Although I don’t typically believe in New Year’s resolutions or written affirmations, I try to start the New Year with a somewhat more planned routine. I always start on Sunday. This helps me feel grounded at the end of each weekend, and starts the busy week ahead with a bang. Below are some of the weekend routines I’ve committed to to relax and reset. It feels good to chase away the dreary Sunday horrors!
sunday beauty
I think about restoring beauty on Sundays. This includes using this face lotion as well as copious amounts of this lotion. I like to wear a great overnight mask right after taking one of these off before going to bed.
sunday bonus beauty
Sunday beauty includes my red light mask. My favorite is this. It has made such a difference in the overall appearance of my skin. My husband uses it sometimes too!
tea time
I must drink tea about 3 hours before sleeping. I like to recreate the Starbucks ‘medicine ball’ with this tea. I would add honey to it – which I just got as a gift! Its combination with lemon juice is very good. PS You can buy my napkins here, cutting boards here, and clear cups here.
sunday salad
Sundays are big salad nights in our house. We are always changing the offerings and experimenting with fresh ingredients. Last Sunday we enjoyed a simple chef’s salad. I love using these bowls – they were one of my favorite purchases of 2025.
clean sheets
Clean sheets are essential. Lately I’ve been using these dryer sheets and this laundry detergent and both are divine. My current sheets are Boll & Branch (I love these too) and my coverlet is here. I bought three of the four coverlets I didn’t like, then I got this.
no screen time
New rules to live by: No screen time an hour before bed and no phones in bed. I use this alarm clock to turn off and wake up. That’s the scent featured here! If you like tomato scent, this is 10/10.
