Don't you just love spending a little more time for yourself after a long week or just an hour of getaway for yourself? Giving to others is a good thing, but we also shouldn't forget to give to ourselves. Self-love is a bliss! It all takes on what YOU like in this beauty ritual. There is no limit how long you wanted to do it, but what feels good to your body.
Just couple of hours ago, I did felt I was depleted after a long week at work and I knew I needed some time for myself -- and that means no distractions. When my husband sees me make some concoction in the kitchen, he knew I did not want to be disturbed for few minutes and just let myself be. I am happy he understands how much this means to me.
To make it a more seductive experience, you can light a scented candle or spray a little perfume and play a soft music as the background. I really like vanilla. And optional: pull a mirror to see your lovely self. Yes, I took a large mirror. But if it too much, start slow. There is no rush to this beauty ritual. Take your time.
The best part of it is slowly spreading this treat on your face and/or body. Enjoy the messiness! I mixed milk, honey and a ripe banana and slowly slather my body with this delicious treat. You can add a few drops of Frankincense or Ylang Ylang essential oil for more luxurious beauty ritual. Choose essential oils that are gentle to the skin.
One of the things I have learned, is listening to my body as I apply it with absolute care. Delicately apply and feel how the mixture glides on the skin. What do you see? Hear? Smell? You can also do breast massage. Leave it for 5-10 minutes or as long as you want, then wash it off with a warm towel and take a warm bath. Apply a generous amount of coconut oil to moisturize or your favorite lotion. Drink a glass of your favorite green smoothie afterwards or tea if you prefer. Your skin will not only feel soft and radiant, but you will also feel good doing these rituals for yourself.
Every beauty ritual is different to me and you. It still lies to what makes YOU feel good. Personalize it on what makes you happy. It is such a wonderful gift when we give to ourselves first. It replenishes us on the inside out feeling rejuvenated, beautiful and sexy.
