Good Morning readers, how beautiful are my new white pintuck shams and duvet cover from Crane & Canopy? If you saw my Instagram post this morning then you know that I never make my bed, but I think this gorgeous new bedding deserves a little fluffing each day! Don’t you agree?
Anyway, I’m sure you’re wondering why I am randomly posting about my bedding on my blog. I’m sharing my personal room and bedding with you today in honor of National Sleep Week. Yep, that’s a thing! I can totally understand why though considering that sleep is vital to our everyday lives.
Unfortunately, I am one of those people who struggle to get enough sleep each night due to the fact that I am a true night owl. I used to not understand why I always worked more productively and efficiently at night instead of during the day, but I finally realized that it’s because there are no other distractions, well except for Friends on Nick at Night! All of my “real” friends are asleep after 10 pm so there is no one calling or texting me to talk, grab lunch or play at Homegoods. So once the clock reaches 9 pm, my alter ego kicks in and I’m ready to vacuum, clean out the fridge, organize my sock drawer, dust the entire house and even organize all of Blake’s stuff too! While all of this productivity sounds like a good thing, it’s also very bad for me because I still have to wake up early in the morning to make it to my fitness classes, run errands, write my blog posts, prepare for my photo shoots and participate in meetings and phone calls.
I’ve tried forcing myself to go to sleep, but then I just end up laying there in bed staring at the ceiling while feeling like I’m wasting valuable time! Weird, I know, but it’s like if I’m not tired I might as well be doing something useful instead of staring into space, right? Wrong! I’ve learned that it’s better for your body to rest even if your mind is racing because you’ll eventually train your body to fall asleep. I’ve also learned that it helps to turn the TV off at least an hour before you plan to go to sleep. On top of that, I recommend avoiding reading, writing, typing and texting in your bed so that your body and mind will learn to only associate sleep with your bed instead work. Lastly, I also suggest creating a reasonable to-do list at the beginning of each day. Make sure to check off each task as you go. Then at the end of the day, you’ll feel more accomplished instead of feeling like you still have so much more to do.
3 More Tips to Help You Rid of Your Night Owl Syndrome:
1) Before you go to sleep, think of something that you can look forward to in the morning to get you excited to fall asleep to make the time go by faster.
2) Don’t drink any caffeine past 3 pm.
3) Try a simple yoga or meditation routine to help you relax before bed.

Naked On The Run Palette c/o Urban Decay Cosmetics
Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today, I’m sharing my beauty on-the-go tricks with Urban Decay’s Naked On The Run palette. If you’re always running around to different meetings and events like me, you will love Urban Decay’s Naked On The Run travel kit especially if you’re one to finish your makeup in the car (not while driving). It’s also great to use for a quick touch up in between work and dinner dates if you don’t have time to stop at home. The travel kit has everything you need for that ultimate Naked look: “six ALL-NEW shades of Eyeshadow (including an extra large dose of the perfect all-over shade, 5050). Bronzer. Blush. It even comes with a full-size Naked Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss and a travel-size 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil (both new shades), plus a travel-size Perversion Mascara.”
6 On-The-Go Beauty Tips:
1) Pack your Urban Decay Naked On The Run Travel Kit for quick and easy touch-ups of course! It’s got you covered when it comes to your eyes, cheeks, lips and highlights!
2) Always keep makeup remover or face cleansing wipes in your bag to help you get rid of the smudged mascara and eyeliner beneath your eyes before reapplying. That goes for lipstick too! Dry lips with worn off lipstick is not a good look! Gently remove your old lipstick with a wipe and rub on some lip balm (I like to use Aquaphor) before applying more lipstick and/or lipgloss.
3) Keep a mini deodorant on hand! Even if you don’t stink, it will still help you feel refreshed!
4) Mini Hairspray & a hairbrush (or) comb are an absolute MUST especially if you’ve got long hair like me! Clean up your strays and detangle the ends of your hair before finishing with a light hairspray. I like to use The Wet Brush because it glides effortlessly through my tangles and eliminates all the tearing and tugging. (mini version here–> The Wet Brush Squirt) For hairspray, I like to use Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Medium Finish to spray all over my head because it’s lightweight product and it smells amazing! I also love the smell of Air Control by Aveda. **Side Note: Sometimes I like to wrap my hair into a loose bun while I drive to set loose curls. Once I arrive to my next location, I pull out the bun, tussle my roots and run my fingers through my hair to get those effortless beach like waves. I finish the look by spraying hairspray throughout my entire do!
5) Always pack your concealer or a lightweight foundation to help conceal anything that pops up on your face. I like to finish with a loose mineral powder to set the foundation.
6) Last but not least, drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day to help maintain fresh and vibrant looking skin!
I really do always keep all of these items on hand when I’m out and about! You can even ask my friends. Speaking of my friends… in my last post about the On The Run travel kit, I mentioned that I think my boyfriend and friends secretly had the Naked On The Run Palette created just for me so that they don’t have to wait on me while I pack all of my stuff to finish getting ready in the car! Just Kidding, but it really is perfect for all of us “always running behind” people.
