Spa-Day Sundays!

Seriously, this has become a weekly tradition for me. I seriously am in love. Like the girl I am, I have activities that are important to my skin care that I do once or twice a week. So instead of always having to do something, I created Spa Sundays where I get it all done. Basically, on Sundays, I pamper myself like a princess.

Something I almost always do (unless I don't need to...which is unlikely) is clean my room. I like to pump 90's beats and old-school Britney Spears songs and dance and clean my room/apartment. Depends on how much time I have, but sometimes I do the whole apartment as well. I use Songza.com to choose playlists and pump ma cleanin' beat! I also always make sure to burn a candle to make my room smell nice. My current favourite is Market Peach from BBW. It smells like how fuzzy peaches taste.

Once I am done my dance/cleaning party, I start on the rest of my spa sunday. I cleanse my face as usual with oatmeal in the morning. Though the oatmeal does provide a small amount of exfoliation, it is pretty gentle and isn't quite as powerful as one you wouldn't use everyday. So I use Body Shop's Vitamin C Microdermabrasion Scrub.

Mint Julep Mask

It has super fine granuals in it and really takes off the dead layer on your skin. After I have cleansed and scrubbed my skin, I apply whatever mask I am vibing that day. I was feeling the Mint Julep mask because I was very lazy with my makeup removal this week so I feel like my pores needed a good thorough vacuuming. So I applied that to my face and finish cleaning my room (vacuuming, dusting, bleaching surfaces, the whole nine yards!) and by the time I'm done it's hardened and ready to come off (PS: I leave it on for 30 minutes or so. No shorter.)

Then I apply a hair mask (whichever you choose, I like a mix of coconut, olive and sweet almond oil) which I leave on for as long as possible. I left mine on while I did my nails, did some yoga, and watched a movie. Then I showered and washed my hair.

On Sundays is when I reapply my self tanner as well. So I use a body scrub in the shower and slough off my dry skin and then then apply my tanner as usual. Once I'm done all these things, I do whatever I want. Which is usually watch movies and browse Pinterest.

Do you have any special rituals that you do? When do you pamper yourself?
