A Nightly Self Care Routine

-

 Here is a great nightly self care routine to make sure you fall asleep nice and early! 

1. Sleep with a dog or a different pet. They make you feel safer and like you have nothing to worry about. Also, if you are prone to watching horror movies and don’t want a demented clown to pop out of the toilet in your bathroom mirror, dogs are very good protectors. 

2. Watch the sunset
3. Allow yourself to dwell on worries for only five minutes. Write them down if it helps. Then, any more worries you have in the night- tell yourself, I’ll save those for tomorrow’s five minutes. 
4. Write down your thoughts. 
5. Journal 
6. Meditate with calming music. 
7. Smell a candle or essential oils. 
8. Put on your comfiest pjs 
9. Keep a water by your bed. 
10. Picture your favorite places, like under the sea. 
11. Stay away from high-calorie meals before bed, especially foods containing lots of salt. 
12. Brush your teeth and rinse any dental products thoroughly.  
13. If you can’t sleep, doodle in bed. 
14. Stay away from strenuous art projects. Save those for the day! 
15. Repeat your goals and affirmations under your breath as you doze off. F
16. Listen to a guided meditation. 
17. Believe in yourself
18. Sip warm tea. 
19. Stay away from your phone
20. Watch the sky as you drift off, and contemplate God’s glory

 Here is a handy to do list now that the Christmas season is really upon us. I hope this will help you stay organized while appreciating the spirit and joy of this holiday. We all know they can get a little stressful, but if we keep organized and focus on blessings and gratitude, there is nothing we can’t handle.  1. Put up your decorations. You can go minimal or bold but we all know the importance of some decor. Hopefully the second your tree is up you’ll instantly feel more Christmasy.  2. Volunteer or help someone in need. This is a little cat with special needs. Sometimes he wobbles when he walks. I love him. Spread the Christmas love this season.  3. Dream of a white Christmas, and take advantage of the snow days we do have. Snowball fights, snow angels, sledding, the possibilities are endless. Spend these days outside and don’t waste them. Take the days off from responsibilities.  4. Do your Christmas baking. Package up boxes to send to neighbors and family.  5. Test out Christma

A Socially Awkward Teen

-
 Hi! So recently, I decided to go shopping. I’m not normal a huge shopper, but it was my great grandma’s 90th birthday and I needed a nice dress for pictures. So I decided to go to Ross Dress For Less. Don’t judge me. Now, as you probably know, in a Ross Dress For Less, anything goes.  Anyway, I was having trouble finding a dress that I would wear to a 90th birthday party and not a Vegas Night Club. But I just couldn’t. So I decided I would probably wear something I already had.  But, being the homeschooled quarantine socially awkward teen that I am, I was so petrified that someone would think I had done something wrong if I didn’t buy a dress. So I got a dress and headed to the fitting rooms. I got my clothes number and headed to a stall. The lock was a bit janky but I managed. I went back out and headed for my cart but was stopped by a worker who said I needed to give him my card. I did not have my card.  He forced me to go back to the changing room TWICE but I couldn’t find anything
