My Autumnal Sunday Routine

Hi, Beauties!

I just want to, first of all, apologise for my absence on my blog. I recently started my new job and I haven't had a minute to myself, so I am so so sorry! However, as I've been so busy, it got me thinking about how much I now appreciate my weekends. So, I thought it'd be nice to just dedicate a post to my Autumnal Sunday routine that involves a lot of pampering and relaxation (Total Bliss).

I don't tend to have a lie-in on a Sunday as my body clock has me wide awake no later than 8:30 am, but I will spend a good 30 minutes scrolling through Instagram before I even consider leaving the comfort of my own bed (you all know what I mean). Once I've decided to roll out of my bed, I usually start off the day by having a nice relaxed breakfast, still in my PJs of course! I'll then tend to do some chores such as making my bed and a spot of cleaning - just to get them out of the way. I will then most undoubtedly be online shopping or watching Netflix until the early evening (*Insert monkey covering his eyes emoji*).

In terms of pampering, I'm obsessed with having a nice relaxing bath, especially when it's cold and windy outside. of course, no bath is complete without a Lush bath bomb to compliment it. Today's selection is 'The Experimenter' because of its incredible vanilla fragrance and the pretty colours it makes (Insta gold!). I also love to give my skin a pick-me-up after a long week. I've become completely obsessed with the Garnier Moisture Bomb Lavender Tissue Mask. It helps to rehydrate and rejuvenate fatigued skin and infused with lavender essential oil, it's perfect for a relaxing Sunday evening before a good nights rest. I also love to give my body a good moisturise in Autumn as the cold is the worst culprit for removing moisture from your skin, making it feel dry and in some cases cracked. I don't know about you guys but my hands are always affected the most. So, I try to moisturise them as often as I can. If you guys are looking for a new hand product, I highly recommend the Oh K! Oh K! Cherry Blossom Handcream. Not only does it come in the most adorable packaging I have ever seen in my life (which is probably 99% of the reason why I purchased in the first place), but the cherry blossom fragrance makes it heavenly to apply every evening. It makes me feel so relaxed and my hands immediately feel smoother.

Just a last quick mention, I love to reflect on the past week and plan for the future one on a Sunday by writing in my Happiness Planner (The 52-Week Journal). It gives me a sense of achievement each week and allows me to see how far I've come from the start of the year. It also lets you rate your week out of 25 by giving a scale of 1-5 on how happy, healthy and productive you have been. If you're an obsessive planner like me, I highly recommend this as a gift for yourself or for someone you know for Christmas this year.

I hope you guys enjoyed reading this post. Wha's your idea of a perfect Sunday? Let me know in the comments below.

Until next time hunnies,

Emma xoxo
