We all know how hectic and crazy the preparation for Christmas can be and although I sort of love the craziness it can be a bit overwhelming at times too. I had a list the length of my arm and very few days to get it all done and it was really stressing me out, and at Christmas that’s the worst! So what do you do in that situation? Take yourself away from the stress and give yourself time to relax and enjoy the holidays, then you’ll be ready to face the Christmas tasks ahead. And once your more relaxed those tasks are alot easier to face and aren’t usually as bad as they seem, I mean what could be more christmassy than wrapping & sorting out presents.
Here’s how I wound down, chilled out and relaxed ready for the day ahead…
First up, I ran a lovely bath! π I love baths so much and I had one Christmas Lush Bath bomb left to use so why not?!
The bath bomb that I had left was my Father christmas one…
I popped this into my bath and it smelt so good.
I didn’t realise he was green inside!!
I had a moisture bomb face mask left so I thought I would pop this on too!
If you havnt tried these I definatly would!! They leave your skin feeling so soft. If you want to know more about it my sister wrote about them on her blog, you can check that out here.
Lookin’ good βπ
I still hadn’t burnt my Yankee candle wax melt in the scent ‘Christmas cookie’ so I thought, why not do that now too. It smells SO Christmassy & sweet.
And you can’t have a relaxing bath without candles.
& lastly (Once I’d taken the face mask off, of course!!) I grabbed my book to read whilst I soaked…
I decided to start reading one of the Harry Potter books (yes, again) and I went for the 6th book ‘The half blood prince’. I love the later books as you learn so much about the story and they tie up lots of loose ends. This is one of my favourites.
So that’s how I relaxed and I felt much better and ready to tackle all those Christmas jobs once I’d had some me time π
How do you relax? Any bath product recommendations?
