What does your current evening routine look like? 🤍

[@minister314]

After I return from work, which is usually around 7 or 7 30pm, I tend to unwind with watching my favorite TV shows, snacking, or playing online video games for at least an hour or two before I go to sleep.

[@Ritaxbaby]

I’ve actually implemented some of your routines such as having a cup of herbal tea, turning my diffuser on, watch a show or two, write in my guided journal, and finish off the night with a few pages of a book. I’ve turned on the screen time option on my phone so after 10pm I am not allowed to look at my phone and my sleep has improved so much! I was a person that fell asleep to watching KZbin videos and found I would wake up a million times at night. By implementing some of your steps, I sleep soundly! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@simplelivingbulgaria3662]

Finish work, fetch my son from school, check his school work, make and eat supper, tidy up for a fresh startin the morning, spend time with my son, bedtime stories and get him to sleep, shower and relax by watching/reading/painting and drinking herbal tea before heading to bed

[@ameliejanoska8878]

I really like your way of living and thinking, Ashlynne :) The only thing that popped into my mind both after watching your morning and evening routine is, that you use eating time to check on your phone. I am guilty of it, too but try to avoid it nowadays to be able to fully enjoy my meal and be present and mindful about what and how much I am eating. Also being thankful for the yummi food with paying attention to it :) No critique, just a sidenote. Hugs from Austria, Graz 🤍

[@ms1295]

Would love to hear more of your fiction recommendations!

[@DaughterOfTheKingdom16]

my evening routine: make/ eat dinner tidy/clean home devotional/Bible reading Bath/Shower Plan outfit for next day Relax (social media or like watch tv) Drink Tea Read my book Sleep

[@AhmetKaan]

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” *―C. S. Lewis*

[@mia4resto]

Evening routine, I usually clean up really quick. Then I have a shower, after which I moisturize my entire body (then usually cuddle my hubby cuz he can't resist the smell of the lotions lol), I eat something small and sweet, like a piece of chocolate, and soft music and essential oil diffuser next to my bed.

[@ericawinchester2250]

Jane Eyre is my absolute favorite book! I’m so glad to hear that you’re enjoying it. My self care night routine is doing a clay mask, having a bowl of popcorn, and watching a Disney movie.

[@amyhoover9]

I never tire from watching your nightly or daily morning routine videos, Ashlynne. If I'm being honest though, I'm sensing a bit of a creative rut from your recent uploads. I still don't mind videos like this where you're sharing different routines or habits that you implement in your everyday life, but if you need more inspiration or video ideas, a couple suggestions I have is to make a week of outfits post, or even just a simple, sit down chatty kind of vlog to help break up the rest of the minimalism content. I genuinely hope that you're doing alright now since making the transition into working from home full time

[@juliab628]

I have never used an alarm bc I wake up on my own every day, before sunrise :) I'm a huge morning person! Thankfully, my husband is the same way so we don't have to be jolted awake suddenly (alarms make us feel uneasy). About 4 yrs ago, I began following the flylady system and have benefitted from these types of routines, morning (put on a load of laundry, make bed, swish & swipe, dressed to shoes!), evening (putting the house to "sleep", self-care, etc) , afternoon (tidy-up/what's for dinner?). It's great!!

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Happy Women's History Month and Happy Weekend, Ashlynne!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thanks Ervin!!

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

You're welcome, Ashlynne!

[@onairwitherika4644]

This was nice to watch. My evenings are nothing like this as a mom of 3 😁 we usually eat dinner, baths and showers, play a family game such as Uno or Sorry and then watch TV and wind down before sleep.

[@priscillajimenez27]

5:35 even Ashlynne's tea water is jamming to the background music lol

[@beckybeaver1988]

I absolutely love Jane Eyre! I'm also a peppermint tea lover at night too! You've inspired me a lot in 2020 about being a minimalist, decluttering and also finding my love for house plants.

[@scarlettsandford314]

I find so much solace in your routine vids, so simple no unnecessary steps I LOVE IT!!

[@j.n.cahill1086]

I really liked Jane Eyre! My life has been in an upheaval for a while but recently I have started more of a routine. After work if it is nice I take the dogs out in our backyard and throw a ball around until they get tired, then I read or get on my phone while relaxing in our hammock. Then I feed the dogs, myself, and watch KZbin/Booktube. After that I tidy up a space or two, fold clothes if I need to do that/start more clothes, do my journaling, take a bath (I also read in baths) or shower, scroll on Goodreads/review books I have finished if applicable, then get ready for bed, let the dogs out once more, put on a documentary and go to bed. Occasionally I will watch a movie or something instead.

[@ananya1294]

Hi Ashlynne! I've been following you for close to a year now. But the one thing that I genuinely love about your videos is how calming they're. Something about the aesthetic really soothes me.

[@ruthborg6076]

I just bought the same electric glass kettle, and I love it! My evening routine varies, but some things always make their way in: hot tea, a good book, my daily yoga practice, and some relaxing music while I play a short word game. I have recently been giving myself a simple hand massage before sleeping that I find to be a truly useful and loving act for myself after a long day.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh that’s awesome!! Sounds so lovely 🤍

[@DaughterOfTheKingdom16]

your community is so cute!! i love it

[@MindfulnesswithMads]

Love love love this routine!! Reading is definitely something I should incorporate more into my evenings. My favorite part of my nights are drinking my tea :)

[@healthyvegansoul9668]

Your videos are so calming! :) I love to do yoga in the evening or a meditation. It helps me to sleep better since I often have issues with my sleeping schedule :/

[@tobiernotobie]

Great video!💖💖💖

[@priscillajimenez27]

When it comes to junk mail at home or my office day job, I try to remove the address from their lists online through a form, or email/chat, or I'll call, or if there's a return address I'll send it back and tell them to remove us. That way they're saving on printing with ink and paper and postage. 😊🌿

[@tinylubbug]

As someone with acne-prone dry skin and a 10-step Korean skincare regimen, I wish I could use your skincare routine! Alas, I would look like a pizza if I did.

[@priscillajimenez27]

What's your regimen?

[@tinylubbug]

@@priscillajimenez27 Curology for tret and azelaic acid, niacinimide, hyaluronic acid, and ceremides, plus some other moisturizing ingredients

[@villageintheforest5377]

Thank you so much. I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh I’m so glad to hear it!! 🥰

[@simplyw_daniela9536]

Sooo relaxing!!! Love it!!! Thanks for another amazing video! 🤍🤍

[@nessav6257]

Yes! Make prints! That's a great idea!

[@connief8579]

Your plant portrait is so beautiful! 💖

[@wanderingpharmacist6555]

Your contents are so inspiring. I just love watching your videos! Love from Japanxx 🇯🇵💖

[@serenitynow9980]

I like the "slow living" attitude. I need to adopt it because I know it would help me with insomnia. Thanks for the chill video

[@haiderfarhan34]

Your videos are amazing 👏

[@Akta]

I can't decide if I love my morning or evening routine more. My evening routine is very similar, even down to the choice of tea! I have peppermint and liquorice tea in the evenings, and omg I look forward to it everyday. I definitely need to incorporate more painting into my evenings

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh that sounds so lovely!! Peppermint tea is one of my favorites!! 🤍

[@indianstudywithme8255]

I am obsessed with these routines ❤️

[@MihaelaClaudiaPuscas]

I always take some time for myself in the evening! It’s my introvert way of recharging my batteries not only with energy but also with positivity! Then I can start a new day with a “can do” attitude!

[@Stitters]

I love your channel, just watching your videos helps me to relax Since starting my job, I leave at 7 and don't get home until about 8.. I'm hoping to find ways to calm my mornings and evenings that seem to be so rushed At the moment, everything comes down to just finding the time to eat and shower before bed, my daily routine is just too fast and tiring I like the idea of a cup of tea before bed so I may give that a try, it would be a good start anyway

[@gauravilombar]

The lefty pen grip literally hits home;) loved the video

[@hosnamn2478]

You inspire me. ♥️

[@leapan8702]

Hey, Ashylnne! Love your videos! In the future, I hope you could share how you practice hygge at home during summer.

[@andreamarie9526]

Awww Love this! Where are those cute coasters from?! I love cuddling my cat, cooking a nice meal, smuggle time and a show with Jake and of course some nice tea or reading! Would love to put more time to Piano though and learning my camera haha, I will get there, I hear you on working out...it can be so hard, not as fun as bike rides or doing things outside that are naturally active vs work out videos, I miss gymnastics for this reason. Happy weekend to you and hope you enjoy yours!

[@meriemkecita6769]

I really enjoyed your evening routine ❤

[@AshlynneEaton]

Oh thanks so much!!

[@meriemkecita6769]

@@AshlynneEaton u'r welcome ❤❤

[@elizabethbednarcik3311]

I agree that although watering my plants is a chore, it relaxes me and I enjoy it.

[@priscillajimenez27]

I can't say I have a night routine per se since I have 2 jobs now so once I get home from my night job, I quickly change, clean my face, brush my hair, and get to bed so I get enough sleep for my morning job.

[@user-Anna0.0]

Your videos are really cool. Keep going💙

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thank you Anna!! 🤍

[@EhrLiicH]

Hey, i love your videos, especially the routine videos! could you do a saturday and sunday routine video? Nice greetings from Germany 🥰

[@LeaZun]

Loved seeing this video ❤️. You are so so inspiring and calming, love your personality so so much! Stay as you are and on KZbin forever pleaase 😜😻❤️

[@esthersalcove2650]

Jane Eyre is my favorite novel of all time! I definitely enjoy a variety of different types of books but that story is by far my favorite

[@bri4940]

Wow your watercolour painting would be soo cute as a print! I would buy it!

[@brisk9611]

I have a solid night time routine now 😊. My morning one is still chaotic but working on it!

[@jamiesjoy]

My morning routine is great, but my evening is a little chaotic right now and I need to improve it. This was really helpful and gave me a lot of good ideas, thank you 🥰

[@AshlynneEaton]

I’m so glad to hear that!! 🤍

[@aliciahird855]

My evening routine is to catch up on social media as I am a mom of one so I am busy during the day.. Then I make a cup of tea while watching tv and then I focus on hygiene and get into night wear and prepare for the next day, Sometimes I will read a book, do a bible devotional and then sleep.

[@user-fq4ni3bv6z]

I really like the idea of hello fresh I just with there was less plastic packaging :/

[@et4182]

Enjoyed the video! :)

[@aliyamirza3488]

Jane Eyre ♥️ loved this video!

[@mymynavarro3817]

All I remember with Jane Eyre, is that, it was a long novel and I had to finish my book report 😊 But I think, this book was my first encounter with the classics 🤓

[@waitingforfall7803]

My night routine definitely involves tea and novels too!

[@kamalnarayanrai5059]

Love you ashlynne your are the best love from india ❤️

Where is your watercolor pouch from?? I’m OBSESSED with it

[@haiderfarhan34]

Wow

[@hawksoob]

Usually a glass of wine with dinner - on the balcony of my apartment if it's nice - then maybe a movie or TV show. At 9:30, though, the TV goes off, the laptop is closed, the devices are put on Do Not Disturb. I turn out the lights and then burn a candle and some incense, make some chamomile tea and drink it while I listen to meditative music like Binaural Beats while I read from the Kindle (I made a goal to read 21 books in 2021. As of today, I've read 24). By 10:15 or so I'll stop reading and get ready and be in bed by 10:30. Usually get up at 6:30 the next morning without an alarm. I've been doing this for a few months after years of staying up late getting constant stimulation from devices and TV and video games and whathaveyou. Going from watching TV while surfing the web on the laptop AND checking social media on the phone then immediately to bed (where I would always make one last check for little red alerts in case I missed something) was really wreaking havoc on my mental state.

[@dianaaaaaahhh]

Yes Jane Eyre! My absolute favorite. My middle name is Jane after her ❤️

[@jerilyn-ourhomeschooltable]

My routine: make dinner, clean as I go and do remaining dishes right after dinner, any chores (laundry) that didn’t get done earlier, take a shower to relax and do my skin care, have a small bit of dessert, catch up on YT/watch a show, brush teeth and go to bed.

[@pabbisettyravindranath1474]

You are wonderful women systematically planned every work

[@renewwithbrooke]

As a certified trainer, I’m so glad you are working out! Just a tip, when you do your squats, make sure that your knees do not go over your toes! Your shins and knees will thank you!

[@AshlynneEaton]

Thanks so much for the tip!!

[@janum6291]

Actually the main thing that I love in your home is the sunshine which is coming into your home 🏡 it is very asthetic and also I usually love these types routine videos from you 😁. I love love it. Actually to be honest my routine is definitely not like this....

[@christinefindorff5328]

My evening routine: Finish up any homework or other stuff I need to get done Do dishes while my partner makes dinner for us Eat dinner Spend a little while planning my next day, going over any reminders and things I want to make sure I get done. If it’s early I’ll spend some time either playing animal crossing, watching anime, or watching a show with my boyfriend. Take a shower and brush my teeth Set my alarm and respond to any last few messages on my phone Then I get into bed and my boyfriend and I like to spend some time reading in bed together before we go to sleep around 11pm

your dinner is goood;)

Bet the mailman or mailwoman like delivering mail there with the consolidated boxes. I thought they only did that for apartment/condos usually but makes sense for a home community. Do the UPS/Amazon/FedEx deliver to door or they leave a slip?

[@brisk9611]

Most newer suburban homes have those type of mailboxes 😊 they’re only for USPS (U.S. postal service). Everything else gets delivered at the front door. Sometimes USPS delivers to homes if the packages are too big. lol we definitely don’t check our mail every day tho 😅 maybe 2-4 times a month since all the important stuff gets emailed. It’s usually just junk mail lately.
