Whenever someone talks about holidays, they talk about getting on a plane and heading to the far-flung corners of the world. The thing is, you can have just as happy a time when you get behind the wheel of your car and head somewhere on an adventure. There are so many reasons to go on a road trip over getting on a plane, but the biggest reasons always revolve around money and time. Not everyone has the spare time to recover from world travel. It takes hours to get from one end of the world to another, and it takes time to recover, too.

So, if you want to make life easy when it comes to going on a break, a road trip is the best way forward. Sure, there are things such as van and car insurance to consider, but One Sure offers competitive rates and you can check many different prices to see which will work for you. A road trip is going to be the best adventure that you go on this year, and we have six reasons you should choose wheels over wings this time!

It’s cheaper than flying, and that’s the truth! Even with the cost of insurance and petrol, you will still spend less money on a road trip than you would a long-distance flight. This is especially true if you are travelling as a large family. The price of multiple airline tickets really does add up when you are buying more than one seat, and you don't get as many chances to stop and explore!

You get to choose your music. Sure, you can wear headphones on a plane and enjoy your trip, but your music on road trips is the stuff of memories. At the end of the trip, you’ll be able to associate every memory with a brand new song, and it’s so exciting to have the memory hit you when you are doing something else.

 

There is so much to see. When you are on the road, you are able to stop as many times as you like, go where you want, view attractions and see so many new things. Roadside attractions are far more interesting when you are actually on the road. All you can see out of the plane window is endless sky and clouds. Sure, it’s pretty, but it’s not as fun.

You can save money when you are on the road. Flying adds costs for baggage and souvenirs, and airports are expensive places to be. When you are on the road, you can buy trinkets at local shops for less. You can pack as you like and not worry about baggage fees, too.

When you are on the road, you can be as flexible as you want. If you want to add another night to a hostel or pitch a tent, you can. If you want to stop or detour from your original plan, you can. No one can stop you from being as lazy or as efficient as you like on the road, and it offers so much more flexibility when you get bored!

There are no security lines on the road - do we need to say more?

Your skin is the largest organ in your body, but so few people take proper care of it. Sure, your skin will probably get by of its own accord without you facing too many problems. But a proper skincare routine is essential to keep your skin in the best health it can be - particularly the skin in sensitive areas like your face, chest and upper back. Here are a few suggestions that can help you to maintain your skin as best you can!

Stay Hydrated

Let’s start with a step that doesn’t require any specialist products (so is affordable) and that will benefit absolutely everyone. For good skin, you need to make sure that you’re hydrated. Not only is this a good health tip for your overall well being (water helps with many of your body’s vital functions), but being sufficiently hydrated can prevent dry skin and keep your skin plump and fresh. It’s generally recommended that the average adult drinks eight glasses of water a day. This will go towards combating dullness, tightness, flakiness, and dryness. Being hydrated also helps your skin to filter out any impurities, consequently reducing issues such as spots. So, always keep a refillable bottle of water on you and eat more hydrating foods like cucumber, celery, melon, berries and more!

Develop a Skin Care Routine

Everyone should have a skincare routine. It doesn’t necessarily have to be anything elaborate. Instead, you simply need to ensure that you have a face wash and a moisturiser that suit your skin type and can keep your face clean and moisturised. You can find plenty of options at Colorscience. If you’re dedicated to maintaining the best skin possible, you can also get toners, night creams, face masks and more. You may also want to look into skincare products for the body, hands and feet. It only takes a few more minutes to incorporate these into your daily routine, but it will make all the difference!

Use SPF

SPF stands for “sun protection factor” and it really is important that you use products containing SPF on your skin on a day to day basis. Generally, people will only use sunscreen when they head away on holiday. But the sun isn’t just a threat when you head to places that are hot and sunny. You’re exposed to UV rays every time you go outdoors, even on overcast days, and they can wreak havoc with the health and appearance of your skin. UV exposure can increase your risk of developing serious conditions, such as cancer, and can also increase the ageing process of your skin. So, use lotions, face creams and lip balms that contain a high SPF!

These are just a few suggestions that can help you to take the best care of your skin possible! They really will make all the difference, so we recommend you get started as soon as you can in order to start seeing the benefits.

Your body is doing so much more for you than you will ever realize. It scours through whatever you put in it, whether good or bad and keeps going against all the odds. We work ourselves to the point of exhaustion at times, and our bodies keep up with no conscious help at all. Bearing that in mind, we should treat them with massive amounts of respect, marvelling at their wonders and doing things to make it easier for them to do their jobs, right?

We should, but we don't.

Few of us are giving our bodies the love they deserve. Worse than that, we often fail to listen to whatever they have to say. Not being receptive to signs that your body sends you could have serious consequences. Indeed, most of the time, your organs, and things like your hair, skin, and nails can take care of themselves. However, they may need a little help from you every now and again. Not doing this could lead to functional impairment and serious illness. You should do everything that you can to keep your body as healthy as it can be.

So, what signs are you supposed to keep an eye out for? There are quite a few things your body might try to tell you. Let us start with the most important-the need for the right nutrition. To make your body work at its best, you need a healthy diet. Nutrients in food are essential in the healthy functioning of your body. If your body does not get what it wants, it is going to have a hard time trying to keep up. To give it a helping hand, make sure you are eating a balanced diet that gives you plenty of nutrition. Do some research regarding what you need for optimum health.



It's also important to listen to warning signs. If you are not in the best state of health, your body will give you various symptoms to let you know, from nail changes to rashes and lumps - this blog has more tips. Check your body regularly for any signs of change, and if you see anything, it's important to find out what it means. Of course, for some of the minor things, rather than head to the doctor, you might want to go and speak to a pharmacist or download an app to give you ideas. However, if you are not sure, professional medical advice is always the best option. Knowing about the problem is not always enough, either - you need to take action to make it better and ensure that it does not occur again.

Once you start paying attention to your body, you will realise that it can work with you instead of against you. As a team, you are sure to function better. Give your body what it wants, and it will reward you by making you feel great!

These days, plus-sized women are finally being recognised by clothing manufacturers. In the not-so-distant past, there were very few plus-size options. Today, it is easier than ever to show off your unique fashion sense. Clothing designers lavish plus-sized women with clothing that helps them look and feel beautiful.

Here are 5 improvements that many designers strive for.

Consistency is Key

It seems that in the world of plus-size clothing, consistency in sizing is not a massive concern for manufacturers. However, it is a big concern for shoppers. Size variations from one brand to another makes shopping frustrating. A woman may be a 16 in one brand of jeans and an 18 or even 20 in another. If manufacturers could work out standard sizing, shoppers would be thrilled.

Such sizing variations can significantly hurt online stores not catering for this market properly. One reason why Jacamo as one example, allows shoppers to tailor online. Fashion editors have pushed out their recommendations on shops for plus-size shoppers. Navabi stock many plus size brands and curate vast collections. This is the consistency, more brands should aim for.

The industry is striving for more affordable, trend-led fashion choices in this category covering casual staples that include jeans and nightwear. 

Plus Size Fashion for All

Don't concentrate on clothing for one age group. Keep the following in mind;

● Juniors, young adults, and older consumers all want to look great.
● It would help if you did not assume that plus-sized people do not want to enjoy all of the trendy clothing that comes out each season.
● Many manufacturers create clothing for the young and the old, leaving out a considerable population.

Consider designing clothing for every age group.

Shopping Should Be Easy

Whether you are a boutique, department store, or online shop, make the plus-size section easy to locate. Shopping should be convenient and fun, no matter what size you take.

Fashion and Function

Women of all sizes want clothing that looks good, and that is functional.

● Add pockets, so they do not always have to carry a purse. Keep in mind that fake pockets are useless. Broad and deep pockets that you can use are what shoppers want.
● Use fasteners that are easy to use.
● Choose fabrics that are easy to care for and comfortable.

Everyone Loves Accessories

Just as clothing is not one size fits all, neither are accessories. Plus-size women want accessories that fit their body type. Some designers seem so focused on small, dainty items that they forget that many buyers want and need something a bit larger such as for plus size going out dresses. Concentrate on bracelets with a large circumference, bigger rings, long necklaces, and even bigger shoes. Your plus-size clients will thank you.

Clothing manufacturers have come a long way when it comes to plus-sized fashion, but do not stop there. Keep doing more to make shopping for these sizes more comfortable and more pleasant. Doing so means more money for you and your company.

If you are planning to go somewhere for a brief holiday at home in the UK after lockdown is lifted, then where better than the capitol? London has so much to offer, and whether or not you have been there before you can be sure that there is plenty to do and see every single time you go. If you are keen to try and have the perfect weekend getaway in London, there are some specific things that you will certainly want to bear in mind. In this article, we are going to take a look at some of these things which you might want to consider so that you can ensure that you are going to have a great time in London no matter what.

Staying In Style

It’s always important to choose a good accommodation, as that is going to inform how much of a good time you have in a big way. You have so many options when you are staying in London, so you can really make it fit whatever your budget is and whatever kind of style you want to go for. If you are keen to stay somewhere particularly stylish you could think about looking for fancy hotels in Shepherds Bush or similar areas. Or you might prefer to look into some humble B&Bs, which you can find all around the city no matter which part of London you might be staying in. Wherever you end up staying, be sure you are close to the sights you want to see.

Eating Out

There are few places in the world which are quite as good as London for eating out, so if you want to do that you should absolutely make the most of it. This is, after all, a fantastic way to spend your time, and it’s an important part of going anywhere for a trip, even if it is just a weekend at home in the UK like this. No matter what kind of cuisine you might be keen on, you will be sure to find it in London somewhere. That could be Indian, Italian, Chinese or of course British food, and even if you just want to eat traditional meals at a pub you are going to find that this is a great part of enjoying the London experience. No matter what else you do, make sure to take in some of London’s finest eateries.

Seeing The Sights

It’s a funny thing about the capital of where your live - you don’t always get to see the most famous sights, for the simple fact that you know they will always be there to see. But if you never see them, then you might actually miss out on them altogether. So why not take this next trip to go and see the famous sights of London, while you can? You might find that it’s even more enjoyable than you had assumed, and it can make it a weekend to remember.

It is crucial for business owners and their employees to be more aware of their behaviour at work and how they are treating the environment. Many of us are guilty of being quite wasteful at times, particularly at our place of work when we don’t have to pay the bills. Being more efficient with the equipment and supplies at work is not only better for the environment, but it will also help our employer save money, which can then be invested into other areas of the business, such as training and development for staff, pay rises and other bonuses. It can be difficult to make such changes initially, but if you’re a little more mindful of your behaviour, being kinder to the environment will start to come naturally to you. Read on for a few tips.

 
Start by ensuring you switch off any equipment at the end of each day. Lots of us try to save time in the morning by leaving our computers on overnight and only switching off the monitor, but this is not doing the electric bills any favours, or the environment. You should also remember to switch the overhead lights off at the end of each day when you’re the last one out and ditch them altogether if there’s enough natural light.

The printer is another big piece of office equipment that we often forget to switch off. In fact, when it comes to printing paper and ink is wasted each and every day and it’s not cheap to replace. Before printing, consider whether you can keep it digital and send the document via email instead. You could also suggest to your manager that the company invests in managed print service to help reduce waste.

 

Try and abandon post-it notes and even notepads, as it would be far more economical to just type up your notes or set reminders on your computer or smartphone. If there’s a coffee or water machine at work, consider bringing in your own cup/mug that you can reuse, rather than using the paper or plastic cups provided. The trick is to become more conscious of everything you do at work and decide whether nor not there’s a more eco-friendly option.

These minor changes might not seem like much but taking baby steps to become a greener company is a great way to save money. What’s more, being able to say that you’re an environmentally friendly company might even attract positive attention from potential customers.

As a homeowner, protecting your property against any kind of damage should be a key priority. Lots of us are guilty of shrugging things off as a minor inconvenience, but if you have a crack or a leak you should not ignore it. Brushing it under the carpet may lead to more severe problems, such as damp, mould and even some severe structural damage. 

 

On occasion, cracks and leaks are the result of movement of your building’s foundations. The trick is to spot the signs early so you can stop the cracks in their tracks. This will save you a lot of time and money going forward. Here are some of the things you should look out for:

· Are your doors jamming or refusing to stay closed?

· Are your windows sticking?

· Does your patio or driveway have any cracks?

· Does your ceiling leak after rainfall?

The foundations of your buildings might move for a number of reasons, which lead to the above issues. It’s usually to do with how much moisture is in the surrounding soil. For instance, if the soil becomes too dry, it will shrink and the foundations will shift into the newfound space. Alternatively, if it is too moist, the soil will expand and put too much pressure on the walls. With this in mind, you will need to make sure to use sprinklers on your property during hotter months so that the soil doesn’t dry up and install a drainage system so that water doesn’t pool after heavy rainfall. 

 

It’s also wise not to plant shrubs and trees to close to your property, as they will soak up any moisture in the ground. What’s more, when the trees become large, their roots might also wreak havoc underground.

Bear in mind that it isn’t just issues with the foundations of your home that can result in cracks and leaks; the roof can also cause issues. Make sure to inspect it every now and again, checking for broken or missing shingles. If you notice any, be sure to replace or repair as soon as you can.

Traditional wedding registries used to be about getting new items for your home life such as blenders and china but nowadays things have changed. You can pretty much ask for anything these days but one of the biggest rises is honeymoon registries. This lets you ask your friends and families help to fund your dream honeymoon and today I'm going to be rounding up the 4 best honeymoon registry sites so you don't have to!  

 

First up we have Travelers Joy. They are one of the oldest honeymoon registry sites as they have been around since 2004. They make it really easy to set up your honeymoon fund and they have so many gift options available, just about anything you can think of. All gift redemptions are free so one less thing to worry about. If you are struggling to think of where you want to go or what you want to do you can view real registries by other couples to help give you some inspiration. They also offer honeymoon destination guides which may also help you decide the best place for you both. 

 

Zola offers a wide range of gifts and they have lots of curated lists to help you pick what you are looking for. They are one of the best registry sites for the more traditional physical gifts but they still offer lots of honeymoon options. They have a cash fund option so that your guests can contribute as little or as much as they want to help you pay for certain aspects of your honeymoon too. 

 

For the third option, we have Wanderable. Wanderable is a honeymoon exclusive registry so its as simple as picking your destination and then a curated list of experiences for that specific place will be available to choose from. They offer beautiful and stylish designs for your registry pages so you can really tell your story as a couple. They have no upgrade fees and there is also free gift redemption like Travelers Joy.

Last but certainly not least we have Honeyfund. Honeyfund is similar to traditional crowdfunding sites in the sense that you are raising money towards your goal but it's just wedding focused.    Honeyfund can be used to raise any type of cash gifts such as money towards your wedding, your honeymoon, down payments on your house or even charity donations! They also featured on an episode of Shark Tank. 

In conclusion; Make sure you check out each of these 4 websites to find what is the best option for YOU. Only you will know exactly what you are looking for in terms of a honeymoon registry but hopefully, I have helped you with that decision.

We all have to make decisions in life. Decision making is what steers our lives in the right direction and takes us along a path that suits us and keeps us as happy as we can be. Now, some decisions are harder than others. Some will take much longer to implement and feel the benefits of. But all in all, it’s important that you consistently make the right decisions in order for us to feel as happy and content as we can. The good news is that there are various things you can do to help yourself along the way. Here are just a few pieces of advice that can help to guide you in the right direction!

 

Take Things Slowly

There’s really no need to rush when it comes to most things in life. We may feel like things are propelling forward at a really fast rate, as many other peoples’ lives change quickly in front of our eyes. We look at people we vaguely know jumping from one big life step to another - moving in with partners, getting married, having kids, buying their own houses… the list goes on. But it’s important to remember that a lot of what’s posted on social media is posted through a rose coloured filter and you don’t see the negative aspects of these people’s lives. Most of us go through hardships, dips, lower times and other problems - we’re just more likely to keep these moments of our lives more private. So, don’t feel rushed because others’ lives seem to be progressing quickly. Five people on social media consistently posting big life steps may make you feel that “everyone’s moving forward” and leaving you behind, but really, the majority of people you know are probably at a similar stage to you and just keeping quieter about it. Take your time when it comes to anything major. Don’t feel pressured. Things will happen as they’re supposed to and you can’t rush them! If things come up that you need time to mull over, take the time to mull over them!

 

Prioritise Yourself

Unless you have dependents, such as children or pets, you should prioritise yourself and your own wants and needs when making your big life decisions. Sure, this may sound selfish at the outset. But when it comes down to it, this is your life and you need to live it in the way that you feel is best. Way too many of us allow our lives to revolve around others and their wants and needs. This can particularly cause problems down the line when you look back on years and feel a sense of loss or bitterness on having missed out on the things you wish you’d had a chance to do. So, put yourself at the top of your priorities!

 

Change Things That Bring You Down

If there’s something bothering you in your life, you can generally change it. This can go for anything. If you’re in a relationship that leaves you feeling drained, down or lacking in confidence, you can always leave and walk away from it. If your nose really bothers you and you simply can’t grow to love it, you can consider non surgical nose jobs with a trained and qualified professional. If you hate your job, you can start searching for a new one and leave. You very rarely have to stay in a situation that is making you unhappy. If you identify that something is regularly bringing you down, simply work to change it. Leave. Move on. Whatever it takes!

 

Get Some Outside Perspective

Sometimes, it’s easy to get so drawn up in your own situations that it’s difficult to look at them with a neutral outlook. Sometimes, you can really benefit from an outside perspective that can look at the basics of a situation without as much emotional bias as you may be putting in. So, seek this advice. You don’t necessarily have to take it. But it’s good to get a few different perspectives on any situation you’re in. This is particularly important if you’re dealing with something big and significant. For example, friends and family members’ advice can be useful in some situations, but in others, you may need to seek a lawyer’s advice or a counsellor or therapist’s advice on certain serious life situations. Their professional insight into areas of knowledge you may not be all too familiar with can help you to come to the best outcome possible. You can also reach out to helplines or support groups if you’re dealing with issues that you might not want to open up to your friends and family about. No matter what situation you’re dealing with, there’s some sort of support out there - you’re never alone.

 

Remember You Can Change Your Mind

Generally speaking, you can change your mind when it comes to life changes. You’re not always 100% tied into whatever you settle on. This goes for so many scenarios. If you take a job and turn out to hate it, you can find another one. If you head to university and realise you’ve not chosen the right course for you, you can switch. If you get married and realise they’re maybe not the ideal match down the line, you can get divorced. There’s always a way to change your circumstances and you never have to do anything or stay in a scenario you’ve ended up in. So, don’t place too much stress or pressure on yourself.

These are just a few different things you might want to take into consideration when making any life decisions. Hopefully, some of the advice can come in useful for you at some point or another. Perhaps the most important thing to do is to take things at your own pace and to go easy on yourself!

The skin covers the entire body but is not the same everywhere. Understanding the differences between facial skin and the skin of the rest of the body can help you to treat it appropriately.
 

Key Differences

Skin varies by thickness, with the thinnest areas being the most fragile. Facial skin is much thinner than other parts of the body. The thinnest part of the face is the skin on the eyelids.

The skin around the eyes, in general, is very thin, which means it needs extra care. The skin’s outer layer or epidermis usually has about 1mm of thickness, while it is considerably less than that at 0.1mm for the eyelids.

 

The skin under the eyes and other parts of the face is also more delicate than other parts of the body. It is also more prone to wrinkles.

Given the sensitive nature of the facial skin, it is highly sensitive. However, it is also most likely to be in contact with the sun, which explains why it is susceptible to harm from UVA and UVB rays.

 

 

Types of Facial Skin

There are also various facial skin types. There is normal, oily, dry, and combination. Interestingly, your skin type can change over time.

The normal skin type has little to no imperfections and no sensitivity, while dry skin has a dull complexion, red patches, and less elasticity.

As for combination skin, it can be oily in some places and dry or normal in others; the pores look bigger than normal and skin is shiny. Finally, dry skin has many visible lines, as well as red patches and a rough complexion.

Depending on the type of facial skin you have, how you wash and caring for it will differ.

 

 

Best Care for Your Facial Skin

The above-noted differences in the skin will help to determine what products you use for your face, which won’t be the same as for the rest of the body. Given the fragile nature of facial skin, using a body wash on it would be too harsh for it and could cause irritation.

Also, pay attention to facial skin conditions to react as quickly as possible to them. That way you can maintain balanced, healthy skin. You can find out more at Zo Skin Health about skincare solutions to maintain healthy skin at any age.

Finding the right moisturizer for your skin type is essential. Avoid putting fragrant lotion on the face as it is generally more sensitive than the rest of the body.

Finally, creating a facial skin care routine based on your skin type and adhering to it morning and evening can minimize skin issues, such as dryness and acne.

 

 

Final Words on Facial Skin

By now it is clear that facial skin is different from the skin on other parts of the body. Selecting products that fit your skin’s sensitivity and type can keep your skin looking and feeling its best.

No matter what skin type you have, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and wear sunscreen to protect against harsh damage from the sun.

I'm back again with another 4 dresses from Femme Luxe Finery. At the moment we can't go out anywhere in these dresses (unless you want to dress up to go to the supermarket or for a walk if that's your thing!) so hopefully, this post will give you some ideas for ways to dress up once this whole thing is over and night outs are a go again. 

 Red Satin Ruched Side Slip Mini Dress - Maeve

How gorgeous is this red satin dress? I'm in love with it and it's colour. It's such a stand out piece. It features a ruched side which can be tightened or loosened depending on how you want it and a dropped neck to give it another lovely feature. I'd say size down for this dress as it is quite baggy around the waist area. I've seen a lot of satin dresses on Instagram and many times I have seen them layered so I thought I'd try layering it two different ways. 

 The first way I tried was with this roll neck black long-sleeved jumper mixed with my silver and black western belt. This way works really well in Autumn/Winter when it is a bit colder and could be paired with black tights for extra warmth. I really love the way the black and red looks together and I got great comments when I wore this out last time! The second layered look features a white t-shirt.  I don't like this way as much but a lot of people seem to wear satin dresses this way and I still think it works really well. The look would work better in Summer on a warmer day. I used the same belt as before as I think it just looks fab with the dress whatever way it's worn. 

Let me know in the comments which way you prefer - black long-sleeved or white short-sleeved?

Pink Satin Puff Sleeve Square Neck Mini Dress - Juliane

The second dress is another satin dress. This time in the form of this beautiful neon pink colour. It features puff sleeves (which if you know me, you know I have an obsession with), a square neckline and again is a mini dress. The sleeves can be worn off-shoulder or on and as you can see I prefer them on. This dress also comes in green and black if bright pink isn't your colour. I again paired it with my western belt but I also thought I'd try it with my diamante belt too for a more glam look. I really don't know which way I prefer so you will have to let me know in the comments below which way you prefer yourself. 

White Heart Print Tie Front Ruffle Hem Mini Dress - Lucien 

The third dress is this mega cute heart print dress. I feel this one could be worn as a summer day dress as it's such a pretty piece. It features this lovely black and white heart print with a layered ruffle skirt and a tie on the chest. It is a strappy piece and I feel it would also look really cute layered with a white tee like the first dress. I can't wait to wear this in summer! 

Pink Mesh Floral Sleeve Bodycon Mini Dress - Kellen

The last and final dress is this puff sleeve dress in this lovely light pink colour. It features gorgeous floral embroidery on the sleeves and has a high neck. This is such a stunning piece and it can be worn in numerous ways. One of the times I wore it I used it as a top and paired it with my snake print faux leather skirt and I had some lovely comments. 

So which of these 4 dresses is your favourite? Let me know in the comments below and while you are here why not check out more of my fashion-related posts?

To start with, you may find that you want to book in for a series of facials. While this may not be possible in the immediate future, it will be one day. So why not look into the expert facialists in your area and the kind of skin treatments that you’d love to do and make a decision. Because looking after your skin properly will mean that you get a glow and feel fantastic for it.

Microblading

Maybe you love the idea of microblading? If you want to have gorgeous brows that stay in place at all times, then microblading is for you. They allow you to have perfect looking, shapes and pigmented brows. This saves you time every single day from having to draw them on. It can also be such a confidence boost and make you feel more put together when you’re not wearing makeup – even if you’re on holiday!

Enhancements

Or maybe what you really want to do is boost the way that you look? It’s okay if you have always wanted to make a few enhancements to your appearance, many of us do. Whether it’s smoothing out lines with botox, adding some lip filler, or even opting for a facelift, do your research now. It’s a good idea to find a doctor you like and enquire about costs so you can decide if and when you’d like to do it.

Hair Makeover

Sometimes, what you really want is a hair makeover. If you don’t feel completely happy with your hair right now, then it’s nice to be able to get a whole new look. It could be that you want to colour your hair or get longer hair and you can do that if you want. Now could be the time to save up and plan what you want to do in the future.

Spa Day

Finally, it may be that you love the idea of being able to pamper yourself. And one day, you should be able to book yourself into a wonderful spa hotel to get the kind of treatments that you want too. But, until then, you can definitely recreate the experience at home. Maybe you love the idea of running a bath and relaxing with a mask on or exfoliating and doing a manicure? Either way, it’ll definitely boost your mood.
