5 tips on how to create a holiday mood without leaving home (photo 1)

1. DO A TRIBUTE TO RESORT DECOR
The best way to remind yourself of your favorite hotel on the Thai coast is to freshen up the interior in the same style (with taste and in microdoses). Pull wicker boxes, beautiful shells, whimsical driftwood, sea pebbles, coconuts to the surface - purchased souvenirs and everything that you took as a memory of the trip will go into action. Change dark curtains to light and voluminous ones, add details reminiscent of beaches and relaxation spaces: a bamboo tray, a floor lamp with a linen shade, a rattan chair, decorative pillows with nautical prints, a lightweight knit blanket. Spend the weekend leisurely decorating your home in a resort style - the effect will be impressive, we promise.

GET A 5-STAR BEDROOM
Admit it, there is something special about the hotel style of making beds. All these crisp white sheets, fluffy pillows, silk bedspreads awaken complex decadent feelings in the soul, especially from tactile perception. What prevents you from recreating a delightful resort bed in your own bedroom? Invest in quality sheets (Egyptian cotton preferred), new pillows (which should be changed at least once every five years anyway), and learn from YouTube videos how to make a hotel-style bed, performing perfect angles and masterfully tucking a blanket under a mattress. What else? Oh yes, the royal canopy over the bed - just like in that hotel in the Maldives. These are found in IKEA or, again, on the Internet.

Buy a nice water bottle
Sometimes all we really need is a little bit of visual motivation. A stylish water bottle (like a thermos, but not heated) that looks spectacular on your desktop will want to be refilled throughout the day. Maybe this is your key to meeting the recommended dose of H2O?

3 Detox Water Recipes to Detox Your Body and Lose a Few Pounds

Pink water
This cosmetic has been known since the time of Hippocrates. It is obtained by steam distillation of hybrid varieties of roses. I add water to creams, rub it on my face instead of tonic, apply it to my hair and scalp, and take baths with it. It has an antiseptic, astringent, healing, antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory effect.

Lip balm
Lip balm has at least 10 uses. It softens the cuticle, does a great job with cracks on the hands and even replaces the highlighter. The reason for this versatility is simple: without exception, all lip balms contain moisturizing and wound-healing components.

argan oil
Argan oil has become a social media star. Trichologists began to recommend it - it improves the condition of the hair, cosmetologists - it contains vitamins of youth, and beauty bloggers. I always apply argon oil to the ends of my hair when going to the beach, as well as for acne and breakouts. The oil contains organic acids (lilac and vanillic), which have an antiseptic effect.

Acid peeling pads
This beat tool appeared on my shelf recently! And it is ideal for owners of oily and problem skin. And it is also very comfortable. Discs impregnated with a composition of AHA and BHA - acids, vitamins, hyaluronic acid. Regular use improves complexion, promotes skin renewal and reduces pores.

Give your body a break
Constant stress, chaotic nutrition and inadequate sleep affect health and appearance. Give your body a break. To do this, it is enough to adjust the mode and follow simple rules. Try intermittent fasting to relieve your bowels. If you can’t arrange fasting, then replace one meal with a healthy smoothie (preferably from green vegetables, but it is better to refuse fruits). Go to bed before 12 o'clock, so sleep will be better. And periodically arrange a digital detox, this will help reduce stress levels in everyday life.
Aloe gel
Aloe gel is my favorite all-in-one product that I don't leave the house without. It has excellent regenerating and moisturizing properties - it can be applied to the face, body and even hair. By the way, about the last. Have you ever made masks with aloe gel? If not, try it - perfectly moisturize, smooth, make hair smooth and shiny. The gel contains enzymes, tannins, vitamins, minerals, micro and macro elements. And aloe gel soothes the skin after sunburn. Summer is!
