Working full time as well as juggling a blog, YouTube channel, social life and a relationship definitely takes its toll on me and so it's so important for me to fit in those pamper nights.
After a seriously hard couple of months (feeling emotionally and psychically strained) I'm starting to try and make more 'me-time' where I relax and pamper myself. Here are the following things that are normally involved in my pamper night routine!

First step HAS to be a bath, without a doubt. I can light some candles (currently adoring Aromatherapy Associate Inner Strength Candle which is great for helping to de-stress) add a couple of drops of essential oils into the bath and relax as I pamper and preen myself! I like to start off with a hair mask & face mask whilst I buff my body with my Braun Silk Spa 7 which is an epilator and exfoliation system in one. Giving your body a good scrub before epilating ensures dead skin cells are removed and also prevents ingrown hairs. It can be used wet and dry all over the body which makes easy and convenient to use!
Next step is to epilate my legs and under arms. I've mentioned before this is quite painful but the results are outstanding - anything which means I don't have to shave my legs daily is incredible in my books. Love this epilator in particular as it removes tiny hairs, has a light for precise use and has a pivoting head which makes it little less painful.

Now once my body is soft, clean and stubble free, I wash my hair properly and cleanse my face with the Braun Face. You can read about this in full in this post here but it’s perfect for thoroughly removing every bit of makeup and oil from the face.
Once out of the bath, I obviously dry my hair and usually put into a plait to style overnight (makes it incredibly wavy in the morning and absolutely effortlessly stylish).
Now ready for the final step! I’m currently obsessed with Peppermint tea; I have one every night before bed as it helps settle my stomach and relax me (I have a really bad phobia of being ill so this helps silly amounts). I then like to paint my nails (currently ADORE Max Factor’s polish in Ruby Fruit see above) and then finish by reading a book. I’m currently reading ‘Dark Echo’ by F.G Cottam (review coming soon).
So that’s it! Hope you enjoyed this post. Remember you can watch Jessica Alba & Braun's Break Free campaign & join in the movement here!
Just writing it before I put this into action tonight is making me relax!
Do you have pamper nights? What’s your pamper routine?
