If there’s one thing I’m always doing around the apartment is changing the decoration and accessories. Not necessarily buying new things, but re-arranging everything. When I was living in Lisbon, every six months I would change my room’s arrangement just to feel like I was walking in a different place and avoid getting tired of it. Since I spend so much time in our apartment, I get highly creative with how things look and my bedside table is constantly changing its appearance.
Decorating something as personal as a bedside table has a lot to do with your preferences. Whether you are a reader, beauty addict or hate clutter, what you’ll keep on top of it comes down to what your rituals are before you go to bed. In my case, I like to do my skin care already in bed and, after, read a little bit – especially if I’m not sleepy. Of course I also love browsing through Instagram and Snapchat one last time before day’s end but, ultimately, I’m trying not to.
On the other hand, I also have nights where I like to take care of my face and nails. It’s such a relaxing time and, while I apply a nightly mask and wait for it to dry, I use a nail restorer that strengths my nails. Unfortunately, my phone is my alarm clock in the morning, so I have to keep it rather close by, but always try to resort to a book for a better night of sleep.
