Our Nighttime Routine for the Best Sleep
If you want sound sleep, it’s important to have a good bedtime routine. This includes winding down for thirty minutes before getting into bed and disconnecting from electronic screens.
We also recommend keeping some key items by your bedside: a bath soak, lots of silk, and a hot cocoa made with mushrooms (an excellent source of natural melatonin). Follow these steps for sweet dreams tonight.
Hitting Home
Try taking one of these before bed if you feel a restless night coming on. Formulated with sleep-friendly melatonin and vitamin B6, they will do exactly what the name promises.
Coconut Is Your Best Freiend
Yes, we know. Adding yet another jar of coconut oil to your already overflowing shelves may sound excessive. But this one—cold-pressed and alkaline—is our absolute favorite for oil pulling, an ancient Ayurvedic practice originally meant for whiter teeth and healthier gums).
Pillows
After you’ve tried sleeping on a silk pillowcase, you’ll only wish more things were wrapped in this delicate fabric. The best pillowcases are made of 100% mulberry silk for both its beauty and benefits: the fibers don’t catch or crease like cotton ones do, resulting in smooth skin and hair.
Floating in Bed
A few spritzes of a pillow spray, and you’ll be off floating in dreamland in no time. Aromatherapeutic botanicals like lavender, rose, and chamomile combine for a real head-in-the-clouds experience.
Perfect Pijamas
Looking for an excuse to jump into bed? Invest in a two-piece cut; silk on the bias is all the invitation you need.
Relaxin Bed
If you’re anything like us, you love a nice nighttime bath. A detox bath promotes relaxation. To use it, simply add a cup of the mix to a hot bath and let your body soak for twenty minutes. Afterward: Waddle off to bed!
Tea time
We suggest drinking relaxing teas or mixes with organic cocoa powder, the adaptogen reishi to support the body’s sleep cycles, and a dash of cinnamon and cardamom. If you find yourself tossing and turning at night, just mix one packet with a cupful of hot water or your favorite milk.
Relaxed Eyes!
If you want to upgrade your eye mask, go for a silk one that’s padded and large enough to cover half your face. That way, no light will be able to sneak in. The finer details, like the tropical print or scrunched elastic band in the back, are just a bonus. You’ll be asleep before you even notice them!
Skincare
If you want baby-soft skin, look no further than an exfoliator! It’s a combination of physical and chemical exfoliation using licorice to soothe and brighten skin.
Late-Night Ritual
Whether you’re looking to set the mood for a magical night or just want a relaxing time, choose candles of wypress, frankincense, and labdanum due to their mystical properties.
Confortable Bed
There’s no need to overthink this one, a comfortable duvet set is perfect all year round! You’ll be comfortable no matter the season.
Positive Vibrations
Orgasms are delightful. If you’re looking to stimulate your clitoris and vulva, we recommend a vibrator.
