We all could use some stress reduction in our lives, and establishing an evening routine is a great way to help calm the mind and the body from the stressors of the day.
An evening routine may look something like staying away from electronics at least two hours before bed, reading a book, or doing some yoga and meditation. But, adding in a calming, warming beverage may also be a great option too — and it even makes a healthy dessert swap!
