MY SECRET TO STAYING ASLEEP // SUGAR MILL FARMS

Thank you to Sugar Mill Farms for sponsoring this post, all opinions are, of course, my own.

Sleep is a non-negotiable for me. I'm someone who needs at least 8 hours to function and most days, I get 9 hours because I'm just a more functioning person the next day. I have zero shame about it! 

I've never really had issues falling asleep but my issue has always been staying asleep. I would wake up around 4 am every day like clockwork. Like my brain didn't know I had work the next morning? Ugh why?!  It's also like my brain saves all its thoughts for when I'm lying down ready to pass out. I've tried many things and always go back to CBD. It doesn't make me drowsy, which is super important to me because I make sure I sleep 9 hours a night so I don't feel drowsy, ya know? Just trying to feel more alive, people. 

How does CBD make you feel is probably the most common question I receive. For me, it makes me feel calm and just like my normal self. There are no psychoactive effects. It just makes me feel like my normal, best self. I'll take about 15-20 mg per night depending on how I'm feeling. 

I recently discovered a brand that really offers some amazing CBD products for everyday life and specifically for sleep & energy, which I'm all about. Sugar Mill Farms offers these Nite Nite Darts that are designed and pre measured for sleep and filled with sleep-inducing vitamins, minerals, in addition to the CBD. It has an easy twist open too! So when I'm ready for it, I just twist and it's already pre-portioned. Perfect for traveling! The easier it is the more likely I'll do it, ya know? They also make their Nite Nite formula in a spray so you have both options to choose from. 

So now that we discussed the best options for sleep, I have to share their Power Play Spray. It's designed to work as hard as you do. Plus it has turmeric and we all know how obsessed I am with turmeric. They also have another energy one that is more focus focused, which is definitely my jam. It has electrolytes & BCAAs to help with stamina, vitality, and endurance. 

In addition to Sugar Mill Farms' products helping with sleep and energy levels. The actual CBD, which is the main ingredient in each of their products, can help with stress and pain relief. I'll take some CBD when I'm starting to feel anxious and within 30 minutes, I'm less anxious. It's actually crazy! CBD also helps you recover after a workout faster. Which we all know I need. I ALWAYS feel sore. CBD has been a total lifesaver and I'm completely obsessed! I would recommend it to anyone! I'll include Sugar Hill Farms products below so you can easily shop them! Can't wait to hear what you think!

COACHELLA 2019 RECAP

 

Coachella 2019! That’s a wrap. Such an amazing experience! Planning Coachella is pretty crazy. From literally buying tickets a year before the festival to booking a house like 8 months before because they sell out so fast. You honestly totally forget about it till it’s 3 months away.

So, we “waited on line” to buy the tickets and rented the perfect house for the weekend. The rest figured itself out. Such an incredible weekend! Waking up and walking to the backyard to lay by the pool and chill before the Coachella Chaos. We had the best of both worlds and loved every second of it. This is the Airbnb we stayed at for the weekend & you can get $40 off your first stay here.

Okay, so planning out the outfits was even more chaotic, haha. I wanted the Coachella vibes but still wanted to be semi comfy but still wanted to bring out my style. Also, being petite made it even harder to find clothes that fit. Well, about a month and a half of trying basically 283744 outfits, I finally found the perfect outfits for my first year at Coachella.

Below, I put together a little round of my favorite looks I wore to not only the festival but also some more everyday looks I wore around during our trip!

This first look was the pre Coachella look while we were laying by the pool. I paired a bandana top (yes, it’s a bandana!) with a pair of high waisted bathing suits threw a hat on and I was all set. I ended up just throwing a fringe skirt and belt bag over the high waisted bikini bottoms for the festival and left the hat at home for day 2.

Day two’s outfit was probably my favorite since it was the most me. It had some Coachella vibes and some of my own vibes. Honestly, I ordered this top a week before my trip after I had all my outfits already planned out. I fell in love and swapped one of my outfits so I can wear it! The long train had me fully obsessed. It’s so cute & I’ll definitely be wearing it again with a pair of denim. I paired this outfit with a pair of white sneakers that I could walk miles in.

Third day I was all about comfort. After walking miles (or at least it felt that way), I just wanted to throw something cute on and wear a pair of kicks. The second I tried on this denim romper, I fell in love. It fit perfectly and something I can wear over and over again. Clear bags are VERY in right now and I was so excited to find this bad boy. Throw a head scarf on and you’re Coachella ready.

Another pre Coachella outfit. Super easy & super comfy. If you can’t tell, my goal is to find the comfiest stuff when I know I’ll either be walking all day or in 100 degree weather. This Tee is the softest tee in the game paired with my fave shorts. Another head scarf moment with this chic wooden bag.

Okay, favorite photo of the weekend?! I think so! Cutest little one piece ever! Paired with heart sunnies to make it even cuter.
