Now, who said that bedtime routines had to be boring? The last thing you have to do to end your day is to do a routine that feels dull. If you want to get up the next day looking and feeling gorgeous, you don’t have to go about it in a monotonous way. Why not go about it in a more luxurious? Yep! You can make that bedtime routine of yours feel like it’s more on the luxury side.
This doesn’t mean that you have to use high-end products (granted, they probably help the illusion), there’s just something luxurious about all the self-pampering and love that you give yourself prior to falling asleep. Think of it as a ritual, a ritual that helps make your life feel all the more glamorous. So, with that said, here’s exactly what you can do to make it feel like that!
It All Starts with Setting the Scene
So, you’ll want to create some ambiance that feels relaxing—this is key! Plus, you can make this feel romantic (like romanticising your life because of how aesthetically pleasing it will all be). Start by dimming the lights or using soft, warm-toned lighting to signal to your brain that it’s time to wind down.
It helps to use lamps rather than overhead lights, as this will help with the dimness. But if you want to take this a step further, which really creates those luxurious vibes, then why not go ahead and start lighting some candles?
You’re specifically going to want candles with calming scents like lavender or chamomile to soothe your senses. Like what we saw from influencers (in those Day of My Life videos) and even movies, you can still take it up a notch above that. You can play some gentle music or nature sounds to further enhance the tranquil atmosphere while you get ready for bed. Now, this big wall of text might make it sound like a lot of work, but all of this can be done literally within one minute!
Get That Bed Prepared
No matter how cute your room is, how nice it smells, or even how dark the bedroom is, if your bed isn’t comfortable, then what’s the purpose of all of this work? Your bed is going to be the one blocking you from having a good night’s sleep! What are you after for your bed? Do you want an electric adjustable bed so your body will be propped up? Are you looking to sag into your bed as if you’re sleeping on a cloud? What about the pillows?
Better yet, what about the bedding itself? Cheap bedding isn’t nice to sleep on, nor is it good for the skin either. When you get the chance, try to invest in high-quality bedding made from natural fibers like cotton or linen for ultimate comfort (you’ll feel the difference, especially if you’ve been using polyester).
You’re also going to want to fluff up your pillows and maybe even add a weighted blanket for added comfort and to promote a deeper sleep. A lot of hotels have pillow spray, so you could spray that on your pillow, too.
Start Unplugging
Many people are guilty of getting on their phones while they’re lying in bed. You should definitely avoid this! It’s all too easy to fall into the trap of scrolling through our phones late into the night. Instead, get yourself to start disconnecting from screens at least an hour before bedtime. It helps quiet the mind if you do this. Plus, what’s even luxurious about getting glued to your phone? There’s nothing romantic there! Happy sleeping!
