright, and very soft skin. I've been using a St Ives scrub recently and it also smells of apricot, just like my hair mask.
Once I'm out the bath, its nice to but on some fluffy socks and pj's and sit on the sofa and watch the telly!
What are your guilty pleasures for me-time? Tell me below!
