My Five Favorite Evening Routine Essentials
I love routines.
My therapist once told me that I’m an entrepreneur at life, which basically means that the part of me that is always seeking to improve, hack, and streamline never shuts off. It’s not relegated to my business world.
I apply it to everything.
It shouldn’t surprise you at this point. I’ve shared my morning routine, my kids’ evening routine, and now it’s time to share my own evening routine!
Now, let me start by saying that I have not always been in a space of life where my evening routine looks any fancier than shoving food into my mouth after babies are asleep and falling asleep to the piercing blue glow of my laptop.
But life is different now. For one, my entire family now sleeps within 200 square feet of each other, at opposite ends of a rolling Pringle can.
But also, things are different now because I know that how I prepare my body, mind, and spirit for rest directly impacts the way I wake up the following day, and how much energy I have to meet the day.
I want to set myself up as best as I can, which is why I take my rest so seriously.
Play hard; rest hard.
Here are the things that help me rest well.
Hatch Restore
Okay, I know I’ve talked about this product before. But I cannot tell you how helpful this has been to my health and wellbeing, and you better believe it made the cut when we were downsizing to stuff our 3,000 square feet worth of stuff into our Airstream. The soft light feature is perfect for reading at night, and there are even guided meditations you can use to find some peace before bed.
Hemp Gummy Bears
These hemp gummy bears came recommended by THE Poosh, so I had high hopes (no pun intended). I was not disappointed! These little guys help me fall asleep and stay asleep. I knew transitioning from sleeping in my home to sleeping on the road could be interesting, and I’m glad I have these in my toolbox.
Pink Moon Milk Collagen Latte
I can’t remember the last time I went a day without having collagen in some form. Vital Proteins is my go-to, and this Moon Milk Latte has been the perfect way to wind down at the end of the day. Doesn’t it drive you crazy when you crave a warm coffee drink when you’re cozied up in bed? Not the right time for caffeine! This drink satisfies that craving but actually helps me sleep instead of keeping me up.
B. Chill Honey
B. Chill Honey is a hemp honey with no THC that works with you to help your body produce melatonin. While this honey is an integral part of my evening routine, I’ve also used it durning the day if I’m feeling especially anxious or stressed to help me relax. As the name suggests, it helps me chill out without feeling sleepy!

Lavender Oil in a Sleek Diffuser
There’s nothing better than running a diffuser at night. Not only does it keep my skin from getting too dry since it acts like a mini humidifier, but lavender is an old faithful scent when it comes to a peaceful night sleep. I love this sleek black diffuser and this lavender is the most quality, potent lavender oil I’ve tried!
And that’s how I get good sleep in an Airstream! Although, even when I slept in a house, I used these five favorite ingredients to get a good night’s rest.
