The Perfect Night In

Whether you're stressed, tired or simply in need of a night in to relax, then you have come to the right place. Needing to relax is a necessity to getting on with a week of school, work or college otherwise you'll make yourself feel absolutely dreadful, and no one needs that really, do they?


Bubbles..

Okay, so first things first, a nice hot bath will automatically chill you out. Bubbles, candles, the lot! I personally recommend taking a trip to Lush to purchase magical bath bombs, soaps and melts to really relax, and with their massive selection, I'm sure you'll be in the shop for a while. Lush is also an advocate for the ban of animal testing,  so you can feel like you've done a good deed with helping out an amazing cause, as well as feeling good in yourself. Or if you're not a bath person, they also do amazing shower gels and soaps to get the same relaxing effect.



After your bath, get into your comfiest and warmest pajamas that you own. There is nothing worse than sitting on the sofa feeling uncomfortable and cold in what you're wearing. And another thing, remove your makeup and find a nice face mask to wear, they don't have to be expensive either, Superdrug and Boots do them for less than a £1 each, but if you're willing to spend a bit more, then Lush also do them.

Food

Pick food that you enjoy! Whether you fancy a healthy chicken salad or you want to order a takeout, food is always something that will change your mood. Pick a snack for the evening, a bowl of popcorn, some Malteasers or a fruit salad. Again, its whatever you feel comfortable with.

Time To Chill..

After a nice soak and getting comfy in bed or on the sofa, you can settle down and plan your evening. You can watch some episodes of a series on Netflix. My recommendations would be Breaking Bad, Pretty Little Liars, Gavin and Stacey or Orange Is The New Black. You can watch a film to keep you entertained or read a book that you love, all with a nice bowl of snacks next to you.

Relaxing is a vital part of getting on with your week, so why not make the most of it!
