Molly Sims Reveals How to Get a Good Night's Sleep (or at Least Look Like You Did)
Sweet dreams, or the closest thing to them! Molly Sims sat down with ET to spill her best tips for looking bright-eyed and well-rested, whether you got a full night’s sleep or you’re running on empty.
While the model, 52, who shares sons, Brooks and Grey, and daughter, Scarlett, with husband, Scott Stuber, 57, says she’s lucky to catch a few ZZZs, you’d never guess it.
“On a good night I get maybe 6 or so hours of sleep, but usually it’s somewhere between not enough and barely made it.”
But to help the Lipstick on the Rim podcast host relax before attempting to hit the sheets, she relies on nighttime self-care must-haves.
“I usually start with my Saje Wellness essential oils to help center myself. The Stress Relief and Peppermint Halo are my go-tos. I also rotate between taking Moon Juice’s magnesium and Sakara Night Service to help me wind down.”
From there, the Kentucky native shifts into skincare mode, layering on results-driven staples from her YSE Beauty line.
“The Problem Solver is a gentle, yet effective correcting cream that helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and discoloration. … I always finish with our Xtremely Rich Moisturizer because protecting your skin barrier while you sleep is key,” she reveals.
And once her morning alarm goes off, the producer is up and at ’em.
“I just look at my kids’ calendar and that alone is a shot of adrenaline. Between school events, birthday parties, practices, and tournaments, their schedules are packed. One glance and I’m immediately reminded, ‘You’re not allowed to be tired’,” she explains.
Luckily, the actress also has a beauty trick that makes her look refreshed no matter what: The Wide Awake eye cream in Sheer Peach and Sheer Honey.
“It instantly brightens and depuffs, while quietly working in the background to improve your skin over time. … I’ll gladly take 10 hours of sleep in a tube. … It’s almost as exciting as that first cup of coffee, and I always have it in my purse for SOS moments when I need an espresso shot to the eye.”
The entrepreneur completes her glow-up routine with the Your Favorite Ex Pads, the Morning Cocktail Vitamin C Serum, and the Skin Glow, before springing into action with her fitness regimen.
“I try to move my body most days. I do 12-3-30, and lately I’m all about lifting weights and strength training. If I can sneak in a cold plunge and sauna, even better. Those mornings feel like a dream.”
And since naps are hard to come by, Sims leans on hydration to feel her best.
“Every morning, I make what I call Dria Water, a mixed drink of creatine, Vitamin C, colostrum, and electrolytes. I adopted it from my friend Dria Murphy, and it keeps me going all day.”

NYT Connections hints today: Clues, answers for February 8, 2026

Connections is the one of the most popular New York Times word games that’s captured the public’s attention.

If you just want to be told today’s puzzle, you can jump to the end of this article for today’s Connections solution. But if you’d rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.
What is Connections?
The NYT‘s latest daily word game has become a social media hit.

Connections can be played on both web browsers and mobile devices and require players to group four words that share something in common.

Each puzzle features 16 words and each grouping of words is split into four categories. These sets could comprise of anything from book titles, software, country names, etc. Even though multiple words will seem like they fit together, there’s only one correct answer.
If a player gets all four words in a set correct, those words are removed from the board. Guess wrong and it counts as a mistake—players get up to four mistakes until the game ends.

Players can also rearrange and shuffle the board to make spotting connections easier. Additionally, each group is color-coded with yellow being the easiest, followed by green, blue, and purple. Like Wordle, you can share the results with your friends on social media.

NYT Strands hints, answers for February 8, 2026
Today’s NYT Strands hints are easy if you love an alcoholic beverage.
Strands, the New York Times‘ elevated word-search game, requires the player to perform a twist on the classic word search. Words can be made from linked letters — up, down, left, right, or diagonal, but words can also change direction, resulting in quirky shapes and patterns. Every single letter in the grid will be part of an answer. There’s always a theme linking every solution, along with the “spangram,” a special, word or phrase that sums up that day’s theme, and spans the entire grid horizontally or vertically.
By providing an opaque hint and not providing the word list, Strands creates a brain-teasing game that takes a little longer to play than its other games, like Wordle and Connections.
If you’re feeling stuck or just don’t have 10 or more minutes to figure out today’s puzzle, we’ve got all the NYT Strands hints for today’s puzzle you need to progress at your preferred pace.

If you just want to be told today’s word, you can jump to the bottom of this article for today’s Wordle solution revealed. But if you’d rather solve it yourself, keep reading for some clues, tips, and strategies to assist you.
Where did Wordle come from?
Originally created by engineer Josh Wardle as a gift for his partner, Wordle rapidly spread to become an international phenomenon, with thousands of people around the globe playing every day. Alternate Wordle versions created by fans also sprang up, including battle royale Squabble, music identification game Heardle, and variations like Dordle and Quordle that make you guess multiple words at once.
Wordle eventually became so popular that it was purchased by the New York Times, and TikTok creators even livestream themselves playing.
What’s the best Wordle starting word?
The best Wordle starting word is the one that speaks to you. But if you prefer to be strategic in your approach, we have a few ideas to help you pick a word that might help you find the solution faster. One tip is to select a word that includes at least two different vowels, plus some common consonants like S, T, R, or N.
What happened to the Wordle archive?
The entire archive of past Wordle puzzles was originally available for anyone to enjoy whenever they felt like it, but it was later taken down, with the website’s creator stating it was done at the request of the New York Times. However, the New York Times then rolled out its own Wordle Archive, available only to NYT Games subscribers.
Is Wordle getting harder?
It might feel like Wordle is getting harder, but it actually isn’t any more difficult than when it first began. You can turn on Wordle‘s Hard Mode if you’re after more of a challenge, though.
