Treating yourself on Valentines day.

As someone who is forever alone single, Valentines day is not my favourite time of the year.  So instead of some really nice post about my imaginary boyfriend or perfect "date night" makeup, this is about how to treat the most important person to me this Valentines - ME.  While everyone is making googly eyes over a plate of spaghetti (apparently romance to me is Lady and the Tramp), I shall be treating myself to a night of pampering so I just though I would share what this involves   Most of the time I either can't be bothered or don't have the time to take every step I want to so this is what I do when I get the chance.

First it's about getting the perfect bath.  I'll pop in a Lush bath bomb (probably the Comforter) since there's nothing better than a gorgeous smelling bath except a gorgeous smelling, PINK bath!  Then while I'm in the bath, I'll exfoliate.  For my body I use a Mango Sugar Scrub from Boots Natural Collection which is one of the nicest smelling products I've ever used. 

 Then for my face, I use the Soap and Glory Flake Away exfoliater. After that I put a face mask on.  Recently I've been loving the Superdrug clay masks which I reviewed here but I got a couple from H&M a couple of weeks ago that I want to try.

After I've got out, I love this Gok Wan body butter.  This one is the "delux gold" and leaves a slight gold glitter on your skin which some people will hate but I love it!  Who doesn't want to sparkle?  Once this is done. I put of my favourite jammies, which right now are a pair of christmas ones, and threw my hair up I'll set about my nails.  I don't take the best care of them so I'll give them a good clean with nail polish remover then get my wee nail kit out.  Give them a file and buff then paint them properly, taking my time.  Since it's Valentines day, I'll use the Essie We're in it Together which is a really nice pale pink with glitter.

Then before settling down to watch a film, most likely Harry Potter, I'll apply a bit of oil for dry skin and some of the Soap and Glory "Wish Upon a Jar" moisturiser.

So that's really what I like to do when I'm having a wee pamper night, which really isn't all that much but it makes me happy.  

What is your essentials when your treating yourself?
