Bedside Essentials

Your bedside table is one of the last things you see before you go to bed each night and one of the first things you see when you wake up in the morning. I like to make mine pretty and have some of my favorite things at the ready when I need them.

First, I like to have water first thing when I wake up in the morning so why not make it pretty and special with a carafe like this or this? I know you probably have one in your guest room so why not treat yourself to something special each morning just like you would want for yourself guests.

I like to put lotion on my hands before I goto bed and in the morning as needed. This lotion offers the most intoxicating scents that it helps me have sweet dreams. I also like this one and this one as a little luxury before bedtime.

I need it completely dark when I sleep so often times I use this mask to help make a trip to dreamland that much easier. The silk feels so nice on my skin and eyes it is such a treat to use. I love the saying on this one too. Now, I don’t have a silk pillowcase yet but I am going to add one soon as I really like the silk mask. My hesitation has been it won’t match my existing bedding setup. I will just tuck it under my pillows that do match so it doesn’t ruin my room decor. I’ll likely get this one or this one. The benefits are so amazing and whatever helps my hair and wrinkles, I am on board.

It would be rude of me not to share my new favorite beauty tool. I swear this works! I have been so skeptical but I got a gift card for Xmas and so I splurged and got one. I do 5-10 minutes a day (most days) and if you just work once side of your face before the other you will see it is lopsided! So I swear this works! Ask me any questions as I was the largest skeptic but I am sold! It is the cost or even less than one facial and you can use it over and over. How is that for price per use?!

And lastly why not take a stem or two out of your weekly Trader Joe’s bouquet and put a few stems at your bedside in a little bud vase?
