They say to win the morning is to win the day. But clearly, they are not in the know. To win the day, one must win the night before.
A proper routine de la nuit involves more than simply ‘bathe before bed’.
Honestly, the thought of skipping any of the following five steps is blasphemous.
But luckily, Acquaint’s on the job. So don’t fret, your – and your family’s – beauty sleep is safe with us.
Step 1: A calming cup of tea
Not to be confused with a morning, midday or even afternoon brew, your evening blend must put relaxation at the forefront.
A non-caffeinated, herbal tea is just the ticket. Especially if it includes chamomile or lavender.
So to begin your bedtime routine, have Acquaint pop into the kitchen to fix you a cuppa. We’ll produce a pour with the perfect shade of translucency – enough to see the bottom, but never enough to be confused for water.
Step 2: A soothing soak in the bath
As we all know, the best bath starts with the ambience. Soft, warm lighting. Slow, peaceful music. And three lit candles. Nothing more – and nothing less – will do.
Next, the temperature. It must be hot, but not too hot that it interrupts one’s graceful descent into submersion.
Finally, the water composition. Relax the muscles with some ancient mineral bath salts. And to hydrate the skin, a few drops of bath oil will be in order.
Yes, oil. Because with Acquaint by your side, you don’t need to stress about slipping.
Step 3: A thorough teeth, skin and hair regimen
Acquaint understands the importance of putting your best face forward – even if it’s only going on your pillow.
So if you need a hand applying your moisturiser? Acquaint can help. (Distributed in upwards strokes only, of course. Never down.)
And if you’ve got brunch with the girls tomorrow? We’ll get your hair in rollers, pronto. We can hear you now, ‘Who, me? Oh, I just rolled out of bed!’
Step 4: A fashion-forward pyjama set
As you’re well aware, we hardly came this far only to ruin it by sleeping in a scratchy set.
So when it’s time to head to bed, we’ll help you into your silkiest sleep suit – eye mask included – and cosiest cable-knit socks.
With the white noise machine on and a good book in hand, we’ll bid you adieu for the night. And leave the ‘sleeping’ part to you.
Step 5: Midnight catch up (at your discretion)
Oftentimes, one needs to feed – or relieve – oneself, overnight.
With Acquaint staying for a sleepover, allow us to guide you from door to door. This way, you won’t have to relinquish even a second of your well-deserved shuteye.
And if it’s that last slice of cake in the fridge you’re after? It would seem a shame to dine alone.
Are you in need of at-home, overnight care? Acquaint has the stuff that dreams are made of.
So give us a call on 03 9267 9090.
