Our Daily Lives by Kat Pham

Evening Routine Everybody has their own evening routine, whether it be a ten-step skincare regime or reading a chapter of a book, every person has their own way of unwinding after a long day. The routine isn’t forever, it changes depending on a plethora of environmental influences.

When you’re little, it is usually something simple: shower, brush your teeth, maybe a bedtime story, and then you’d sleep. As you get older, many things change. You may prefer to shower in the morning now, so that it refreshes you before you head to work or school. Sometimes you might come home late after going out and crash onto the bed with your outside clothes on. My routine allows me to decompress and clear my headspace for the night. After coming home from class or work, I instantly change into pajamas and remove my makeup. The best feeling is wiping off all the dust and sweat resulting from a tiring day and taking a shower. After washing up, I like to jump into bed and watch ASMR cooking videos to clear my mind and unwind. What’s your evening routine? Whatever it may be, I hope it allows you to decompress and get good sleep.

Everyone deserves a proper evening routine.
