My Morning Routine


Hello-hello! My name is Liz and I will soon be a double baby sister. Yes-yes, you heard me right, I will soon (as in, like, tomorrow) have a second little baby sister. I am very excited, to say the least.

How do you guys feel about nosing into other people's things? Because I love it. No joke, I love looking into other people's bags, agendas, drawers...the list goes on and on. Today, I will be sharing my morning routine with you for exactly that reason. Just like my after-school/afternoon routine I'll just be sharing with ya'll what I do from the moment I wake up to the moment I go out the door in the morning.

5:10-5:15 -> Wake up, stretch, and get out of bed. Yes, I do wake up at 5 AM every morning...and it is only because I live about 2 hours away from school. Sometimes I squeeze a little warm-up "workout" in at this point, but I usually snooze my alarm = no time for squats.

5:15-5:35 -> Shower. Now, when I shower I first get really really hot. I love hot showers. Especially on freezing cold fall/winter mornings. After I'm all nice and cozy in my shower I wash my hair and condition it. On Wednesdays, though, I use the Macadamian Oil Hair Repair mask and just don't use normal conditioner. I wash my hair every other day, and on the mornings that I don't wash my hair - I shave. And when I don't shave - I wash my hair. After all that jazz is done I scrub the heck off my skin with a loofa and some shower gel and I'M DONE.

5:35-6:00 -> Eat breakfast. I'm sure you all well know of my love for breakfasts. I LOVE THEM! Hands down my favorite meal of the day... Ahhhh I wish I could have breakfast for every meal! I start by making some coffee and while I'm waiting for it to brew - I make breakfast. If I have no time to eat I'll just grab a banana and a slice of whole wheat dried fruit & nut bread. If I'm on time I'll just get some Greek yogurt, home made granola, and some berries (usually blueberries and sometimes raspberries). If I have some extra time, though, I'll make myself some peanut butter oatmeal (ya'll want a recipe??? ;D) or a sunny-side-up egg. 

6:00-6:07 -> Get dressed. Getting dressed usually doesn't take that much time, only because I have a school uniform that I usually lay out the night before. But sometimes I'm in a bad mood ( = everything looks horrible on me) and I'll change my outfit five times before I change back to the first one again.

6:07-6:15 -> Makeup. I very rarely have time for makeup in the mornings, so I usually just do it in the car, but when I do have time I just stick with something simple and classy. Usually that means a champagne eyeshadow on the lid with a matte brown in the crease, some tinted moisturizer and concealer, and finally, some bright lipstick (usually berry red, fuchsia...or just lipbalm). Oh, and I always finish off with some Nars "Laguna"!!!

6:15-6:20 -> Out the door!! I hate this part of the morning. I pack my bag, remember things that I forgot to take/do, pour myself some coffee (I like mine 70% milk and 30% dark dark coffee), grab some fruit & nut bread, through on my coat and head out the door! 

And that's basically it ;) Hope ya'll enjoyed, and stay posted for an update on ma laiffffff :D

xoxo,
Liz
