MY NIGHT TIME ESSENTIALS
Recently I have really perfected my sleeping arrangement and if you are in my inner circle of people that I regularly talk to then you 100% know about all of these products. I have sounded like a broken record lately with how much I talk about these things. Things can always change but here are the 5 things that I currently love (in no particular order) for me to get the best night’s sleep!
1. Wrinkles Schminkles Forehead Patches
These forehead patches were something that I saw on TikTok a while back (maybe 5 months ago), after seeing them for the 10th time I said SURE FINE TAKE MY MONEY and here we are with forehead wrinkle patches lol! But so far I have been liking them! I wear this overnight about 3-4 times a week and can’t even tell that I have them on! The bit that sold me was the “Smooth & Prevent” forehead wrinkles part of the description. But it does say that it both prevents wrinkles and treats existing wrinkles so I am going to keep on using them. I also like that they are reusable (not forever but for about 20 times)!
Two Christmases ago (2022) Dustin got me the advent calendar from Anthropologie and on one of the calendar days there was a travel size of this Deep Pillow Spray in it, well I didn’t use it until about November of 2023 and then the travel size was gone and I was asking for a bigger bottle on my Christmas list. I love this stuff, I use like two sprays on my pillow and it is just relaxing and I love it! This brand has a ton of other products that they sell and I haven’t tried but I think the lotion would be a good product to try next.
Honestly, this should be at the top of the page because as a natural side sleeper, this knee pillow has changed my life and I don’t even care if that sounds dramatic. I literally packed this in my suitcase when I went to Iowa last week because I was nervous to sleep without it. I have had this pillow for just about a year (I got it last February) and any night that I have slept without it I have reached a new level of creativity to try and recreate having this knee pillow for a night of sleep. I really think this pillow has lessened my sciatic nerve pain, don’t come for me, I’m not a doctor but I honestly think this has helped that! I think everyone should give it a shot, I seriously love it so much!
If I am being completely honest if you would have asked me a year and a half ago if I slept with an eye mask I probably would have laughed in your face. I have no idea why but I just couldn’t imagine using one until I started having trouble with my eyes feeling very restless when I would try to go to sleep. So in a pair of pajamas that I got an eye mask came with it, I decided to try it, and wowwwww. It calms my eyes down and at this point sort of makes my body go into “we’re going to sleep now” mode and it is so nice! Since then I have upgraded to a nicer sleeping mask and Dustin sleeps with one as well, it’s so funny to me that we all of a sudden have like a whole nighttime routine and it’s fantastic and necessary at this point haha
This was another item that TikTok influenced me to buy but for good reason! We have two dogs and regardless of how often we clean and vacuum, their hair and dander seemed to be everywhere. This is just something that we have in our bedroom (honestly we move it around to wherever we are during the day) but at night I like it in our room. For one, it acts as a sound machine but two, the benefits that I have read sold me on it! It cleans the air of pollutants, reduces allergens, and can help reduce snoring….Dustin…like I said it provides white noise and lastly it reduces odors. Honestly, all wins in my book! Plus I like that I can open the vent and see that it has been working!
