Relaxation

First of all, I would like to apologise for abandoning my blog over Winter, I don't have any excuses, I was just procrastinating a lot. But now I'm back, and hopefully shall upload more often!
 
Today, to get back into the swing of things, I thought I would just write an easy-read, blog post about relaxing, something I do best! As a teenage girl who is no longer in education, I tend to have many existential crisis' about what to do with my life and how to get there, which normally results in massive headaches, confusion, and wanting to just curl up into a ball and sleep in my bed for the rest of time. One thing that helps me chillax, and makes me extremely happy is spending time on YouTube, whether that be creating my own videos, or watching other peoples, but I'll talk about that more in another blog post some time.
 
Today, I'm focussing on bath time. I love baths, I understand they're not every bodies cup of tea, but I love a good, relaxing bath, with some bath soak, or a Lush bath bomb! If you know anything about me, you will probably already know about my obsession with Lush Cosmetics. I love testing out all their different bath bombs/melts. I love the ones that totally change the colour of your bath water and make pretty patterns with all the different colours (I'm still a kid at heart). Bubbles are important too. I don't know what it is about bubbles, but you cant have a good bath without them!
 
Some of my favourite Lush bath products to use are:
The Comforter; this is a bath melt that smells like Ribenna or Vimpto, possibly one of my favourite scents from Lush.
Dragon Egg; I really like this bath bomb because from the outside it doesn't look like much, but once the outer layer has dissolved away, there is a huge surprise that bursts out into your bath, a bit like a volcano erupting.
Snow Fairy & Prince Charming shower/bath gel; These ones are exclusive for Christmas and Valentines only, but they both smell A-MAZE-ING. Both of them smell likes sweets!
Phoenix; I haven't actually used this bath melt yet, but I recently bought it to try it out, I saw a picture on Tumblr of somebodies bath water after they'd used Phoenix and it looked so pretty, like a midnight sky full of stars!
There are so many other products I love but I can't keep listing other wise I'll have a list as long as the Great Wall of China.
 
Bubble baths are the best way to relax, especially in the Winter/Autumn because they warm you up perfectly. They can also help to make you feel all cosy and sleepy, which is great for me as I find it really hard to fall asleep and it can sometimes become quite stressful.
 
I would just advise that you try out loads of different products in your pamper time, because it can be so fun, and you'd be surprised the things you come across that might end up being your favourite thing to use in your 'Me time'.
