Blissful Sleep with Boutique

-

IN TODAY'S FAST-PACED world, we feel that sixteen (16) waking hours is not enough for us to finish work, exercise and spend time with our families so much so we scrimp on one important thing: sleep. Just as we profoundly emphasize the importance of eating a well-balanced diet, exercising regularly and having a nightly regimen for our bodies and skin to be on optimal health, so is sleep. The quality of our sleep directly affects the quality of our waking life, which includes mental sharpness, productivi­ty, emotional balance, creativity, physical vitality and even our weight. No other activity delivers so many benefits with so little effort!

It is important to know that it is not just the hours in bed that it is vital, but the quality of sleep we spend within those hours. When we feel groggy, light headed or even having troubles waking up in the morning --- it means we did not have a good quality of sleep. So here are a few friendly tips to give you a good night's sleep:

1. Create a relaxing bed time routine. This may include taking a hot bath, drinking milk and reading a book or magazine.

2. Eat right to sleep right. Avoid eating fatty and salty foods before going to bed as this takes more time to digest making it harder for you to sleep.

3. Create a good sleeping environmen­t. Keep your room dark and the noise level down because too much noise and light in the room may distract you making it harder for you to sleep.

And when it comes to good quality bed sheets, Boutique Bed Linens by Canadian has the complete assortment. Its newly launched collection­s of 500 thread count Supima cotton and 300 thread count Egyptian cotton are a play of beautiful and elegant colors. It also has embellishe­d and embroidere­d collection­s of Cotton USA, which are exceptiona­lly chic that add more personalit­y to your room.

Pima cotton is Egyptian cotton seeds grown in US, Australia and Peru by the Pima tribe. Its extra-long staple cotton makes a fabric naturally "anti-pilling" because its ends are less exposed to abrasion which essentiall­y causes pilling and damage to the linen. It also absorbs dye better than any ordinary cotton fiber so a significan­t amount of difference is noticeable when it comes to brilliance and integrity. Goods however may be labeled or marketed as Pima cotton but are blended with other cotton fiber. "Supima" (abbreviati­on for Superior Pima) is the licensed trademark for products that are made of 100% American Pima Cotton. Boutique Bed Linens' 500 thread count Supima cotton is ultimately soft and smooth to the touch that gives you your much needed respite after a long day's work. Classy colors of grey, ecru and white with elegant embroidery and incomparab­le luster are what make this collection outstandin­gly supreme.

Egyptian cotton comes from where its name suggests --Egypt. The place's humidity and temperatur­e makes it the perfect place to grow extra-long staple cotton fiber. It has high degree of softness, absorption and durability. It has also been long-famous for the luxury and softness that it exudes. Boutique Bed Linens' 300 thread count Egyptian cotton is essentiall­y smooth and silky, the perfect set of bedding that you would love to sleep on. With a complete assortment of colors, elegantly stitched and designed, it is the only bedding fit for royalty.

Last but not the least of Boutique Bed Linens' newly launched collection­s is the 200 thread count Cotton USA Embellishe­d and Embroidere­d sets. The Cotton USA label can only be found on quality clothing and home textile products that are manufactur­ed from cotton grown in USA.
