Hi everyone! So last month I posted my morning routine so it only makes sense that I follow up with my nightly routine! Because the time I start winding down and getting ready for bed varies literally from day to day, I won't break it down into a timeline kind of thing like I did with my morning routine! Anyway, here is my nightly routine!

First things first, I'm definitely a "night shower" kind of person. MAINLY because it saves me time in the morning, but also because when I tried to convert back to morning showers I could NOT sleep knowing I wasn't nice and clean and that I hadn't washed the day off of me - so I don't think there's any going back at this point, lol. So to kick off my night routine I usually wash my face with some sort of cleanser (right now I'm loving glam glow), follow up with a face mask, and depending on whether or not I was my hair that night - I do a hair mask (I'm STILL loving the Macadamia deep treatment conditioner!)

After my shower I follow up with a nice smelling lotion. However, usually in summer I skip this step JUST because it is still soooo hot at night and I HATE feeling sticky and hot - especially before bed. I also follow up with a moisturizer on my face (PONDS, 10/10 - been using this since I was like in 9th grade babe).

Next, I brush my teeth! Since having braces brushing my teeth has been a bit more of a process. I have to use a bristled-pick-kind-of-thing to get in between all my braces, then brush with water, THEN brush with toothpaste - so yeah. During this entire process I usually find a good 15-20 minute conference talk on my LDS app! After brushed I FLOSS - seriously, I cannot sleep if I don't floss. Then I rinse out my mouth with listerine! I think listening to the conference talk really tells my heart and mind it's time to settle down and be still - so I know that's what really ties this whole routine together!

After brushing my teeth I apply vaseline to my lips to keep them nice and soft and have them nice and soft for the ENTIRE next day (seriously, this is such a pro-tip because vaseline is SO CHEAP and it actually provides a LONG LASTING softness to my lips, unlike chapsticks).

Lastly, to really complete my day/nightly routine - I read a chapter or two of scriptures! This, combined with a 15+ minute conference talk, really calms me down and makes everything feel peaceful and still which helps me sleep! Seriously don't think I would be able to fall asleep if I skipped either of those two steps!

Hope you all enjoyed my nightly routine! Let me know what you guys incorporate into yours! Thanks for reading!

xo, me.
