My morning starts with brushing my teeth.
I am not a morning person, so luckily the brighter days help me wake up early.
We have started to wake up earlier these days.
With the days getting brighter, we decided to wake up earlier so we could go for morning walks together.
We feel more motivated to go for a longer walk in the mornings compared to the evenings.
I am still wearing a thick coat in the mornings because it is still chilly at this time.
Being outside first thing in the morning is incredibly invigorating.
We love being able to notice the small changes in nature each day too.
It's great how quiet it is during this time of the day.
Depending on the day, we walk between 4-8km in the morning.
It is definitely easier to go for these morning walks when the weather is pleasant.
After waking up the house, we feed Iroh.
He is a messy eater...
Shower time.
First I start with contact lenses.
Then moisturiser.
Once the moisturiser has been absorbed, I apply SPF 50 cream.
This is applied to the face, neck and hands.
I don't like wearing heavy makeup, so I apply concealer on select areas of my face.
I prefer to apply it using my fingers as I have more control and it is cleaner than using brushes.
I really like Kat Von D's tattoo eyeliner.
I follow this with a light application of black mascara.
I found this lovely lip colour in Muji in Japan.
It is nourishing with a light colour.
I can't find this product here in the UK so I am using it sparingly until I can visit Japan again.
I picked out my outfit the night before.
I select my perfume based on my day and what I will be doing.
I have short hair so I just need to use a small amount of hair wax.
It takes very little effort.
I don't tend to eat breakfast, so warm water is usually enough for me in the morning.
I used to wake up just in time to get ready and leave for work.
But now I have time to do things around the house including my YouTube activities.
I feel like I can get more done in the day, especially as it takes time to commute to and from the office.
I use both a handbag and a laptop bag when I commute to the office.
I prefer carrying a light bag, so I repack it each time to ensure I am only carrying what is necessary for the day.
Let me know if you would like me to do a "what is in my handbag" video.
I wear a lighter coat because it has gotten warmer since earlier in the morning.
I love walking, so comfortable shoes are almost always what I choose to wear.
Let's go!
