International Women’s Day

As we all celebrate International Women's Day, it is essential to acknowledge the incredible achievements and contributions of women worldwide. It can be easy to overlook the importance of self-care amidst your busy life and countless responsibilities. This International Women’s Day Feather & Down are shining a light on the significance of prioritising our well-being and self-care.

Quality sleep is the cornerstone of good health and well-being. Yet, many women struggle to achieve the recommended amount of rest due to stress, anxiety, and other factors. Sleep deprivation not only effects our physical health but also impacts our mental and emotional state, leading to decreased productivity, mood swings, and even long-term health issues.

Creating a calming night-time routine can significantly improve the quality of your sleep and enhance your overall well-being. Incorporating some essential steps into a routine can elevate the experience, promoting relaxation and tranquillity.

Here are our top tips to help you form the perfect night-time routine:

1. Start with a soothing bath: relax after a long day with a luxurious bath, which will help melt away tension and prepare your body and mind for sleep. @Bath Essence
2. Set the mood, create a serene atmosphere in your bedroom by lighting a candle or using an oil burner. The soothing scent of lavender and chamomile will envelop you in tranquillity. @Oil Burner
3. Unwind with some body care to nourish the skin and provide hydration, leaving it feeling velvety-smooth. The feel of gentle softness applied in steady massage movements can help reduce stress and induce calm. @Magneium Body Butter
4. Slip into Comfort: wrap yourself in cosy pyjamas and soft blankets to give you a sense of comfort and warmth. Wind down with a good book to elevate this step even more.
5. Use a Pillow Spray or Rollerball to signal to your body that it is time to sleep and let your mind and body drift off into a peaceful slumber. @Perfect Partners

This international Women’s Day, consider giving someone you love (or yourself!) a thoughtful and practical gesture, that also promotes self-care, an essential aspect of overall well-being. Self-care isn't a luxury; it's a necessity. So, here's to celebrating the incredible women in our lives and honouring ourselves.

Embrace self-care and give the gift of sleep.
