do
good morning alex just brought me some coffee in bed this morning that doesn't happen every morning
so i think it's gonna be a good day blanca has crawled into our bed he doesn't sleep with us
but some mornings he makes his way he nudges the door open with his nose and he
crawls into bed with us and we're gonna let it slide especially with the lamb in our life
right now wonka needs extra love i am going to take you guys along with me on a morning here
at the homestead i'm currently waking up in our inflatable bed right now as you guys know we just
moved in so this room is nowhere near finished it has not been painted or anything like that so
that's that's a real moment here for you guys we're going into town today so i'm going to be
getting ready i'm going to be having breakfast i'm gonna be doing some chores around the house
we're taking a gardening workshop today which i'm very excited about also as many of you know we
recently adopted an orphaned lamb woolson so i'll show you guys what goes along with that in the
morning some of the chores that we do around here what we like to eat for breakfast i am happy to
say that today's video is sponsored by jenny kane their oak essentials skincare line with being out
in the sunshine here and the renovations my skin has needed some love and their oak essentials
line has been a lifesaver for me so i'll tell you guys more about it later but let's get into
the video i normally lay here for a bit longer who doesn't especially when it's cold in the morning
one thing that is crucial to help me get out of bed in the morning here base layers nice thermal
because it's definitely cold here in the morning and it's cold here in the evening so if i'm not
wearing something that keeps me warm i don't want to get out of bed so thermals base layers
they help peel me off the mattress in the morning shall we let's go come on let's go let's go
one of the first things i do or we all do is walk outside because
the outside of our house just feels like it's part of our home and there's no reason to
have your coffee inside when you can come out and enjoy the sounds and the smells
and there's just always so much going on outside of our house because there are
far more animals than there are people around here and they're always up to something so it's nice to
just walk around in the morning with our coffees and just see what all the animals are getting into
when it comes to my beauty and skincare routine my main focus living here on the homestead has been
to simplify it as much as possible but make sure that it's still effective and that is why i have
been loving oak essentials skincare so much it's clean it's effective it's natural it's made in
california which we all know that that's where i'm from and california will always have a
very special place in my heart this is the ritual oil which has been one of my favorite of the five
it's a five product skincare routine and i like to just warm it up in my hands like this
and pat it on to my skin like so another one of my favorite products from them is this restorative
mask it smells so delicious and amazing and it's so soothing you guys saw me use this in
my anti-anxiety routine that i recently posted so this is the mask that i was using in that
video so i've been using it for quite a while and i've been loving it oak's formulas are guided by
nature's power to sustain and replenish the products are non-gmo and organic whenever possible
oak essentials is beauty as nature intended these products have been crafted for women of any age
to serve as a foundation for glowing and healthy skin having this five step routine has made it
so that my skin care is just one less thing that i need to worry about which has been

now it's time to get into the kitchen human beings are creatures of habit and i
am no exception to this rule i go through phases of eating the
same thing for breakfast all the time and lately i've been all about a breakfast wrap i dice
some onions and potatoes then i scramble some eggs and i throw them all into a pan
once everything has finished cooking i place all of the ingredients into a wrap i
really love using spinach wraps i think that they are the best
i also add avocado a bit of plain yogurt and i like to squeeze a little bit of lemon in the mix i
tend to switch up the ingredients a lot sometimes i add sauteed kale or i'll even add some beans
just depending on what we have in the kitchen at the moment then i wrap it all up and enjoy
before heading out the door a feed for woolson
is crucial he is a growing boy so he eats small quantities every couple of hours or so
we were leaving for a couple hours today so i made sure to feed him right before we left
there is truly no other way i'd rather spend my morning than embracing nature
and caring for my little fur friends i hope that you all
enjoyed this video thanks for watching and i'm looking forward to seeing you in the next one
you
