Nighty-Night: Sleep Tight



It's happened to all of us. Had too much caffiene before bed, didn't relax until it was time to sleep, wasn't tired at all. Whatever your problem, insomnia can make you super tired and cranky the next day if you dont stop it. Here are some great tips for falling asleep faster:

Spray a comforting scent. I wouldn't recommend spraying a sweet of citrusy scent, because that tends to wake your body up. Try something like Lavender Chamomile Body Spray I spray mine over my sheets a few minutes before I lay down, and the scent is so calming. I also love to burn candles. Bath And Body Works has some fantastic ones to choose from.

Relax! When you're running around all day you probably are still wide awake at bed time. Try taking a soothing bath, reading a pleasure book, or drawing/ writing. It's a great way to lose all of the stress that accumulates in your mind throughout the day.

Control your caffiene. in addition to not being healthy for you, caffiene will make you buzz, not sleep. If you want to have a coffee, a soda, or chocolate (which is chock-full of the stuff), try to not eat  or drink it after 7-8 P.m., depending on when you want to go to bed.

What's your favorite way to end the day?

Trend-Spotting: Camel Clothes


Hey girls! So a couple of nights ago I had such a crazy dream. I was sitting, front and center, at New York Fashion Week! The real crazy thing was, though, that all of the models were wearing camel-colored clothes! When I say camel, I mean a soft, brown, sort of a mix between beige and tan, close to a caramel. I mean, dont get me wrong, but I wouldn't exactly want to wear camel everywhere I go. For the next few days, I started seeing camel! At all these shops and in ads, the first color my mind saw was camel! I was totally driving me nuts. But then I started thinking, Hey. Camel's a nice color. It's soft, and really wearable. It got me thinking.  You could go all out in camel, or incorparate a few pieces into your wardrobe. It's a great color for fall, because it's not super bright, it's kinda muted. Here are some fantastic pieces that I found online:

Butter London Nail Polish!




Hey girls! Have you ever tried those Butter London nail polishes? I totally fell in love with them after seeing tons of beauty gurus talk aout how great they are. I only have four of their colors, though. They're: Teddy Girl, Knees Up, Cheeky Chops, and Henley Regatta. Super cute name aside, each polish has very good consistency, and has a clean finish. They are a bit pricey, and run about $14 in the U.S. I bought mine at Ulta, but you can also start your collection at http://www.butterlondon.com/ I think these are good investments, and a great gift idea for a nail polish adict like my self!

I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream!

Hey guys! So today my mom asked me if I wanted anyting from the grocery store. I asked her for some ice cream, and so she brought me some of the yummiest ice cream that I've EVER tasted! It was Edy's Fun Flavors in Drumstick. I've never really liked the "drumstick" type of ice cream before this, but it's really delicious. It's basically just chocolate-coated peanuts(yum!) and pieces of come in vanilla ice cream with swirls of fudge. It's just so good that I had to blog about it. I hope this didn't bore you too much.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?

Be sure to let me know if you like when I review food items like this!
