A Home Spa Day | Saturday is for Me-Time

 It's weekend (hip,hip,hooray!)! And that means quality relaxing time to get some new energy for the upcoming week. Today I thought to show you a little "Me-time" Routine of mine, because some time for yourself is really important to relax after another week of learning for school (all day all night). I hope to inspire some of you and let me know what hasn't to be missed for you at a relaxing day.

So first of all I start with having a nice bath (you know my obsession with bath bombs, especially from Lush) and after that I would usually moisturise my skin with a body lotion (for example the Pure Seduction one from Victorias Secret, shown in my Tuesday Favourites).

And if I still have Makeup on, I will clean my face with a micelle water and then applying a face mask
(this one is from Lush called "Catastrophe Cosmetics" made with blueberries and it smells amazing and leaves your skin smooth and hydrated), leaving it on the face for 5 to 10 minutes and then washing it off. After it I will apply a toner called Breath Fresh Air from guess it, Lush obviously and will spray a bit of it onto my face. This is also a summer musthave for me because it refreshs you within seconds and is also good for setting the makeup. Because I used it soo much in the summer it reminds me of the sea and holidays (besides can't wait for summer and the holidays). Tapping it a bit in -and you are ready to go.

 Also a new addition (and an absolute bargain because I got it in the sales) is my Rituals candle. This is in the scent "Eucalyptus and Rosemary" and smells like the Hammam Delight range. It's a really calming scent (just smell it in the stores, because I also found that the combination sounds a bit strange but it's such a nice scent.


So after having my skin hydrated, I would light up this candle from Rituals, lay down on my Yantra Mat (which is really interesting because you lay down on over three thousand acupuncture tips, but it doesn't hurt don't worry and I got it because I have sometimes really bad back pain and this mat can help getting loose of them) and then enjoy reading a book.

Currently I am reading the first book of the Divergent series, which is soo thrilling (I saw Insurgent this week, and it was soo gripping and very dramatic but very good) and read it for a while.

 Sometimes I paint my nails afterwards in a nice nude and not so eyecatching colour like Essie "Sand Tropez" (all-time favourite) or "Spin the bottle" because I  use to paint my nails at the weekend because under the week I don't have so much time for it (basically for nothing because of school stress).

And then to get away from the nail polish scent I would use a soap (okay we can't count it as an point on my routine list, but I have to show you this soap), this one is called "Soap of Sultana" from Lush (felt as 100th product from Lush in this post, but I really like that it's handmade and with natural ingredients), which hydrates my dry hands perfectly, because it's so creamy. Sometimes I would use a hand cream for the extra potion of moisture.

 And something I also like to do when I have time is to get some new fashion, beauty and lifestyle inspiration online. So I would enjoy a tea and scroll a bit through my favourite online shops(for example Zara featuring Bloggingqueen Medine, Topshop,Zalando,Brandy and Melville..) and see what's new.
The rest of a day will contain a lot of listening to music, watching some series (like Gossip Girl and PLL) and drinking some tea.

So I hope to inspired some of you and wish you all a relaxing weekend. Stay tuned for the end of next week, maybe you will get a new #travellinto.. post so be prepared for a lot of photos.
Bye Bye,
