Can you believe that December is here
already?! I’ve been longing for this
since summer, and now that it’s here it’s all going too fast - I’m two doors
into my Yankee Candle advent calendar, let’s stop for a minute people!
It’s been a while since I did a favourites
post, so here is what I’ve been loving this month.
I treated myself to the Zoella Gingerbread and Vanilla
Fragrance set back in October after watching loads of Vlogs online about how
amazing it smelt, and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since it arrived. The body cream smells absolutely amazing,
like good enough to eat! I like to apply
this throughout the day for a spicy little pick me up, especially now that the
colder weather is upon us. The fragrance
spray smells so amazing too, it’s like Christmas in a bottle and it’s
perfect! I’ve been using it most days to
get me into the festive mood, and now that December is finally here, I have a
funny feeling that I’m going to bleed the bottle dry before the 25th!
I think that my absolute favourite product right
now had got to be the This Works Deep Sleep Spray. I never thought that a sleep spray would actually
ever do anything… but this one? I think
it is the absolute BEST thing that I have ever come across. Again, I treated myself to a sample bottle of
this and the Stress Less roll on oil back in October, and I’ve been using them
both ever since. It works great for
those days when I’ve had a super busy day at work or a horrible day at uni – I
simply use a few pumps on my pillow and jump into bed. Now I’m not saying that the stuff puts me
straight to sleep, because that is not the case at all. What I am saying though is that I have the
best nights sleep when I use it – I sleep the whole night with little to no
disturbances, and I feel so refreshed in the morning when it’s time to get
up. I’ve put this on my Santa list
because I’m obsessed, so obsessed in fact that I picked up not one, but two
copies of last months Marie Claire magazine – simply because you got a sample
bottle with each mag!
At the start of November I started to feel really
stressed out with all of the uni work that I’ve got going on. I had read online that essential oils are
meant to be great for calming you down, so I ordered a peppermint roll on oil
and ylang ylang roll on for a couple of quid off of Amazon, just to carry
around on me whenever I’m at work or in class.
Although I’ve not been using the ylang and ylang one much, the
peppermint oil has been life changing! First
of all it’s so refreshing to use throughout the day as a nice little pick me
up. I love minty smells, and so it’s
really nice when you get a whiff of it as you’re going about your day. Secondly, I think that it works really well
for me whenever I’m feeling super stressed or a little anxious. I apply it to
my pulse points, then I like to sit with the lid off of the bottle for a little
bit, just so that I can inhale the minty goodness. I like to concentrate on my breathing when
I’m doing this, and normally this works really well for calming my nerves. Finally, I love using this when I’ve got a
headache. Again, I just find the smell
really soothing and I enjoy the tingly feeling that it gives my temples.
And there we have it, these are the products that
I’ve been swearing by this month!
They’re all kind of feel good products, which is actually quite nice for
a change – as it’s important to take some time out sometimes and just look
after yourself!
What have you been loving over the last couple of
months?
Until the next one,
