Me Time

A few days ago I found this post by Sinead in my Bloglovin feed and it seemed like a fun tag to do. Enjoy!

What do you watch or read during me-time?
All the girly tv shows! I can only ever watch them when the bf is not around (which he rarely is), so whenever I get the chance I watch a lot of Gossip Girl and Desperate Housewives. I also like listening to audio books: My favourite Christmas novel right now and all the Harry Potter audio books. I've been listening to them since I was about twelve, there's just something very comforting about them. If I'm in the mood for something a little more dramatic, I will read something like The Body Farm by Patricia Cornwell.

What do you wear during me-time?
Probably a huge hoodie, a top underneath, pyjama or yoga pants and fluffy socks. Basically the most comfortable outfit I can find.

What are your me-time beauty products?
No makeup, of course. I'll sometimes use a face mask and some kind of body butter or oil, if I'm feeling extra fancy. The Kiehl's Rare Earth Pore Cleansing Masque is one of my favourites and the Caudalie Divine Oil always leaves my skin feeling extra soft.

Current favourite nail polish?
I'm in love with red nail polish at the moment. I'm probably going to paint my nails some shade of red today, as my nails are in serious need of attention. My current favourites are Essie's (duh!) Bordeaux, Shearling Darling, Toggle To The Top and Summit Of Style, for a little sparkle.

What do you eat/drink during me-time?
In autumn and winter it's definitely tea and biscuits. In the warmer months I usually just drink a lot of water and eat whatever fruit is in-season.

Current favourite candle?
I'm not the biggest fan of scented candles. Most of the ones I've come across smell lovely in the jar but don't actually make my room smell any different. I did however like the Yankee Candle Indian Summer gift set I ordered a few months ago. I burned two of the five candles already (Ginger Dusk and Lake Sunset) and surprisingly actually liked the scents.

Do you ever have outdoor me-time?
This mostly depends on the weather. I get cold very easily and right now it is very cold and rainy where I live, so I like to spend my me-time inside. I love being outside in the spring, summer and autumn though.

Would you ever go see a movie alone?
I did see a movie all by myself a few months ago and I'd do it again in a second, as long as I'm not seeing a scary movie. I can barely watch those with the bf.

Favourite online shop?
I actually don't like shopping online. I feel like I'm always sending back most of the stuff I buy, because it doesn't fit right. I also don't like waiting for things to be delivered. If I can just run out to a store and buy it, I will probably do that.

Anything to add? What else do you do during me-time?
If I'm lucky enough to have my me-time take place right before I'm going out, I will take my time doing my makeup. For some reason it really relaxes me.
