6:45 – 7:00 a.m.: I get up naturally. I at all times set my old school alarm clock, however I can’t keep in mind the final time it woke me up.

I verify in a single day texts and emails, play Wordle, and begin the NYT mini-crossword and Spelling Bee.
7:15 a.m.: I bathe, then eat breakfast. Normally, it is tea with native Andrew’s Honey, yogurt with just a little matcha powder combined in, and fruit.

10:15 p.m.: Time for my nightly skincare. It’s fairly easy: I take away any eye make-up with Neutrogena Oil Free Make-up Remover, wash my face with Dove Delicate Pores and skin Magnificence Bar, and moisturize with Chanel La Resolution 10. A few times every week, I apply prescription tretinoin 0.025% cream, then moisturize.
10:15 – 11:00 p.m.: Lights dim, in mattress. I like my Afloat water mattress and Tempurpedic neck pillow. I’ve tremendous smooth James Perse, Sferra, and Schweitzer sheets and duvets. I’ve delicate pores and skin and care loads about texture, so my sheets are 100% cotton. My cat Chou Chou joins me, and I could play a recreation on my telephone, ship a final textual content, watch the Yankees just a little, or learn a number of pages.
