Everyone needs a little pampering routine and to find that one thing that makes you feel good, well put-together and stressful, tiring days that little bit brighter.
I don't tend to wear much make-up and find a pampering bath more often than not interrupted by an over-excited child with a sudden burning urge to talk about their school day. So the thing I do that lifts me up and makes me feel less like I’ve been dragged through a hedge backwards is painting my nails.
As I teach yoga my feet aren’t hidden away in winter the way they used to be, so I love bright, cheery colours on my toes and - depending on my mood - either pale natural looking colours on my nails to make them look healthy or something sparkly to make me smile as I tap at my laptop.
