Everything Inside of the October Brave Crate!!!

If I had to name one thing that is the hardest for me during deployment countdowns, it would easily be “sleep.” When you’re used to curling up each night with the person you love, transitioning to a season of solo bedtime can sometimes lead to less-than-helpful new habits- like 2 a.m. Netflix Binges. One thing that makes all the difference is creating an end-of-day routine that sets me up for a successful, simple night of rest.
What’s truly beautiful about this, is that often these new rhythms and routines crafted in the depths of a deployment can stick with us after homecoming. That’s why this month’s Brave Crate is singing an ode to Sweet Dreams with a focus on resting well so that we can chase after all of our deployment countdown goals. We hope that this month’s countdown box inspires you to sleep deeply, rest your mind and chase each and every dream you have as you count down to homecoming!

Reusable Makeup Remover by Afterspa
We get it… deployment countdowns are stressful, and sometimes we skip the basics- like removing our makeup before laying down for the night.
