As the days get shorter and darker, you’d be forgiven for feeling a bit gloomy this November. Those lazy summer days stretching out in the park are long gone, replaced with cardigans, drizzly weather and the school run. But not to worry, we’re here to help perk you up! We’ve come up with ten of the best ways to pamper yourself – why not have a go?
SIT DOWN WITH A CUP OF TEA
The ultimate go-to when you’re feeling down has to be a good old fashioned cuppa. What better way to take five than to sit down with a proper brew? We love the Happy Uplifting Tea from Teapigs – with lemon balm, turmeric and apple, it’s bound to lift your spirits!
TAKE A WARM BATH
It may be a cliche, but there are scientifically proven benefits of taking a warm bath, including improving blood flow, relieving symptoms of cold and flu and improving immunity! Why not try it with our Pink Himalayan Bath Salts to soothe aches and pains?
BUY YOURSELF A TREAT
Whether it’s those boots you’ve had your eye on for a while, or just some chocolate from the supermarket, treating yourself has never been more important. Go on, do it!
WATCH YOUR FAVOURITE SHOW
In these busy and, frankly, stressful times, it’s super important to take time for yourself. We’d recommend kicking back and watching your favourite show on Netflix. You could even go all out and pair it with some popcorn – yum!
READ A GOOD BOOK
There’s nothing like curling up with a good book for a bit of escapism to pamper yourself at home. Maybe even combine it with a nice glass of wine for maximum relaxing!
TREAT YOURSELF TO A MASSAGE
Try looking online for offers, and get yourself a discounted massage to really relax and de-stress. Is there a better way to pamper yourself? We don’t think so!
USE A FACE MASK
Okay, so a professional facial might be off the cards, but who needs that when you can pamper yourself at home just as easily with a gorgeous sheet mask? We love a sheet mask to feel extra luxe.
EXPERIMENT WITH AROMATHERAPY
Aromatherapy has been used for thousands of years to destress and calm the mind, and for good reason. Why not try wax melts to instantly surround yourself with a gorgeous scent?
SUBSCRIBE TO A MONTHLY TREATBOX
Why not get yourself a monthly self-care treat? With a TreatBox subscription, we can supply you with a dose of happiness right through your letterbox!
GET SOME SLEEP!
The best way to truly pamper yourself and feel your best is to make sure you’re getting enough sleep. Most healthy adults need between 7 and 9 hours a night, so get yourself to bed early and turn off those lights!
We hope this has given you a bit of inspo on how to really pamper yourself and perk yourself up in these darker months. Let us know in the comments below what your top tips are!
