Five Steps to a Restful Night of Sleep with TYLENOL® PM

November 24, 2017

I have received information and materials from ©Johnson & Johnson Consumer Inc. 2017. The opinions stated are my own. This is a sponsored post. #ForBetterTomorrows #BetterTomorrows #FallBack #CollectiveBias

A little over a month ago, I was “casually” browsing adoptable dogs online when I came across a teeny, tiny puppy named Flynn who was in need of a forever home. His adorable appearance and adjective-laced biography quickly won me over and, before we knew it, my husband and I were bringing little Flynn home. Being a family of four has come with its challenges, the two most prevalent being a decrease in sleep and an increase in bumps, bruises, and puppy bites.

I may be guilty of not quite fully thinking through what the reality of a puppy would be like in our lives. Flynn, our new addition, is a bundle of puppy energy and curiosity. Sometimes this results in him hurling his little body at either my husband or myself full force; other times it takes the shape of accidentally nipping us during a play session. However it happens, I have noticed that my poor body has been riddled with various bruises and scratches since he came home. You know, the kind you don’t notice at the time of injury but the type you are suddenly acutely aware of when you’re unable to drift off to sleep at night due to lingering aches and pains.

Just like everyone else, my busy schedule does not have room in it for a poor night of sleep, particularly now that we have fewer hours of daylight to accomplish things in. Luckily, I have picked up a few tips and tricks over the years to ensure that I quickly fall into a deep, restful sleep, regardless of what is going on in my life. With the help of TYLENOL® PM and my recipe for Soothing Sleepy Time Golden Milk, you too can enjoy one peaceful night of sleep after another.

Gratitude and February in Review

February 28, 2017

I’m going to try something new this month and combine my two monthly wrap up posts into one. Often times the events and experiences I share in my month in review posts are the very things I’m grateful for, so combining the two only makes sense. If you do not like this concept, please don’t hesitate to let me know. I can separate the two posts out again next month if it is preferable.

February was one jam packed month, somehow containing both a trip down to San Diego and one up to Seattle. It was wonderful to see my former home cities, though both visits brought up a lot of memories and emotions. It all made for a very eventful and speedy month.

Aperol Grapefruit Splash – A Valentine’s Day Cocktail

February 6, 2017

One of the things I love the most about traveling in Italy is that I can find a perfect Aperol Spritz around every corner. For an Aperol-loving girl like myself, it is literally heaven on Earth. Of course, at some point, the vacation has to come to an end and I am inevitably forced to return home to a country that hasn’t quite perfected the use of Aperol in cocktails.

Following this last trip to Venice however, I decided to bring the taste of Italy back with me in the form of this refreshingly light Aperol Grapefruit Splash. A drink that, thanks to its gorgeous blood orange color, just so happens to also make the perfect Valentine’s Day cocktail.

January in Review

January 26, 2017

Upon returning home from Europe, my husband and I were hit by jetlag surprisingly hard and it took us a few weeks to get back to functioning at full capacity. This peek into my January therefore is really only a look at the two and a half weeks of the month we were somewhat recovered and out and about during. Jet lag or not, I’m quite pleased with how much fun we managed to cram into a relatively short period of time!
