A Charming Bed

A charming bed is everything. It’s rest, health, love, beauty and intimacy. In short, it’s life. After spending 12 nights on a comfortable couch that was graciously offered to me by a relative as my home underwent renovations, I can now say that I’ve taken everything my bed has given me for granted.

Several hours of restorative sleep; a morning routine that allows me to get up happy and refreshed while slowly easing me into a gentle barre workout and healthy breakfast; a nighttime routine of dim lighting, moisturizing and sliding into soft, quality sheets in pleasing-to-the-skin sleepwear and slipping on a silk eye mask.

A charming bed is also a delicious book on my bedside table, a favourite prayer, soft music and pleasant good night calls. My bed, I realized, is the base of my life.
