Picture this: Your umbrella breaks on the way to work, then your train (and the one after) is cancelled. As if that’s not enough, you get into the office and spill coffee on your new shoes. It’s one of those days, and — understandably — all you want to do is go home and get into your pyjamas. But you’ve got plans with your pal after work. *Sigh*. As 5pm draws nearer, the dread intensifies. Suddenly, your can’t-be-bothered-call is answered. Bzz. Bzz. Bzz. ‘Do you mind if we reschedule tonight?’
That’s the joy of missing out.
Whether your night in comes up unexpectedly (as above) or your me-time has been plotted in your calendar for weeks (can relate), there are certain non-negotiables for such an occasion. Think: bubble bath and body care.
So, if a wellbeing evening at home is on the cards for you in the near future (like... this Friday night), these are the staying-in essentials you need for a ritual reset... FOR YOUR BATH
