hey guys welcome back
hope you're all doing well so a little
update the past couple of weeks have
been
a little bit busy for me and to be
honest I'm feeling
pretty overwhelmed with it all it's been
hard for me to balance mommy duties
work-life personal life it's just
catching up to me so that's why
today's the video I wanted to do like a
restorative before bed routine because
I need it
and if you feel in any way shape or form
the same way then come and hang out and
relax with me
[Music]
ask yourself these questions when's the
last time you took a meeting do you
constantly feel anxious or overwhelmed
do you go to bed feeling exhausted
knowing that you have to get up the next
morning doing the same thing over and
over again that's why I'm hoping we can
rejuvenate our minds and bodies together
in this video
and feel better going to sleep and wake
up the next day feeling restored
I've also teamed up with the vino to
Share with you guys our best tips and
tricks on how to
unwind and relax before bed featuring
their restorative skin therapy
collection
I always tell myself if I don't take
care of myself how will I take care of
my loved ones
and on that note let's get started I'm
going to get into my cozy robe to start
my nighttime wind down
the first beauty tip is to prep my skin
and to dry brush it
is going to be so good for exfoliating
this reduces cellulite and improves
circulation
I love doing this when i have extra time
before hopping in the shower or bath
it also makes my skin so incredibly soft
sometimes it's nice to give your skin
that extra bit of exfoliation if you
have the time
here my skin is super dry on the
collarbone and near the shoulders so i'm
going to make sure i dry brush this area
too
now i'm going to draw a nice warm bath i
love having a few bubbles
not too many and i add a handful of
epsom salts into the bath
this gives a really nice scent and an
aroma along with a few pumps of the
aveeno restorative skin therapy body
wash to the spout
this body wash is amazing for dry skin
which i have
it's creamy formula contains oat aloe
and pro vitamin b5 which all help
nourish sensitive skin i take a pump of
this and use this on my exfoliating
gloves as well
to go over any dry areas like my
shoulders arms and legs
i love taking baths but it definitely
requires time which i don't always have
so being able to do this once every few
weeks is such a treat
once i'm finished exfoliating my entire
body i'll rinse it off
now if i get a chance to shave this is
the time to do it it's relaxing easy and
i can rinse it off in the bath
but if you don't have shaving cream you
can always use hair conditioner and
rinse it off with cold water to avoid
any razor bumps
another part of my body that i neglect
is my feet
they do so much work here i'm going to
give them a nice scrub to exfoliate any
dead skin cells and especially around
the heel
area for any dry cracked skin now i'm
going to hop out of the bath and dry
myself off and apply the aveeno
restorative skin therapy repairing cream
with prebiotic oat
i apply on my legs first because it's
one of the areas that are the driest on
my body
this will help restore the moisture
barrier to help improve skin resilience
and it's really great for sensitive
distressed and dry skin and for any
areas that need
extra relief i'll be using the aveeno
restorative skin therapy
itch relief balm i'll apply this to my
shoulders down my arms elbows and any
areas where there are minor skin
irritations
it's non-greasy and fast absorbing which
is a huge bonus
i love how the restorative skin therapy
collection is so gentle and it's perfect
for my before bedtime routine
now to really settle in i'm going to
make myself a cup of tea lately i'd be
drinking lots of mother's milk since i'm
breastfeeding still and want to keep up
my supply
if you have any tips on this please
comment below the milk boosting
ingredient in this tea is fenugreek
along with fennel anise coriander and
blessed thistle
which are herbs that have traditionally
been used as galactigogs to help promote
milk supply
i steep this tea for about 10 to 15
minutes and then enjoy
another thing i've been practicing a lot
of is mindfulness when i have the time
i like to just sit cross-legged on the
carpet
i'm usually a little bit anxious here
it's hard for me to settle down but once
i really get into the swing of things
and
i'm able to relax my mind it really
helps me just
get ready before bed sometimes i listen
to headspace sometimes i listen to just
the comm app
and have the rain ambience thing going
on in the background
one of the last things i love doing
before bedtime
is making sure that i apply some oil to
my cuticles
you might have seen in my videos that i
do have really dry cuticles
and this is really a treat because when
i do this my
cuticles look so much better but i
always forget and i'm constantly washing
bottles cleaning dishes cleaning our
apartment so it's not like
i always think of this before i go to
bed so when i do
and i'm able to have like a relaxing
night this is definitely a treat for me
to do
and that's all for today i hope you guys
enjoyed hanging out with me
