You know, I've been talking about environmental toxins forever, and laundry detergent is a sneaky one. A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything. They just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family's sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze. It looks like a dryer sheet, but it's actually laundry detergent. You toss one in the washer and that's it. No pouring, no mess, and no heavy plastic jug. Their packaging is lightweight cardboard, which helps reduce plastic waste. And if you choose the fragrance free option, it's gentle, hypoallergenic, non irritating and non sensitizing. I really like how simple it is and how fresh and clean everything comes out without those unnecessary chemicals.

Hey, it's J.J. here. Now let's be honest. The holidays are basically a financial ambush. Travel, hosting gifts, surprise holiday school things.

All right, so we are talking sleep, and I'm going to share what I do to get a great night's sleep. And so, first of all, what you measure and monitor, you can improve. So I use an Oura ring. I am a big advocate of finding a sleep tracker that you can use to track your sleep. So I use an Oura ring every night, and that is what I do. And it really helps me kind of look back when I get a crappy night's sleep. Go, what did I do? What did I do that day that contributed to that? So sadly enough, I've discovered that I can only. I mean, not sadly enough, I can only drink dry farm wine because any other type hurts me and I don't get a good night's sleep. So thank you, Todd and David, for that. At least we have our great dry farms wine. So look at it and see. I know that if I eat, I try to stop eating. I don't try, I stop eating three to four hours before bed. If I eat late, I don't sleep well. So look at the things by using your Oura ring and go, gosh, what works for me, what doesn't. Now, here's what I do. And I have this routine pretty much wherever I am. The only challenge will be if I'm somewhere where they don't have a bathtub. That really messes me up because every night I take a hot bath with Epsom salts added and I use a little lavender oil in it. It's amazing. I also just found a little lavender spray for the pillow, but I use a little lavender essential oil and I get into a hot bath with Epsom salts. Now, other thing we start to do, my husband's better at this because he's super light sensitive, is we turn all the lights down. So we dim the lights and we take the. This is what I've won on, is we take the air down to 68. I'd have it down to 65, but 68 is kind of the lowest, the highest low you want to make sure you have. So you're taking a hot bath, you're down dimming the lights, you're cooling it down. Advanced points. If you want to put red lights in your bedroom lamps, which, by the way, make you look amazing, then we wear our blue blocker glasses. Then I take magnesium. So I have my new Reignite Wellness product. It's super cute. We did a. Again, I did a facelift on my products. So it's called Magnesium mineral Magic. One of the big things with magnesium is you want to make sure it's. It's a very easy to absorb because these aren't easy to absorb. So mine is bisglycinate, which is a very good calming source of magnesium. So I have 300 milligrams for two caps. I will tell you that I take four every night. That's what I feel best at. Kind of the way you can tell with magnesium is if you take too much, you will have loose stools. You will have what people call disaster pants. So what I tell people to do is like, start with two. 300mg is a really reasonable dose. If you feel like, feel great, you don't notice anything at all. You can push it up to three, but if you get. The minute you get any kind of loose stools, back it down. The next thing that I take is my sleep candy. And I created this product years ago because I found something similar but had sugar in it and I wanted something I could chew before bed that would help me sleep. So this one has inositol theanine, five htp melatonin. Now, five HTP helps make melatonin. Melatonin, of course, when we're in a pitch black room, which is super important, our body makes melatonin. Theanine's a calming amino acid that makes Gaba, which is our biggest calming neurotransmitter. Inositol is a calming B vitamin. And B6 works in the pathways to help make these neurotransmitters. So I find that I do great with three a night. Some people only need one. So see how you do. Everything's put in there to help you fall and stay asleep. Pitch black room, quiet room. Really important. Pitch black and quiet. So we have blackout curtains in our house if you're not in that situation. When I travel, I bring an eye mask. And I really love the Tempur Pedic eye mask. It's the most comfortable one that I found.

Hello listeners, this is Anne Bogle, author, blogger, and creator of the podcast what Should I Read next? Since 2016, I've been helping readers bring more joy and delight into their reading lives. Every week I tag all things books and Reading with a guest and guide them in discovering their next read. They share three books they love, one book they don't, and what they've been reading lately, and I recommend three titles they may enjoy reading next. Guests have said our conversations are like therapy, troubleshooting issues that have plagued their reading lives for years, and possibly the rest of their lives as well. And of course, recommending books that meet the moment. Whether they are looking for deep introspection to spur or encourage a life change or a frothy page turner to help them escape the stresses of work, school, everything, you'll learn something about yourself as a reader and you'll definitely walk away confident to choose your next read, with a whole list of new books and authors to try. So join us each Tuesday for what Should I Read Next? Subscribe now wherever you're listening to this podcast and visit our website what Should I read next podcast.com to find out more.
