In all walks of life, things can get a bit hectic sometimes and it can be easy to forget to take some time to just chill out. I absolutely adore blogging, and wouldn’t do it all on top of my day job if I didn’t – but as with all hobbies that you are dedicated to doing, things can get a little exhausting and busy and then the emails start to stack up and then you end up feeling like the last thing you want to do at the end of a long day at work is fire up the laptop and click away.
So I decided to dedicate a post to this and all the simple things I turn to when my slightly double-life – social media manager by day…blogger by night – (hardly like catwoman or something) starts to make me need to take a break.
Now please don’t get me wrong, as I said I do adore blogging and there’s no-one but me out there who forces me to post as regularly as I do. But my blog means a lot of me, which means I want to make it the best I can – which can mean I pressure myself to take it quite seriously, post frequently and *try* to keep on top of the emails that come in – and since I’m human, and this can sometimes feel a little like it turns into a second full time job there are naturally times my motivation dips and so I take a break.
I loved reading this post 🙂 I love days like these, where you can relax and do what you like without being in a hurry 🙂 everyone needs it sometime!

Love it! I’m almost exactly the same. Candles are always a must for relaxation!

Yep, all of the above help me to relax, I have Elle on Zinio, it’s really handy if you’re going somewhere as you can just have a read on the go. I find walking the dog or even just having a little cuddle with her is a good chill out tool too!
I bought the OPI Nail envy for sensitive and peeling nails the other day! I’m currently using it to see how it works

I totally agree, sometimes its so important to relax and de-stress. I really love candles as well, there’s something about them that just feels so relaxing and luxurious, and if you pick the right scent they just make everything smell delicious. I like a good old face mask as well, that always makes me feel very pampered.

I love sitting back to relax when there’s so much going on, and it doesn’t count as a proper pampering sesh without candles! I usually just go for plain tealights in nice candle holders, but I’ve been wishlisting a neom candle for months, they sound amazing!
Ahh didn’t know you could subscribe to Allure like that – thanks for letting us know. It’s always been my beauty bible but I hate having loads of tatty magazines around!
