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

Oceania! Australia + New Zealand

Image
I was traveling to Sydney, Australia for work, so I decided to add on another week and turn it into a work/vacation combo trip. During this trip, I visited Queenstown, New Zealand and Cairns, Australia in addition to Sydney. I referenced an itinerary for ideas of what to do, but I modified it to fit my own schedule and interests, so I'll be explaining in detail what exactly I did below. If you prefer to consume this content in video form or to see more visual details, please check out my Youtube videos ( New Zealand , Australia ). Wednesday, January 29 - Thursday, January 30 This was the start of my trip. I left home around 7:30pm for a 10:45pm flight out of SFO. This was a 13 hour flight to Aukland, New Zealand which was 21 hours ahead of San Francisco. Due to the time difference, it was Friday morning when I got off the plane, so I'll just use this space to talk about the flight. I flew on United Airlines in premium economy. I would definitely recommend this for a long-haul ...

Relationship Red Flags

Many of us, myself included, have unfortunately had relationships that were lacking in many ways. I've decided to summarize some of the red flags and things I overlooked from my past relationships, partially for my own benefit and partially in case it helps someone else avoid the same mistakes. Red Flag #1: They have untied loose ends from a prior relationship Having unresolved issues with someone they dated before you is a sign that this person jumps from relationship to relationship. By doing this, they don't take the time to properly learn and grow from each relationship before going into the next one. I had an ex in this scenario. He ended up deprioritizing me at times to handle the unresolved issues with the other person. This was a sign that he had a lack of respect for me and our growing relationship. This ended up manifesting itself in other areas later in our relationship which will be illustrated in the next red flag as well. Red Flag #2: They don't want to commit...

March + April Health Goal Update

As promised in my   2025 Health Goals , here is the monthly goal update for February. Here is the emoji key that I i'm using for reference: 😃💚 - very happy with the result 😕💛 - ok with the result but some room for improvement 😠🔴 - not happy with the result March: # of pounds lost: 1.8  😕💛 # of workouts completed: 4  😠🔴 breakdown of # of days that I fully met, partially met or didn't meet my food goals:  😠🔴 April # of pounds lost: -0.4  😠🔴 # of workouts completed: 6  😕💛 breakdown of # of days that I fully met, partially met or didn't meet my food goals:  😠🔴   I'm not really sure what was going on in March and April. Both food and exercise were trending worse than February which is a bit surprising considering that I was out of town for the first half of February. I still made some progress but barely worked out at all which explains why the scale didn't move as much then went backwards in April. I think my current state seems to b...
