Me-Time ♡


First of all, I want to apologise for not posting a lot lately, i've been really busy with school and other stuff, so sadly I didn't get time to blog.  I will go on a one month blog break, because my finals are in May, and its about time that I get serious, so I will start blogging regularly again, sometime in May, after my exams are over. 

 I've been really stressed lately, because of my exams, my sleeping habits have been whack, and I'm also really exhausted, because I've had to go to the dentist every second or third day for the past two weeks, for all sorts of dental related things, I'm getting braces pretty soon and that's why. I had and have to get all sorts of painful things done. The whole idea of going to the dentist and getting all of these dental procedures done, which I've never done before, is pretty stressful. I worry and think too much, and this has really been bothering me and stressing me out, it might sound really lame, but its true. So, I thought I would give my self a break from worrying, and just relax. My spring break just started, and I thought this was the perfect time to unwind a little, before going back to studying and stressing.

I started 'Me Time by pampering my self. I wiped my makeup off, and put on a face and hair mask, followed by the Clinique clarifying lotion, and a simple moisturiser (the brand Simple :p) for my face and an overnight repair serum for my hair. Put on the bubblegum lip scrub from Lush, and afterwards the No7 Protect and Perfect lip care, used my lovely EOS hand cream, and then put on my lovely Bath and Body Works body lotion. I also love lighting a candle, and spraying my Sleep by Boots room spray, and the Sleep pillow spray on my pillow, it does a great job at creating a calm and relaxing atmosphere. After all of this, I like spending a good amount of time, painting my nails. 

Its really important to be comfortable, so I wore my pjs and a loose knit. The perfect way to get your mind off something, is to read a nice book; it takes you to this whole other world and/or state of mind, if its a good book. You also forget all about whats going on around you, which honestly feels great at times. I'm reading The Fault in Our Stars by John Green (the second time), which I bet you've read or heard about. This is definitely one of those lovely books, that you can't put down. In conclusion, I think reading a book and drinking a cup of milk tea (or any tea), is the best way to relax. 

Next up, I like listening to music, I've recently discovered this amazing site called 8tracks, and I've been spending a lot of time on it, there are so many great playlists on 8tracks, theres a playlist for everything! I also like going on Tumblr, I spend A LOT of time on Tumblr scrolling through my dashboard, reblogging stuff (My Tumblr). I also like watching shows, like Pretty Little Liars, Once Upon A Time, Modern Family, The Carrie Diaries e.t.c, to relax.

I make my bed as cozy as possible, I do this, by turning on my fairy lights, putting some cute pillows and having my adorable plush by my side (don't judge me, its super adorable). 

I would love to know what you do during your 'me time', what shows you watch, and what books you are reading atm (I'm a nosy person like that :3) Also, leave your tumblr urls in the comments if you want, I would love to check them out :3 (PS I'm sorry for rambling :p).
