One of the greatest pleasures in life when you are a girl is being able to pamper yourself. We start as little girls playing dress up and perhaps playing with mom’s high heels and make up and as we get older we get our own stuff to play with.

If you are feeling tense, down or fatigued a great pick me up is to plan a girl’s night in for yourself. This is an evening that is all about you, your bath tub and a date with your preferred form of entertainment.

To kick off your evening of indulgence, kick off your work shoes and head straight to the bathroom to pour yourself a steaming hot bath. Put a whole lot of nice smelly bath stuff into the water and prepare yourself a ridiculous cocktail (umbrella and cherry are optional, but recommended). Sit back and relax in the tub while alternating between sips of aforementioned cocktail and catching up on the latest gossip magazine.

The next part is to give yourself a facial. Cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin. Take the time to massage the cleaner and cream into your skin to improve your circulation. The add a couple of dabs of the best eye cream you can find to ward off evil crow’s feet.

Slather your body in a sumptuous body lotion and massage it in around your thighs to minimize cellulite. Complete the medley of delicious smelling lotions and liquids with an eau de parfum spray. It is always good to spray your perfume when you feel like it and not just for special occasions.

Finish off all your bathroom procedures and treatments and then head into your bedroom. Put on your favorite sleepwear and dive under your fresh sheets. Once you are comfortably ensconced fish out your latest novel and curl up to read and relax. Alternatively, if you do not feel like reading, you can put on a movie to enjoy. Something of the fluffy romantic comedy nature is always a good bet on nights like these: dispense with all reality and soak up the movie magic.

Your image of the perfect girl’s night in might be a little different to this one. That is fine, you can plan whatever you like to make yourself feel wonderfully indulged and most importantly relaxed. If you have had a tough week, then this is a sure fire way to make you feel as though you can take on the world and win. Do it regularly and you will find yourself looking forward to them.
