Restless Nights? These 11 Products Will Give You the Best Sleep of Your Life

When I’m feeling nostalgic, I think back to the days when staying up late was a rite of passage. I resented my 7 o’clock bedtime and hoped against hope that my parents would let me stay up just a couple more hours. Even as a college student, all-nighters were the norm and forgoing sleep felt like the only way to have a social life. Well, needless to say that I, along with many of you, no longer want to function on too few hours of sleep. We’re big fans of sleep around here and will try almost anything to ensure we’re getting at least 8 hours a night. That’s why we’ve rounded up the best sleep products. Here’s hoping they help you get some restorative shut-eye, too.

Our evening routines are on lock. We shut the phone down a few hours before bedtime, keep the bedroom cool, and eat a light dinner. (And of course, wear our favorite breathable pajamas.) But what happens when your body or mind just won’t let you fall asleep? Thanks to a lot of testing (re: sleepless nights), I’ve got the answers. 13 to be exact.

The Best Sleep Products for a Peaceful Slumber

From calm-inducing capsules to relaxing pillow mists and the most luxurious sleep mask you’ve ever slipped on, these are the tried-and-true products that’ll help us all ease into a peaceful slumber. As always, consult your physician if you have specific needs or questions! 

Fleur Marché Sleep, Plz Patches

If you want to feel calm and relaxed, stat, these patches are your answer. My partner and I tried them for the first time a few nights ago and we were floored by just how quickly we were whisked off to sleep. Not only that, but we woke up with energy levels we hadn’t felt in months (busy summer schedules will do that to you). Simply apply to your inner forearm and let the patches work their magic. Pro tip: these work great for long flights.

Equilibria Sleep Gummies

These (totally delish) cherry-flavored gummies are your ticket to a luxurious night’s sleep. It’s composed of 25mg full-spectrum hemp and 5mg hemp-derived compounds as well as our favorite sleep power players L-theanine and chamomile. I love taking this after a long day of running or being on my feet. These gummies also doesn’t have the terrible aftertaste that other edible sleep supplements leave behind.

Moon Juice Magnesi-Om

If powders and drinks are more your style, Moon Juice’s Magnesi-Om is a great alternative. With magnesium and L-theanine, this one also helps you wind down (body and mind) and tastes like a bedtime treat. 

Ritual BioSeries™ Melatonin

We know and love Ritual for its hero multivitamin. But now, alongside the releases of gut health, pre-natal, and skin-boosting supplements comes its take on melatonin—and we’re obsessed. It promotes a natural sleep-wake cycle by releasing a steady stream of melatonin through the night. And unlike other melatonin supplements, you won’t wake up feeling drowsy. This one is best for those who are highly stimulated throughout the day and need a hand in finding mental and physical calm.

Vitruvi Move Diffuser

Pour a few drops of your favorite lavender essential oil and prepare to drift off. The updated cordless version of the brand’s viral diffuser is a great way to level up your bedroom—and any room for that matter. If you want to get fancy, pair it with Vitruvi’s Nightcap diffuser blend. Featuring black pepper, blood orange, and ginger, it’s the trifecta of smoky-sweet, sleep-inducing scents.

OSEA x Parachute Sleep Time Bath Salts

If you’re a bath-before-bed type, look no further than these bath salts with lavender and essential oils to help relax your body. 

OSEA Vagus Nerve Pillow Mist

The vagus nerve is the longest cranial nerve in the body and activates the body’s relaxation response, while helping regulate stress. It’s a light and subtle scent that we like spraying on our linens just before crawling into bed. 

Lunya Washable Silk Sleep Eye Mask

Sometimes it really is the simplest things that work best. A few nights ago, I couldn’t fall asleep for the life of me. I was exhausted and nothing was working. Then I realized there was a bit of light creeping in from the moon, popped my sleep mask on, and fell asleep within minutes. This viral, silky eye mask is well worth the hype. Trust.

RE.VITYL Sleep Mist

A few spritzes of this sleep mist on my pillow at night make my bedroom feel like a luxe hotel experience. Featuring a soothing blend of organic lavender, rose, and chamomile essential oils, this mist is designed to promote melatonin release and ease your mind. Call it science or sleep magic—either way, you’ll soon be drifting off to dreamland.

Nodpod Weighted Eye Mask

If I need to nap off a headache or go to bed awash with anxiety, this weighted eye mask does just the trick. I love that the four weighted pods fit your unique facial structure, offering a soothing pressure that coaxes me toward a restful night’s sleep.

Kin Euphorics Dream Light

While that 8 p.m. glass of wine might make you feel drowsy, it actually disrupts your sleep mid-snooze—preventing you from waking up feeling totally restored. Consider this a better nightcap. With calming Reishi mushroom, sleep-promoting melatonin, and digestion-supporting botanicals, it’s a smoky-spicy sipper that’s perfect for ending the evening.

A Zuppa Toscana Soup to Warm Up Chilly Nights

Every Sunday night through the fall, I make a big pot of soup. You guys know that I love my Soup Sunday ritual and it’s been so fun seeing all of yours this year! This Zuppa Toscana soup is what’s on deck this weekend, and it is cozy in a bowl. And one thing that I love about it is that it’s hearty enough to feel like a full one-bowl dinner thanks to the sausage, potatoes, kale, and cauliflower (this is a real meal you guys!) It’s definitely become one of our family’s favorite soups that’s on heavy rotation at our house, and I have a feeling it’ll become a new fave for many of you, too.

What is Zuppa Toscana soup?

Let’s start by talking about Zuppa Toscana soup (pronounced zoo-pah to-scah-nah). There are a few different versions, and let’s be honest most Americans only know about the one from Olive Garden. The actual meaning of “zuppa toscana” in Italian is “Tuscan Soup,” and here’s where it gets a little confusing. The classic Tuscan soup is typically full of chopped veggies—carrots, onion, kale, potatoes—plus white beans, tomatoes, sometimes some pancetta, and roasted bread. It is absolutely delicious—on my first trip to Tuscany when I was in college, I ate a bowl of Tuscan soup every day and fell in love. But is this that classic Tuscan soup? Not even close.

Enter, the “classic” American version of Zuppa Toscana soup which is also incredibly delicious, it’s just different. It’s rich and creamy, and typically can be a bit heavy, so I wanted to try making a lighter version that would still feel really nourishing. I kept the sausage and potatoes but used less cream and lots more veggies. If you’re looking for an exact copycat version of the beloved Olive Garden soup, this is not it—however, it’s every bit as delicious and packed with protein. And it makes the perfect leftovers to enjoy all week.

How to make Zuppa Toscana soup

Here are the ingredients you’ll need:

  • mild or hot Italian sausage (your preference!)
  • red pepper flakes
  • onion
  • carrots
  • garlic
  • chicken broth
  • potatoes
  • cauliflower
  • lacinato kale
  • milk and half-and-half
  • thyme
  • parmesan

The method is super simple. You’re going to start by cooking the Italian sausage on its own. The best way to cook Italian sausage is to brown it in a sauté pan until it’s crumbly and flavorful, and it’s well worth doing this as a separate first step. Then you’re going to drain and set aside the sausage while you sauté the other ingredients.

Warm up some olive oil in your pot, then stir in the chopped onions, carrots, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning. Cook it all for about 5 minutes. Then you just add the broth, cubed potatoes, kale, and cauliflower and simmer until it’s all tender, about 20 minutes. The final step is adding in the milk, half-and-half, and cooked sausage. Once the sausage is warmed through, you can serve it in bowls and top with thyme, parmesan, and olive oil.

How to store leftover soup

One of the best things about soup is that usually, there are enough leftovers to eat for lunch all week. Sometimes I’ll even double this recipe so I can store half in the freezer so I’ve got a full family dinner ready to go on busy weeknights. This soup can be refrigerated for up to 5 days, but if you’d like to store it for longer, here’s how to freeze Zuppa Toscana soup (or any other soup for that matter):

  1. Let your soup cool completely.
  2. Then, pour soup into freezer-safe containers or gallon-sized freezer bags.
  3. Label the container with the name of the soup, as well as the date when you made it. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months!
  4. To thaw, I take it out of the freezer about 24 hours before to thaw in the refrigerator, then I warm it in a soup pot when ready to eat.

Description

This is a lightened-up version of the classic Zuppa Toscana soup, thanks to a little less cream and lots more veggies. It’s nourishing and delicious and packed with protein—and it makes the perfect leftovers to enjoy all week.


  • 8 ounces mild Italian sausage (1/2 pound)
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 68 cups chicken broth
  • 2 Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1″ cubes (about 3 cups) – or sub in sweet potatoes
  • 1/2 head cauliflower, cut into 1” pieces (about 3 cups)
  • 1/2 bunch lacinato kale, destemmed & coarsely chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup half and half (you can swap in coconut milk for all dairy)
  • garnish with fresh thyme, lots of grated parmesan, and olive oil

  1. Cook the Italian sausage and red pepper flakes in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until the sausage is crumbly and browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Warm a tablespoon of olive oil in dutch oven, then stir in the chopped onions, carrots, minced garlic, and italian seasoning; cook until the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chicken broth and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the cubed potatoes, kale, and cauliflower and simmer until fork tender, about 20 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium; gradually stir in the milk, half-and-half, and cooked sausage. Cook and stir until the sausage is warmed through. Serve immediately topped with thyme, parmesan, and olive oil.

Notes

  • Store in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • This soup is gluten-free, and can be made dairy-free by swapping the milk and half-and-half for a nondairy substitute like coconut milk.
  • Prep Time: 30 minutes
  • Cook Time: 40

Movie Nights Are Back—8 Tips to Make Yours Memorable

Is there anything better than a movie night? While I love an evening out, the introverted, on-the-cusp-of-30 gal in me is always down for staying in. Transitioning from my daytime, work-from-home loungewear to my post-6 p.m. sweats is a dream on its own. And when I have zero plans beyond kicking back with a cat on my lap to browse the streaming app du jour, I’m convinced I’ve found it: pure, unadulterated bliss. But there are times, of course, when we want our evening in to be a little more intentional, which is where creative movie night ideas come into play.

8 Movie Night Ideas to Elevate Any Night In

I have friends who are more than happy to cosplay as potatoes with me on the couch. But sometimes, the evening inspires me to take my hum-drum movie night up a notch. When the occasion calls for it, I’m happy to have a few go-to movie night ideas up my sleeve. From snacks to serve to invitations that are *extra* in the best way, this is how to plan a movie night you’ll remember long after the credits roll.

1. Identify a Theme in Advance

While not every gathering requires a theme, a movie night is the perfect opportunity to structure your evening around a specific idea, it opens the door for everyone to get a little creative. The easiest way to do this? Match your theme to your movie. Some ideas: decade theme, sports theme, music theme (Bohemian Rhapsody pairs perfectly with an epic Freddie Mercury jacket), horror theme—the list goes on!

From there, you can choose to let your theme guide the rest of your movie night ideas. Themed decor, invitations, food, and the film itself—if you’re new to hosting movie night, choosing a theme makes it easy.

2. Step Up Your Invitations

Sure, you could send a quick text a few hours before (movie night @ mine. bring snacks). But… you could also have a little fun with the invites. I love the idea of taking things truly old-school and going the paper route. Find a movie night ticket template online, customize it with your details, and mail the tickets a few weeks in advance to your guests. It’s a fun, personalized way of letting your friends and family know that they’re in for a treat.

If going to the post office is a little too archaic for your speed, send an invite via email. Sites like Paperless Post and Evite offer tons of affordable options so you can send your invite faster.

3. Opt for a Crowd-Pleasing Film

Unfortunately, all of your other movie night ideas will fall flat if you don’t select a film everyone will love. Of course, it’s hard to land on a pick that appeals to all viewers. Some of us obsess over rom-coms (me) while others love a good action flick. And if kiddos are in attendance, you want to ensure the movie is family-friendly. Thankfully, with all of the options available today, there are a few tried-and-true picks that deliver for everyone, every time.

  • Paddington 2. That’s right, this seemingly juvenile film has been dubbed “the perfect movie” by reputable sources. And this writer? 100% in agreement. It’s heartwarming, aesthetically pleasing, and full of beyond-charming British accents. What’s not to love?
  • The Parent Trap. Iconic Meredith Blake outfits, lines we’ve been reciting since childhood, and of course, an early Nancy Meyers favorite. If there are kids in the audience and they haven’t yet been initiated to this campy classic, now’s the time.
  • Fantastic Mr. Fox. Wes Anderson is an easy pick for movie night. With a few of his films’ usual suspects (Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, and Jason Schwartzman) starring—alongside George Clooney and Meryl Streep—it’s hard not to fall for the children’s classic brought to life. Alternatively, if your movie night is kid-free, opt for The Grand Budapest Hotel. Anything Edward Norton is a movie night-must.
  • Princess Bride. A true epic. With iconic lines like the Inigo Montoya monologue, everyone will be reciting along. It’s original, unabashed, and goes all in on itself. Also: a late-80s Robin Wright! She alone makes the film.

4. Pair With an Easy Meal

With all this planning going into your movie night ideas, it’s unlikely that you’ll have lots of time for a multi-course meal. And when the film is the main attraction, you shouldn’t have to sweat it! The key here is opting for dishes that support hands-on snacking. Pizza, cheese boards, and a snack bar filled with treats galore. If you’re going to use utensils, then for a cozy movie night, chili is your answer.

Ahead, I’m sharing my go-to Camille Styles favorites for a movie night in. With carbs galore and a solid mix of sweet and savory, you can rest assured: your bases are covered.

Bacon, Apple, and Sweet Potato Pizza with Crispy Sage

While I’d wager that any and all pizzas are fair game for movie night, this has to be my favorite. The trifecta of bacon, apples, and sweet potatoes creates a blend of sweet flavor and crispy textures that sit perfectly atop a thin crust. While this dough only serves two, it’s easy to multiply and make many for a crowd. Alternatively, you can buy a pre-made dough and top as you please. And for even more ease, takeout pizza is perfect.

The Ultimate Fall Charcuterie Board

Charcuterie boards are the ultimate movie night snack. They’re an easy and aesthetically pleasing way to welcome all of the season’s flavors into your home. You’re welcome to mix and match ingredients as you please, but keep in mind a consistent color palette, a few good cheeses, and hearty meats to ensure everyone’s satisfied.

Pita & Kebab Board

While I’ve loved the trend of eating everything in bowls, I’ll also happily enjoy all of my meals from a board. Case in point: this flavor-packed pita and kebab board that couldn’t be easier to assemble. The majority of components can be store-bought, so all that’s left for you to do is assemble to your heart’s content.

Loaded Sweet Potato Fries

I repeat: loaded. sweet. potato. fries. I live life by the rule that when I can make a good thing all the better, I will. Sweet potato fries are delicious on their own, but when toppings of your choosing get added to the mix, they become downright addicting. There are endless ways you can customize your bowl, but I like switching between Mediterranean-inspired (chickpeas, salty feta, tzatziki, and kalamata olives) and Mexican (guacamole, pico, black beans, sour cream, cilantro, iceberg lettuce, and cotija). There’s no way you can go wrong.

Bhutta Street Corn Guacamole

You thought your guacamole recipe was good—trust: this one is better. The Indian-inspired appetizer takes the classic base of avocados, cilantro, red onion, and lime up a notch with jalapeño, charred corn, chaat masala, and a kick of red chili powder. You’ve been warned: you’re hosting every movie night after you make this. Simply pop a bag of chips and you’re good to go.

Cookie and Candy Board

For when you’re watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and want to give your movie night all the Willy Wonka vibes. Of course, cookies and candy does not a well-balanced meal make. But if you’re at a loss for what to serve for dessert during the film, it can be as simple as arranging all the good stuff on a board. Take things up a notch and make your own cookies (may I suggest these?). Although, in the spirit of ease and embracing a little laziness, a trip to Trader Joe’s will work just fine.

Vegetarian Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili

Alongside bowls of butter-laced popcorn, chili is the perfect movie night companion. It’s hearty, warming, and in the case of this recipe, suitable for all dietary needs. With a blend of equally good-for-you and delicious ingredients (hi—sweet potatoes, black beans, peppers, and more) it’ll quickly become a movie night fave. Scratch that, a year-round, top-tier meal.

5. Mimic the Movie Theater

When it comes to movie night ideas, the more the merrier—and you can bet we’re going all in. If you have the space, I like the idea of arranging comfy seats in rows, giving audience members the full cinema experience. Be sure to turn the lights down low, pull the curtains, and maybe even invest in surround sound if you feel so inclined. Remember: this is not your average *scrolls Netflix forever* evening on the couch. It’s movie night! So honor it as such.

6. Take the Film Outside

If you live in a warm area or are hosting your movie night during the summer, it can be fun to take the festivities outside. A backyard movie night can make for a magical experience. Invest in a projector, strew blankets, cushions, and pillows along the grass, and pack a picnic of movie-perfect meals. To take the decor a step further, I love the idea of illuminating the space with a set of string lights and lanterns. It’s the perfect way to add a little romance and surprise and delight to your movie night vibes.

7. Offer an Intermission

To send the theater experience home, an intermission is key. Particularly if you’re watching a longer movie (I’m talking Oppenheimer length) or if you’re hosting a movie night with kids, an opportunity to use the bathroom, fill your cup, or grab a snack will be much appreciated.

8. Make It Cozy

Last but not least, you’ll want to keep things cozy all night long. That goes for everything from the living room setup to the food you serve to the movie you watch. (Some people consider horror movies cozy, I’m not one of them.) For all of your movie night ideas, keep this theme of coziness in mind as you plan your evening. With every gathering, even one as simple as a movie night, it’s important to remember that you’re inviting people into your home to be heard, loved, and cherished. In my book, coziness achieves all of that and more.

101 “Never Have I Ever” Questions to Heat Up Your Game Nights

There’s something endlessly fun—and juicy—about telling our deepest, darkest secrets. Whether it’s played with casual friends or our closest confidantes, there’s a reason “never have I ever” questions still intrigue us years after our first game. (Mine was middle school. Yours?) We feel giddy sharing something no one knows about us—surprising them and changing their perspective. And we feel seen when others can relate, knowing we’re not alone in the silly, beautiful goofiness of life. Sure, “Never Have I Ever” may just be a game-night favorite, but it’s also a way we grow closer to those around us.

And if you haven’t realized it yet, the game doesn’t have to be left in the past. “Never Have I Ever” never, ever gets old. In fact, it’s often how friends and I wrap up the evening, sitting around the fire or cozying up on the couch to bear our souls. (Yes, it can get intense.) I can guarantee, no matter how well you know each other at the beginning, the “never have I ever” questions ahead guarantee you’ll be fast friends by the end of the night.
