I think in a world where you work 9-5.30 everyday, you’ve
got to keep up with bills, housework, love life and a social life it’s easy to
not have the time to yourself that you need. I think it’s really important to
do things by yourself and have some ‘me’ time.
I’ve been trying little things lately to treat myself (without breaking
the bank) and to help me feel better inside and out. So I thought I’d share
some of these tips I’ve learnt over the past few weeks.
I’m all for having a pamper but
it’s easy not to make time to just have a night where you try a face mask,
paint your nails and have a long hot bath. Thanks to having a few more pamper
evenings, I’ve discovered my love for face masks and I’ll let you in to a secret
(I’ve got one on right now typing this post!)
Since being about 13/14 years old, I’ve suffered on and off
with anaemia. One thing my mum did which helped me so much is she got me into
taking vitamins. I think vitamins aren’t spoken about enough and the benefits
they can give you are priceless. At the moment I’m trying out Seven Seas
Perfect 7 and even though I haven’t seen results yet, these vitamins can help
your skin and nails, hair, energy levels, hormonal activity and vision. I also think it’s important to take things
like vitamin C to boost your immune system.

Exercise
This is something I don’t do enough (probably because I’m
always exhausted) but I am trying to do more. In fact tonight after work I went
on the exercise bike and completed 10km! Exercise makes you feel better, keeps
you fit and helps you burn off the calories of the occasional chocolate
binge/dominoes pizza.
4.
Take up a new hobby
I’d really like to join a fitness class, take up yoga or do
something crafty but there are just not enough hours in the day. What I’m
trying to do at the moment is spend more time doing everyday things (which
helps me to relax) and one thing I’m really enjoying is cooking! This weekend I
made cookies and after a long week, it really helped me switch off and relax.
5.
Be More Social
We’re all guilty of not spending enough time with loved ones
and sometimes even though you want to say no to that girly meal out, it’s best
to say yes. Get out more, see your friends and loved ones and just surround
yourself by positive people.
These are just a few things you can do to help you feel just
that little bit happier with your lifestyle and I hope this post inspires you
to try something new. What do you do to feel happier? Do you have any tips you’d
like to share with me? Leave a comment below!

These tips were so helpful! I agree that having some "me" time is very important. :)
