With stressful lives and the gloomy weather, feeling blue in the last legs of winter is almost inevitable. In times like these, I think we all deserve an hour or so just to ourselves for self care in the form of relaxing and pampering. Since I've been feeling a little glum myself, I thought I'd outline some of my favorite ways to "treat yo self"!
Put On Your Favorite Lipstick
Is it just me, or does putting on lipstick put anybody else in a good mood? I have found that devoting a couple minutes to experimenting with your makeup makeup collection has always been a bit therapeutic! After wanting and saving for months, I finally splurged on a Tom Ford lipstick (in Paradiso) and it is heaven. Another favorite? Too Faced's Juicy Melons.
Eat Your Favorite Candy
(Because candy is dandy)
Read a Magazine
While waiting for a face mask or your nails to dry, why not pour over one of your favorite magazines? I am currently smitten with Betty Magazine (look out for a post on this gorgeous magazine soon)!
Use a Face Mask
With a host of affordable to luxury face masks that deep clean, tighten pores or exfoliate on the market, your face deserves a bit of pampering - just don't forget the cucumber slices! n_~ (Here I used a purifying papaya mud mask)
Wear Perfume
I'm kind of guilty of using my perfume only for very, very special occasions - it's just so pretty and expensive I don't ever want to use it all up ;A; I do think, however, spritzing yourself with a lavish scent can be just the right way to perk up your mood! I love Marc Jacob's Daisy (I've had it for years and it still smells perfect!) and Nicki Minaj's fragrance.
Paint Your Nails
Filing and painting one's nails is something I haven't gotten the hang of yet (seriously, how do you people get your nails into specific shapes?!), but now that my nails have grown out (I bite them when I'm nervous!) I've been painting them left and right! Here I'm wearing Wet n Wild's Tickled Pink.

One of my favorite ways to relax is to do my hair while listening to music and play with new makeup. Still searching for the ever elusive perfect shade of lipstick...
ReplyDeleteI pamper myself by taking a long bath, and if I'm feeling up to it, painting my nails afterward.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm having a crummy day, I'll slap on some lipstick, and put a cute bow in my hair.
It's things like these that can really help recharge yourself! Love that lipstick :)
ReplyDeleteI always try to get some time for myself, pamper is essential. Specially after a hard day full of stress, to just lay on the bath, light up some candles and relax, is really helpful.
ReplyDeleteHave an amazing day!

ReplyDeleteLoving these photos! Great tips, I def. need some self-care encouragement <3
ReplyDeleteexperimenting with lipstick is super fun for me!! I get tired of wearing makeup everyday, but since I don't wear lipstick often it is really fun and makes me feel glamorous. :3
ReplyDeleteI really want to check out Betty magazine!! I don't know where to find the newest issue, though.
omg you look flawless even when you're wearing a mask ;___; this is such a cute post! <3
ReplyDeletesuch a cute post!!!! aaaah also if i ever do end up sending you a package (i think i find another dress you might like-ish) i'm giving you some of that perfume i mentioned that smells like candy (it's from a beauty store & it's actually really cheap because you can buy tiny bottles for it for only €3,5), also thinking which belgian candy you might like because i usually don't eat candy and also 90% of things here i chocolate covered.
ReplyDeletealso this is totes how i relax too <3
