Relaxing + Productive Night Routine

My Night Routine!


I like to have a good mix of things in the routine that I do at the end of the day. I do have some variation as some days I want more relaxation and pampering than others but most of the things are consistent from day to day. To be completely honest, I don't do this routine every single day, but I generally fall asleep faster and get better quality sleep when I do my routine vs when I don't. I'll mention the high level steps of my daily routine below, but check out my youtube video for the full details!

  • straighten up + tea -> 20 mins: I like to go to bed and wake up to clean house with minimal clutter. Tea also helps with relaxation
  • read -> 30 mins: while drinking tea :)
  • get ready for bed -> 30 mins: including shower, brushing teeth and skincare
  • log food -> 5 mins: MyFitnessPal
  • Duolingo -> 10 mins: re-learning French :)
  • Journal -> 10 mins
  • Affirmations -> 5 mins
  • Meditate -> 10 mins

Let's Talk Money!

One topic that will continuously be a source of debate on social media (especially twitter) is money. I have some thoughts on some of these debates which I will explore below in some detail. I think the main question is really, "How much money is enough?" The answer is, "It depends."  If you prefer to watch a video instead of reading, I do discuss this topic in my latest "Get Ready With Me". I think a lot of people have misguided opinions on how much money is enough because they are living paycheck to paycheck and they feel like all their problems would be solved if they made 20k more or whatever the number is. They see people making more than what they think their "magic number" is and decide that those other people must be hoarding money and make statements like "nobody needs that much money." There is even more pushback if the person making more is saying they want to make even more.  To some extent, this makes sense because ther

Lovers and Friends Fest! Las Vegas

Image
I had a great time at the Lovers and Friends Festival in Las Vegas, so I wanted to share my experience with everyone. If you're interested in a video version , please check that out on Youtube :) This was my first time attending an all day music festival, and I definitely wanted to be prepared for the Vegas heat, so first I'll share what I packed for the festival. clear backpack  - This was a must as festivals as well as many other events only allow clear bags or super small clutches. I definitely needed something of a pretty good size to carry all of my other options. gatorade powder  - This was a major key in staying hydrated in the 100 degree Vegas weather. Some people use the Liquid IV packets, but some form of electrolytes are definitely a must. collapsible water bottles  - I chose these because I wanted to have more room on my way to and from the festival when all of my other items were in my backpack. I reserved a locker, so some of the less essential things (listed belo

Bali Solo Trip!

Image
I took another solo trip. This time to Bali, Indonesia. This is a blog about my experience. If you prefer to receive information in video form, please check out the vlog. Travel Info Bali does require an eVisa or VOA for US citizens. You can do this when you arrive, but I opted to do it ahead of time to avoid waiting in an additional line. You can apply at https://molina.imigrasi.go.id/ and the cost is about $35. I traveled on China Airlines from SFO - DPS via TPE.  Be prepared for a long travel day if you are coming from the USA. It was about 17 hours of flying each way between the two flights. I think flights may be even longer from the East Coast. I didn't eat much on my first flight, but the food was decent on all remaining flights that I took. I pre-ordered a lactose-free meal since I am lactose intolerant. They were accommodating of other dietary restrictions as well. The seats were not particularly comfortable especially on the longer flight. The plane seemed to be a bi
