If you know me, you know how obsessed with YouTube I am (p.s. help a sister out and subscribe to my channel because I have barely any subscribers!). And one of my favorite types of videos to watch on YT would be people’s morning and evening routines. Is that creepy? Probably, but I find it so interesting to see how people start their days and how they unwind at night. So, while I’m not going to be sharing a video with you of my morning routine because, to be honest, it would be very poor quality, I am going to share a post with you today on my morning routine. If this is of no interest to you, I’ll understand, but for those out there who, like me, enjoy peeking into others’ lives, keep on reading, and gooooood morning!
7:00am: My alarm is set for this time, but I typically hit snooze once or twice, because, girl needs her sleep!
7:30am: I’ll reach for my phone and check my emails and answer any urgent ones, check Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat (username: jlb4567), and my daily blog roll. I know reaching for the phone is NOT a good thing to do first thing when you get up, but I can’t help it. It wakes me up and gets me amped for the day!
8:00am: Lately, I’ve been heading into my home office/loft area, and I’ll do some yoga. I’ve recently discovered Fightmaster Yoga (on YouTube, obv), and I’ve really enjoyed her videos!
8:45am: I’ll meditate for about 10 minutes (I recently completed that free trial of ‘Take 10’ with Headspace, but I’m cheap and don’t want to pay for a subscription now, so I’ve just been doing my own meditation ‘routine’). I’ll then write in my journal, something I’ve started doing the past few weeks. I’ll write about what I’m grateful for (in general, or from the day before, or in terms of the day ahead) and what brings me joy (again, in general, or something from the day before).
9:00am: I’ll hop in the shower, do a quick rinse, my a.m. skincare routine, and get ready for the day. I typically do very little makeup during the day time and it takes me not even 5 minutes (concealer, bronzer, blush, mascara, brow gel)!
9:20am: I’ll get dressed, pack a gym bag (if I’m going to the gym immediately following work), and head downstairs.
9:30am: I’ll eat something (or if I’m rushing I’ll pack something to eat in the car/in the office), pack my bag up, check emails again.
9:45am: I leave my place and head to the office.
10:00am: Arrive at office!
So, there you have it…my weekday morning routine! Of course, sometimes things are not exactly as you see above, but this is a ‘typical’ day. Some mornings I go to a yoga class or I have an appointment early in the morning, in which case, things are a bit different. Hope you enjoyed it! I’ve linked all my morning skincare and makeup products below if you care to peruse. Catch ya on the flip side!
