Hi, I’m Nicole, as well as I’m a workaholic.
I spend many of my days running my raw feline food shop in Oakland called RAWR as well as many of my nights developing product packaging, photographing shows, or photographing/writing here. I have a deep passion for whatever on my plate as well as hold a high basic for work that goes out into the world with my name on it. While reasonable perfection within my work is essential to me, running on 3-4 hours of sleep night after night is not sustainable.

So I’ve been making a great deal of adjustments.
It starts with my surroundings. I routine my phone to go on Do Not Disturb daily from 9pm-7am, as well as I typically stop working around 10pm, unless I have no other choice. After that, no screen time is enabled unless its media on the TV with the backlight lowered practically all the way. I changed the bulb out of my lamp to a blue one primarily since I believed it would look neat, however it [turned out to be] much much more helpful than a awesome look.
I like unwinding with media on Netflix, however I don’t like sitting in the dark while viewing television, unless I’m in a theater. The contrast between the brightness of the TV as well as the darkness of the space hurts my eyes. because changing the bulb to blue, I’ve discovered that being immersed in blue light completely relaxes me, which makes falling asleep occur 40% faster.
