My Sunday Self Care List:⁣ ⁣ >Hang Washing out

My Sunday Self Care List:⁣
⁣
>Hang Washing out to dry in the garden - I feel so good when it’s warm enough to do that.⁣
>Make my weeks realistic to-do list so I can start tomorrow knowing what I need/want to accomplish.⁣
>FaceTime with a friend for some girl time (living in a tiny house with all boys is TOUGH)⁣
>Light one of my favourite candles ⁣
>Play Animal Crossing as much as I want without feeling guilty⁣
>Eat as much chocolate as I want to with no remorse because it’s nearly Easter⁣
>Indulge in a game of “how much can I add to my shopping basket” before closing the browser. (It’s imaginary retail therapy!)⁣
⁣
...it’s the simple things in life? There’s n pressure to achieve big things right now, so what’s on your Sunday self care list?⁣

That golden hour glow though 👌🏻 So many of you asked for my thoughts on this. And I have a LOT of thoughts on the new @revolutionpro CC Perfecting Foundation and I can’t wait to bring you all a full review and a sneaky IGTV. I think you’re going to be really surprised about how well this one performs - I’m a CC snob and it’s blown me away... IT’S even better than THAT other one for me with oily skin...see what I did there?! 😏⁣

What’s on your beauty table right now? Have you purchased anything new during the lockdown as a treat? I’m intrigued to know what you’re all loving right now?⁣

A little bit of lipstick goes a long way...⁣
⁣
Right now I’m trying to dress as normal, get ready in the mornings and wear make up/do my hair etc because if I stop doing it everyday I may as well welcome the troll look for life. Plus getting ready as normal, putting some lipstick on and wearing something nice makes me feel a million times better...That’s not to say that I’m not in my pjs or joggers by dinner time (I am) but I’m trying to start the day with some normality and that for me means allllllthe lipstick.⁣
⁣
Are you in the normal dress/make up group or the loungewear/chilled vibe group right now? 🤔

Expectation vs Reality...⁣
⁣
Jokes. This is all you’re getting because the reality is that I’m in my dressing gown, with mismatched pjs and troll hair right now - and no-one wants to see that on the gram 😂⁣
⁣
Instead please imagine that I spend all lockdown days looking like this 😇 Thank you. ⁣

“I’m not afraid of storms for I’m leaning ho

“I’m not afraid of storms for I’m leaning how to sail my ship” Louise May Alcott⁣⁣
⁣⁣
To all the mamas/aunties/nanas/role models out there today I salute you. Balancing the needs of a household and a family is the toughest job in the world anyway without social confinement. Remember it’s okay to not be the Pinterest mum with weeks of creative tasks planned out, it’s okay to be stressed at suddenly being housebound with your entire family and do NOT feel guilty when you crave 2 minutes of peace away from anyone and just can’t get it. (These are all me by the way...) This is a storm we’re all navigating and there’s no right or wrong way to steer your ship (other than the government guidelines obvs 😂) So if your kids super healthy diet looks a bit more beige for a while - that’s okay. If they have more screen time in the coming months than they’ve had collectively in their whole lives - that’s okay. If you weep silently in the bathroom for 5 minutes because it’s all just too much - that’s okay. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
None of us know what we’re doing but as long as we’re doing our best, trying to make the best of the most difficult situation we’ve faced as a nation in our lifetimes, then that’s good enough. Pat yourselves on the back mamas. We got this. (And even when we don’t, our kids still think we do, so that’s okay.) ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Happy Mother’s Day all. ✨⁣⁣

It’s okay to be scared/anxious/apprehensive right now. I think we all are.⁣
⁣
I can’t believe we’re facing something like this, it feels so surreal to be watching this unfold - tell me I’m not the only one who feels like that?! It’s kind of like the plot of a film is unfolding across the whole world.⁣
⁣
I’m not going to preach, or tell anyone what they should do or how they should manage their families right now or in the coming weeks - but I will say this: we have a responsibility to more than the people in our circle. By that I mean: the elderly neighbours, those already fighting life changing illnesses (that we may not even know anything about) and the people we’d never usually consider. Going out to anything other than an absolutely necessary place is putting others in danger. You might be fine - you probably will be. But what if you were to catch #covid19 and pass it to someone who became REALLY ill, someone who could die from it? Could you live with knowing that? I know I couldn’t. It could be as simple as someone you pass on the street, you sat behind on the bus... could you live with that? Ask yourself that when deciding if you really need to go out or do something... While everyone’s version of “necessary” is subjective, we all need to take some responsibility on a moral level to slow the spread of this virus.⁣
⁣
Other things you can do to help:⁣
>Wash your hands frequently with simple soap and water (see my stories)⁣
>Support small businesses/order online - this period will sadly be the toughest time many small businesses have ever faced⁣
>Don’t over shop. Be prepared, but don’t over stock.⁣
>Check if your elderly neighbours need anything during the coming weeks, they’ll need more support than ever ⁣
>Text and check in on friends with mental health problems as now is an incredibly triggering but also lonely time. A kind word goes a long way⁣
>Support ads on Instagram! This is the lifeline keeping people like me in work. We don’t get sick pay as freelancers and right now it’s tough!⁣
>Don’t forget to smile. A smile to a stranger or a friend is the universal way of spreading joy - something so simple and needed right now.⁣

Ad | The most common type of CBD based products ri

Ad | The most common type of CBD based products right now seems to be the extracts that you put under your tongue each day as part of your normal wellness routine. It was actually the first CDB product type I tried initially last year and I’ve now tested several brands in search of the best one for me. ⁣
⁣
I’m currently trialing the @leef_organics Thrival CBD Extract from @nabinoofficial and we’re in week 3 now - which is a good time to review how it’s working. Like anything, it’s always a case of allowing your body to adjust for a few weeks so you can see how you feel with it. I’ve personally noticed a huge increase in energy levels - to the point where the serial napper in me seems like a distant memory! I also find I’m able to concentrate on my work better, for longer and I just feel mentally charged all day - all from 2 drops under the tongue each morning. While everyone seems to have different experiences of CBD oil type products, the increase in my energy both physically and mentally has always been the biggest draw for me. ⁣
⁣
Have you guys tried any CBD based oils yet?⁣

You can use code CHLOE15 for 15% off your first order at @nabinoofficial who stock everything and anything CBD related (over 18’s only!)

All the cosy vibes in one corner of the house...this is my plan for tonight. Netflix, candles, low lighting, chill time...I’ve been smashing my to-do list this week but I’ve also been trying to take the evenings off which is really hard for me. So I’m excited for another night of me time!⁣
⁣
Anyone else doing the same this evening? ⁣
