Wind down by taking a bath, brushing your teeth and cozy-ing up in freshly made sheets. Aaaah! This is what sweet dreams are made of.
1/ Get A Better Night’s Sleep
We all know that proper rest is beneficial to heath, sharpness and energy levels. In uncertain times, it’s even more crucial than ever, so, create a dreamy bedroom. Nix the social media posts and binge-watching and instead draw and bath, put on some low key music, and then tuck into some beautiful sheets. Choose patterns that inspire, soft, natural fabric, in pleasing tones. Give yourself permission to turn in half an hour earlier and choose a regular bedtime routine to promote good sleep. Hey, everything looks rosier in the morning!
