Sleeping at My Best

I have a thing with nightwear. If some people like to invest on the tech-ie stuff I choose to invest on my nightwear. That is why I love it when close friends or family gives one to me as a present. I actually don't know when it started, but when I already had the means to buy for myself, which was when I started working, I usually buy myself a pair or a new one, once a month.

I think some people like to sleep better in their oldest, worn out, and biggest shirt. No problem with that, as long as everyone gets to have a good night's sleep right? But I remember one interview of Kris Aquino that somehow made me feel good about making sure that I still look my best even if I am just going to sleep. She mentioned in that interview that her mom, former President Corazon Aquino, gave her this advice that sleeping is not an exception to be presentable. An instance is, what if, knock on wood, an emergency like fire happens at the middle of the night, would you want yourself be seen by the people in your old, worn out, and huge clothes? Of course, I am no celebrity, but still, it made sense.

Why do I invest on my nightwear? Of course, at the end of a very tiring day, I would still want to look at my best and feel good. Sometimes, when you see yourself looking good even after a very stressful day, it somewhat lifts your spirit and sets the mood for a good night's sleep. I dress for my hubby. Of course! Need I elaborate more? As they say, we should strive not to look "losyang" and make ourselves still very much attractive and appealing to our spouses! It adds spice to our marriage!

So what makes up my sleepwear wardrobe? I have good pairs of PJs (now that I experience Winter as well, additional set of sleepwear were added, the thicker ones of course)and more pieces of nightgowns. Of course the designs vary, depending on the mood :) Of course, the sexier and more expensive ones are reserved for special ocassions! Hahaha

I love to sleep, who doesn't? But I just want to make sure that when I sleep, I still sleep at my best.
