As much as I love getting glam, I'm a comfort girl at heart. For me one of the best feelings in the world is taking your lashes off, taking your shoes off and relaxing.
On a typical weekday if I've been at college I usually get home between 4pm and 5pm and if I know I have no plans for the rest of the day then this is when I take my makeup off. I always take my makeup off the earliest I can in a day as I like to give my skin time to breathe. To see what products I use to take my makeup off, take a look at my Skincare Routine (link here).
Next step in my winding down process is loungewear. Comfies, loungewear, scruffs, cosy clothes whatever you call them they are bomb! My favourite loungewear are tracksuits especially the Roberta ones from Miss Pap (I have the grey and the khaki styles but I am slightly obsessed so I doubt the collection stops there for me!), also Victoria's Secret tracksuits are sooo comfy too! There's something about cosy clothes that make me feel so relaxed and honestly I just live in them!
Once I've changed into some comfy clothes, stripped off my lashes, taken my face off and shoved my hair into an incredibly failed messy bun or clipped the front of my hair back, this is when I really start to relax. I'll grab a cup of tea or some green tea (always the Twinings one with lemon!) and maybe some food and I'll flick through Bloglovin, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest to catch up on what I've missed out on during the day. In the evening when I'm relaxed is when I usually reply to comments and I'll always be watching Coranation Street or Emmerdale (if not, it's Netflix!).
Downtime is important and it's important to unwind and relax and let ourselves destress after a long day. I always find that if I come home and leave my makeup on as late as possible and don't properly relax before I sleep then I feel like I don't sleep as well if I would when I do go through a routine!
Hope you enjoyed reading this post, something a little different from the usual makeup post! Let me know how you like to unwind in the comments below! See you soon!

Cool post :) Like it. I've never tried La roche posay brand , but I heard a lot of great things about them. Also as I can see it is for oily and sensitive skin, that is what I need. I hope I'll find this cream in my country.
