Struggling to get a good sleep? Here are 5 tips you need to try!

There’s nothing in the world like crawling into bed after a long day for a good night’s sleep.

But if you’re struggling to have quality sleep and often find yourself tossing and turning, it’s possible that something is not aligned with your bedtime ritual.

Let’s explore some ways to fix this so you can be on your way to sweet dreams every single night.

Tips for Getting Sleep

If you have difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep, here are a few tips to help you:

1. Establish a bedtime routine and stick to it.

This could include reading, winding down for 30 minutes before sleeping, or using relaxation techniques like meditation or taking a warm shower or bath.

2. Avoid watching television or working on a laptop in bed.

The bright light from these screens can make it difficult to fall asleep. So, turn off your television and laptop a few minutes before bedtime.

3. Get regular exercise, but not too close to bedtime.

Exercise can help you sleep better. But it can also have detrimental effects if you do it too close to bedtime. So, make sure not to exercise at least 1 hour before bedtime.

4. Keep a relaxed, comfortable environment in your bedroom.

A room that’s too hot or too cold can make it difficult to fall asleep. Make sure that your room has an environment that is conducive to sleep and relaxation.

5. Limit caffeine and alcohol intake.

Both of these substances can disrupt your sleep patterns, so limit your intake of these drinks to avoid difficulty in sleeping. Instead, try drinking something like chamomile tea before bed to relax you.

Our Crystal Dreams collection is the perfect way to lull yourself into a sweet sleep. It has three simple beauty rituals that use gentle

TikTok beauty queen dies in freak skydiving accident

Social media is mourning the death of a Canadian beauty queen and TikTok influencer, who tragically perished last week during a freak skydiving accident.

The catastrophe occurred Saturday while Tanya Pardazi, 21, was completing her first solo course with Skydive Toronto in Innisfil, Ontario, Jam Press reported. This was reportedly her first time jumping alone, per the skydiving firm, which requires students to complete a day of ground training before attempting a solo dive, according to CTV News Toronto.

However, the dive went south after the Toronto University student opened the parachute too late during her descent.

According to a statement by Skydive Toronto, Pardazi had “released a quickly-rotating main parachute at a low altitude without the time or altitude required for the reserve parachute to inflate.”

Pardazi, 21, had been attempting her first solo dive with Skydive Toronto in Innisfil, Ontario.

Following the accident, the thrill seeker was subsequently rushed to the hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Pardazi was a fixture on TikTok, where the philosophy student regularly posted videos discussing everything from makeup tips to woolly mammoths to her almost 100,000 followers. In the final clip before her death, posted on Aug. 22, Pardazi spoke about Tetris and skydiving.

The 17 Best Beauty Essentials to Keep in Your Beach Bag, According to Experts

As hard as it may be to believe, we’ve already reached the tail end of August, but there’s still plenty of summer sun left to enjoy. It’s no surprise that our favorite way to take in warmer months is with frequent beach and pool hangs, which is why keeping a stable of protective and effective beauty products is key.

One nonnegotiable that should always be included in your outdoor rotation? “Sunscreen, sunscreen, and more sunscreen,” board-certified dermatologist Marisa Garshick tells BAZAAR.com. “It’s important to go to the beach with enough skin-care/g40106958/best-new-sunscreens-2022/” data-ylk=”slk:sunscreen” class=”link “sunscreen for the day. Since the amount that’s needed per application is the equivalent to one shot glass, this may mean if you’re spending the day at the beach, one bottle of sunscreen actually may not be sufficient.”

In addition to providing general face and body protection, broad-spectrum sunscreens can also help your makeup of choice apply more smoothly. “Protection against the sun’s harmful rays is important in leaving skin healthy, happy, and supple,” celebrity makeup artist Judi Gabbay says. “Sunburned or sun damaged skin is a major factor in how your makeup applies—a good beat starts with a good base.”

For those looking to take their no-makeup-makeup looks beachside, opt for a selection of hydrating, waterproof products with lightweight formulas that won’t feel cakey on your face. Though tweaking your daily rotation may seem a little daunting just for a beach trip, experts note that the swap can ultimately mean the difference between a flawless finish and accidental smudging.

For pro tips on exactly what to pack this summer and for blissful vacation trips ahead, we’ve pulled together a short list of expert-approved beach makeup and skincare products worth adding to your tote bag.

Make-up artist praised for how perfectly she covers up acne

A makeup artist on TikTok has shared a must-see hack to ‘perfectly’ cover up acne.

Mikayla Nogueira, from Massachusetts, has over 13.4 million followers on TikTok, where she shares her cosmetic tips with the world.

The 24-year-old struggles with acne, and in one of her latest uploads, she explained her ‘sticky method’ and how it helps her hide her acne.

‘Here’s how to perfectly cover acne using the sticky method,’ she begins.

“We’re going to make these [blemishes] look like they don’t even exist on the face.

“It’s called the sticky method because our face is about to get really sticky.”

The key behind Mikayla’s method is using priming products that will make the skin ‘tacky’. This will then help your concealer adhere to the skin to ensure that you have full coverage throughout the day.

She begins the tutorial by using a hydrating serum that will leave a ‘tacky’ layer on her skin.

She uses the Glow Recipe Plum Plump Hyaluronic Acid Serum, however, according to Mikayla, you can use ‘any serum that leaves the face feeling a little bit tacky after it’s applied is going to work out… any serum that gives a tacky, sticky finish’.

“’Let that dry. See there’s a little bit of tackiness when I touch my skin,” she adds.

Step two involves a ‘gripping’ primer, such as the E.l.f. Power Grip primer, which is her top choice.

Primer is an important part of any makeup tutorial as it helps protect the skin from ingredients in the makeup and acts as a base to help your foundation, blush, and eye makeup stay in place.

There are ‘tons and tons of gripping primers out there,’ the beauty pro adds, but she says that the

Maddie Ziegler has dropped a new makeup collection with Morphe 2 and it’s autumn goals

“The reason I called it Changement is because it means ‘to change’ in French, it’s actually a ballet term,” she says, referencing her dancer background. “From my first collection with Morphe [in 2020] to my second collection with Morphe 2, I’ve evolved so much in a short amount of time and I think that’s what “Changement” is all about – to change, to grow and to evolve,” Maddie explains. “I also played into weather because it changes all the time and is very unpredictable, so I named a lot of the eyeshadows different weather terms. My favourite shade would have to be ‘Downpour’ [a deep, foggy blue] it’s so beautiful and pigmented.”

Beyond the palette, there’s three gel liners, Downpour a steely blue to match its eyeshadow counterpart, Loyal (purple) and Golden Hour (Bronze). There’s also a brush set, hair clips and a freckle pen that comes in four shades.

“I always have to gel down my brows – always,” says Maddie. “I love a clear brow gel,” she continues. “The one from Makeup by Mario is my favourite. It’s the only one I’ve found that truly keeps them in place all day, but doesn’t feel gluey or sticky.” As for filling them in, she created her Drawn Out Brow & Freckle Pen. “I use it on sparse areas, but I also love to use it to enhance my freckles because sometime makeup covers them, so this brings them back to life.”

Away from her own collection, Maddie has a lot of respect for fellow beauty creators. “I’m truly obsessed with the Rhode Salted Caramel Lip Peptide Treatment. Whatever Hailey [Bieber] put in this product, it’s gorgeous. I have three of them now (one in my makeup bag, car and purse),” Maddie reveals. “My lips crave this product.
