Now I know what you all are thinking, Monday nights suck. It is the first day back from the weekend and you definitely don’t want to wake up early the next morning.
What if I told you that there was a way to have a productive, but relaxing Monday night? I’m not kidding. Here are 8 ingredients to make your night a great start to the week.
1. Look the part!
I always embrace the model, “Look good, feel good.” One of my favorite pieces is Aeropostale’s seriously stretchy denim. It doesn’t feel like I am wearing jeans! They hug my body in all the right places. The line includes versatile and on-trend jeans for everyone #BestDenimEver! To look at the options go to http://bit.ly/2vRkRv6!
2. Get your hair out of your face
It’s easy to lose focus when your hair is constantly falling in your face. That’s why I hairspray it back with Bed Head by TIGI Hard Head Hairspray. This hairspray dries instantly and has a strong relentless hold on my fly away hairs. I put my hair in a ponytail, then spray back the rest that doesn’t fit! Your hair shouldn’t be in control of your focus, go to http://bit.ly/2wb0oDR to get yours now!
3. Grab your Erin Condren Hardbound LifePlanner!
The week becomes much easier when it is already planned out for you. Sit down, grab a pen and start writing your assignments, meetings and plans for as far ahead as you can. Luckily, the Erin Condren Hardbound LifePlanner is set for 18 months! This sleek, bound covered life planner is for any gal on the go because it is the smallest life planner available. If you don’t have one of these planners yet, check out http://bit.ly/HCxECHBLPLM.
4. Hydrate with a Spindrift Sparkling Water!
Hydration is key to feeling relaxed and refreshed the next morning. Spindrift is the only sparkling water made with real, squeezed fruit! The only calories come from the real fruit. You can shop whichever Spindrift flavor you want at Whole Foods Markets, Trader Joe’s, Target or online at https://shop.spindriftfresh.com/.
5. Treat yourself with Hi-Chew candies!
Hi-Chews are made with real fruit flavor, and a fun chewy texture. They come in Grape, Cherry, Banana, Strawberry, Mango, Green Apple, Kiwi, Lemon, Lime and Grapefruit. My personal favorite is Green Apple because of its sour kick! The best thing about these candies is that they are gluten free and contain 0 grams of trans fat. Even though you are “treating” yourself, you don’t have to feel bad about it because they don’t incorporate unhealthy ingredients. You can find specific locations to find them at http://bit.ly/2uQFsCv.
6. You know how I said hydrate earlier? Now it is time to hydrate your skin!
I love my Freeman Feeling Beautiful Rejuvenating Cucumber + Pink Salt Clay Mask! It relaxes and exfoliates my skin. I personally get dry skin in the colder months, so this mask is perfect for those of you who have dry skin because it detoxes and hydrates your complexion. It’s easy to use too! All you have to do is apply over dry, clean face avoiding contact with your eyes, leave on 7-10 minutes, dd warm water to message with and exfoliate and rinse!

7. Get tan!
Just because it’s fall, doesn’t mean you have to lose your tan. With L’Oréal Paris Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Towelettes, you can be tan again! The great thing about these towelettes are that they are easy to store because they are so small, but don’t judge a product by its size. It packs a punch and gets you from ghostly to beach bum within in 2-4 hours of use! This goes along with that saying I said earlier, “Look good, feel good.” To find L’Oréal products like this one, visit http://bit.ly/2sQdsco.
8. Last, but not least, brush your teeth!
To feel completely refreshed you need to brush your teeth. Not only is it to feel refreshed, but to keep your teeth healthy! Brushing twice a day helps prevent cavities, and nobody wants those. If you are afraid the dorms get bacteria on your toothbrush, then use a Steripod! Steripod clip on toothbrush protectors fits any toothbrush. Just clip on the protective “pod” to keep away nasty airborne contaminants and cross contamination from other toothbrushes. With flu season around the corner this is a must have.
