10 Things To Do Before You Go To Bed

Are you bored? If so, you are in luck! Here is a list (yay! my first list on here!) of 10 things you should do to pass the time before you go to sleep.

1. Eat something good with no regrets. Like seriously. Make it like a mini vacation (because there are no calories on vacation). Go to your pantry and get that cookie you've been eyeing for the past two days, or eat a bunch of Halloween candy! Because who doesn't love a Reese's in the shape of a pumpkin?

2. Watch your fave show. I'm sure that, like me, you have a ton of shows backed up on your DVR and now is the perfect time to watch last week's Modern Family (personal favorite) or Grey's Anatomy. Better yet, go on Netflix and watch a movie! But make sure you complete the other nine tasks while doing so.

3. Make a craft. If you have a friend that has been in a bad mood lately or is just having a no good very bad week, make him slash (yes I actually say slash in everyday life) her a craft! Everyone enjoys little happys in their life and this small gesture may speak volumes to the Debby Downer, Pitiful Pete, Negative Nancy, etc. etc.

4. Clean out your closet. I'm not talking like an extensive clean. Just a tidy little clean up. Straighten the shoes on the shelves, make all the hangers go the right way. If you're really OCD like me, consider color coding all of your clothes. It makes it much easier to pick out the perfect outfit depending on your mood for the day!

5. Fluff your pillows. That's right. Fluff those suckers. Nobody, or at least not I, like a squishy, delapidated pillow. If you are a princess, check for a pea under your mattress (Kate, this is for you). A fluffed pillow will ensure a great night's rest and an undisturbed beauty sleep.

6. Read a picture book. Go to your childhood book shelf and pick out your favorite book. Mine would be either Amelia Bedelia or the ever famous and sweet I Love You Forever. My mother read this to my brother and sang the song to him every night before bedtime up until 2 weeks ago. Just kidding, like two years ago. But still, I think it's one of the main reasons he is such a sweet heart and appreciates his mama. Whether you're 50 or 5, you should buy it tomorrow if you don't already have it.

7. Tell someone that you love them. "I love you forever, I like you for always, remember my baby, you'll always be." (Credit to I Love You Forever) Call your mom or dad if you don't live at home. And if you do, get out of bed and go tell them. Grandma, grandpa, sister, brother,your bestie. Whomever. You never know when you or someone else will breathe their last breathe. Sorry....I wasn't trying to be morbid.

8. Paint your nails. Maybe it is just me, but I feel like a much more complete and put together person when my nails are polished to perfection.

9. Think. I am starting to run out of things to do before you go to bed and I'm currently thinking "why did I even decide to write this post?" Soooo just sit back and ponder upon life. If you don't want to go that deep, just reflect on the eventful happenings of your day or about the things listed in your agenda. It is always good to mull over your day or week's plans.

10. Thank God.  And last, but certainly the most important. Thank God for everything he has given you and bestowed upon you and your family and friends. Forgive me for using this old cliche, but what if you woke up with only the things you thanked God for yesterday? Well yay for you (I say yay alot. like alot alot.) because I am reminding you right now to say your prayers and thank God for the life you have!

So there you have them. The first list in the history of this blog. If you didn't do all 10 I hope you at least did a select few. I am tired and need to get to bed. Oh wait....I have to complete this list! I think I will begin my painting my nails and read Amelia Bedelia while I let them dry. Then  I will do the rest of my list  I guess. This night is about to get WILD.

Night night. Don't let the bed bugs bite!
XOXO,

P.S. If you have bed bugs you should seriously consider calling the US bed bug detector.
