(soft music)
(alarm ringing)
- Good morning.
I am so excited to have Elle here
waking up with me, Nicole on my Disney wake up this morning.
I am so excited to show you
a little bit of my morning routine.
Not every day, but on a good day.
The first thing that I try to do when I wake up
is my transcendental meditation.
I try to meditate for anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes,
20 minutes ideally.
If anybody knows anything about transcendental meditation,
it's not about quieting the mind
'cause my mind's always going.
It's just about kind of letting the mind do its thing.
Best way I know how to describe it
is letting all the sediments of your mind and your thoughts
just kind of sink down to the bottom of the ocean.
It just anchors me and it grounds me for the day.
And then I go over to my favorite app
which is called the Halo app
and it's my prayer and meditation app.
And I do my Be Still devotional.
Let's see what she has to say today.
- [Instructor] When God calls our hearts to join him
in making this world a better place
he uses all of it to form us into women of strength,
dignity, purpose, and healing.
He has placed limitless beauty within you.
- So that was an awesome devotional
reminding you of your purpose and your strength.
And I love what she said when she said,
you have limitless beauty within you.
So remember, you just have to have courage
and continue your path of purpose and strength.
I'm so excited because I have
my very own bedding and bath line and it is called Nalu.
Check it. Check it.
That's right. You're looking at it.
I'm sorry. What?
That's me pimping.
That's right. That's my bedsheets right here.
This is my J-Lo moment.
I'm not gonna lie.
Growing up my mom would buy me at Cole's,
everything from the J-Lo line.
And I thought I was the bomb.com.
And now I have my very own bedding.
I'm super excited.
Nalu in Hawaiian represents waves.
It's the competitive tranquil motion hitting the shore.
It's got a really calming and serene effect.
But the flip side to a wave
is the power and the force of nature.
So I'm both of those, baby.
It's all about the ying and the yang.
So let's make my bed
because that's the next thing I always do,
is I make my bed in the morning
and it just feels like I'm already organized.
It's a great way to start your day.
You guys, Nalu is looking pretty serene on the bed.
Let's get to the rest of the morning.
So now we are in my kitchen and the sun is shining.
The first thing that I put in my body
is this AG Green powder.
It's amazing. It actually tastes really good.
It has all the vitamins, all the minerals,
all the good stuff that you need for your day.
I use my (indistinct) water for everything,
to clean my fruits, my vegetables.
There's a beauty setting on here to wash my face.
So in my bathroom in the morning and at night
I always wash my face with my beauty water.
Can you tell? I don't know.
I fill this puppy up with water
and then one scoop of this just like that.
Super easy. It's no fuss.
It's nothing like crazy. It's delicious.
Hmm.
So after I have my greens, I drink this entire thing.
And then I have my tea, my morning tea.
This is my tea drawer.
I love teas. I collect teas.
They're just magical.
So it would make sense to collaborate with Vahdam
to have my own limited edition tea box.
That's right.
I'm so excited about this.
I put together my favorite teas all in one box
made with the best, finest ingredients from India.
And they get their ingredients straight from their farmers.
They're the most ethical and sustainable tea brand
that I know of.
Today, let's kick it off with some hibiscus rose.
Why?
Because I'm a Hawaiian girl
and my mother's name is Rose Mary.
So that reminds me of her.
Something that's really fun for me in the morning
is depending on how I am feeling, I always pick a mug.
There's wake, pray, slay,
Hello, gorgeous, that's our Disney wake up.
I'm really feeling like a big cup of get done.
That's what I'm feeling like today,
'cause why?
Because we are going to slay all day.
(rhythmic music)
I like to start out my day with a workout.
I gotta get a sweat on.
It not only is a workout for me physically
but mainly it's a workout for this mind.
And child, she needs a workout.
When I'm jogging, that's when I'm the most creative.
And you've caught me in a season
where I'm actually making my album.
This is my time to listen to my music
to make any notes that I have to the producers.
And I could easily send voice notes,
like Naughty Boys executive producing my album right now.
So I could be like, yo Sha for the song "Warrior"
I think it'll be more impactful
if it's super minimal in the beginning of the song.
Almost like when Kevin Costner
told David Foster to start out
"I will always love you" with no music, and acapella.
And then as the song grows and builds
that's when we should introduce the tribal drums
so it could just really stoke
and bring out the warrior in all of us,
'cause that's what we are here to do.
Alright, I love you.
Send.
We're making magic, baby.
Okay. My Disney workout is done.
Normally I would be sweating
but we are in a time crunch today because I'm always late.
So we are going to end it there.
And we are almost done.
I'm gonna take you to my last and final routine
for the morning.
(gentle music)
This is my favorite way to end my morning routine.
I want to invite you all to come into the hot box with me
to sweat it all out.
I love my sauna.
It's great for muscle recovery
and helps with inflammation in your joints
and it's really good for your skin and anti-aging.
So when you all leave today,
I'm gonna lock myself in here for 24 hours
and then I'm gonna come out
and look like Benjamin Buttons, okay.
No, but honestly I just love to come in here
and sweat it all out,
sweat all that tequila out from the night before.
My skin feels unbelievable after I get out of the sauna.
I like to absorb all of my sweat with my towels.
That's right. The Nalu bath collection.
Yo, I'm about to talk about this all day
'cause I've waited my whole life
to have a bedding and bath collection.
Ooh, it feels so good.
And then we've got this.
I love this.
It's also inspired by water, by nature
and by pop art and post pop art.
I have the greatest view overlooking all of Los Angeles
from downtown all the way to the ocean.
And I'm an ocean baby, so I just look out on that view
and I set my intentions for the day.
This is my time to get snatched,
not only my body but my mind snatched.
Health is wealth.
That's a little nugget for you. Okay.
All right you guys, that is my morning routine.
Thank you so much Elle, for waking up with me.
I'm gonna go take a cold shower now
to wake everything else up.
And I'll see you guys next time.
All right. Stay blessed.
