Hey!

It's Sleep Awareness Week and I can't miss this opportunity to share my secrets for the best sleep of my life.

Mom life has got me *worn thin* many days, which makes getting a great night's sleep even more valuable. So, how do I turn off my brain and slow down my body? Here's the routine that's taken me from stress-flopping around my bed to zombie-mode sleep. I wake up calm and rested.

Best Night of Sleep You'll Get Routine:

1. Turn off the blue light on your phone!!! Like, all the time. It's terrible for your eyes and causes your body to produce cortisol. More stress = Less rest. If you have an iPhone, you can't turn this off completely. I have mine set to be off between 12:00am-11:59pm, which means that technically there's one minute a night when blue light is on but I'm getting the best night of sleep ever so it doesn't matter. If you can't do blue light off all the time, turn sleep mode on. This will turn off blue light in the evening hours. This signals the brain to start winding down.
2. About an hour before bed, make your Beam Dream! This is my secret weapon for zombie-mode sleep. It's got Reishi, Magnesium, L-Theanine, Melatonin, and Apigenin, which all work together to support a full night of rest. It comes in several flavors and they're honestly all delicious, but my favorite right now is brownie batter. You can save 40% on Dream this week only using my link!
3. Journal! Put your phone down and write out what's on your mind. This is the perfect time to prayer journal. When you can get all of those swirling thoughts out of your mind and onto paper, your mind will settle. I like to listen to instrumental music while I journal - no words.
4. Go to bed. This is the hardest step. Don't pick your phone back up and start scrolling. Instagram will still be there in the morning. Let that Beam Dream sail you right into sleep!

This steam mop changed my life In case you missed it, I shared on Instagram that a steam mop changed my life. Yes, that's dramatic but it's so true. This tool has completely changed the way I view mopping. It's as hassle-free as you can get. Hello, it does the scrubbing for you!! It makes quick mopping after toddler meals feel a breeze. I don't have to load a bucket of water. I don't have to use toxic chemicals. I don't even have to refill the water chamber every time. What a win. If you want less stress in your life, you need a steam mop. I'm being so serious. Clean floors = Calm mind You'll thank me. Clean floors = Calm mind
