Combating Stress #1 - Pampering

Stress is when we have too much pressure put upon us. In most cases a little bit of pressure is good to get us motivated but sometimes life can be busy and we become stressed. In my experience dealing with stress can sometimes be confusing and we don't know how to manage. My best advice is too take a step back from what you are doing (usually multiple things at a time). We become overwhelmed and can't see the big picture when stressed. By taking a step back we can analyse what is causing the stress and what we have to do.

To help you with dealing with stress I have created this series. Each post will go in depth about one way you can relieve stress, by taking a step back.

Today's post is about pampering yourself and relaxing. Now there are many ways to pamper and relax but I'll share one of my favourite things to do. That is to take a bath and use products from my all time favourite pampering shop, LUSH. They have a great selection of bath/shower products, treatments and cosmetics. All cruelty free using premium ingredients that support many people all over the world.

I like to catch up on my favourite TV shows while soaking in all the nourishing ingredients from a bath bomb. The one below is a bath bomb/bath melt called 'Golden Egg'. It helps to moisturise my skin and leaving me smelling like honey and caramel.

Some more Lush products that I love!

There are so many types of products that all do different things, and some specific products have special calming properties like calming scents, and made for the purpose of relaxing.

My all time favourite Lush product is the Yog Nog soap because it smells so good and is really creamy and soothing.

Definitely try having a bath and maybe using some products to pamper yourself. Taking this time out not thinking about stressors will calm your body. This is by far one of my favourite ways to treat myself and relieve stress quite often.
