Monday Night Maintenance

It's Monday evening and I'm tired, but I am also well aware of the fact that I've neglected my skin/nails/hair etc for too long now so it's time to get my act together (but quickly - and without too much effort, because like I said, I'm tired!)

Step 1 - Skin

I whipped on my favourite face mask of the moment - The Five Minute Thermal Detox Mask by the Sanctuary (full post on it here), then donned my brothers nice big old school headphones and proceeded to shut my eyes and chill out to a bit of Bob Marley, some Rudimental, Awolnation, and Van Morrison...bit of a mixture I know!  I've just washed it off, and slathered my newly smooth skin with Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair and a good layer of my Liz Earle moisturiser and now my skin feels better than it has in a while and it's nice and clean ready for bed! 

Step 2 - Nails

I wanted to give myself a full mani and pedi this evening but I'm bloody knackered that the extent of my nail tlc has been a good massage of cuticle oil (Jessica Phenomen Oil) and a nice thick layer of hand cream will be coming my way before I drop off to sleep (not applied it now as nobody wants a sticky hand cream keyboard!)

Step 3 - Hair

I just can't let go of the Olympics so this evening I will be going to bed in my own version of the swimming cap...that's right ladies, I'm going to wrap my head in cling film before I go to sleep.  No, it's not a crazy fetish, I'm going to melt down some trusty coconut oil and coat my hair in it before wrapping it up to keep it warm - this way it can do it's magic over night and I'll be left looking like something out of a L'Oreal advert (this has never happened before but I refuse to give up!)  A full post on my beloved coconut oil swimming hat combo coming soon - bet you can't wait you lucky things! 

And that's it - minimal effort, but hopefully it's enough to keep me from the edge of looking like a deranged crazy lady!!
