Self-Care Tip

Treat your face

Pampering isn’t just about the luxurious products getting applied, it’s also about the time you take out to relax. Even a short little at-home pamper session can be beneficial for you, it gives your mind a chance to relax while your face takes in all the benefits of a good mask.

So make yourself somewhere lovely to relax, whether it’s lighting some candles in your bedroom, running a relaxing bath or getting a cup of tea ready to sit outside in the sunshine, then head to your bathroom and give your face a good double cleanse, pop on a mask and time to retreat to your space. It only takes 15-20 minutes, but give yourself time to soak in the mask, relax the shoulders and your breathing and slow everythingggg down.

Packing Tip

Washing Bag

No-one looks forward to getting home after a holiday. Not only are you out of holiday-mode, you have to do all the laundry! Make life a little bit easier, pop into your luggage a washing bag that you can use when your away so when you get home it’s easy to sort clean from dirty clothes (cause who doesn’t overpack and have heaps of clean clothes left at the end of a trip?!?).

Our suggestion is use a durable drawstring fabric bag that can also go into the wash – don’t use a plastic bag, they get sweaty and smelly. A drawstring bag makes it easy to open and close while you are away, and at the end of the trip, just empty all your washing from the bag and chuck the laundry bag in as well for a wash ready for the next use.

Some of our suggestions: Globlite Travel Laundry Bag $10, The Beach People Cotton Laundry Bag $12,
