The night before

 Hey candy girls! Back to school has come, sadly. For some, you have already started school, but if you're like me, you haven't yet. Personally, the main thing I care about is how I spend the night before the first day. I spend more time planning my night routine than I would like to admit.. Anyways, I am going to share my night routine with you candy girls to help you build your perfect night!

First is obvi an everything shower. I was my hair twice, use a hair mask, shave everything, and wash my body. 

Then I will pluck my eyebrows and shave my face. My eyebrows are very thick and bushy, so shaping them is a must. If you have never shaved your face before, I def recommend! It allows your skincare to be more effect and your makeup to apply and look smoother. 

And now, skincare. Skincare is obvi an every night thing, but the night before the first day I like to do some extra things. Maybe a face mask or some under-eye patches! 

Next, I will dry my hair. I genuinely hate drying my hair.. It is such a workout. I have long, thick hair that never dries. But it always looks so shiny and doesn't get greasy as fast when I blow dry it. 

Picking out my outfit is for sure the hardest part of the night. But easily the most fun. Sometimes I will already have an idea of what I want to wear. I also like to try on the outfit to see if it looks good and save me from possibly, a stressful morning. I also like the plan my outfits for the rest of the week. 

I like to paint my toenails too, although, I never have my feet out for school.. It just makes me feel more put together. I usually don't have my nails done because of cheer, but if I do, they would be done a few days before. 

Then I will get my school bag ready. It's usually already packed, but I'll look through it and see if I have everything and maybe rearrange it a bit. 

And after all the hard work of the night, it's time to wind down. This is when I start getting ready for bed. 

I will read for about 30 mins to an hour depending on what time it is. This allows my body to know it's almost time to sleep and will relax me.

Then, I like to meditate and do some yoga that will help me sleep. Doing this really helps me calm down and I fall asleep so much faster. Which is def needed on the night before the first day. 

I will prob check that my alarms are set and run through my morning routine in my head. Then I will start to fall asleep! 

If you can't tell, I love having my day planned out. I wouldn't say I'm completely type A but I def have some traits like it. Anyways, I hope this helped you get some inspiration for your night routine. And of course, I wish you candy girls an amazing school year!!

Yours truly,

Candygirl 💋
