I am going to start this out by saying, I know that my morning routine might not sound like its the best for you. That is okay, this post is not to try to sway you over to doing everything how I do it and when I do it. But, rather it is just to give you a glimpse in what my mornings tend to look like. If I was writing this a couple of weeks ago I would have to title the post MY WAKE UP ROUTINE. This is because I would often not wake up until the afternoon and my life would be a chaotic mess until I bolted out the door for work.
Lately I have actually been waking up when you can still consider it morning! So, I have to state that I am so proud of myself for shifting myself into a morning person!
So I will typically wake up anytime from 8:00 am to 11:00. I do not normally work until 2:00 but there are days that I am needed early so obviously for those days I will set an alarm. But, on the days that I am not needed before 2:00 I will not set an alarm and I just let me body or my dog wake myself up!
When I am awake the first thing is to go to the bathroom of course! I want to seriously know that if you wake up and do not have to go to the bathroom right away. If that is the case, I envy you! Then, it is time to take care of Daisy. Her morning process consist of going out to the bathroom, getting her breakfast and fresh water, getting her vitamins and a treat. I like her morning schedule a lot better.
After the queen dog is taken care of, it is back me! I will bring myself back upstairs and make my bed. I am going to admit that there are days that this step get skipped because I am rushing. Oh well, I am only human! The next thing that I will do is my skin care and make up. This is a pretty basic process. I have to admit I need to start washing my face in the morning but that gets forgotten. So, I will put on my sunscreen if its going to be even a slightly sunny ( I have a major fear of aging). Then I put on my moisturizing primer, followed by my make up. Now my make up will depend on my mood. If I am in a hurry then it will be foundation, concealer, and mascara. If I am feeling in the mood for more it will be all that was previously listed and then doing my eyebrows, putting on eye shadow, and eyeliner.
When the face is all taken care of then it is time to figure out what to wear. I am not putting it on just yet because I tend to do that closer to when I have to work. Because I know that other women out there are like me and let them boobies hang and flow until you have to tuck them away! My go to outfit since I am a nanny and moving around a lot and want to be comfortable but cute is a cute top and then leggings. I will surprise the kids I nanny for by showing up in jeans or jean shorts when its warmer here and there.
Now that I have my outfit planned and pulled out time to head to the kitchen to take care of business! Step one is to make my coffee! I feel like I should do a coffee post on here sometime or I might make that one of my first easy YouTube videos when I get the confidence to start posting there! So I am going to leave my go to coffee a mystery for now, unless you follow my Instagram then you have seen me making it before. But, I will tell you this… it is 90% of the time an iced coffee! After the coffee is made time to get some sparkling water and take my vitamins. I have done a post before so you can look back for it, but I use the Care Of vitamin packs that are geared personally towards me. I am a major fan.Then recently I started taking a liquid collagen and biocell. I have been using Modere and really enjoy it but my advice on that one if you try it is do not get the Vanilla it is not to tasty. I will get my food together for work and then it is now time to get dressed.
If I have time before work I will post to my Instagram for some content and post to my stories as well. It doesn’t always happen but if I am really lucky with time I will be able to get my blog post for the day typed out and posted ( I am working on this one right now before heading out for work). Then its grabbing everything and heading out the door I go to work for the day!
I hope that you enjoyed seeing what a typical morning looks like for me and please feel free to leave comments on some of the routine that you can not live without in the mornings! Have an amazing Thursday and as always remember to stay positive!
