My Pamper Night Essentials ♥

I find pamper nights are the perfect pick me up, weather it be after a long weekend of partying or mid week to keep myself feeling refreshed and relaxed for the rest of the week!

Step 1 - Face Care

I find cleaning my face beneficial to do first, as i like to wear a face mask in the bath. I begin by gently exfoliating my face with my Nivea Gentle Exfoliating Scrub, this helps to remove dry skin and any excess make up i may have left behind. 

I then take my Nivea Daily Essentials 2 in 1 Cleanser and Toner. I find with this product a little goes along way, i tend to apply to my skin then leave for a couple of minute to let the product sink in.

I've been loving Superdrug's face masks recently as the few i have tried out have left my skin feeling baby soft! The mask i used here was the Anti-aging Moisture Mask, obviously aging isn't something i need to worry about, just yet! But i find moisture masks are perfect for my usually typically dry skin. I recommend picking up a few of the masks, there is a 3 for 2 offer on at the moment!

Step 2 - Bubble Bath

There's nothing like a hot bubble bath to relieve the body of stress and tension. Usually i create the bubbles using my smaller siblings bubble bath mix, just because it smells a-mazing and is pure to the skin. 

I wash my body with my exfoliating gloves, smothering them with my Dove Exfoliating Soap! Exfoliating gloves are a great and easy way to remove dry skin. This step is also important to do if you plan on applying tan, as it stops it from building up in dry areas.

For extra comfort i dot a few small candles around the bathroom and turn off the main bright light!

Step 3 - Silky Smooth Hair!

 I wash my hair with the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Conditioner and Shampoo, always rinsing thoroughly with the shower head. This product is great, the difference in my hair colour is amazing!

Step 4 - Moisturizing & Teeth Whitening!

I love the Garnier Summer Body Moisturizing Lotion in the colour Deep Sun-kissed Look. It has  such a fresh summer smell, moisturizes my skin beautifully and gives me a sun kissed glow after one application. If i would like a deeper tan for the next day i usually apply in the morning then before bed, this way my skin darkens while i sleep! I like to apply it straight after my bath to lock in moisture. 

I massage Soap & Glory's The Firminator into my knees, lower leg, bum and my inner thighs. This product smells so good! I've been using for about 3 and a half weeks now along side a moderate work out routine and i can definitely see a noticeably difference, especially to my bum!

I purchased a teeth whitening kit off of Amazon not thinking much of it as it only cost £8.00, but its great! I fill the two trays up with the whitening paste, place them in my mouth and the UV light in front, then leave them in for 20 minutes. White teeth is something i take seriously, because who doesn't want a beautiful smile?

Step 5 - Pajamas!

I fell in love with these adorable Gismo Gremlin pajamas when i saw them in primark and for a tiny price of £5.00, who wouldn't buy them?! They're a lovely lightweight fabric, perfect to throw on on a summer's night!

Step 6 - Hair Care

I spray John Frieda's Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Spray through out my towel dried hair, focusing mainly on my dip dyed ends. Using this product along side the Go Blonder shampoo and Conditioner has made my hair at least 4 shades lighter!

Although John Frieda products are great for lightening they lack when it comes to moisturizing my hair. So to keep my hair soft i spray Herbal Essences Bee Strong Leaving in Conditioner all over, again mainly focusing on the lighter ends.

Finally when my hair is almost dry i apply to pumps of Wella Oil to my hands, then rub it through out my hair!

I hope this post has gave you a insight into my pamper sessions and the product i like to use. Also i hope it has perhaps inspired you to treat yourself to a night of pampering every so often too!

Handy Summer Bags♥

Backpacks are probably the most comfortable, easiest accessory for carry around those needed bits and bobs! I picked both of these adorable bags up in Primark for great prices! 

I find the smaller black bag goes with everything; i use it mainly for casual days out and about, but i have found it works just as well for the nights out too, as i can fit my make up, phone, purse and any other bits in nicely. 

I'm a huge fan of daisies, so anything with them on instantly catches my eye. I think this denim bag looks great and i love the vintage vibe. The bag its self is quite flimsy, but i find this makes it easy to fit a lot more things in. I love taking it on walks and to the beach. I also find it's the perfect size to use as an over night bag!

♥Daisy Bag - £9.00

♥Black Bag - £12.00

Satchels are my favourite! They're so effortlessly classic and pretty. My collection may be small, but i'm only getting started, believe me! My black satchel is the oldest and has been a trusted friend day or night.

The pastel pink and lilac are recent purchases and i love them soooo much! This summer my obsession with pastel colours has grow very strong. When shopping, weather it be online or on the high street its impossible for me to miss a beautiful pastel piece. 

The black outlining around the edges of each bag makes the colours pop and adds definition. The latch on my lilac bag is a little tougher to open as one of the circle buttons has to be pushed to the left. I find a good fastening bag gives me piece of mind on a night out, as it can't be flipped open when i'm not looking! 

 I've always been the kind of girl to just have one bag that i use for everything, although recently (the past year) I've been trying to purchase more and mix up my outfits. I felt this satchel in particular needed a special shout out, purely because it is so lovely to look at. It makes me happy knowing i have it in my life!

I've saved the most extravagant till last! This metallic beauty is the perfect clutched companion. I love taking it out on the town, as it catches the lights amazingly and although it is thin the overall size is perfect to fit in my needed items. It comes with a wrist strap, which is great when my arm gets a little tired, i can just let it hang! 

I would usually style this clutch with a little black dress and my matching metallic shoes, keeping a constant theme, although i feel this could be paired with a variety of outfits, as it's sure to add the eye catching factor!

Casual Summer Shorts ♥

                                                                                   

These culottes shorts are so easy to throw on on a hot day. They are fairly high waisted, resting perfectly on my hips. This also makes them great to match with a crop top as skin is shown, just not too much! The lilac colour and floral pattern is perfect for this summers trends.

Running shorts are a easy, comfortable option to have in my wardrobe, especially in the summer. I picked these shorts up because of the eyelash lace trim, that appears as if its floating from either side of the shorts, and also graces the bottom of each leg hole. The lace gives a nice girly edge to what is usually a basic piece.

These running shorts are so comfortable! The aztec/watercolour style patterning looks great and has a nice edgy look. These short can be worn high waisted or on the hips, personally i prefer to wear shorts high waisted, as i'm not one to display the whole of my tummy! I've been pairing these shorts with a casual plain crop and a black kimono, to add that extra edge.

I'm in love with these culottes shorts, they are so cute! The pastel blue and spotty pattern looks perfect together. I feel they could be quite versatile, pairing with a plain crop during the day and sandals. For night time i find a cropped shirt, white wedges and a statement necklace looks very put together and girly.
