What to Do with Me-Time

I’ve found that the older I get, the more me-time I need to take. I am constantly hearing about lack of free-time in our lives but I really have been trying to take 10 minutes for myself here & there. Today I thought it would be fun to see what I do & some of my favorite products to use along the way!

As many of you know- I’m a bit of a nail art nut! What you might not know is that I consider my nail time often as me-time since it gets me to slow down & quit going for a little while. Hard to do too much when your nails are wet right? Some of my must-have shades right now are from the KBShimmer Spring line & you can see a few in action in some recent nail art here. This Kiss Salon Secrets Luxe Accents kit just got here & I am so excited to play with some of the faux turquoise stones for summer & iridescent triangles! Many of you know I am wild about Nail Butter after featuring it in my favorites here but I am also a huge fan of the travel-friendly Sephora nail files as well!

My house is also a meeting place for chocolate lovers & the SNICKERS® Almond bars are some of our favorites. I toast almonds in the house all the time like on this chicken recipe on Home in High Heels so it isn’t a surprise this candy bar is one of our favorites! We’ve also been liking the SNICKERS® Peanut Butter Squares which we picked up at Walgreens recently. There is 2 per package so they are perfect to share…or not. There are very few items made more perfectly for a bit of me-time, right?

I find reaching for some splurge-worthy items often makes me feel a bit special on a bad day. The Bite Agave Lip Mask works hard to repair lips but also just makes them feel so lovely. This Yves Saint Laurent YSL ROUGE VOLUPTÉ Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick in Caress Pink instantly makes me feel prettier & more upbeat. The Dior Crème de Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm is another that just makes me happy & the rose scent is so luxe.

Scents are so important to us as humans & certain smells can actually alter your mood! I keep a variety of products around with that in mind including the selection above! I recently got three candles from Old Factory in a sampler with Green Tea, Cucumber, & Lemongrass which are super relaxing & burn clean. The Skin & Co Sicilian Body Lotion is divine & has a mixed of conditioner & citrus which I love for daytime. The Badger Certified Organic Focus Balm is packed with scents like citrus & ginger & lives next to my desk for a few moments of rubbing to the temples during a long day. This L’Occitane Cherry Blossom L’Eau Shower Milk is my favorite on dreary days because it really smells like a delicate spring floral!

Don’t quite have 10 minutes free but want to do some pampering? I’m a huge fan of face masks! I tend to multi-task when wearing one with any of the above or below tips but I also break out the kindle for some reading sometimes! Here I have the Glam Glow ThirstyMud Mask which I tried a sample of & really liked, the Boscia Luminizing Black Mask which helps with dead skin, & the Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask which really kills breakouts! Use masks to make your skin look better even when you’re short on time!
