Part of my Post-Work Out Recovery

I have to share this with you guys because after a tough work out, this is really one of the best parts of my post-work out recovery.

It’s absolutely amazing! My mom got it as a gift from one of her friends, but I noticed that she wasn’t using it. So, I decided to try some and instantly loved it. Since my mom saw how much I loved the product, she let me have it (Thanks, mom!). I’ve been happy with it ever since.

I can’t gush about it enough. It has this wonderful cooling effect that I love particularly after working out or even when I’m out and about in the sun…

I know what you’re thinking: You live in England. What sun are you talking about?! Don’t worry, I totally get you. But it comes in handy I travel back to the US, especially during the summer. It’s so wonderful.

It is a bit up there in terms of price, but honestly, I think the investment is worth it.

And once again, this product post is not sponsored! I just love this product so much, and I just wanted to share it with you guys.

Do you guys have any beauty products that you swear by? Feel free to comment down below!

Lots of love,

Treat Yo Self Saturday

Who can forget this glorious moment from Parks and Rec?

In the spirit of Tom and Donna’s yearly Treat Yo Self celebration, I try to do a scaled down version of Treat Yo Self every weekend because… Well, do I really need a reason? That’s the whole point of Treat Yo Self – to treat yourself for absolutely no reason at all! But seriously, I think it’s so nice to take time for yourself and your friends and indulge just a little!

So, I went out and bought some really wonderful essentials from L’Occitane, one of my favorite beauty brands. I’m a huge fan of their Cherry Blossom collection – and no, none of this post is sponsored! I genuinely love their products, and even though L’Occitane is a bit up there compared to other beauty brands, I love to treat myself to their products, especially their Ultra Rich Body Cream with Shea Butter. And I decided to try out their lip balm and hand cream, Vitoria Regia, from the L’Occitane au Bresil collection.

Then, I went to Gourmet Burger Kitchen and chowed down on their delicious buffalo burger, which I had never tried before. I love GBK and their array of burgers! The burger was so good (and I’ll keep it real – I was so hungry) that I totally forgot to take a picture of it… But, look! I took a picture of our drinks…

Total. Fail. Sorry, guys!

And after that, I did some grocery shopping at Waitrose, which was also a bit of a treat because I usually just go to Tesco Express, which is less than 5 minutes away from my flat, or Asda, which is also pretty close by.

So, all around, I think I can definitely say that after a week and a bit of being sick, I treated myself! I would like to think that Tom and Donna would be proud…

What do you guys do to treat yourself? I hope you all do something you enjoy because honestly, you deserve it!!! Your treats don’t even have to be extravagant. Maybe it’s just watching a movie or cooking with friends or enjoying a walk through the park, city, etc. Whatever it is, I hope you TREAT. YO. SELF.

Lots of love,
