Cozy Winter Night Routine 🌙 | Slow Evening, Self-Care, & Aesthetic

Hello you guys, welcome back to my channel. I'm so excited to be bringing you guys along with me on my cozy winter night routine. My night routine changes depending on the season, depending on the time of the year. This is my current winter night routine and what I do to wind down and have a good night's rest. So if you guys want to maybe get a little bit of inspiration on how to have a good night's rest and all the healthy habits that I've started to incorporate into my night routine, especially during this time of year, the winter blues start and it's really hard sometimes to stick to a good routine. Let's go ahead and get this night routine started. I used to skip meals when life felt overwhelming, but lately cooking for myself has become one of the most grounding parts of my day. Tonight I'm making one of my favorite easy dinners, something filling, simple, and actually satisfying. I used to think eating healthy meant forcing myself through meals I didn't enjoy, but now I focus more on balance. Tonight I made a bowl with ground beef for protein, I added spinach and tomatoes for freshness, avocado for healthy fats, and sweet potatoes because they're comforting and keep me full. Meals like this remind me that taking care of your body, it doesn't have to feel like punishment. It can feel warm, it can feel grounding, and it can still taste really good. This is your reminder that slowing down and feeding yourself is productive too. Now it's time to set the tone and setting the tone in my room is super important to me because light actually plays a huge role in our sleep cycle. Exposure to bright or cool blue-tinted light at night can suppress melatonin, which is the hormone that helps tell our body it's time to sleep, and that can delay the internal clock that regulates your sleep rhythms. So dimming the lights and choosing warm lighting isn't just cozy, it's actually science-backed sleep hygiene. It's like telling your brain, we're winding down now, long before your head even hits the pillow. Taking a warm shower before bed is another underrated sleep hack, and there's real science behind it. Warm water temporarily raises your body temperature, and as your core temperature drops afterward, that natural cooling signals your brain that it's time to fall asleep. Studies have found that this effect, sometimes called water-based passive body heating, can help you fall asleep faster and actually improve overall sleep quality when done about one to two hours before bedtime. It's not just relaxing, your body is physically preparing for deeper sleep while you rinse. This is my favorite scent that Frenchie created in the whole entire universe, it's cashmere vanilla. I can't even begin to describe the way that this makes me feel so calm and soothed, and this is true because it is actually made with mood science, so this is actually proven to have some type of scent technology to it. This is a fragrance that I associate with nighttime, and I layer, of course, I start off with this Frenchie melting body balm in cashmere vanilla, and then I layer it on top with the milky body lotion, cashmere vanilla, of course. Now this is a little plot twist, this is the spray that I use, it is the moon milk. This is not the same, obviously I don't have cashmere vanilla in this, but I wish that I did instead. I just bought this because I smelled it in the store, and I loved it, and I don't want to over consume in 2026, so I'm just gonna stick with this until it runs out. And of course, you can't forget deodorant. So these are the pajamas, they are from Victoria's Secret, and I actually got them in a size medium, which I feel like I would have been better in a size small, but these were the only left, and I could not pass up on them, like they are so- tell me they're not the freaking cutest, like are you kidding me, and they were on sale. I think we've all had those moments where something happens that is super unexpected, whether it's like an emergency, groceries, or you forgot you had to get something for someone, whatever it might be, we've all had those moments where we're like, we need a little bit of extra cash or money, and that's why I recommend Clover. You can access up to $400 instantly, with no credit check, no interest, and no late fees. It's super transparent, which I really appreciate, because everything in this economy is already so expensive as it is. I don't take Clover as me choosing to be reckless, or just using it for funsies, it's about having support when life throws something unexpected your way, whether that's groceries, like I said, or if you had a pet emergency, and there's been moments where I had to take Milo to the vet, and I'm like, having Clover gives you just like that little bit of extra cushion. So if you need a little cash right now, click the link in my description box below to sign up for Clover, and make sure to let them know that I sent you. I'm gonna be doing some skincare now, and I'm so excited to be talking about skincare, because if you guys have been on my channel, you've known that I have been dealing with hormonal acne, and it was so taxing on my mental health. I'm not even gonna like a lot of you guys. I start by taking my makeup off. I use micellar water, I do not use an oil. I just found that my skin slowly started hating them, so I decided to just stick to micellar water, because it is a lot more gentle on my skin, and I don't find that my skin disagrees with it. I also did a poll asking you guys if you'd want to see a skincare routine, now that my skin has finally healed. I feel like I'm at a better place than I was before, so let me know in the comment section if you actually do really want to see a skincare routine. Also, I don't want my skincare to take all the credit for my clear skin. It is Jesus who deserves all credit, because I made a prayer, and I was like, Jesus, I need your holy blood facials, okay? Do a blood facial for me, and let your holy blood lean my skin, and get rid of this, because that is just how bad it was affecting me mentally and emotionally, and I just I could not take it, guys, and now my skin is looking so much better. It's healing, as you can see. There's still some scarring, but Jesus and a little bit of some treatment will take care of that. I'm drinking spearmint tea, because I heard that it's good for your hormones. It can help lower excess androgens. It's often used by people with hormonal acne, or PCOS. It may reduce chin and jawline breakouts over time. It also helps with stress and anxiety, and helps relax the nervous system. It also helps reduce bloating, gas, and indigestion, which we all know I can use, and it also helps to relax the body, which leads to better sleep. It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and also helps with bad breath naturally. Cheers to all the benefits! Begin by allowing your body to get more comfortable wherever you are right now. Allow any distracting thoughts to come and go, as if you're watching them floating down a string. Make a tight fist with your right hand, pull, and focus on what that tension feels like to you, and release all the tension in the fist. The muscle with your left arm, and hold it there. I feel like I look like a horse. Do you like twist the ends or no? Yes. Why are you asking like from a professional? Am I TikTok? Do you need help or something? What are you doing? Yeah. How do I look like George Washington? Hello? Anyway guys, I'm about to go to sleep. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I hope that you enjoyed seeing my nighttime routine.
