Relax....please...

I don't know why but sometimes I take changes quite badly. I stress myself too much about stupid things. I am having just a change at work and let me tell ya, I feel drained after each day at work. I just don't have fun somehow anymore.

When these time come, there come times when I have to take care of myself a little bit more. Making sure I exercise a little (at least have some kind of movement), take more vitamin C (as we are in need more of it while having stress) and mostly having a nice cup of tea and bath.

Bath just can me make so happy somehow. Pathetic maybe, but it just helps me to just forget about thinking too much.

I love bath salts. Currently I am using Champneys Spa Treatments Mineral Detox Bath salts which reminds me of a nice mens cologne which is completely ok with me to have a relax. Next I am liking Aveda Stress-fix soaking salts which are specifically perfect for me with proven releasing feeling of stress.

I have made a little order to try even bath oil from Jo Malone, will definitely do a blogpost for you about that one as I am so curious if splurging on a bath oil is worth it.

Definitely there is also Lush on my list, but so far I am starting slowly stocking up. Slowly. There will be a better time when the special scents and bath bombs will come back. Can't wait.

What is your way to be stress free?

Review: Estee Lauder Stress Relief Eye Mask

I am always interested in eye products as I feel my eye are gets dry first, gets tired first, gets old first. Our eye area is actually 10 times thinner than the rest of the face, so it definitely needs a little bit more attention.

I love to go for eye masks, but mostly what I could find on the market was the asian version (and unknown brands). I was looking for something a little bit more luxurious, a brand that you can trust. I found only Estee Lauder and YSL to do such a thing, but YSL eye patches are 8 for £40 as Estee Lauder has 10 packettes for £26. Much more bearable price.

This is what is promised:

"A revitalizing, 10-minute treatment for delicate eye area-the part of our face that shows stress first and more noticeably. Pre-moistened pads hydrate and soothe skin, diminish puffiness and other signs of fatigue, reduce appearance of tiny lines and wrinkles. Contains targeted anti-stress, anti-fatigue hydrating ingredients. Plus botanical soothers like aloe vera and cucumber. Clinical testing shows it improves hydration as much as 40%."

I managed to use most of them and definitely after using I feel much more hydrated in eye area. Skin also looks more refreshed and less tired.

Verdict: I certainly very recommend as everyone needs a little bit of extra care for our under eyes.
