We’ve all heard of how happiness from within reflects on our physical self. Want to feel happier and rejuvenated? The mantra is simply new experiences! Studies say, trying new things can generate happy hormones, increase energy levels and grow new brain cells. So without any further delay, here’s our list of 4 things you must try in July:
1. Luxurious Sleep Routines
Beauty sleep is everything, so ensure you prioritise your 8 hours of restful sleep above everything else this month! We can’t stress enough on how important adequate sleep is for a healthy body, mind, and skin! If you have trouble unwinding during the course of your day, bedtime is your best bet for a pampering, restful sleep ritual. How? Here are some things you can give a shot: Drink a cup of warm milk or chamomile tea 30 minutes before calling it a night, turn off screens (read a book maybe) an hour before you sleep, consider using a sleep mist scented with calming essential oils on your pillow and snuggle under a crisp new sheet in your super-soft socks! However you choose to go about your relaxing bedtime routine, we’ve got you! Check out Smytten trial products for more ideas on sleep-promoting solutions.
2. Eat, Drink & Use Friendly Bacteria
Panic not, by friendly bacteria we’re referring to the inclusion of more probiotics in your food, skincare and haircare. It’s popular knowledge that probiotics contain healthy bacteria that help digestion. However, more recent research takes it a step further by attributing glowing skin and reduced hair fall to the consumption of probiotics. Probiotic-rich food such as curd, buttermilk, kimchi, kefir, and apple cider vinegar also keeps your tummy health in check during monsoon.

3. Walk Backwards
No, we’re not kidding! Walking backwards or reverse walking is an actual thing! Reverse walking for 10 minutes everyday is a small routine change that can go a long way when it comes to your health and well-being. It sharpens your senses, changes up your daily routine, and also burns more calories. Because it is an unfamiliar activity, walking backwards also surprises your body in a good way. Of course, reverse walking should be done in a clear and safe space, with no danger of traffic and obstacles. You can try it in a park or a garden or a clear stretch within your home.
4. Try Innovative 2-in-1 Products
Make your life more utility-based and sustainable by trying an innovative 2-in-1 product. It could be a double-duty beauty product such as a lip and cheek tint, or acne-fighting sunscreen. Or a sustainable innovation like this wooden spork (spoon + fork) available on Smytten trial products that you can carry everywhere to say goodbye to disposable plastic cutlery! Other examples of cool 2-in-1 products are fridge magnets or rings that double up as bottle openers, and sweeping or mop slippers that clean the floor as you walk!
