Morning Routine To Start Your Day Off Right

Posted on by

Yesterday I talked about a before bed time routine and how it can really make a difference in your life. Well, today I’m going to touch on how you can also have a morning routine that will set you up for a successful day.

Each morning when you get up, before you even use the restroom make your bed. It will only take a few seconds. Okay, I know it depends on how many pillows you have on your bed, but if it takes you 5 minutes to make your bed in the morning consider tossing a bunch of the pillows out of the door. You don’t need anything that makes your life more stressful.

After you make your bed you are free to use the restroom. Then, get dressed. Why should you get dressed you ask?  Well, when you are dressed, including shoes, you are ready for anything the day may throw your way. If someone calls and wants to go to lunch you don’t have to think about it because you are already ready to walk out the door. You can go run errands and not out it off because it’s already 2 o’clock in the afternoon and you feel like lounging around in your pajamas instead of taking business because you don’t want  to get dressed. Remember, if you followed your bed time routine your clothes will already be laid out so it shouldn’t take much time at all.

Next, unload the dishwasher so it’s empty and can collect the new dirty dishes throughout the day instead of letting them build up in your sink. Figure out what you will have for dinner. This will make your night a lot less stressful so you don’t  have to think on your feet at the end of the day.

Just start with these things and then once you have these down then you can add more like starting a load of laundry etc. to your morning routine. But, if you only do these few things you’ll see a difference in no time in how your day runs.

Add Small Details And Big Impact With Personalized Napkins

Posted on by

Personalized napkins are one of the easiest ways to add style to your decor. They come in a variety of size and colors. You can even choose the color of ink you would like used to make the imprints on the napkins. With all of these options it is extremely easy to fit every wedding theme imaginable. Napkins are also a cost effective way to add more to any couple’s wedding decor.

Don’t stop at just using personalized napkins just at the reception tables. Think outside of the box. Offer a variety of shapes and sizes of napkins and use them in different locations. You can have table and  lap napkins, cocktail napkins to use for drinks and appetizers, and of course you can use them when you serve your guests the wedding cake.

Surprise your guests by adding personalized napkins in places like the bathrooms for your guests to use to dry their hands. These are much more exciting to see than the standard roll of brown paper towels. They will  be amazed at all of the details you have thought of to make your day memorable. These special little touches are what take a good reception to a fantastic reception.

15 Minute Bed Time Routine To Reduce Stress

Posted on by

A few minutes each night can make a world of a difference in how you feel in the morning and how your day will go. At the end of the day take 15 minutes to do a bed time routine to reduce stress.

In this routine, quickly run through the house to pick up any loose clutter that has accumulated through out the day. Then, wipe off your counters and make sure the dish washer is loaded and going if it is full. Set out clean dish towels on the counter or where ever you use your kitchen towels. Next pick out the clothes that you will be wearing tomorrow and lay them out so you don’t have to figure out what to put on your body when you are still half asleep in the morning, this includes shoes and any accessories you might like to add. Don’t forget to brush and floss your teeth, have a drink of water and use the restroom.

Doing these few simple tasks every night before bed will help you wake up feeling less stressed. I know when I wake up and walk out to a mess I feel like I’ve already started out defeated. If everything is clean, I feel like I can get started and have a great day. I challenge you to give this a try and see the difference it makes in your life.
