The Great Escape


The great escape. Its all about excess, not doing things by halves, and just escaping whatever it is that's happening in your life. For me, its work related stresses, so every Sunday night, I devote an hour or two purely to myself, to primp, preen, and prepare myself for the week ahead.



Products pictured here (L-R): Country Road Fig Sheer Scented Candle, iPhone (for music), Glamour magazine, Lush Popcorn Lip Scrub, Elizabeth Arden All Gone Eye and Lip Makeup Remover, La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water, L'Occitane Shea Butter Lip Balm, Bioderma, La Roche Posay Effaclar A.I, Hydraluron, Clinique Eye Serum, Soap and Glory's Breakfast Scrub and The Righteous Butter, Clinique Moisture Surge Intense, Soap and Glory's Hand Food and Heel Genius.

Product not pictured: Shiraz - I drank it all.

I start with a bath. I light the candle, play my favourite music, and read whichever magazine I've treated myself to. A glass of red never goes amiss (Shiraz is my choice).

Use every single beauty product you own if you have to. The whole point of this is luxury and excess, and aking yourself feel like you're doing something special to treat yourself. Really, its only a bath, but if you don't often take them, give the Great Escape a go next time you're feeling tired or stressed, and I'm sure you won't regret it.
