nightly rituals // relaxing before bedtime

nightly rituals // relaxing before bedtime
I love routine, I love rituals - they keep me grounded. 

Every morning I make our bed, each night it is impossible for me to go to bed with the dishes in the sink, dirty counter tops or an un-vacuumed floor. I actually get really anxious, to the point I can't relax until the above tasks are completed. It's the same with clutter, clutter and I do not get along but that is a story for another day.

In addition to a morning routine I have a nightly one too or a ritual  you could call it.
Dinner, a cup of decaf tea, the normal teeth brushing, lotioning of the hands and about an hour of reading in bed to decompress and settle in for bed.

 To this routine I have added the ritual of essential oil diffusing.

Through my partnership with NOW as a Wellness Influencer I was able to get my hands on my very own diffuser. It was love at first sight when I saw the Faux Wood Diffuser, it is even prettier in person. I had never used a diffuser before and was a little uncertain how it would work- but it is super easy! Drops of essential oil are dropped into the water basin with luke warm tap water, then screwed into the base. Press the power button and instant essential oil mist is born, which has an added benefit of adding moisture to the air as well.

There are 2 settings, one with a night light and one without.

I love the Clean Air Blend at night and am in love with the Tangerine during the waking hours. The tangerine essential oil is also heavenly in a warm bath with epsom salts + baking soda- it makes the entire bathroom smell amazing!

My go to nightly tea as of late has been the Green Tranquility - it is perfect for unwinding at the end of a long day.

I would love for you to experience oil diffusing in your own home along with a cup of relaxing tea!
