Holidays are the perfect time to treat yourself, regardless of what you have planned. For me, I have a not quite ritual of things I do to treat myself and signal the start of a holiday and they all focus on my body! I’m not talking about giving into cravings or letting my body indulge in its natural sleep cycle for a week, I’m talking about giving it the TLC that it probably deserves more often.

• I have a bath – the bubblier the better! Last time I had a bath I tested out a Lush bath bomb…it was fun, but not quite as fun as bubbles! As a grown up (kinda) Radox is my favourite.
• I do a face mask (at least one!). I’m a fan of charcoal masks, but I have a few that I like to use from time to time to feel fancy.
• I dye my hair. This time round it’s sea green (not that much of it is!) but other colours I favour are red, green or black.
• I do my nails. This normally is just a case of picking out a colour of nail varnish from my collection, but more recently I’ve started to get into pre-decorated falsies.

• I sort out my body hair. Too much information? Probably, but it’s true. It’s not as if it’s totally neglected the rest of the time, but I just feel like I give it so much more attention. Brows – tidied. Moustache – gone. Legs and armpits – melted into oblivion.

Something about doing this just seems to let my body know that our routine (whatever that may) is away to change, and my body always responds well!
