Anyone who expects a 20step nighttime routine from me would be disappointed 🤣🤣🤣 I'm more girl next door than supermodel when it comes to my nighttime ritual before bed.

𝘚𝘏𝘖𝘞𝘌𝘙

First I take a cold 🚿 and just in case you're wondering why not a warm shower it's because our weather here is usually hot and of course electricity is as epileptic as they come so it's never guaranteed to stay on all through the night so a cold shower has always been my choice with just a soap.

Next, I brush my teeth 😁 need to get rid of all the day's junk and keep these babies as pearly as possible.

𝘊𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘔?

I use a cleanser (an avocado-based one) which over time I have found works wonders for me plus it doesn't lighten my skin 🤩
Then apply my Menotone face cream with lemon extracts 💯 and although I don't use a separate night lotion I do apply my body cream to my hands and legs 🦵 lol but not on my entire body 🤣🤣🤣 got to keep the electricity in mind

𝘎𝘐𝘝𝘌 𝘛𝘏𝘈𝘕𝘒𝘚

Only a grateful heart will acknowledge a gift when one is given and waking up alone is a massive gift if you ask me then add to that surviving the same day that claimed the lives of so many all over the world.

At this point, I say my nighttime prayer of thanks before hopping into bed.

𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘋, 𝘔𝘜𝘚𝘐𝘊 𝘖𝘙 𝘚𝘖𝘔𝘌𝘛𝘐𝘔𝘌'𝘚 𝘉𝘖𝘛𝘏

I like to read before going to sleep which is why I have a few online novel apps instilled on my phone but of course, at night, I ensure my mobile is set to the night mood because the bright lights can be distracting especially when you're trying to sleep. 🔆 but there are also times when I just pop in my earpiece and lay back while the music soothes me off to sleep 🛌 but there have been a few other times where I might read a bit then listen to some music before lights out.

So that's all I have for this week's entry 🤗 can't thank the ladies of hive enough for these awesome weekly questions, having loads of fun with it.

At this point I would like to invite @irene99 to participate in this contest, I did notice you are already in the ladies of hive community but haven't joined a contest yet 😉 this week's questions are general so I hope you do decide to join in and tell us those hidden nighttime routines that make your skin glow that much 🆒

Thank you so so much 🤗🤗 and thank you for the compliment,I will be passing it onto Sophia as well.

Please do!

I may be trying a few audio books as I often have some difficulty reading especially when I am in exhausted state, music and commentary have been my usual bed time phone fare for a while.

That selfie looks great, so natural and un-staged.
Thanks @princessj190 for joining this week's LOH pajama party

Thank you so much for the compliment ☺ I'll pass it along to Sophia 🤗
I haven't really tried audio books myself but now that you've said it I can see how that would have it's merit plus you wouldn't need to stress yourself, just lay back, plug in your earpiece, close your eyes and let someone else read you the story 🤗🤗🤗 got to love this computer age.
Thank you so much for reading and most especially for the support.

I make my skin moisturize with ice cubes

Ice cubes?, how do you do that?, 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ off to check your page 😁 hoping you got an entry to the contest posted.

😔 there is no post of how you make your moisturizer

Hello @princessj190. Thanks for your entry into the contest. Now, that's a night-time ritual that doesn't take any time at all. Reading lulls me to sleep also.

I love the photo of you and the other lovely lady.

Take care, and stay safe. Have a good rest of your week.

Good luck in the contest.

You know it 😄 I wouldn't be able to keep up with any longer routine every single night but this one has worked great for me so far.
Thanks for the compliment, will make sure to pass it on to my friend and thank you for reading and for the support.

I think I would sleep better if I had a better night ritual. Giving thanks is surprisingly important. Many people don't realize that it actually imparts physical health benefits!

I live in Canada, and it is cold here now. When I visited Thailand a few years ago, what was strange was I didn't realize there was no hot water in my shower until I was there for three weeks. I was so hot and the shower was nice and cool, but not cold because the sun warmed the water to some extent. It was a tepid shower. So, I think I know what you mean about the cold shower.

Great entry. You answered BOTH questions. I am lucky if I can find the energy to answer one each week! However, it's more interesting this way.

Maybe you do have a nighttime routine yet but just don't realize it because it's small stuff you tend to do automatically 😁😁 I'm sure if we look in deep we will find that routine hidden deep inside.

Lives in Canada as well with her kids and from their accounts the cold is 🥶 I always compliment them on toughing it out because I don't know if I would be able to lol gotten too used to my HOT African weather.

Most times I answer one out of the 2vquestions but this week wanted to show of my cute selfie pic 🙈
Thank you for reading and engaging 💕

Thanks for calling out to me.
Your work is well written and i also like to take cold baths before bed.

You look cool. You use menotone face cream, wow! I know that product, it works like magic. Nice choice.

Glad you decided to answer and join in🤗🤗
Menotone is the bomb for me 😉 I have used a few more expensive face creams in the past but they were likely to hash and ended up lightening my skin which is a big no for me so finally finding one that works and maintains my complexion is awesome.

You received 5 LADY(LOH) tokens for entering the ladies of Hive contest.

Please note that since our LOH token is still so new, that it will be worth more if we HOLD them for a bit before trying to sell them. Some have been trying to sell them immediately after receiving them, but holding them for a bit will help them to increase in value! We are working behind-the-scenes to try to keep the price stable, but the "sell orders" are hampering the stabilization of the price of this new token. Please hold on to your tokens. Thank you! 🙂

Tenga en cuenta que, dado que nuestro token LOH todavía es tan nuevo, valdrá más si los MANTENEMOS por un tiempo antes de intentar venderlos. Algunos de ustedes han estado tratando de venderlos inmediatamente después de recibirlos, ¡pero retenerlos por un tiempo les ayudará a aumentar su valor! Estamos trabajando entre bastidores para tratar de mantener estable el precio, pero las "órdenes de venta" están obstaculizando la estabilización del precio de este nuevo token. ¡Considere esperar! ¡Gracias! 🤗

Ladies of Hive Thank You.png
