Self Care Sundays

10th March 2019 Be first to comment

Pin It

During the week, most are us are heaving for the weekend to come fast! We crave outings, beer gardens, parties, clubs, spending quality time with our loved ones or friends and just winding down after the week. As it is known, Sunday is the day of rest, that is if you don’t work etc.

For me, Sunday is a day where my boyfriend and I relax, share cuddles, make comforting food and get our lazy on! It usually consists of him playing some video games and me sitting on my bed catching up on some art work, reading or blogging.Β 

We sometimes make our day a film day, which is usually full of horrors and Ghost adventures! For some reason Sundays make us crave some scary or intriguing stories – they always make us want to get cosy.

Β 

So, If you’re anything like me and you like to make Sunday a day of self care rituals, then stick around for some ideas of ways to practise self care.Β 

Food & Drink

One thing I always promote in terms of self care is food.Β 
As a keen baker and vegan food enthusiast, I love trying new recipes and experimenting with different foods. Some healthy & some not so much hehe! I do love creating cakes, cupcakes, muffins, biscuits, cookies, gingerbread and all you can imagine!Β 
It can be so hard to find vegan treats out and about, so I took matters into my own hands to create them myself for whenever we fancy a cheeky treat.

Self care could include healthy meals, but It also stands for caring for yourself mentally and treating yourself. Eating nourishing food, savoury and sweet is what we need at times. It’s all about balance.

Pamper

Pamper day!

A huge part of my self care is looking after my skin and feeling clean, cosy and healthy.
I’m always searching for new skin care from Superdrug, LUSH and many other wonderful companies. After becoming a LUSH VIP I really got into trying and reviewing new cruelty free and vegan products and helping others in their skin care journey.
I like to try all kinds of face masks, bath products, shower products, facial cleansers, toners, exfoliators and moisturisers, It’s so much fun!
During one of LUSH’s events, we made our own face mask and our very own “Sex bomb” bath bomb; Both were delightful! Each use I get out of my face mask, I always feel so proud to have created it myself hehe.

As well as skin care, I always promote taking good care of my hair. I’m someone who has been dying my hair since I was aged 12 so having a good hair care ritual is so important in keeping my it healthy, silky and lovely. After all If your hair is feeling rubbish, It really does have an impact on how you feel.

Something I love doing and It excited me each time, is showering or bathing, mainly bathing but I don’t have a bath at home sadly. I love feeling clean, fresh and relaxed whilst also having the chance to try different hair care & skin care products! Especially when they look and smell incredible. It turns from plain old cleaning to a beautifully scented colourful shower party hehe!

Hobbies

Art!

A hobby of mine is art & Illustration. It always seems to calm me down and I then create something beautiful out of my anxious feelings & thoughts. As a creative person I find myself always reaching for my pens and pencils, mandala colouring books, art pads, paints, knitting needles, graphics tablet and my puzzle games. I'm so creatively driven and often find the answers to my problems through creation.

Reading!

Another hobby of mine which I find so comforting is reading. Whether it be on my amazon fire or hard copy, I just love diving into a good book where my mind can run free to create wonderful imagery and adventure. There's nothing better than hopping into your fav nook or area of the house, getting cosy and having a good read. No pressure, no rushing, no strain, just you, your home and the book of your choice.

Baking!

Baking for me is therapeutic, fun, rewarding and you end up with tasty treats!Β 
Although not every single creation will be “Instagram-able”, there’s always fun and humour in making a complete mess. Laughing whilst baking just adds to the experience.
Ending up with beautiful creations is a wonderful feeling; Taking pictures, sharing on your social media and just admiring your hard work, however… It makes eating them harder because we don’t want to ruin them hehe!

Baking can be done with family and friends too. It’s a great way to spend time laughing, learning and then munching afterwards.

Self care is to the individual. It changes each day and some days we need more or less caring for. The list is endless as to how we practise self care. How do you promote self care? I'd love to hear!
Stay wonderful!

Happiness, Lifestyle and all things wonderful.
I always say that the most important thing in life is happiness, therefore that is what I'd like to share.
I'm an honest, kind and happy person who loves sharing my experiences and real stories to help others like me realise they are not alone in this huge world.
I'm a huge supporter of mental health and body positivity and believe we can change the way society is about these topics together.
Just a small girl in a big world trying to be happy!

Here is my unboxing of my first Pause subscription box in April! 

April was all about reading and finding calm through reading. In order to embrace pausing though reading, this month included a task where we make Pompom book marks.

With green yarn it was lovely to follow the guide and find calm whilst making a little pompom bookmark.
