When things feel up in the air, I find it reassuring to have a grounding routine to look forward to each evening. Here is my four part pre-bed ritual I have been doing to help me unwind. I hope it can inspire you to create one too!
To Take:
I keep my supplement regimen pretty simple, but I always include something to help me feel balanced. Right now I am really enjoying the Trace Minerals Magnesium Gummies and the Lavender Glycerite by Avena Botanicals.
To Do:
Next up, I roll out my mat and delight in some ooey gooey stretching. To give my muscles an extra special attention I use the Relaxus Flexi Tapper (the best $4 I ever spent!).
To Soak:
Being from the west coast, I have always found the water to be calming and rejuvenating. For two reasons (1. Brrrr! and 2. Doing my part to social distance) I cannot quite take a dip in the ocean right now. Instead, I have been filling up my tub with Life Flo Magnesium Flakes and Carina Organics Lavender Bubble Bath. Looking at my supplements of choice, there is a definite theme going on here: muscle and stress support in a variety of ways to holistically address well-being.
To Snack:
It is not a bath without a treat! I like to create a small platter for myself that balances flavor with nutrients to enjoy during my soak. My go-to spread features fresh chopped fruit and veggies, Mary's Gone Crackers with Neighborly Farms of Vermont cheese, and some pieces of Hu chocolate.
Wow! Just typing this all up has me psyched for tonight. If you need some of this R&R in your life give one of our stores a call: 617-492-4452 for Porter and 617-208-8881 for Brighton. We’re open at 10am - 6pm Monday - Saturday and we would be more than happy to gather some of these things (or whatever self-care items suit your needs) for your own restorative evenings.
May we be happy and healthy! ~ Lauren
