Dorit Kemsley’s Versace Outfit on Instagram

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills 2020 Instagram Fashion

In a follow up to her head to toe Gucci basketball outfit, yesterday Dorit Kemsley took to the ‘Gram looking very Versace for a mini photoshoot with her mini me’s. Who were, of course, also decked out in the designer.

At this point part of Dorit’s personal brand is being known for wearing designer names. And while it may be too much for some, it’s the type of content we need right now with the Housewives summer hiatus. I say Dorit should keep ’em coming! Especially when a 4 hour glam sesh won’t make you late for anything because there ain’t nowhere to go.

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

Everyone always talks about the importance of our morning routine, and I would agree that starting our day in an intentional way sets the stage for our entire day.  

I, like many, have a very routine morning. However, my – and everyone else’s – morning routine does not start when the alarm goes off. I will argue that our morning routines start the evening before.

It Begins in the Evening

Every decision that goes into our evening routine affects the amount and quality of our sleep, and, in turn, the effectiveness of our morning routines. If we eat dinner late, drink too much wine, or stay up past our bedtime, our routine the next morning will be affected. As will the entire day.

My morning and evening routines have been a work in progress throughout my entire adult life. And they change and evolve as my daily schedule and priorities do. They look much different today than they did when I had two young boys at home and was managing their schedules as well as my own.

Nowadays, I need to be the best that I can be to manage my job, my writing, seeing my grandchildren as often as I possibly can, helping with our senior parents, and squeezing in a date night with my husband! My nighttime routine is instrumental in making all of that happen for me each day.

The Four Components of an Effective Nighttime Routine

There are four building blocks that will determine how well rested you will be in the morning:

Knowing When to End Your Day

If you are still working, your nighttime routine begins the minute you put work away for the day. If you are retired, it should begin at around the same time each evening.

For me, this is somewhere between 5pm and 6pm each night. I review my journal entry from the morning and jot down a few things about my day in my journal. Some examples include:

• How the day went – what I did well and what I could have done better.
• How I’m feeling physically and/or emotionally.
• Why I’m looking forward to tomorrow and why tonight’s evening routine is so important.

I then shut off my computer and vow to look at my phone as little as possible. If I’m honest, some evenings I’m more successful at this than others, depending on what’s happened during the day.

Healthy Eating and Drinking Choices Throughout the Entire Evening

You need to be intentional when deciding what to put into your body each night and when. An ideal dinner should be ¾ green, plant based foods and should be eaten no later than 7:30pm. The earlier the better. This helps both with quality of sleep as well as weight loss or maintenance.

Limit your alcohol intake and establish a clear signal that tells your brain you’re done with food for the evening. For me, this is a cup of herbal tea. Once I drink this, I’m finished eating or drinking anything else other than water.

Other signals might include an after dinner drink of some sort, a particular television show, or taking the dog for a walk. It doesn’t matter what you choose. Just do it each night. Eventually, your brain will learn this habit, and it will become effortless for you.

Maintaining a Clear and Consistent Pre-Bedtime Routine

My pre-bedtime routine is simple: By 8:30pm each night I am washing my face, laying out my clothes for the next morning, and turning on an episode of whatever my current Netflix fave is.

Yours will be different. However, laying out clothes for the next day is a highly recommended component – it makes your morning more effortless.

Defining a Consistent Bedtime Routine

Close the day at the same time each night. Your cell phone should be in another room with the alarm set. Research shows that the blue light on the phone interferes with sleep and the production of melatonin. And having the phone in the next room when the alarm goes off will ensure that you get right out of bed to start your morning routine.

Spend 15-30 minutes doing something quiet – meditating, listening to music, or reading a book.

Turn the light out and sleep tight!

What is your nighttime routine? How does it affect your morning routine and the next day for you? What would you change? What do you love best about it? Please share below and let’s have a conversation!

Braunwyn Windham-Burke’s Navy Blue Pajama Set on Instastories

Real Housewives of Orange County 2020 Instagram Fashion

Braunwyn Windham-Burke’s navy blue pajama set on her Instastories were a total dream—At least for me because I love all things matching lounge wear. After she shared this cute porch PJ pic she shared an Instastory of her still in this look, but with full glam that was on totally point. She captioned the story “all dressed up with nowhere to go” which has been all of our motto’s recently. And though we would all love to wake up in our pjs looking gorge, I’m okay with putting these babies on with no where to go, but back to bed.

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

We tend to associate tinted moisturizer with a dewy, healthy-looking glow. We also assume that everyone wants that wet finish. Au contraire—not so much. For people with oily skin or people who simply don’t want their skin to look that hydrated, the best matte tinted moisturizer will do, as long as it’s the kind of matte finish that doesn’t produce flakes or look unnatural.

Come summer, the type of makeup you wear will ultimately be impacted by humid weather. Mascara could run, foundation may melt, and lipstick will undoubtedly need more than a few touchups. Setting spray will only take you so far, which is why tinted moisturizer is everyone’s favorite product to wear this time of year. It kills two birds with one stone by moisturizing your skin and providing coverage. Most options are also enriched with healthy, skin-loving ingredients, including SPF protection because sunscreen is a must.

However, when it comes to the best matte tinted moisturizers, only a select few are repeatedly name-dropped as actually effective formulas that look and feel good. Keep scrolling to see five of them.

Hair growth is a marathon, not a sprint. It requires patience, consistency, trial-and-error depending on your routine, and did I mention patience? I decided about a month after doing everything from home that I might as well throw a healthy hair routine into the mix, too. And since getting to my barber became more of a dream than reality, I decided I would dedicate myself to a hair growth routine instead of attempting to groom my buzz cut because, well, what else did I have to do? The verdict is still out on what is and isn’t working, but I do know that the best natural hair growth masks have only helped my cause.

Even if I weren’t growing out my hair, a mask or deep conditioner would still be part of my wash day routine. No matter your curl pattern or hair length, these once-a-week (give or take) treatments are the extra bit of TLC that help improve the absorption of your daily products, boost moisture retention, prevent shedding, and target split ends or other forms of breakage. I won’t tell you which hair mask is your perfect match—only you can best determine what plays nice with your unique curl pattern, lifestyle, and needs. However, I can confirm that the options listed here have excellent word-of-mouth reviews, ingredients that specifically target growth, and prices that won’t hurt your wallet. Keep scrolling to for a closer look if you want potential options to kick off your search—I have a feeling at least one of these will raise your eyebrows (in a good way).
