My Morning Coffee

Waking up 30 minutes ahead of other is the right time to pay yourself first.

After doing my daily rituals, I indulge myself with a hot cup of coffee and meditate on beautiful things as I listen to the silence of the early morning.

For A Relaxing Night Sleep

I always look forward at the end of the day for a relaxing night sleep.

Here are some tips I can share with you. Everyday at 6 o'clock in the evening. I start preparing my rituals on scents. I use scented candles, pot pourri and linen spray, but wait, avoid  sensory overload. My favorite scents are lavender, rosemary eucalyptus and wood. They are all good for me. You can also choose your favorite scent, but be sure that they are relaxing keep a mix of different kinds of smells and reflect your different moods to create a satisfying, relaxing and calm night sleep. Lastly, after a hot shower, grab a cup of camomile tea before bed.

Happy blogging! :)
