the art of the nightstand: pillowtalk's nightstand essentials

as a new year rolls around, so too does my most ceremonious ritual, the big life de-clutter, beginning as it always does in my bedroom. Somewhat unwillingly, my space seems to become overrun with things I have collected throughout the year, mostly things that can't be glued or tucked away into my junk journal. So as I was of course procrastinating the big clean, despite knowing that a clear and considered environment is great for your mental health, I found my self doomscrolling on tiktok, oops, where chic and cool creators were detailing what lives on their nightstands. After watching too many and making a board on Pinterest, I knew where my big clean would begin. 

your nightstand is home to your true essentials, items you desperately need within arm's reach, whether that's your lipgloss or your current read. Here is our list of our absolute nightstand essentials.  

1.Lipgloss- I could not live without 2 or 3 lipgloss near me at all times. My absolute go-to is the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Cherry.

2. Hand Cream-Especially, with these colder months, my hands have been so dry!!

3.Eyepatches- My fav morning self-care ritual is to put on eye-patches as soon as I wake up. Currently, I've been using the Grace & Stella Eye Masks.

4.An alarm clock-This is soo helpful in staying of your phone in the morning!!

5. My current read-I'm trying to get into the habit of reading before bed so its great to my current read within arm's reach.

6. Hair clips/bobbles

7. A candle

8. A cute framed picture

9. Flowers-I loveee having a vase of my fav flowers, it's so pretty!!

10. Water bottle/mug of tea

Having a clean and intentional space in my bedroom, feels so calming and chic!! Let us know, what's on your nightstand xx
