I have been so insanely busy recently! I started a new job in September and I moved house at the end of October so I’m completely exhausted! I also find this colder, darker weather tires me out. The most important thing to do when things are crazy is to take some time for you and my favourite way to do that is have a pamper night!
The first step to every pamper night is to light a candle. I’ve a huge candle collection but my favourite at the moment is this beautiful Fern & Coco ‘Twinkle Twinkle’ candle. It’s scented with pink champagne and grapefruit and smells as amazing as you’re currently imagining! The soft glow from the flame of a candle really relaxes me. I then love to put on a movie to watch. I love watching DVD’s but when LoveFilm shut down I was pretty gutted I could no longer get my monthly DVD parcel. I then came across Cinema Paradiso which are exactly the same! You can rent every DVD you could imagine, you can even rent TV Series’ like Game Of Thrones or Prison Break. There’s nothing better than binge watching a tv show or watching a girlie movie while having a pamper night. A movie night wouldn’t be complete without a warm cup of tea with some Gold Bee Honey pure hemp sticks stirred in to give antioxidant, immunity-boosting, antibacterial, and digestive health benefits.
I then like to pop on a face mask. My face has been pretty conjested recently due to being so busy and not having an awful lot of time for my usual skincare routine so I’ve been trying out this Glam Glow mini exfoliating mask and it’s working wonders for my breakouts! My skin is always so dry so after exfoliating all the dry skin away I like to use something super hydrating like this recovery sheet mask from Image Skincare. I pop this on, sit back and relax for fifteen or so minutes and when I peel it off my face is soft, hydrated and glowing.
While I have my sheet mask on I like to start my usual nail care routine. I take off any polish I had on, apply a layer of my trusty OPI Nail Envy and then pick whatever colour I’m in the mood for. The gorgeous midnight blue I’ve featured is from Leighton Denny’s new Heritage collection, it’s a beautiful early winter shade that I’m going to be wearing a lot! I hate waiting for my nails to dry though and I’ve now found the perfect solution! Leighton Denny’s Miracle mist not only dries your nails much quicker, it also contains vitamin E which hydrates and softens your cuticles. Win win really?
The final step to a good old pamper night is to get ready for bed! Feather & Down products are the perfect way to relax. They advise showering before bed as the warm water relaxes your body and mind. Their shower cream is scented with Lavendar and Camomile and boy does it smell good! Lavendar is one of the most relaxing scents I know. Spray some pillow spray and rub some of the magic sleep balm on your temples and wrists, close your eyes and drift off. You’ll feel like you’ve been on holiday for a week, not just taken an hour or two for yourself! Feather & Down have a great video of sleep tips for those like me who are stressed out and exhausted!
What’s your favourite way to relax? Have you tried any of the products I’ve mentioned?
I think I must be the only person who finds that showering just before bed wakes me up! But I agree about the lavender, it’s really good for helping you to get to sleep. I also agree it’s really good to relax and take this pamper time, especially when things get busy.
Great post. Love the packaging. it’s so pretty with the deep blue and the feather. 😍
That feather and down packaging is simply gorgeous!!

The feather down products are intriguing! I bet the lavender in them makes you feel super cosy and ready for a good nights sleep.

How good does the leighton nail mist sound,im going to look into that.Waiting for my nails to dry has got to be the most annoying thing ever.I have to leave as my last step because they take so long to dry and i dont want dents and smudges in them.X
I love the look of all the product! I love a cosy night in 🙂
Ohhh we are so intune 🙂 I have just bought the Feather and Down bath soak, as I am struggling to sleep at the moment. I have tried it once so far, so jury still out but so far so good! I love the sound of the melting shower cream x
Lavender is definitely relaxing! A nice pamper and then shower before bed sounds like the perfect way to combat stress 😄
Perfect!!!!

Oh my, how nice does that shower cream sound and the packaging is beautiful! I will be trying that out for sure! x
I love some good old pampering 😊
The feather and down pillow spray and melting shower cream look sooo enchanting!

Those feather and down products sound gorgeous and definitely like something that would relax me!! I love lighting a few candies before bed to create a nice calm atmosphere and i really want to try those Spacemask things i’ve seen everywhere!

Feather and down have become one of my favourite brands at the moment because I’m absolutely loving using their products! I also think candles, a bath and a good face mask are definite essentials for a cosy pamper night! xx

Lavender is one of my favorite scents. So relaxing. Beautiful packaging!
That feather & down packaging is so beautiful!! I need to try this range x
This sounds wonderful!! I also start with candles-my Coal and Canary candles are my favourite because they are local made and soy based. I usually throw on a mask and colour something while I try to ignore the rest of the world haha- I have to keep my hands busy, and I’m not too wonderful at nail polish. I need to find the masks you use!
Ooh I love the sound of that miracle mist for your nails – I’m like you and I always get soo impatient when waiting for my nails to dry, which is probably why I hardly ever paint them xo

Wow a pamper night in sounds amazing! Some great products! We have recently moved house (staying at my mums while having works done!) and it is stressful! I have my beauty products and a book ready for when we finally move in and have my first pamper session in my new bathroom 🙂 Hope your move went well?!

I’ve never had a a proper pamper night!
Congrats on moving house! I definitely know how you feel. So much going on I need a cosy pamper session. I was gutted when lovefilm stopped so it’s great to see there is an equivalent for all my tv watching needs! I’ve never used any glam glow masks!! This one sounds perfect for my skin. xx
a pamper night in is exactly what i’d need now! i have this pillow spray but never tried it. kirsty did and love it! xx corinne
I feel like I am in dire need of a pamper after reading this post, especially when it comes to face masks! It’s been way over a year since I’ve pampered myself like the princess that I am (tehe) so now I’m dying to go to grab myself some bubble bath and face masks.
Sounds like a perfect night in 💕 I love the look of the pillow spray and magic sleep balm. I need these in my life 😌. Lovely photos, as always!

I love a good pamper night! Especially at this time of the year, it’s totally needed. I love the blue of the Feather&Down packaging. I’ve not heard of them before, but the products look so good! It’s so good to incorporate a good bit of skincare into a pamper night, especially when you’ve been busy. I find that I fully neglect the important body care stuff when there’s so much going on, and you really do feel it after a while. Great post 🙂
Gotta love a good pamper evening!
