The Busy Girl’s Guide to Winding Down: Finds for the Perfect Night In

Life’s been... a lot lately. Between running the show at work, rehearsing for my very first musical 🎭, planning a big trip back to Australia ✈️, and squeezing in some dirt biking or a hike on the weekends, I’ve had to be super intentional about slowing down.

Winding down isn’t just about "doing nothing"—it’s about doing the things that actually fill your cup. For me, that means unplugging from my phone, moving my body, slipping into cozy clothes, watching my favorite show without guilt, or reading something that makes me feel grounded.

If that sounds like your vibe too, here’s how I’ve created my ideal night-in setup—with Amazon gems and a few LiveGood essentials that help me switch off and reset.

🧘‍♀️ Step 1: Unplug & Reset Your Space

First things first—I put the phone on Do Not Disturb. No scrolling, no pings. Just peace.

💪 Step 2: Move Your Body (Gently)

Not every night needs a full workout—but movement helps me reset. I’ll go for a walk, do a slow stretch, or if I’m feeling it, a hike earlier in the evening.

  Quick, effective, and no gym required. Perfect for post-work movement.

☕ Step 3: Cut the Coffee, Keep the Ritual

I’ve been (trying to) cut back on coffee in the evenings, so I switch to calming drinks that still feel like a treat.

• Kicking Horse Coffee – Decaf
  If I still crave the comfort of a warm mug, I’ll brew the decaf version. Clean, smooth, and doesn’t mess with my sleep.

• Pukka Herbal Tea Sampler
  My current favorite: “Night Time” with chamomile and lavender. Cozy, calming, and caffeine-free.

📖 Step 4: Soul-Filling Moments

This part is sacred. I put on the kettle, open a book, or just sit outside for 10 minutes of fresh air. Sometimes, that’s all it takes to shift gears.

• The Five-Minute Journal
  For when I want to reflect but don’t have much mental space left. Quick, grounding, and actually enjoyable.

• Atomic Habits by James Clear
  One of those books that’s worth re-reading. Especially when I’m trying to balance it all without burning out.

🛁 Step 5: Comfy Clothes & Zero Guilt Screen Time

After all that, I slide into my favorite cozy outfit, turn on my comfort show (currently rewatching old faves 🙃), and let myself just chill. No guilt. No multitasking. Just good vibes.

• Amazon Essentials Lounge Set
  Soft, breathable, and perfect for binging your favorite show or journaling before bed.
