⏰ Alarm. Snooze. Alarm. Brush. Shower. Get dressed and bolt out to girl-boss 💪
Morning showers are the quickest showers we all take. It’s most often spent thinking about impending tasks or deciding work outfits. Evenings, on the other, are for revival. The only two thoughts occupying our minds are dinner and sleep. In this situation, how recovering should the showers be?
Immensely. Showering once you’re back home from working all day is not just hygienic but healing. Even if you spend 10 minutes under the shower, you need it to strengthen your soul for yet another day of work the next day 🗓️
There are a couple of ways you can elevate the experience of evening showers:
Warm showers 🚿
Lukewarm or warm water helps relax your muscles after an entire day of being tense. Avoid really hot water for a prolonged time as it may dehydrate your skin.
Mood Lighting 💡
We all know that lighting is important 😉 it is the same for unwinding. Dim lights that have warm or soft tones can help calm our minds.
Scented Candle/Air Freshener 🕯️
Some scents are known to improve mood and enhance relaxation. Light a candle or two, or maybe invest in an air freshener that will soothe your nerves.
Exfoliate 🫧
Exfoliating is good for multiple reasons. It clears your skin of dead skin cells. Exfoliating rejuvenates your skin, making you feel fresh and new. Exfoliating once a week is sure to improve your mood.
Shower Pudding 🍮
Investing in an indulgence is difficult yet essential. A buttery shower pudding softens your skin, while its fragrance lasts an entire day. Smell like a vanilla cookie or the ocean breeze for a soothing sleep. A hug full of warmth and comfort is exactly what you need and deserve after working as an independent woman 🫂
Hydration Post Shower 🧴
Making sure that your skin is hydrated for the entire night is important. Use a repairing or healing body lotion and let it soak for the night 💫 If you use a hydrating body wash like a shower pudding, your skin is so soft after a shower, you may not need a lotion!
Follow them as much as you can to let your mind and body heal as you keep working to get the life you want (and deserve) 💌
