Hi! I'm Kassie and this is my Nightly Routine on a good night
sometimes I just come home and pass out, but this is a good night, so I hope you enjoy it!
If I want to have a very good sleep then going to bed starts quite early and I make
sure that for dinner I have something very light and digestible.
tonight I went to Golden Aura to try out some living foods
there's this rug carpet in the corner where you can just kick your shoes off and
jump right in
and enjoy your food. To drink I had Kombucha. They had some really nice
raspberry Kombucha
by Ethical Soda. Which is a Vancouver-based company.
I had the slaw on the side, which was nuts and Italian parsley,
and some carrots and cabbage and it had a very nice sauce on it. I'm not quite sure
what the sauce was, but it was very amazing.
The sandwich that I had was very light and it had some sprouts and carrots and
avocado and is very light vegan
tzatziki. It was filling for the size. You guys know that I like fermented
foods and raw foods
that place is just a breath of fresh air for me. It's in Kitsilano.
And it was fantastic! So after that, I go home.
The first thing I do besides locking the door and putting my key away. Is I change
into my robe that my mom brought me from the middle east and I wear it every day it.
Since my parents are home, I can't really walk around in my underwear anymore, so I
walk around in that pretty much for the rest of the night. So after that I head over to the
bathroom and
I wash my face. What I use is a green clay
konjac sponge. It's actually French green clay and I got it online.
It was about five dollars and I put my Juice Beauty Cleanser on top of it as well
as some
Niko organic cleanser as well, just because I got it and
I didn't really know how to use it. But ever since I got the konjac sponge, it's been the perfect
combination.
I prepare it so it looks like a little cake and I wet the konjac sponge and I put it on my face
and basically rub all of the makeup off.
I don't use a makeup remover at this point. I don't really need to, just because
what I do completely takes my makeup off and I don't have any problems
I keep rinsing the sponge under the water and cleansing my face and I keep doing that until
all my makeup is completely gone. I've heard so many great things about the konjac sponge.
It really lives up to its expectations. Some people don't like it but it really
really exfoliates gently which is so important to me.
I don't like to use a crazy abrasive exfoliant on my face because I feel
it's bad for your skin and gives you wrinkles. It may get all the dead skin off
but I don't wanna get it off that abrasively.
I get all my makeup off and then after that I put some Apple Cider Vinegar in water
and
use a little cotton pad and put it on my face. The konjac sponge is extremely alkaline so you
really have to rebalance your skin
otherwise the results will be short-lived. So once I rebalance my skin's PH
with the apple cider vinegar mixed with water, my skin feels
soft like a baby's bottom and it's time for moisturizer.
I put on my pie skincare eye cream and it's the echium eye cream. It's sooooo
amazing and I want to buy everything from the line but I
can't afford it so I just got the eye cream, because they feel like the eye area is the
most important.
I like to use avocado oil on my face and neck, but not too much.
I always dump way too much into my hand just because it's in a bottle that
wasn't really meant to be applied topically
and I put it on my face and my neck and oftentimes I even put it on my body as well.
But I didn't shower tonight, just because I like to avoid the shower
if I can. I'm lazy and I'm a minimalist
so if I don't have to shower, I don't do the avocado oil. So I didn't do it
tonight but when I'm in shower, I shave with it
and I just put it all over and it makes me feel so soft and smooth after.
Your skin absorbs it quite quickly--well in my experience. My only issue with the apple
cider vinegar
and the avocado oil is the smell.
Apple cider vinegar smells like feet and avocado oil smells like barbecue.
My Boyfriend always tells me I smell like a barbecued foot in the night time.
But I like the results so I keep doing it
and a brew some herbal tea before bed I find that it actually
works. A lot of nighttime teas don't really work, but I go to a very nice herbal store and buy a bunch of
herbs and make myself very nice tea. It's a warm steep in boiling water.
and it smells amazing
just put the herbs in some already boiled water and let it sit for 15 minutes and then you
just strain it out. And it really really helps you relax. And it helps me with anxiety that
I get in my stomach that keeps me from sleeping. I also like to make a little
midnight snack with the tea.
I get hungry often. In my
midnight snack I have Brazil Nuts, Cherries, Blueberries as well as some
sauteed carrots
and mushrooms, because my boyfriend every morning makes a ton
sauteed carrots and mushrooms. I like to eat them, because they're very good and
they're very healthy as well. So I have that as a midnight snack along side with my tea.
Just minutes before bed, I'll put on a record. I have a pretty extensive record collection.
Just because I really like the way records sound. I really like the way the
needle sounds on the record.
It just sounds so goood. Tonight I picked Elliott Smith
"Either/Or", it's one of my favourite albums ever.
Elliott Smith was a very interesting and passionate person.
His music is just so beautiful and so relaxing. So I put that on
I'll drink the rest of my tea and listen to that and maybe eat a few things as well.
Earlier when I was talking about how I like to start planning for bed
as my last meal. I learned that actually from very close friend. He's a dentist
and he told me that dental hygiene and
good health happens if you respect bedtime. If you go to bed early
health and hygiene and treating yourself well will follow,
because if you go to bed early, you're going to have time to brush your teeth
and just have this nightly routine instead of coming home late and
showing disregard for bedtime and how
awesome and sacred it could be. Going to bed early is
a good thing, in my opinion. And a lot of people think it's kinda lame, but I
really get a lot of stuff out of the way and it gives me a lot of time to relax
and unwind.
When I go to bed early, I wake up early. It allows me to
have a good breakfast and brush my teeth and relax before work.
I use a toothpaste by Jason and I really like it.
It's a bit of a more natural toothpaste than normal and
I like it for that. So I use that. I've been using it for quite some time
I switched to Tom's for a bit but I didn't really like it. The Jason toothpaste
really keeps makes keep white,
so I really like that. After I brush my teeth, I go to bed.
So that is my nightly routine. I hope you guys enjoyed it.
