MY SUMMER NIGHT ROUTINE

MY SUMMER NIGHT ROUTINE: Self care, Cooking, Prepping, Relaxing 2023

From self-care to cooking, prepping, and unwinding, I've got it all covered in this soothing evening routine. 🌙✨ 🌸

As summer days stretch on with their joyful chaos, finding a moment to unwind and take care of myself becomes a cherished ritual. In my recent YouTube video, I invite you to join me in my soothing yet productive summer evening routine. With my kids back from camp and the sun beginning to set, this routine allows me to strike a perfect balance between self-care, cooking, and relaxation. Come along as I share the intimate details of my calming summer night ritual.

Prepping and Refreshing

When the kids return home from camp, I know a shower or bath is essential to wash off the sunscreen, bug spray, and a layer of playground dirt that seems to magically appear. A touch of coconut oil helps keep their skin hydrated and nourished. After this refreshing routine, I appreciate how the extended daylight of summer allows our evenings to feel longer and more relaxed.

Productivity and Self-Care

Transitioning into the evening, I find comfort in a clean and organized living space before I head to bed. For me, tidying up is a form of self-care that sets the stage for relaxation. I tackle tasks like tidying the kids' play area and ensuring the kitchen is spick and span, creating an atmosphere of calmness throughout the home.

Cooking and Nourishment

With the house in order, it's time to dive into dinner preparations. Tonight, I'm opting for a simple yet nutritious meal: grass-fed beef burgers accompanied by a fresh salad. You can always see the weekly meal plan from Living Well to follow along.

Supplements for Restful Sleep

Post-dinner, I always take my magnesium supplements. This small addition has had a profound impact on my sleep quality. I'm diligent about tracking my sleep using my Oura Ring, and I notice a tangible difference when I skip this supplement. Alongside magnesium, I emphasize the significance of dry brushing, a practice that not only promotes lymphatic drainage but also leaves my skin feeling rejuvenated.

Unwinding and Reflection

As it gets closer to bed, I relish a moment of relaxation before bedtime. Sipping on a cup of calming lemon balm tea, I reflect on the day's accomplishments and moments of gratitude. Despite the change, I continue to appreciate its benefits and plan to reintegrate it into my evenings.
