I don’t know who else needs to hear this, but every night I tell myself: ā€œGirl, take that magnesium before bed.ā€ And somehow, I still forget. šŸ™ƒ


Like, how am I out here running businesses, creating art, coaching folks on soft life living… yet I can’t remember one little supplement that actually makes my life easier? It’s giving ā€œdo as I say, not as I do.ā€ šŸ˜‚

Now that I’m 47, my body clock said ā€œWelcome to the Hormone Rollercoaster please keep your arms and legs inside at all times.ā€ šŸŒ€ Hot flashes, mood swings, sleepless nights it’s like my body developed a whole new sense of humor.


The good news? I’ve got a partner who’s supportive and nurturing through all of this. The bad news? I can’t rely on him to be my alarm clock. Self-care is my responsibility, and if I don’t prioritize it, nobody else can do it for me.


Why Magnesium Is My New Bedtime Bestie

Magnesium isn’t just another supplement collecting dust in the cabinet. This is the real MVP when it comes to:


✨ Relaxing sore muscles and easing headaches


✨ Calming a busy mind before bed


✨ Supporting hormone balance and mood


✨ Helping you actually stay asleep through the night

I’ve tried both supplements and topical magnesium cream after a hot bath, and let me tell you… it’s a game changer. The kind of sleep where you wake up and forget what year it is. šŸ˜‚


Setting Myself Up for Success (Because Memory Isn’t What It Used to Be)

Since I use my phone for everything—work, scrolling, posting, checking in on y’all—I had to get serious about reminders. No more telling myself ā€œI’ll remember later.ā€ Girl, no you won’t.

Now I set notifications that say exactly what I need to do:

  • ā€œTake Magnesium NOW, sis šŸ’Šā€

  • ā€œRun that bath + rub down with cream šŸ›āœØā€

  • ā€œClose the laptop, it’s sleep prep time šŸ’¤ā€

That way, I stop treating self-care like an option. It becomes non-negotiable, just like brushing my teeth.


Middle Age, Living La Vida Soft Life 🌸

Pre-menopause doesn’t mean we have to suffer in silence. We can be navigating hot flashes and still glowing. But it only works when we consistently choose to care for ourselves.

Supplements, baths, and sleep rituals aren’t luxuries they’re survival tools. And the sooner we treat them like the baseline of our routine, the smoother this hormonal rollercoaster feels.


If you’re nodding along right now like, ā€œOMG, same,ā€ let me help you out. I’m dropping the link to my favorite magnesium complex and sleep time routine below šŸ‘‡šŸ¾.


Trust me your future self (and your partner, if they likes you well-rested and less moody šŸ˜…) will thank you.

Because nothing and I mean NOTHING feels more luxurious than waking up fully rested, balanced, and ready to slay another day. Period.


šŸ’ŒNOW here’s your Call to Action:


✨ Try the magnesium complex or sleep aids I’ve linked below


✨ Set your phone reminders tonight


✨ Stop letting self-care slide down your to-do list

Sis… sleep is sexy, health is wealth, and we ain’t got time to be out here exhausted when we could be glowing and going.
