We woke to a very dark morning today. The kids had to double-check with me that it was actually morning. I guess it would take us some time to get use to the dark autumn/winter mornings. This season is all about self-care. I will be spending more time indoors naturally, so I intend to make the most of it. Here are a few things I will be doing this season.

 

Manicures/Pedicures

I will be getting my nails done at home, thanks to these lovely LOLA Neptune and Gothica Nail Vanishes. I really like the shades. They are great for the season.

 

 

These LOLA’s nail polishes have been formulated with Expert Gel III technology which is especially engineered to deliver fluidity, as well as high gloss and resistant wear. I love how easy it is to apply these shades. I am usually not a nail polish lady, but I am making an exception with these beauties. Plus, it is a way to give myself a little loving this season.

 

Good Sleep

With the longer nights and shorter days, I know I will be sleeping more this season. I am usually sleep deprived most of the time because I work late into the night once the kids are in bed. When I do get to bed, usually past midnight, I sometimes struggle to fall asleep and I wake up feeling very grumpy.

 

 

I have been taking Benenox just before bedtime and it has improved my sleep greatly. I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to make the most of the day. It is a great sleep aid. Just like an overnight recharge.

Benenox is great for anyone who struggles to get decent sleep. A 15ml of Benenox is all you would need to aid quality sleep. It comes in Blackcurrant and Lemon & Ginger flavours. You can grab yours on Amazon or at Tesco.

 

 

 

Good Food

I plan to do a lot more cooking and baking this season. Prior to having kids, I baked a lot but I kind of fell out of love with baking. Maybe because I am usually too drained to bake! I have a few baking recipes I will be trying in the next few weeks, thanks to the many food blogs I read.

 

 

 

I have been using this Tiana Cooking Butter for some days now, and I am loving it. We used it while grilling some potatoes the other day, and I must confess it is one of the best cooking butters I have used in a long time. It is a great substitute for cooking oils. I love the smooth creamy texture and the fact that it has no coconut taste at all!

What do you think of these products? Have you used any of them? How will you be having some self-care this autumn? Please share your ideas in the comments section below.

Thanks for reading.
