Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, my wonderful people. Welcome to the Cheeky's and
Speaker 1: Chill Podcast. I'm your host Cheeky's, and today's episode is
Speaker 1: going to be a Cheeky's After Dark kind of episode,
Speaker 1: but not in a sexual way. Instead, we're going to
Speaker 1: be talking about what to do to wind down for
Speaker 1: the day and how I prepare for the next. For me,
Speaker 1: I find that having a routine really sets me up
Speaker 1: for success, and so I try to do these things
Speaker 1: every night. Okay, enough talking, this is Cheeky's and Chill. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I think having a nighttime routine is just as
Speaker 1: important as having a daytime routine. You guys, Like I
Speaker 1: always say, routine and diligence is one of the easiest
Speaker 1: ways to stay on track and to reach your goals.
Speaker 1: It's all about discipline. So I mean, I know it's
Speaker 1: easy to get caught up in all the craziness of
Speaker 1: life and just live day by day. But I'm here
Speaker 1: to tell you guys, that is not the answer. So
Speaker 1: here's what I do to start winding down my day.
Speaker 1: I set my phone to the side, I put it
Speaker 1: on silent. I've learned to put it on silent, you guys,
Speaker 1: because before. I used to like put it on loud
Speaker 1: just in case my siblings needed something, and I started
Speaker 1: like my life. Coach was like, it's a disservice that
Speaker 1: you're doing to yourself because you don't let your mind
Speaker 1: quiet down. Like I'm sure if something happens, God forbid,
Speaker 1: they'll call Johnny, or they'll call the media, or they'll
Speaker 1: they'll figure out a way to get a hold of you.
Speaker 1: But he did teach me that putting my phone on
Speaker 1: silent is important. I've been doing that. There are days
Speaker 1: when I don't, but I do my best to just
Speaker 1: put my phone on silence, set it on the side.
Speaker 1: I have a side table. I used to sleep with
Speaker 1: my phone, you guys, right under my pillow, right next
Speaker 1: to like my body, and it's just so not okay
Speaker 1: with all the radiation. Like I don't know, you guys
Speaker 1: look that up, but it's just not good. Okay, that's
Speaker 1: a whole other thing. But I do like to put
Speaker 1: it on like my nightstand and leave it there and
Speaker 1: try not to touch it. Then I go to my
Speaker 1: restroom and I you my skincare routine. I wash my face,
Speaker 1: I put on all my grandmas my net cream. I
Speaker 1: always like do my best to put my neck cream
Speaker 1: on because a lot of girls, a lot of people
Speaker 1: like we just ignore the neck area in the declataire area,
Speaker 1: which is like by the boobs in the chest area.
Speaker 1: And it's like for me, especially at night, because I
Speaker 1: feel like that's when my skincare works the best, is
Speaker 1: when I am resting and it's taking all the nutrients
Speaker 1: of like my skincare. Sometimes I even feel it's even
Speaker 1: more important than like the morning. Obviously it's important to
Speaker 1: put like your SPF on for like the day, but
Speaker 1: at night, I just feel like your body is like
Speaker 1: resting and breathing and your skin, and that's when I
Speaker 1: like do my best to put on like on my lotions.
Speaker 1: Like I have booby lotion, like a special booby lotion
Speaker 1: that I like to put for scars, for like stretch marks,
Speaker 1: to just keep them nice and firm. So I try
Speaker 1: to do that all the time. My night time routine
Speaker 1: takes a while. Sometimes it frustrates the media because he's like, oh,
Speaker 1: are you gonna do everything tonight? I'm like, yes, I
Speaker 1: have to because it's part of like what makes me happy.
Speaker 1: So anyways, I do my skincare routine. I of course
Speaker 1: brush my teeth sometimes. I mean, I think we all
Speaker 1: do it. When I don't brush my teeth because I'm
Speaker 1: like lazy or whatever, I feel like I'm more tired
Speaker 1: the next day. Like I don't know if it's just
Speaker 1: in my mind, but I feel like when I brush
Speaker 1: my teeth that night, I have more energy the next day.
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's weird, and I just I've learned
Speaker 1: to really take care of my teeth and go to
Speaker 1: the dentists and brush them as much as I can
Speaker 1: because I feel like a lot of you know, in fermilades,
Speaker 1: like sickness comes from the mouth and not taking care
Speaker 1: of our teeth and going to the dentists and flossing
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. So I like to floss, especially
Speaker 1: like my bottom teeth super important. So it's like that's
Speaker 1: part of my routine as well. It's just probably my
Speaker 1: crazy thinking. But brush your teeth, you guys, don't be
Speaker 1: dirty birty anyways. And then oh, I drink water. That's
Speaker 1: another thing. Oh, I'm telling you, morning and night water.
Speaker 1: I like to just end my nights and start my
Speaker 1: mornings with just water. I feel like it's like a plant,
Speaker 1: you know, like you're watering the plant. I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm watering and giving my organs like something good. And
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like a soda or a juice
Speaker 1: or milk. It's like something good. So like I love
Speaker 1: drinking water at night as well, and I take my vitamins.
Speaker 1: That's when I take my vitamins at night, Like my
Speaker 1: multi vitamin, I take that, and I take my BE
Speaker 1: twelve pill. They're chewable. It doesn't matter how drunk I am,
Speaker 1: how tired I am, I will do my best to
Speaker 1: not forget to take my vitamins. Like I'm so big
Speaker 1: on that. So in the morning, I take another set
Speaker 1: of vitamins, but at night it's my multi vitamin, my
Speaker 1: Ernka pills they're chewable, and my BE twelve all chewable
Speaker 1: and it's kind of like a candy. I do that
Speaker 1: obviously before brushing my teeth, but whatever, and then I
Speaker 1: just drink water and I pray. That's when I like
Speaker 1: to get on my knees right before going to sleep,
Speaker 1: and I just thank God for the day. And if
Speaker 1: I have to say sorry about something because maybe like
Speaker 1: someone cut me off and I was like, f you,
Speaker 1: and they took me out of my character. Then I'm like, God,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I like sept f you to that guy
Speaker 1: and for cutting me off, like help me tomorrow to
Speaker 1: be a better person, and just you know, like that's
Speaker 1: when I'm like, oh, probably should say sorry tomorrow to
Speaker 1: that person if I've said something mean, because you know
Speaker 1: I'm not perfect and you know I try. So that's
Speaker 1: why I take my time to kind of like just
Speaker 1: say thank you for my day, and I get on
Speaker 1: my knees and it's pretty short. It's not as long
Speaker 1: as like my morning prayer routine, but at night, I
Speaker 1: think it's important to just close the day off. And
Speaker 1: just the way I see it is, I don't know
Speaker 1: if I'll wake up. You never know if I mean
Speaker 1: sounds crazy, but like if you die in your sleep,
Speaker 1: like you just don't know. And for me, it's like
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I ask God for forgiveness
Speaker 1: and I say thank you because I want to go
Speaker 1: to heaven. So that's how I see it. I'm like, God,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, you know, forgive me for my sins, help
Speaker 1: me become a better person tomorrow and thank you for everything,
Speaker 1: and hopefully I wake up tomorrow. And when I wake
Speaker 1: up in the morning, I'm like, ah, thank you God,
Speaker 1: you gave me another day, you know. But I just
Speaker 1: think about it that way. I'm like, imagine if I
Speaker 1: forget to say sorry and to forgive me for my
Speaker 1: sins and I die, and then I get caught in
Speaker 1: like in the middle, and I don't go to heaven.
Speaker 1: Oh no. So that's why I feel like that's a
Speaker 1: huge part of my nighttime routine, you guys. To unwind anyways,
Speaker 1: I pray, then I get in bed and I watch
Speaker 1: a little bit of TV, and then I do blive
Speaker 1: back screen meditation you guys on YouTube. There are times
Speaker 1: when I'm like, Okay, I'm just gonna turn off the
Speaker 1: TV and just sit. And it's been helping me so much.
Speaker 1: I go on YouTube and I search black screen because
Speaker 1: you don't want all these lights and things like hitting you.
Speaker 1: Like It's that's why they say it's best to sleep
Speaker 1: in darkness, like complete darkness, because it really does help
Speaker 1: your mind shut down and your eyes and it helps
Speaker 1: you have a more RESTful sleep. And I've noticed that
Speaker 1: when I do that, when I put the black screen meditation,
Speaker 1: and there's one that says whole body healing, I put
Speaker 1: like that one, and I just play it out through
Speaker 1: the night and I just sleep so good, and I
Speaker 1: wake up even better since I put on my phone too,
Speaker 1: like just sleeping noises or something like that just to
Speaker 1: kind of help you. Just you just get more of
Speaker 1: like a RESTful sleep, and I feel like I don't
Speaker 1: wake up as often during the night, like in the
Speaker 1: middle of the night when I do that. One thing
Speaker 1: that is very important to me personally is we have
Speaker 1: Cheeky's and we have Jenae. Cheeky's the artist. Cheek is
Speaker 1: the one the glitz and the glam and you know,
Speaker 1: the work and the interviews and the emails and the
Speaker 1: siblings kind of in a way, and I learned to
Speaker 1: just put her away, like literally like just say, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm stripping her off, especially when I've had like a
Speaker 1: video shoot, a photo shoot and it's like extensions and makeup,
Speaker 1: and it's like, literally just buy Cheeky's. You know, we're
Speaker 1: gonna put you away. I'll see you later, and I
Speaker 1: just step into Jenney, which is everything we just talked
Speaker 1: about my night routine and the importance of just literally
Speaker 1: whinding down and just disconnecting myself from Cheeky's and from
Speaker 1: the world and really having that time for myself, for
Speaker 1: my partner, to prepare myself for the next day, because
Speaker 1: I feel like janay me, I'm still the same person.
Speaker 1: It's the same person, but I just I had to
Speaker 1: do that for my piece of mind of separating both
Speaker 1: because I feel like for a long time, Cheekys was
Speaker 1: taking a toll on me emotionally, so I had to
Speaker 1: just learn to just separate the two. For me, It's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: in order to be the best Cheeky's, I have to
Speaker 1: be the best Jenae. So Jenna's a hippie. Jenna's you know,
Speaker 1: she meditates and I you know, that's that's Jenne. And
Speaker 1: I like to eat healthy and I like, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's like every day I try my best to
Speaker 1: be the best version of Jenee to help Cheeky's out.
Speaker 1: So anyways, that and I'm telling you it varies every
Speaker 1: day because sometimes I have late dinners or whatever, I
Speaker 1: have certain things that happen, So sometimes I turn her
Speaker 1: off at eight, sometimes at ten. It just all depends,
Speaker 1: but I turn that bitch off, like Cheeky's get your ass.
Speaker 1: We got to focus on Jenae. So and it's like
Speaker 1: literally since I got to talk to myself in the
Speaker 1: mirror and be like, okay, Cheeky's like stop stop put
Speaker 1: your phone down, stop looking at the emails, stop texting,
Speaker 1: stop being on Instagram. Yeah. I literally like have to
Speaker 1: talk to myself out loud and it helps. It works,
Speaker 1: So maybe you should talk to yourself and just say okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: Like being on TikTok all damn night, it keeps you up.
Speaker 1: It gives you anxiety, you guys, Like, it really does
Speaker 1: if that's the last thing that you're doing at night
Speaker 1: is you're on social media. I've learned from experience, it
Speaker 1: just it's just too much. That's why I'm like, I've
Speaker 1: learned to just tell my fingers, my thumbs because sometimes
Speaker 1: they just want to go straight to social media to
Speaker 1: be like no, stop, you got to stop yourself because
Speaker 1: it causes a lot of things, emotional things I feel.
Speaker 1: So that's just my two cents on that. And another
Speaker 1: thing I do before I go to sleep, and you know,
Speaker 1: while I'm doing my vitamins and all that stuff, I
Speaker 1: love to set my vitamins for the morning and my
Speaker 1: clothes like if I'm going to go to the gym,
Speaker 1: like especially in my gym clothes. It's like I already
Speaker 1: like to have it already ready so that I could
Speaker 1: just wash my face, brush my teeth, finish all that stuff.
Speaker 1: I put like my vitamins in my pocket and I
Speaker 1: usually take them and eat them because they're chewable on
Speaker 1: the way to the gym. But like everything's already there
Speaker 1: and set. Like I was that type of girl the
Speaker 1: night before school. I would even try on my clothes.
Speaker 1: You guys, I have it already already, like set on
Speaker 1: the floor with the shoes and the scrunche I was
Speaker 1: going to wear. And I've always been that type of girl,
Speaker 1: Like I like to plan. I'm very organized, so I
Speaker 1: do that with my gym clothes. Now. I don't know
Speaker 1: it just I feel like it just makes it easier
Speaker 1: and it holds you accountable. Even if you wake up
Speaker 1: and you're like I don't really want to work out,
Speaker 1: but then you see you're like, no, put on your
Speaker 1: workout clothes, girl, go to the gym. It just keeps
Speaker 1: me accountable. And I'll be honest, it has been a
Speaker 1: little harder, and I hope that it doesn't offend Emilio,
Speaker 1: but like living with someone like it does make it
Speaker 1: harder for you to like stay on top of your shit,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like, sometimes it's like I
Speaker 1: get it. Sometimes I just want to go in bed
Speaker 1: and not do my whole like nighttime routine or my
Speaker 1: you know, because it's like you want to spend time
Speaker 1: with that person, you know. But I've learned that. I'm like,
Speaker 1: if I don't do it, I start getting frustrated with
Speaker 1: myself and in my relationship. And I'm like, no, like,
Speaker 1: I know how important it is to just do this.
Speaker 1: So even though sometimes I feel a little anxio, I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: you have to do it's best for yourself, like I have.
Speaker 1: I give myself therapy because it has been and especially
Speaker 1: in the beginning, it was kind of like I don't
Speaker 1: want him to feel like I'm ignoring him or this
Speaker 1: is more important or whatever. But I've learned that if
Speaker 1: I don't do this for myself, it will cause issues
Speaker 1: not only in my relationship and my life. I won't
Speaker 1: be as disciplined, I won't be as motivated, you know.
Speaker 1: So it's like it's important and it could sound silly
Speaker 1: like oh, like, oh, it's just taking your vitamins and
Speaker 1: brushing your teeth and all that, but know that stuff
Speaker 1: makes me happy, like it really does. Like I want
Speaker 1: to age gracefully, which means I need to like do
Speaker 1: my skincare routine at night, Like I need to brush
Speaker 1: my teeth because I want to be healthy. I need
Speaker 1: to take my vitage because I want to be all
Speaker 1: that is a part of making and keeping me happy.
Speaker 1: And if I'm happy, then I can work happy, then
Speaker 1: I can love happy, then I can live happy, you know.
Speaker 1: So it was a little bit of work, and it
Speaker 1: still is sometimes some days to find that balance when
Speaker 1: you're sharing space with someone else. But I'm pretty tea
Speaker 1: and I usually do what I want and it's worked
Speaker 1: out for me. So anyone that's in your life is
Speaker 1: gonna have to understand that, or they're gonna have to
Speaker 1: get on the same you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: you gotta get yourself a routine too, So we're on
Speaker 1: the same page, you know, all right, you guys. So
Speaker 1: that is my spiel. I hope you enjoyed it. I
Speaker 1: love you, guys. Thank you for listening to Cheeky's and Chill.
