Relaxation.

Hiii, this week I thought I'd post about ways which help me relax or de-stress - whatever you want to call it. And maybe these might help you in some way so enjoy! 

Scented Candles

I absolutely adore candles and especially in winter, they make my room look so cosy and warm. The scents are incredible as well and it just relaxes me so much. I do have a few favourite candles so I thought I'd share them with you! I haven't listed them all but here's a few! 

This one is from Wax Lyrical England and it's in the scent 'Wild Honeysuckle.' I must admit at first, I was a little bit skeptical when I read the scent but as soon as I opened it, the scent just hit me and it was absolutely gorgeous! Definitely one of my favourites! 

This one is from ASDA and they do the whole range of the alphabet and they also do an '&' one which I think is a really good idea! This one has a really faint smell of Vanilla, even though it's not the strongest scent, it still smells lovely when it's lit. 

I also tend to have a lot of loose little candles so I put them all in a plant pot and I just keep it on my window sill in my room and every now and then I'll just take some out, light them and refill. Rather than getting big candles, I'll just get a load of little ones. 

Listening to music

At home, I always seem to be listening to music. I'll just put it on whilst I'm working or just lounging around, I'll just stick my headphones in for hours and listen to music.  At the moment, I'll listen to the charts that are on Spotify and I'm also obsessed with the albums Made in the AM (One Direction), Sounds Good Feels Good (5SOS), Delirium (Ellie Goulding) and The Balcony (Catfish and the Bottlemen). I think music just blocks everything out and it can really help you relax. 

Reading 

I was never a big fan of reading but I think as soon as you start looking for books yourself and you actually find one you like, it's so relaxing. Again, like music, it just blocks everything out for a while. 

Taking my make up off

I find it so satisfying. I love taking my make up off, granted, at like 11 o clock at night when I'm taking it off, not my favourite thing to do. However when I'm in the shower or just sitting around at home, I love taking my make up off. And then putting on moisturiser and face masks (another thing that relaxes me), I just feel so much better!

BATHS

I do love a bath. I just fill it up to the top, full of hot water, put some music on, maybe light some candles and just lie there for a while. 

I haven't said this for a while but if you have a spare 30 seconds, feel free to head over to Twitter/Instagram/Bloglovin' and follow me if you don't already! I'd appreciate it a lot!
