Good mining and welcome to our 5:00 a.m. morning routine. Every weekday my husband
and I start our day at 5:00 a.m. which I know is so early but I thought it would
be fun to show you how we wake up early and get our day started on the right
foot if you're not a morning person but wanting to start waking up early I
suggest creating a routine so it will become a habit for you usually the lung
goes off at 5 a.m. and Brandon hops in the shower I usually lay in bed for
about 5 more minutes before I start breakfast and coffee
Coffee definitely helps waking up early be a whole lot cozier and we make pour
over coffee so I just heat up some water in a kettle and then add my coffee
grounds to our little filter and then I just pour it over once it starts boiling
another thing I love to do is light a candle in the morning it just makes me
feel super calm and makes the whole wakeup process much more enjoyable
now it's time to and get started on breakfast so usually we have oatmeal we
alternate from oatmeal and eggs every other day so today I made some banana
and peanut butter oatmeal and I need it for Brandon first while he was getting
ready for work I usually make breakfast because I love to cook and thankfully I
have the luxury of having a slower morning but he has to get ready for work
and head out the doorway earlier than I do so we cook our oatmeal in a big pot
at the beginning of the week and then I just have to heat it up on the day I
also love to add some honey to coffee and I also add a little bit
half-and-half of almond and coconut milk so as you can see I just add bananas
peanut butter peanuts chia seeds I just love to pack it in with all kinds
of good stuff
and now it's time to wash my face I usually have some pimple drying cream on
so I need to wash all that out and this really helps me wake up so I've been
using the ultimate skin spot from vanity planet and I've been loving it it comes
with three different attachment heads the daily cleansing brush the ex foliate
in brush and silicone brush and we have made of quick-drying non porous silicon
that resists bacteria buildup making it more hygienic than standard cleansing
brushes so I really like the silicone option so you don't have to worry about
changing brush heads every few months and this ultimate skin spa cleanses six
times better than manual washing especially this early in the morning
when my hands are all tired so it makes it a lot easier and it exfoliates and
removes bacteria to promote visibly clearer skin so if you're interested in
trying out the ultimate skin spot for yourself be sure to check out the
description box for my discount and I'll have a link for you there as well so as
Brandon is painting I head over to this cozy little chair and sleep on my coffee
and check my phone I like to wait at least 30 minutes before I check my phone
so it's really great to have making breakfast as the first thing I do and
then I just have my quiet time I do my devotions and read my Bible but no
matter what you do I just think it's so important to have that quiet time
whether you're meditating or praying or just thinking of what you're thankful
for that is just a beautiful way to start your day
now it's time to make our bed in tidy up our room a bit
it's time for Brandon to head to work so we say our little goodbyes and he is off
now I open the windows and let in the light when we filmed this it took a
little longer than it normally does for a regular routine usually it wouldn't be
that sunny yet now I just fix up my breakfast and heat it up oatmeal's
super-easy so I just kind of make it separately but the days I make eggs I
make them all at the same time I also cut up a peach because it's peach season
and it's so super yummy well you breakfast I like to write down
my goals and intentions for the day I am such a lover of to-do lists and I love
writing them down and it is so satisfying as I cross them off
throughout the day and it really just makes me feel so much more organized and
I know everything I need to accomplish at the beginning of my day
now it's time to get ready in a doll up a bit so I do work from home
both stays and they don't always wear makeup but on this particular day I was
filming and going out to lunch so I decided to put on some makeup in the
summer I like to be a little more natural and just find some bronzer and
concealer and keep things a little lighter so I did that and then I added
some curls to my hair
now that my faith in hair is complete it's time to pick out an outfit so I
just put on this sweet little polka dot dress from boohoo and I picked out a
couple earrings to pair with it and that's pretty much it
after I'm all ready I just had to my desk and check my emails and begin my
day thank you all for watching this 5 a.m. morning routine I so hope it was
helpful to you please let me know if you have any tips you would like to share
for waking up early and getting your day started on the right now
