Winter is a lovely season, even if it is cold and for England mostly wet. Even though Winter may have snow and warm sun, it can get stressful, just like any season. Running around trying to clean out and do homework at the same time. Everyone needs their own pamper time, there own time to relax. In this post I will be sharing with you what I love to use when having my winter me time. What do you do?
Entertainment, baths & appetisers
Cosying up to the fire with a book/film & a hot drink, is one of my favourite things to do when I am having my own time. Most of the time I watch movies with my parents, so it is nice to watch a film once in a while on my own. The films I picked out were Shall we dance, Dolphin tale, Ella & Mama mia. Everyone needs a snack when watching a film, I pick out either something refreshing or a biscuit, I have been loving the peanut butter oreos, even though they have an unusual taste to them. I drink a large winter hot chocolate special with marshmallows and cream on top and cosy down.
If I don't feel like a film I take a lush inspired bath; bath bombs, bath foam & bath sprinkles. I will take a book or a magazine into the bath with me. I am currently reading Girl Online: on tour. (one of the best books I have ever read ). While the candle is burning beside me I will use my body scrub, I use the boots strawberry body scrub (this came in a gift box, for Christmas), I then use my coconut body butter, (this also came in the box). My favourite drink to have when in the bath is a lemon water.
Beautify & Getting ready
After my bath or the film I will wash my face using my; 3 in 1 Makeup remover wipes, Tea Tree face scrub, Clearasil face wash, Clearasil toner & gentle eye makeup remover by NIVIA. I like to moisturise my face, and body if I have not used body butter, this keeps my skin shiny and smooth. After I wash all the dirty of my face & add my moisturiser, I take a nose and chin strip to clean out my pours. I leave them on for 20 minutes. Meanwhile I do myself a own little manicure and clean my nails. When the base coat (of clear nail polish) is dry I will add my nail polish. I use London girl or SH. Recently I have been using a red or blue polish.
Finally its time to get ready. I will start by washing my hair. I will then towel dry my hair and add TRESemme Protect Heat Defence styling spray. This will give my hair protection from heat and will give it a nice shine. I will then blow dry my hair and then straighten it. My hair is naturally thick and bushy so straightening my hair right after washing it, does help to keep the frizz under control. I will then do a messy bun or leave my hair down.
The very last thing I will do is apply my makeup. For my foundation I will use Rimmel 25 hour Foundation. I don't really use any concealer because my foundation covers up my spots. For my eyes I use my w7 eye shadow palette and maybelline mascara. Most of the time I only apply lip balm or lip gloss, on the other hand, If I feel fancy I will add a lipstick normally a red or nude.
When I am all chilled & made up I will carry on with my day or chill out & write a blog post, Watch a film with my family or play a competitive board game.
I hope you enjoyed today's post, What do you do when you have your own time or what do you think I should do? Have a good day! Watch out for my post on Sunday.
