Why Xmas is the Time to Treat Yourself (& how Sakare can Help)

I don't know about you but I'm burnt out. On top of my usually jam-packed schedule I've had to single handedly prepare to host Christmas at my house (for the first time) and buy presents for everyone that will make this year the best year ever. Let's just say it's not easy and juggling that with trying to ensure that my two boys are having the magical festive time that they deserve is almost impossible. Today after completing almost all of my missions before the big day I decided that it's time for some me time.

Mums at this time of year function on overdrive simply because they have to. Christmas parties, trips to visit Santa, present buying, food planning, decoration perfecting...it all gets too much at some point and now is the time to let it all go!

Focus on taking a breath, a moment of quiet for your brain and body to melt away the stress and actually enable yourself to start to enjoy these precious family moments. My top tip for relaxation is to treat yourself to a luxurious bath product and soak your troubles away (with a glass of wine, of course). Light candles, send the kids (and husband) away, whatever you need to do to find a real moment of peace in this busy time.

If you're going to do a bath properly then you absolutely have to use Sakare Soothing Shower Oil. Although the name suggests that it's only for use in the shower this is misleading as it is actually the best bath oil I have ever come across.

Add to a hot bath and be amazed as the water turns silky smooth with the most relaxing smell. It can't be described you just simply need to experience it for yourself! This product is extremely luxurious but at the same time extremely practical...it's a bath oil, body wash, and moisturiser all in one. Not forgetting that it can also be used for your daily shower even if you aren't taking a time-out bath. 

This is one present that you shouldn't wait until Christmas to unwrap...go and treat yourself to something a bit early...you deserve it and trust me, it will help you get through what's to come!

Good luck to all of you out there hosting your first ever Xmas dinner (me included), and to all others...hope you have a fantastic Christmas with lots of magical moments!!

Not sure what someone's preferences are when it comes to their beauty regime? Stick to these 3 foolproof products and you will be sure to impress them this year...

Deep Cleansing Salt Scrub - Most people exfoliate occasionally and even if your gift receiver doesn't they will love how soft and refreshed their skin feels after this scrub. Rich in minerals and almond oil which nourish skin leaving a healthy glow.

Soothing Shower Oil - This product is the equivalent of a luxury massage although at home in your shower! High concentration of Vitamin E helps your skin to repair itself and injects moisture meaning that you won't need to use any additional lotions afterwards. Lather up in the shower or use as a bath oil for ultimate pampering. 

Luxuriating Body Butter - A good quality body butter is an essential that every woman should have in the bathroom cabinet. This butter is extremely moisturising but also easily absorbed by skin and will leave you feeling silky smooth for at least 24 hours. Works well with all skin types, including dry and sensitive.
