Bedroom upgrade: Create a pretty nightstand

nightstand essentials

Summer has a way of putting a spring in your step – who can resist the allure of sunshine? But, even at the most sociable time of year, it’s about striking a balance between getting out there and making the most of the glorious weather and allowing yourself time and space to recharge your batteries.

rêve en vert After running around the city for adventurous days in the sunshine, what could be more appealing than coming back to your sanctuary to switch into your pyjamas and find balance and relaxation for a well-deserved dose of ‘me-time’? As the last rays of sun hit the rooftop of the capital and fatigue sets in, we at Your Coffee Break find it essential to have a pretty nightstand with a collection of our favourite beauty products, scented candles, jewellery and a bedside lamp to make our bedroom more home.

As any lady knows, it’s important to have our wardrobes refreshed with floaty skirts, dresses and blouses for the warmer summer months so why would we stay away from upgrading our bedrooms? Can we discuss how pretty our nightstand is right now? Keep reading and let us advise you where to start in creating a peaceful environment through your nightstand.

willow-organic-beauty-box-setHelping us to create a pretty nightstand is rêve en vert (dream in green) an ethical fashion website born out of founders; former Stella McCartney press officer; Cora Hilts and Natasha Tucker who has a background in organic farming. The duo set out to create a place to shop conscientiously without forsaking style for ethics. With their products made locally in the UK using 90% of organic ingredients, it’s no surprise that we were excited to hear that this online retail platform is now also launching beauty products, scents and candles perfect for adding a dose of luxe to your bedroom.

willow-organic-beauty-lime-candleOur nightstand staple has always been the same; candlelight sets a great mood so we loved adding the WO candle to our collection. With its subtle lime fragrance, the candles create a refreshing atmosphere so that we can slow down before and after work, making us more positive and mentally ready to take on bigger and more challenging projects.

Hand lotion does wonders but having the willow organics line on your nightstand, offering a combination of hand and body lotion, has your skin feeling nourished and is the perfect calming combination for a slow morning or unwinding after work. Being caressed in silk, the lime is the secret but with the hint of lavender too it’s so relaxing it will even have you carrying it around on your purse. Another essential for your nightstand is the luxurious bath oil; the perfect excuse to bring out the champagne whilst you indulge in a soothing bath.

It’s easy to find an oasis of calm with rêve en vert’s willow organics line. Every day isn’t a peaceful day but treasuring your time in the morning and  after work will make you feel balanced and ready for anything. The products give you that sense of well being and confidence to take on the working day and what better way to welcome the summer than with a beautifully upgraded nightstand?
