thank you
how are you
I feel like sometimes that's the hardest question life can get complicated so quickly and I
feel like we have to make the time to stop and check in with ourselves
it's been a crazy couple feel like I'm just now getting back to my daily rhythm yesterday
was the first normal day that I had in a long time so I thought I would take my camera along
and share it with you simple yet meaningful day in my life
[Music] since I've moved into this house I haven't done much to our bedroom as you can
see it's pretty bare and I'm planning on keeping it that way less things and visual clutter
means less distractions it's been so nice to have a room in the house where I can decompress
and get away from everything [Music] by the way it's my first time having blackout curtains
and it's been a game changer for my sleep quality I don't know why I never invested
in them until now I go to bed at really odd hours but with these I can still get uninterrupted
sleep which then has a ripple effect on everything I do
I told you guys in my latest video on how much of a distraction my phone has been and
I'm making so much effort not to let it interfere with my day especially in the morning I would
wake up feeling a little bit anxious to see what was reading for me on my phone and I
don't know why I was doing that to myself I didn't realize that I was jumping into the
day before I could physically and mentally prepare for it all the urgency culture tells
us that the more we have to do the more we need to get the day started quickly but honestly
the world can wait emails the texts the social media the news nothing is more of a priority
than ourselves so I try to start the day with things that nourish me instead sometimes a
15-minute Sunrise flow and other times just stretching out and waking up my body it's
just a more Mindful and gentle way to ease into the day [Music] then our morning walk
of course every morning we pass by these horses on the way to the park and they're very curious
about my dogs they usually come right up to the fence to say hi to Lily and Kona and it's
just the cutest thing
[Music] this is probably my favorite part of the day and it's been a constant in my
routine for seven years now no matter how busy life gets the dogs give me an excuse
to escape it for a while and just enjoy the outdoors
there are so many beautiful places on Oahu but this is my favorite right here under these
trees [Music]
[Music]
I used to drink coffee the moment I woke up but I'm trying to delay the caffeine until
later in the day after I've had my ag1 thank you to ag1 for sponsoring this portion of
the video ag1 has become a staple in my morning routine I've been consistently drinking this
for a couple of months now and I've definitely noticed the difference in my energy level
and in my skin Clarity too it tastes almost like pineapple or vanilla but either way it's
very tasty and it just makes me feel good that I can start my day with a foundational
nutritional drink that's packed with multivitamins minerals probiotics adaptogens and more it's
really simple just one scoop and add water I really appreciate that they offer travel
packs too because we need to support our overall immune Health when we travel if you want to

my community free one year supply of ag1 vitamin D3 plus K2 and 5ag1 travel packs with your
first purchase thank you to ag1 for sponsoring today's video [Music] how long does it take
for you guys to get ready in the morning I've been working on simplifying this down to 15
to 20 minutes depending on if I need to shower and most days I'm just home so I don't need
to go overboard but I also realized that I don't want to be in my lounge clothes all
day either
also I'm enjoying the 33 piece capsule wardrobe and really glad to know that you guys are
too I do wish that I had chosen more short linen dresses because it's been really hot
here and I realized that I rarely Reach For Those denim shorts and long pants but anyways
I'm gonna stick it out for the three months and I'll just have to adjust it later but
I do love how effortless it is to get dressed in the morning
[Music] my work days look different almost every day some days I'm writing other days
I'm editing or filming today it was a ketchup day usually I'll write five most important
things that I need to get done that day and make that my whole Focus this paired with
time blocking has really helped me to stay consistent in my work and fight off most of
the distractions [Music]
and honestly I've had to come to peace with the fact that I won't get everything done
I could be at my computer all day and still have stuff to do still learning how to gently
decline request for more time and just weed out all the other distractions [Music] it's
been three years of working from home and there are things I love about it and some
things that I don't like as much undoubtedly one of the biggest perks is being able to
cook my lunch at home nothing fancy but even if it's quick I can prepare something hot
and fresh such a luxury I have a handful of recipes and rotation and all meal prep twice
or three times a week I had some macadamia nuts so I decided to make some pesto Hawaii
style [Music] just some basil olive oil cheese garlic and nuts in the blender and usually
takes less than 10 minutes [Music] some other things that I love to make for lunch is omelettes
sandwiches fried rice wraps salads it just makes a huge difference and simplifies my
days to plan the meals the week ahead
[Music] also what are you currently reading a couple of months back I watched this movie
called light between oceans and I fell in love with the scenery the story takes place
on a remote rugged island off the coast of Australia and the cinematography is perfection
and the other day I saw the book at the library and decided this was going to be my summer
novel nothing I love more than a lazy summer day getting lost in a good fictional book
while having the fan blow in my face
later on I met up with my husband at the Farmers Market there are so many good ones all across
the island we love going to this one because of the vendors I picked up my mangoes and
a couple of other fruits to last me for the next week we also spent a little bit too much
trying out some of the good food and drinks but it was worth it for the conversation and
the fun atmosphere [Music] most days are some variation of this routine I know it's not
the most exciting but I've learned to love these simple days in my life I try to find
small Joys along the way and make Every Day Count I hope you guys enjoyed this little
window into my life thank you guys so much for watching and see you next week bye foreign
