Apparently I’m on a pampering-myself kick, since I wrote about having terrific lady days AND about treating yoself when it comes to dating. ‘Tis the season, I guess!

This time I wanted to share my night routine with you. It’s what I do to wind down every night before bed – plus or minus a step or two depending on how tired I am or how late I get started. It helps me stay healthy, from my muscles to my skin to my mind. #FindYourHealthy

So here we go – come get UNready with me!

CVS Night Routine - Get Unready with Me!

The first step in this night routine is the one that I do the least, but should probably incorporate more often: take a relaxing hot bath. I like to make it as hot as I can stand it (because then it stays warmer longer, duh) and add some epsom salts. Without exaggeration, I have muscle soreness just about every day due to my fitness regimen, and soaking in epsom salts really helps to lessen the soreness.

To go along with my soak, I like to light candles and watch YouTube videos or listen to podcasts. Today NPR released the first episode of the new Serial so you better believe I hit that business up. IMO, baths are mostly for chilling and not necessarily for washing, so I wait to wash my face until I get out. beauty routine gif After I apply my acne treatment, I add a thin layer of vitamin E oil to moisturize. My face has been really dry due to the colder air lately and this seems to be helping a lot.Then it’s time to get in bed!

Night and Candle

This candle is amazing. I found it in the holiday section at CVS!

Once I’m in bed, I catch up on my fave YouTube channels while applying the same vitamin E oil I used on my face to my cuticles, then finish off with my hand lotion.

In case you’re interested, my favorite YouTubers are:

  • Bunny (Grav3yardgirl): quirky makeup tutorials and miscellaneous product testing, aka Does This Thing Really Work?
  • Cristine (Simply Nailogical) who I wrote about here
  • Tati (GlamLifeGuru): detailed beauty product reviews and tutorials
  • Dana Linn Bailey: my fitness hero
  • LeighAnnSays: beauty tutorials and vlogs
  • Nicole Guerriero: beauty tutorials and vlogs
  • Brad Hall: offbeat sneaker reviews

When I’m ready to get some ZZZs, I take a strawberry melatonin tab to help me get a solid night of sleep, and then meditate for 10 mins or so using Stop, Breathe, and Think on my phone.

CVS Night Routine Melatonin

The Stop Breathe & Think app is free and I really like it because it asks you to input the five emotions you’re feeling at the time, then suggests guided meditations based on those.

gif of phone

And that’s all folks! Good night!

Thanks to CVS for sponsoring this #FindYourHealthy post! <3 you forever, CVS.

    It’s probably a very good idea to meditate right before bedtime. I bet you we would all sleep a little bit better for you I would just do that before bed.

    Just downloaded the app and tried it with a room full of toddlers. I am happy to say that it worked!! I feel 100% more relaxed than I did just a few minutes ago. Passing this on to my friends!

    I definitely need a routine like this! Mine is spent getting the kids ready for bed and by then I’m exhausted and there’s no time for me. I need to work on changing that!

    Can you believe this — I never liked baths! We have an oversized, jetted tub in our master bathroom, and I use it as a clothes drying rack holder. YEP! I think in 15 years, it’s experienced 3 baths — all when kids were sick. BUT, I love washing my face before bed and relaxing with quiet, classical music to fall asleep. 🙂

    No tub here.. but I take a quick hot shower (esp now that it is cooler) to unwind, usually with the lights off too… wash my face and body.. then watch brainless tv for about an hour before I snuggle with my honey. Great routine

    I haven’t had a bedtime routine like that since college! With four kids I am forever chasing them back to bed or getting someone a drink, a kleenex or a snack. I wouldn’t change it for anything in the world but I would love a break!

    Ama look into the melatonin bit, I think My face needs a bit of moisturizing since I have my bath way earlier and dont add any more moisturizer to my face nor do wi do anything with my nails prolly why they seem to ave lines in them now.

    meditation..hmm love it. Hardly ever do it at night now..somehow I get over taken by prepping for Christmas…I should get back into my groove. Thanks for reminding me and for sharing your cool beautyand wind down regime

    Sounds pretty similar to my bedtime routine. For me it’s a citrus scented bubble bath, a night time face cream (that I just added), my bedtime pills and I chill out with Netflix until my brain finally shuts up so I can sleep.
