LITTLE WAYS TO RELAX


Products shown - MAC Dame blush and Pink Rebel lustre drops,
The Body Shop Moringa body butter and Tea Tree face mask.

We all have those days where we feel tired, down or uninspired by life. So here a few a little methods to relax and freshen up on those dull days.

A HEALTHY SNACK 
Eating healthy food is not only good for you, but it's refreshing and a good way to cleanse your insides. Plenty of water is a must have.

LISTEN TO MUSIC 
Relaxing tunes or your favourite songs are great ways to stimulate your brain.

READING
Reading not only stimulates your brain but is also scientifically proven to relax it and is a recommended method for stress.

SCENTS 
From bath bombs to your favourite smelling candle, soft and natural scents are good for calming.

FACIAL FREEDOM 
Relieve your skin of makeup for a few days. It's good to let the pores breathe and allow any pesky pimples to heal. It is known that makeup blocks our skin when we're hot due to our pores opening to sweat. Face masks and moisturisers are great ways to exfoliate your skin. Tea Tree and Witch Hazel are good because they are antibacterial. You can tell my Body Shop products are much-loved!

A MAKEUP METHOD 
For when you do want to wear makeup, I always find a natural glow from blusher or highlighter makes me appear healthy on the outside. Yes, it isn't the most natural method, but for when we want to apply makeup I always find this makes me feel better.

So I hope these little ways to relax and freshen up have helped you! Even the smallest things can make you feel that spark you're searching for.

CORNWALL CARAVANNING


Spending the last five days caravanning at Treyarnon Bay in Cornwall was definitely a getaway I've always wanted. Not only being with my closest friend and her family, but away from internet and modern civilisation. Instead we were surrounded by other caravaners with a beach and sea at our fingertips.

Other than evening walks along the beach with breathtaking sunsets and cliff strolls to Constantine Bay, we also travelled to a few other Cornish towns, such as St.Ives and Padstow, which were very busy, but I guess that just added to the summery feel. Luckily the weather was in our favour and we weren't caught in any showers, and I am pleased to say I feel rather sun-kissed.

The Maldives and Cornwall...this has definitely been one of the best summers so far and I can't wait for more to come.
