| Could I just add how much I love this thumbnail thingy |
I love having pamper afternoons so I thought I would share with you what I do on mine! Everyone should treat themselves to a pamper afternoon/evening regularly as it reduces it stress and makes you feel a lot better about yourself. I try to do this every week or every other week as I enjoy it and I love having an afternoon to myself.
Lets get started!
The first thing I will do is get my dressing gown and slippers out. I don't wear my slippers much so when I do, it's either autumn/winter or pamper time, in this case it was pamper time. I love my slipper boots and they're from Shoe Zone and my dressing gown is from Tesco. I know it would be more relaxing and spa-like to have a white one but I love my one as I'm a child at heart!
I will then run a bath as that's definitely is one of the best things to do when I'm having a pamper routine. The products I used is the Along Came Betty So Much Bubble Heavenly Bath Soak in Very Berry and the Radox Feel Glam With Berry Burst Shower Cream- as you can tell I love berry scents! Now you can choose something to do whilst in the bath like listen to music, watch TV/YouTube or read; I choose to listen to music (I Cry When I Laugh by Jess Glynne in fact). WARNING: If you're using electronics, make sure you're very careful!

I will then wash my hair so it's nice and clean. I didn't usually wash my hair on pamper afternoon but I've started to as it feels nice and I love my shampoo and conditioner. You're probably wondering why I'm using Tesco-own hair products but it's because they're actually really good! They smell divine and they're really nice to apply and make my hair really soft. I will then let my hair air-dry as I can't really be bothered to blow-dry it.
After I finished washing and drying myself, I will put on my onesie. I don't do this in the summer and this pamper afternoon was the first time I wore my onesie in ages! My onesie is from Next and it's really comfy. I'm not a fan of animal themed ones (I know my one is leopard print but I mean is ones that have ears and look like animals). I think wearing a onesie is a typical pamper afternoon essential as who wouldn't want to be comfy during pamper time?
I will then paint my toes and if it's not school time, I will paint my fingernails. This pamper afternoon I painted them a deep purple for fall/autumn. I'm a lot better at painting my toes than fingernails so I do prefer painting my toes. I would show you a picture of my finished toes but my feet are horrible so I thought I would skip that for everyone's pleasure!
Whilst your hair and nails are drying you don't just want to be sitting there so I would recommend you do something relaxing. That could include reading a book or a magazine or watching a TV show or a YouTube video. On this particular pamper afternoon I chose to read OK! as I hadn't read much of it so I thought I would read the latest celebrity gossip!
I will then apply some body lotion all over my body (no I put it in my hair!) to moisturize and to finish off my body after my bath. The one I use is the Along Came Betty Cream Of All Cream Body Lotion in the scent Very Berry. I really like this body lotion as it has a berry scent (my fave!) and it makes my skin super soft! Sometimes I will use body butter but today I wanted to apply body lotion.
Finally I will finish off with a lip balm so my lips are moisturized and looking gorgeous! The one I'm currently using is the Maybelline Baby Lips in Melon Mania. I really like this one as it has a gorgeous scent and it has gorgeous packaging as I love green and pink together. You could use any lip balm you like as I know Baby Lips don't work for everyone but they do for me!
So that's what I do during my pamper time/me time! I really hope you enjoyed this post and let me know if you want more routine posts and I'll be happy to try it out.
