Having a solid nightly routine can work wonders for getting some quality shut-eye. First up, taking care of your skin with a soothing nighttime skincare routine can help signal to your body that it's time to wind down. Next, incorporating some supplements known to promote relaxation, like magnesium or melatonin, can gently nudge you towards dreamland. And, of course, slipping into some comfy pajamas that you love can make drifting off that much easier. By putting these pieces together, you're setting yourself up for a cozy and restful night's sleep. Sweet dreams!
when it comes to treating and healing under the broad spectrum of mental health, one size does NOT fit all. If affirmations give you hives, and forced positivity makes you roll your eyes so hard you strain your optic nerve, then you've come to the right place my friend. In this house, the treatment plan is liberal use of sarcasm and dark humour, a fuckton of rude words, and a soupcon of rage for flavour. Insight focus on the “in”, not the “sight”, and worksheets are worth the paper they're printed on. Patient - heal thyself! For the physicians surely won't.
Allergies? Same here! In fact, my kids do too, so here’s some products we use to keep asthma at bay and dry skin happy! *Do and choose what works for you!*
