As test week is coming to an end I thought it would be nice to share some tips and tricks on how to have what I like to call a self-care night! I am a huge believer in setting time apart just to wind down and treat yourself, especially after a busy, stressful week. Self-care can sometimes not be a priority especially when you have a thousand other things to do, but hopefully, you can start to incorporate these ideas in your everyday life.

The first thing I like to do is make my living space nice and cozy. This is probably a weird thing to do when you're trying to destress but I personally find it makes myself feel better when I have a clean space so I usually like to start off my self-care night by cleaning up my room I don't use this time to deep clean everything but I find that if you pick up the inevitable clothes lying on the floor and just straighten everything up it is an instant mood booster. Next, I usually like to light the candles in my room and turn on my fairy lights, this is such a small thing to do but I love the way my room transforms into a cozy space just by adding these few touches.

Once that is over I usually like to get something to eat. Depending on your preferences you could make something yourself if you enjoy cooking or if you are anything like me I usually opt out for takeout. After I finish dinner I usually decide to take a bubble bath because for me taking a bath is a huge stress reliever. Bath bombs are always a plus! I really try to take time and focus on myself while having these types of nights so I will usually go the extra mile in pampering myself, for instance, I 100% recommend putting on a face mask and maybe even a hair mask. After having my face mask on for a while I would wash it off my face and really focus on my skin care. Some types of skin care I would recommend is applying a toner, facial moisturizer, and recently I've been really into using a face oil. For my hair, some products I like to use would be a leave-in conditioner and a hair oil.

When you get done with that I like to get comfortable in my pajamas. At this point, I would head to bed and turn on either a movie or the TV series I am binge watching at the time. I usually like to head to bed early on my self-care night because especially if I had a stressful week just catching up on sleep is always a good idea. While these ideas do not seem like anything out of the ordinary you could really use these ideas to give yourself a little pampering.
