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.

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.

Strawberry Ginger Kombucha Cocktail

July 19, 2016

I will be the first to admit that over the past month and a half I have been slacking when it comes to taking care of myself. I haven’t been getting more than 6 hours of sleep a night, I haven’t been exercising as much as I need to feel good about myself, and I definitely haven’t been eating healthy enough for my liking. What I HAVE been doing is working, working some more and, oh, did I mention working?

Now let me just state that I am one of those people who, when I’m feeling healthy and “on”, really enjoys being busy and thrives on being pulled in multiple directions. I will go, go, go and LOVE it until one day, seemingly out of the blue, my mind and body hit a wall and I crash. HARD.

The past few weeks have been spent fighting the fact that I need to slow down a bit, start getting 7+ hours of sleep again and perform a complete overhaul on my diet. I took a momentary step back from blogging in order to work on the slowing down and sleep part of the equation and am now moving on to phase two: my diet. That is where today’s cocktail recipe comes in.

As of yesterday I am taking five days off from drinking in order to clear my system out, but before I embarked down this dry, dry road I had to enjoy one last hurrah in the form of today’s strawberry ginger Kombucha cocktail.

An Easy 4th of July Cocktail

June 21, 2016

With the 4th of July a little less than two weeks away, those of us in the United States have barbecues, fireworks and red, white and blue on the mind. While the extra day off work for the national holiday is great, the best part of the historical day is coming together with family and friends and dedicating an entire day to pure celebration, fun and food. If you are looking for a refreshing alternative to the gallons of beer consumed each Independence Day, I have you covered with this quick and easy 4th of July cocktail.
