Me-Time, How do you spend yours? National Me Time Day - 28th October
Thou shalt pamper on a Sunday!
Sunday is supposed to be the day of rest, but so often it can turn into the busiest day of all! With a roast dinner to cook, kids to run around after and a million and one chores to complete, time for ourselves is usually forgotten. Here are our top tips for reclaiming what is rightfully yours - Me-time!
Drop the guilt - it isn't selfish to take time out to look after your own well-being. After all, you must look after yourself in order to look after others.
Instead of the usual round of Sunday night television, enjoy quiet meditation by wrapping yourself in a fluffy towel, snuggling up to your favourite cushion and getting stuck in to a good book. Before you get started, you could apply a refreshing Volume Miracle Hair Masque and give your locks a boost as well as your wellbeing. Any chocolates you could indulge in?!
Religiously plan to have a girls afternoon every week. Get out the rose wine, change into your comfiest clothes and ditch the Sunday cooking! Once the face masques have been passed around, all that’s left is to have a good girly gossip – it’s extremely good for the soul!
If you’re day tends to be full of noise and chaos, why not head to the bathroom to enjoy your me-time? Make family aware that you’re not to be disturbed, run a hot bubbly bath and enjoy a little peace and quiet! This is the perfect time to apply a Montagne Jeunesse face masque to enhance the relaxing experience. The delicious smelling Detox Tonic with Lemon and Ginseng is an ideal choice. This could be your weekly Sunday ritual.
Turn bad weather to your advantage, by recouping your me-time with a pampering night in! Try starting with a deep cleansing face masque like the Dead Sea Mud Pac from Montagne Jeunesse, followed by a thoroughly nourishing treat like the Overnight Disappearing Ultra Firming Masque. You can also enjoy delicious treats for you body, hair and feet, leaving you looking as fabulous as you feel!
Exercising is a fantastic was to beat stress and enjoy some me-time in the great outdoors. When we exert ourselves, we release endorphins which give us a natural high with no side-effects, meaning that we are both happier and healthier as a result. Afterwards, treat yourself to Montagne Jeunesse Morello Cherry and Mint Tired Leg Gel – you deserve it!
If you have children, claim a little extra me-time by encouraging them to help with everyday chores. Simply putting their own toys away at the end converts into an extra five minutes for you to spend on yourself. Why not try a face masque!? You tell us that you wear them washing up & hovering! Blimey, mums know how to multi-task!
When you get home and the kids are in bed, trying winding down with our Aromatherapy Tonic (see below). Thanks to the delicious scent of lavender you will certainly sleep like a baby!
We’re loving the Aromatherapy Tonic! Scents like Lavender, Sandalwood and Chamomile have long been renowned for their relaxing properties. You can benefit from their soothing powers in just five minutes with the Spa Fabric facial Aromatherapy Tonic. This no-fuss fabric masque is great for dry skin and will leave you re-hydrated, rejuvenated and glowing with natural radiance.
