Your bedroom should be a calm, relaxing sanctuary to escape from the stress in your life. Changing up your lighting, the material of your fabrics, or sprucing up your decor can create the spa-like atmosphere you've been dreaming of. Follow these tips to bring more peace and tranquility into your bedroom.

• Use soothing, soft colors like light blue or mint green and pair them with white or ivory accents to achieve a fresh feel.
• De-clutter your bedroom to give yourself a clean, simple space.
• Add dimmable lights or multiple sources of light so you can soften the lighting to give your room a more mellow feel.
• Make your bed the focal point in your room. This will allow you to really enjoy going to bed and will make it easier to feel relaxed.
• Treat yourself to luxurious sheets and bedding. Use quality fabrics with a thread count of at least 300.
• Use sheer curtains for your windows to allow light to come through for a bright and airy feel.
• Add a few candles or an oil diffuser with a lavender or chamomile scent that will help to relax yourself.
• Use relaxing music or nature sounds to create an ambiance.

Founded with principles of fun and community in mind, Austin Beerworks works overtime as a brewery and taproom. Between Thursdays and Sundays, this Austin craft brewery opens its warehouse taproom to the public. That's when beer aficionados from all over the city arrive to sample the brewery's beers at their peak of freshness: straight from the tank!

Austin Beerworks's core four beers—an American IPA, German-style schwarzbier and pils, and an ale—are offered at the taproom all year long, complemented by seasonal rotations and a selection of taproom-only brews. The taproom deal is $10 for a take-home pint glass and three pints. If you’re interested in trying more varieties, some locals say you can do six half-pours—you just have to ask.

On most evenings, you can find some of Austin’s best food trucks parked outside for a tasty pairing.
