A Quiet Night In.
Monday, August 24, 2015
Sometimes all you need is a quiet night in. These are becoming more and more frequent for me, but they are definitely a necessity in my life. I like to start by taking off all my makeup and doing a full cleanse and tone, followed by a clay mask. I will normally leave the clay mask on for the entirety of my bath (which is usually around 2 hours). Once I'm out of the bath I will moisturise my entire body and get into my comfiest pyjamas! These are the nights I completely switch off my brain, limit my social media use and enjoy my own company. It was a brisk 4 degrees (celsius) today in Hobart and that meant I spent the entire day just waiting to get home so I could enjoy a bath and some much needed relaxation. Stress is getting the better of me at the moment. I'm not perfect and I never say I am but sometimes I let stupid, petty things get the better of me when they really shouldn't. It's hard to 100% portray who I am in real life online. I real life I have a very dry, sarcastic sense of humour, I'm not always happy, I'm not always sad, and I'm not always anxious. I wake up every morning excited to begin a new day. I'm quite a normal teenage girl who is attempting to learn to live independently, gain maturity and to live to my full potential. I'm extremely grateful for all of the opportunities I have been given in my life and I am eager to see what is going to happen in the future. I'm only 18, yet I feel a lot older. Then, other times I feel a lot younger; like it's a mistake that I've suddenly become an adult who can drive, buy alcohol and vote in the elections. I'm in the process of trying to better my life - whether that be with the people I'm around, the things I say yes to, the things I say no to. At the end of the day, I'm still the full of anxiety teenager who buys too much makeup and too many shoes. Ah well, life is short! From now on I am going to tackle the things that cause this unnecessary stress head on!!!!!

| Hot/Warm Water, a rose petal bath bomb, numerous candles and Netflix; the perfect remedy for stress. |

| Once I had spent 2 hours in the bath (and was completely wrinkled) I moved the candles to my bedroom and spent another 3 hours reading. My current read is I Take You by Eliza Kennedy; I stumbled upon this book at the airport and am totally loving it!!! Don't worry, I will definitely be doing a review very shortly. (Also - it's hard to see in this photo... but let's just appreciate my coffee coaster that says Does Wine Count as a Serving of Fruit) |
Have a good week!
