For your chance to win something super duper amazing!
Hey guys, it's Wengie, welcome back to my channel, or welcome if you're new!
I hope you guys are having an awesome day!
Today I wanted to do a night routine for you guys, and you guys have been requesting this for the longest time
I'm really excited because this video was partnered with Michael Todd
Thank you guys, so much for sponsoring this video!
I'll be sharing with you guys their Soniclear cleansing brush
Other thing you guys always ask me about is my bralettes, I've linked it down below
So I've included some night routine hacks, DIYs, and tips in there
Of course, this is not a night routine I do every night, cause gosh who has time for that?
If you guys aren't part of my family already, I encourage you guys to join
There's the subscribe button floating on screen, or if you're on a mobile device it is down below
And if you guys are part of my family, you know the drill, let's get this video to 15,000 thumbs up!
That would make me SO excited!
Let's get straight on to the video! My hair is caught in my eyelash
The first thing I like to do when I get home is to change my clothes, and yes, that means no pants
Once I'm comfortable, I basically spend my night either editing, answering emails, or doing some sort of work
And a great hack to get me through this time is to use scents that promote concentration and memory
Like lemon, peppermint, and rosemary to help me stay focused and to wake me up
You can either brew a tea for some hydrating aromatherapy, or burn a candle
or use a scent stick at your desk
Scent associations can help you kick yourself into gear as you start to link this particular smell to studying or working
Now all this hard work is making me hungry. So it's off to grab a snack!
A really healthy snack idea is to chop up some carrots and celery
And if you're craving chips actually just try baking a pita bread until it's crispy
A great hack is to serve these nommies in a place like a muffin tray
It has all the perfect compartments for each little snack and a place for dips
Beetroot hummus is actually much lower in calories than plain hummus
And you can also try other low calorie dips, like this pumpkin one
Check the labels for the lowest calorie dip if you're getting ready for summer
By spooning out your dips first, it means you won't overeat and finish the whole tub
Yep, you're welcome
My fav thing to do while munching is to, of course, watch Netflix and chill
No, no, not that kind of chill, just Netflix and chilling with the food
And if you're stuck on a show to watch, consider the documentary or foreign sections
I found some great Japanese shows like Atelier and Terrorist House
That I have loved just as much as western shows
It's also a great way to experience other cultures as well
For days when I want to save time, I love to remove my makeup using a cleansing brush
Like this one by Michael Todd, and this is the Soniclear cleansing brush
And this both removes my makeup, cleanses, and exfoliates all in one step
So it's perfect for lazy days!
Their rose milk cleanser is also super gentle and moisturising
The brush head is antibacterial and really easy to wash under running water
And the whole brush is actually waterproof
So you can use it while you shower for extra efficiency points
When I have time, I love to pamper myself with a mask, and a super easy DIY mask is to actually use honey
Honey is naturally antibacterial so it's great for acne treatment and prevention
And it's also full of antioxidants which really helps with aging
And it's also extremely moisturising and soothing, so it gives you a natural glow
And it's actually super budget friendly
And I hate it when honey sticks to my spoon so a great hack is to dip it first in coconut oil
Which is also amazing for you skin by the way, and then when you spoon the honey out, it'll just slip right out
That way you're not wasting any honey sticking on the spoon and you can accurately measure the recipe out
And plus, it's so much easier to clean!
You can mix different ingredients into honey depending on your skin concerns as well
So if you're suffering from acne, try mixing two teaspoons of honey with half a teaspoon of cinnamon
For dry skin try mixing one teaspoon of honey with one teaspoon of avocado, and one teaspoon of plain yogurt
And for sensitive skin, try two teaspoons of honey with one teaspoon of aloe vera gel
And finally if you want to brighten your complexion, try 2 teaspoons of honey with half a teaspoon of lemon juice
And then all you need to do is use a brush and brush it onto your skin
And leave it there for 30 minutes for super soft skin
And while I'm waiting for the mask, I want to show you guys this great mood hack
And it is to just simply write down three things you're grateful for every day
And also three reflections or learnings that you discovered about yourself
Just some reflection time!
And just by doing this every day you'll experience that you're happier
Without even changing anything else in your life
You have to try this even just for a month
You can even tweet it to me, my twitter is @Wengie
And I'd love to hear all the things you're grateful for and all your thoughts
After I wash my mask off, it is skin care time!
For the first step is toner, and I absolutely love using this herb water toner on just a cotton pad
It helps refresh my skin after the mask and also wipes away any addition debris I've missed on my skin
You can see how well the cleanser worked because there is nothing on my skin!
So after this I take some SK-II essence and pat it onto my skin until it absorbs
This actually really helps brighten my complexion and I notice when I stop using it
Like my skin just looks a bit more dull than normal
Now finally, I'm using this Shu Uemura oil as a way to moisturise my skin in winter
I love using oils because it's just great for your skin
And it also gives me enough slip to give myself a quick face massage
Press against your face, working your way down your neck
And then push on the pressure points behind your ears down to your collar bone
To help flush the bloating and toxins away from your face
I have linked my face massage tutorial as well if you're interested in a full on face massage
Did you know that blue base lighting can make it harder to relax and fall asleep?
So swap your night-time lights for warmer tones, like this warm yellow one I have, fairy lights, or using candles.
Also your phone screen emits a blue light as well
So going on your phone before bed can actually contribute to insomnia
So if you have trouble sleeping, try swapping out your phone for an actual physical book
Which is gentler on your eyes, and also helps you fall asleep faster when it gets, you know, a little bit boring
Mia, do you like reading too? And I love winding down with my kitties on my bed
It is literally the best experience ever!
Another great tip for relaxation is to put a few drops of lavender or jasmine scent
And hang them near your pillow for a relaxing sleep
It even helps you toss and turn less during the night
For an even better sleep, a great tip is to give yourself an eye massage
By using an electronic eye massager like myself, or use your fingers
And this helps reduce your eye strain cause we're on our phones and computers all day
So it's really great to de-stress the eyes!
Also, eye massagers can improve circulation around the eye area which reduces bloating and dark circles
Which is a total bonus as well when you wake up in the morning your eyes will look much clearer
So goodnight guys, and sweet dreams!
Let me know which is your favourite hack or tip that you found out today on this video. I would love to know!!
It's been so fun chilling with you guys, bye guys, love you!
