My Sleeping Potions
This eye pillow was an amazing Xmas gift from my colleague. It contains a tension-relieving infusions of what I think are flaxseed, lavender and chamomile to relax my racing mind. The pillow is made in silky satin fabric, inside of which is filled with hundreds of organic beads that provide a gentle weight on my eyes. I am not a big fan of aromatherapy, but I absolutely enjoy the subtle scents and comfort this eye pillow has provided me, for sure!
So then, this eye pillow has accompanied me to dreamland for many nights now. I admit that I have been sleeping very well despite all these work-related things that repeatedly play in my mind. I must thank G for such a magical pillow, however, I am also very grateful to have my fiance, Alex, who has been secretly rubbing J&J Bedtime Lotion on my hands, around my neck and shoulder every night to calm my sleep (how lucky am I???). Plus, this is an old remedy I used to grow up with to ease nightmare.
Next to this, there is also this lovely product that I recently discovered from Alex that may also help to improve my sleep quality. Ta... Da... !!! Yes, it is this Dr Lewinns Bio-Care oil that I am referring to! It contains a blend of some funny oils which work amazingly together to comfort my mind. As it contains lemon myrtle oil, the aromatic scent makes this product a great massaging oil. Once again, I would like to make a special thank to Alex for such a wonderful product recommendation.
Quality sleep is essential for beautiful mind and skin. Please also allow me to finish off this post with some useful tips to tackle sleeplessness:
1. Cut back on caffeine (because it almost always give people a bad headache upon waking up the next morning).
2. Correct your sleeping pattern and posture.
3. Invest your dollars on a good quality feather & down or memory foam pillow (trust me, you don't want to be stingy about investing on your own health)
4. Listen to soothing musics to calm your mind.
5. Stay away from stimulating activities just before sleep, such as PC games and horror movies.
My sincere advice is to keep away from any sort of sleeping medications what so ever. They are brilliant for short term use but overuse may result in reliance or dependence.
Enjoy your trip to dreamland.
Have a wonderful sleep.
Good night.
