My Sunday Favourites

Sunday. My favourite day of the week.

Mainly because I'm not at work, I hardly ever make any plans and I can get caught up on everything I want too.

Yes, I love staying at home, relaxing, organising my life and having a bit of 'me' time - so cliche I know but who doesn't love that?
Seeing as today is that day I thought I would share you you a few of my favourite Sunday things.
Cosy Clothes (aka looking like a slob)
Pyjamas, jogging bottoms, sweaters - I'm all about being comfortable and cosy.
7 NO BRAS TODAY THANK YOU, NO SIR, NOWAY.

Being Make-Up Free (goodbye visible eyelashes and brows)
There's thing better than letting your skin breathe. It is very rare that I will ever bother to put make-up on on a Sunday, I love being able to keep my skin a break and pamper it a little for a day. (Plus I can rub my eyes and scratch my eye brows if needed - what a treat!)

Face Masks (my weekly Halloween costume)
This goes hand in hand with the no slap thing. I love popping on a face mask on my day off. Give my skin that all needed bit of extra and my total favourite at the moment is the Montagne Jeunesse Hot Spring Sauna - I can't even tell you how many of these I've been through, and they are only £1 each - can't complain with that.

Kirstie's TV Takeover (The remote is MINE)
Yes. I love a good TV session on a Sunday, whether it's catching up ona ll that stuff I've recorded, Netflix or a few good movie's I love being on my sofa and chilling - you may think this is totally sad for a 25 year old but it relaxes me, yup I'm a loser..... (This can be a bit of a fight with the boyfriend though.... he's not a Kardashian/X Factor or Amy Schumer fan really....)

Blogging Marathon (duh)
All those do-to lists and notes I've created throughout the week normally get done about now. Blog posts writing, photo taking, replying to e-mails - the lot.
I mean I'm sat down cosy on my sofa cracking on with these next few posts (whilst catching up with the X Factor) right now! I love having my little blog baby to look after and I enjoy the escape of writing and creating so much - beats a week at work anyday. 

Clean Sheets
There is NOTHING better then going to bed on a Sunday with fresh clean sheets, the greatest way to start a new week.

 Tea (chain-drinking the stuff...)
I drink so much tea when I'm at home. Wearing comfortable clothes, sitting on my sofa and either blog writing or watching my favourite films.... it's just never the same without that cup of tea next to me! My favourite tea is green tea, I could drink it all day everyday. I've been loving these Pukka Supreme Macha Green teabags lately I grabbed them while they were on offer at Tesco - bargain.

Payday Boots Haul

Every payday I like to treat myself, now I'm not talking about a chanel handbag or trip to Paris but I like to get myself a few new little things to try or maybe a new pair of shoes or jeans.
Life is not fun when all your hard earned cash goes on bills is it? We've got to feel like we've got something nice out of working all month long!
Of course, once again my money has been spent in the big bad Boots! A few things on offer caught my eye along with a few newbie products too! But of course before I go and try them out like any normal person I must photo them and show them to you lovely people, who may or may not care.......
I love these face mask sachets. I've lost count at the amount of times they have been featured on here! For only £1 each they are the greatest weekly treat for my skin without breaking the bank, so when I saw NEW ones on the Boots website I squealed with excitement and ordered them straight away! (I order in store, free delivery and you can collect the very next day - perfect!) Along with my ultimate favourite the Hot Spring Sauna exfloiating mask I also ordered 3 of the masks from the new 7th heaven collection. Coffee Mocha Mud, Banana & Honey Masque & Argan Oil Mud.
They all sound amazing right?! I've used the Argan Oil Mud one already and had great results... although the smell wasn't fab!
More skincare now in the form of some Nip + Fab goodies. Being half price online at the moment I thought it would be rude not to invest in anything! I had heard alot about this Dragon's Blood range and after previously trying some of Nip + Fab's other skincare and loving it I decided it was a must.
I thought I'd try the Plumping Serum and the Cleansing Pads, they promise alot so I'm hoping for a fabulous skin overhaul sometime soon!
Yes this was definitely a "that is an amazing offer, I should probably buy it" purchase! I've had the Oral B Pro 600 toothbrush for about 18 months now and I was due to buy some new heads for it. BUT seeing this - the Oral B Pro 2000 toothbrush - down to just £27.99 instead of £70 I thought... stuff the heads I'm upgrading to a better toothbrush instead!
SUCH a good decision, I can really feel the difference with this, it is soooo much better than the 600! Bargain of the week!
I also bought some of the Colgate Max White One toothpaste as it was half price, I've used it before and liked it and I hate forking out for toothpaste so for only £1.99 this was perfect!
Last buy not least, some essentials. I talked about the Nivea Creme Sensitive shower gel in my post yesterday - I love this stuff and it was only £1 so I had to pick up another.
The next item was actually something I grabbed to get my total over a certain amount so I could use a points booster with my advantage card.... yes I'm one of those people! The Maxfactor Masterpiece Max is a mascara I have used for years and years and a total favourite of mine. Seeing as my Rollerlash sample is slowly running out and I can't afford a new one this is going to have to do for now - I'm liking the new packaging aswell for it.
And finally... some highly un-exciting vitamins! Now, I am not a fan of tablets or anything similar, so, like a child I love the good old chewy gummy vitamins! These are super yummy.... and they make me feel like I'm kind of doing my body some good?!

What have you treated yourself too this month?
