Must ReadWhat's Hot

Ladies, you don’t have to look like old shosho in bed


Hey ladies out there, let’s take a steaming cup of chamomile tea, as we discuss your nightly rituals.

Well, I know this is something that many overlook by arguing that you only need to look sexy and hot during the day but not at night.

Yes, I am here to argue that you don’t have to scare your partner with that one ugly pajama that is washed once a week.

Over the weekend, I had a girl-to-girl chat with one of my friends about the nightly ritual, and here is what she told me, “I have noticed something interesting lately. We put so much effort into looking fabulous during the day, but we sometimes forget about ourselves at night. We shouldn’t have to look like old ‘shoshos’ (grandmother) when we go to bed!”

On the other hand, Mary, also a friend, told me that she has decided to maintain grace and beauty, even while preparing for a good night’s rest.

“I admit. Yes, sometimes I don’t care about how I look at night. I just put on my normal pajamas with that sweaty kitamba to cover my head. However, I have decided to make myself beautiful while going to bed,” Mary told this writer.

Just as a good friend, here is why you should look your best as a lady while going to bed:

Confidence and self-esteem

When you feel good about your appearance, it can boost your self-esteem and overall confidence. This can have a positive impact on your mental and emotional well-being.

Self-Care

Taking the time to look good before bed can be a form of self-care. It’s a way to pamper yourself and acknowledge your own worth, reinforcing the idea that you deserve to look and feel your best.

Better sleep

Some people find that dressing comfortably and feeling good in their sleepwear can actually improve the quality of their sleep. When you’re comfortable and relaxed, you’re more likely to sleep well.

Feeling prepared

Waking up looking good can make you feel more prepared for the day ahead. It can save time in the morning and make you feel ready to tackle whatever comes your way.

Fostering a positive mindset

Preparing yourself for bed can signal to your brain that it’s time to wind down and relax. This can help reduce stress and anxiety, promoting a more peaceful and restful night’s sleep.

Maintaining personal style

For some, maintaining a sense of style and personal expression is important even in the privacy of their own bedroom. Feeling good about your appearance is a way to stay true to your own style.

Spousal and personal connection

Feeling good about your appearance can contribute to maintaining a romantic and personal connection with a partner. It can enhance intimacy and strengthen the bond between couples.

Positive habits

Establishing a routine of taking care of your appearance before bed can be a part of a broader habit of self-care. These habits can lead to better physical and mental health.
