Favorite ways to unwind

January 30, 2020 By Noelle No Comments

This post is sponsored by Pantene, but all thoughts are truly my own!  

 

With the start of the New Year, it’s safe to say that many of us take this time to reflect on our past year and see the different ways we can make the new year better! One thing I always work on year after year is making sure I put aside time for myself and am de-stressing and relaxing. I find it sets me up for a better week and really helps with my overall health- but especially my mental health! For me, personally, the biggest part of my self-care routine happens at night! Though I do few self-care rituals throughout the day, it is harder to commit time fully to myself since work can get in the way! I’m going to be sharing my top tips that help me unwind after a long day! 

 

 

 

 

1. Bath time

If you know me, you know I love my baths! For me, a bath is the perfect way to decompress, while also nourishing your body with some amazing skin and hair products! 

Now that we are done with all of the back-to-back major holidays from last year, I like to take this time to recover my hair! Having gone to a lot of holiday parties and events, I put my hair through the wringer! I’ve started using Pantene’s Fortifying Damage Repair Collection with Castor Oil from the new Nutrient Blends Collection and I can already tell the difference! Castor oil is known for protecting and repairing, which is perfect for my overworked hair and scalp! The Castor Oil Shampoo helps to cleanse and strengthen my hair, and the Castor Oil Conditioner helps to nourish and restore my hair to its former silky glory! Not only are these products helping to bring balance back to my hair, but they are free of sulfates, parabens, dye and mineral oil! My hair is so thankful I started using both of these!! If you’re interested in trying this product for yourself, you can find the Pantene Nutrient Blends Collection here! 

 

Because of the beautiful blends within the collection, I was inspired to share more with you about my self-care routine and how I retreat for some time to myself.

2. Meditating or taking time off of my phone.

 

For me this is HUGE! I think we all tend to mindlessly sit there on our phones … and then next thing you know a full hour has gone by! This year, I’m making it a priority to take time off of my phone for a little bit and digest; just breathe and focus on me! I love to light my favorite diffuser scents or light a candle during this time too! 

3. Tea

Tea is something that I drink religiously! The world of tea is really expansive and there are so many kinds that have ingredients that cater to many things! Whether it be for indigestion, calming, or promoting sleep; there’s a tea for it! When it comes to unwinding, I always go for a tea that has a combination of lavender and mint! These ingredients are perfect for helping you relax! 

4. Cuddle/play time with my pup

I know this one might sound silly, but one of my favorite things I do to unwind is playing with my dog! From taking him on a walk or just getting some cuddles in with him, it truly helps relax me! They say there’s just something about animals that’s calming and it’s 100% the case for me. Just puts me at ease and Duke OBVIOUSLY loves the attention!

Kitchen before and after ✨literally fell out of Kitchen before and after ✨literally fell out of my seat the first time I saw this kitchen because of all of its glorious appliances but wanted to make it feel a little less modern!

8 years ago yesterday Danny walked into a clothing 8 years ago yesterday Danny walked into a clothing store in Brooklyn that I worked at (usually I worked with someone else but on this particular day alone) because his friend told him it was cool and he should check it out (and the store is very cool it’s @igwtnyc . I remember he walked in with fluffy 80’s hair, an oversized khaki trench coat, and big old school headphones. He was cute, but most customers were. I loved being helpful and genuinely loved working retail so kept complimenting him and helping him out. Apparently he didn’t really have any money.. but he bought a shirt LOL. As he was checking out we started chatting about how he had just moved to New York and i instantly was like oh I have a roommate moving out soon (which was true!) and that he could come check the place out if he wanted to. I was part flirting part nervous word vomit talking. I realized after I took a piece of paper and wrote my number on WHAT AM I DOING! Cute boy that I am asking to be my roommate NO! So we both got super awkward and said our goodbyes LOL. He texted me about 2 hours later to get a drink.. but we actually didn’t hangout until about 2 weeks later. Stories like this happen everyday, there’s nothing really unique about it. But it’s our story and we love it. We even acted out every scene of it yesterday 🤣 but you never know in these small interactions what could happen. I always think what if I hadn’t given him my number.. what if I hadn’t of remembered we actually had an extra of the size he needed of the shirt in the back and he wouldn’t of bought it.. honestly what if the girl I was working with that day hadn’t of called in sick. There’s no point to this really just that life is so many small moments making up such a big picture future. Anything can happen. The future is wild. Life is full of surprises ♥️
