WINTER NIGHT TIME ROUTINE | Hello October Vlogmas

Hi everyone, welcome back to my channel. So today I'm going to be talking you through my winter nighttime routine. And this video is a collab with Alex from I Covet Thee. So on her channel, she has a winter morning routine. So after you've watched this one, definitely go and watch that. I'll link it on the screen now and also on the cards above and in the description box below. So step one of my nighttime routine at the moment actually begins with a dog walk. Once I've finished work, I love getting outside. I just find it super relaxing and it really helps me to unwind at the end of the day. And I'll link my outfit that I'm wearing on this dog walk in the info box below. But my hat is from ASOS, my jacket is from Topshop. My jeans are also from Topshop. Oh, and my jumper is also from Topshop as well. And once I'm home, I start making my flat all kinds of cozy. I basically turn on all of the nice lamps and fairy lights that I own. I just find it so important at this time of year to create a really nice cozy space for myself. So that is like super important to me. I then go into my bedroom and I take off my jewelry and the top layers of my makeup before I get into my pajamas. And in case you're wondering, I'm using the Viteri Micellar Cleansing Water. This stuff smells amazing and works really well at taking off your makeup too. I'm one of those people that as soon as I'm home and I'm not working anymore, I have to be in my pajamas. And then once I'm in my super comfy clothes, I like to do a quick blitz of my home and I like to make everything super, super tidy and neat. I just find it really helps to declutter my mind if I have a really decluttered space. So I like to make sure my living room and bedroom especially are really clutter free. And I'm one of those people that's very prone to having a floor drobe. So I like to try and keep that at bay by just having a little daily tidy in the evening. Also on filming days, this room gets very, very messy. So tidying up before boyfriend comes home and has to live in this mess is just absolutely essential. And seeing as my bedroom also doubles as my office as well, I always tidy my desk at the end of the day and put everything away just so I'm not thinking about it whilst I'm trying to relax. So once everything is neat and tidy, I make myself a cup of tea and I light a lot of candles. Again, I just try to make everything as cozy as it can possibly be. The candles that are my favourite to light at the moment are the Village Candle, Warm Apple Pie Candle, the Bath and Body Works Pumpkin Pie Candle and the Diptyque Faire du Bois Candle. Those are my top three right now. And I will sit down in front of the TV and watch an episode of Gilmore Girls. I'll watch anything that I don't have to concentrate too hard on. It just really helps my mind to unwind. I'll also spend a few hours in the evening going through like my mail or cooking or lots of boring life admin. So once I've done that, I like to reward myself with a really nice relaxing bath. Whilst I'm running my bath, I like to cleanse my skin. And at the moment, I've been alternating between the Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel or the Lizelle Hot Cloth Cleansing Polish. This is the like Christmasy scent. I think it's orange and clove. It smells so good. On this occasion, I use the Lizelle Cleanser and I just apply that to my skin and take it off with a muslin cloth. And by the time I finished cleansing, my bath was ready for its lush bath bomb. And I used the Santa Suma bath bomb today. I always forget that this one goes bright green in your bath. It's a bit intense, I'm not gonna lie. Word of warning, don't leave this bath water in your bath for too long after because your bath will go green and yes, I have learned that from experience. Once I'm done in the bathroom, I move back into my bedroom and I get started on the rest of my skincare routine. So for toner, I use one from Paula's Choice, which I really like. It's really good for blemish prone skin. And then I use the Sunday Riley Luna Oil, which again is very good for blemish prone skin, particularly for scarring, which I have a lot of at the moment. And then for moisturiser, I use the Origins Make a Difference Plus moisturiser, which smells so, so good. And once that's done, I normally gravitate towards my bed. I just want to be in it once my skincare is on and I've brushed my teeth and all that. I just want to be in my bed. It normally takes me about half an hour to get into it though, because I have to remove the millions of pillows that are on it. So a lot of you have been asking where the pillows on this bed are from, and there are a lot of them. I'm going to link as many as I can in the info box below. But the smaller fluffy one is from Next. The large fluffy one is from HomeSense. And the two creamy coloured ones are from Urban Outfitters. Once I finally get into bed, I will either read or I will binge watch Westworld because I am obsessed with that TV show right now. At the moment, there are two books on my book stand. And the one that I'm currently reading is The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving an F. Can you say fuck on YouTube? I don't know. I just did. And then the one I'm going to be reading after that is Bloom by S. De La Londe. I'm just taking ages to finish the book by Sarah Knight first, but it is so funny and I'm really enjoying reading it. And I basically just do that until I'm sleepy. And that is my night time routine. I really hope you guys have enjoyed this. Please give it a thumbs up if you did. Leave me some sleepy emojis in the comments below. And don't forget to check out Alex's morning routine. And I will see you guys in my next video. Bye.
