Christi Lukasiak: Why, hello all you lovely people. Welcome
back to my channel. My name is Christi Lukasiak. You may know me as Christi from Dance Moms
or Christi Lukasiak from Dance Moms or Chloe's mom. But today I'm going to be sharing my
morning routine with you or get ready with me in the morning or morning routine Spring
Edition however you want to say it.
Christi Lukasiak: Welcome to my morning vlog. Hello, there's
a cat. He's crazy in the morning. I don't normally let you see how scary myself is in
the morning. I'm so out of it, I just woke up. Time to get ready so come along, I'll
show you how exciting my day is. Where in God's name could my phone be? I have literally
no idea. Did Clara come in here in the middle of the night? Did I sleepwalk? Where is my
phone?
Christi Lukasiak: There's Maggie. Okay, I'm showered. So just
a side note, I'm dying because I have you in my bathroom and I have not cleaned my bathroom
in about... No, I've cleaned my bathroom, but it's full of clutter because I have bottles
and things everywhere. I'm a hoarder and you're about to find out. But I am planning on doing
a video where I declutter all of the junk in my bathroom, which I feel like would be
super therapeutic, but I don't have time for that today. I just have to get ready because
I have a very busy day. So we're going to go on to doing my hair and makeup, and choosing
my outfit for the day. So, let's go.
Christi Lukasiak: I just want to make another disclaimer. This
is disclaimer morning routine. I have had extensions for quite some time and I had them
taken out just because I'm not able to fly back and forth to LA right now, but I'm getting
new extensions in about two weeks here, but I also made my hair a little bit darker just
to let it have a moment to be a little healthier. So I feel really weird and like a Karen, so
I hate... I'm not used to this look, so I'm sorry if I'm offending anyone's eyes. I'm
offending my own, I promise. Really, truly.
Christi Lukasiak: Just a disclaimer. One thing about my extensions
being out is that since I only have four hairs on my entire head, it takes me 13 seconds
to blow dry it. So that's a bonus, but I just... I look like a Karen. Hello, I'd like to speak
to the manager.
Christi Lukasiak: I came out to my office to steam my dress
and I blew fuses, so I really hope this isn't foreshadowing of the day to come, truly. I'm
now going into the basement so we're just going to change location. Okay, sir, can you
stop? This is my favorite little steamer because it's portable. Look how little it is, it's
teensy. I love it because all my other big steamers are ginormous and hard to carry,
or hard to pack. But this is my favorite little one and it does a good job. So time to steam
my dress. Isn't my dress cute? It's very cute. I can't wait to wear that. Dress is steamed,
hair is dried, now I have to fix it. And it's time to do my makeup.
Christi Lukasiak: I'm going to have to just shut the camera
off and do this on my own because I don't have a tripod to do this in this bathroom
that'll fit, so use your imagination. When I'm getting ready I always listen to podcasts,
so... Oh, look there's me. Hello. There's my podcast. If you're not subscribed, you
should totally check it out. But we're going to listen to my girls, because these are two
of my faves. See, makeup is done, hair is slicked back. This is my professional I'm
hiding the fact that I don't have extensions look. Now I'm going to get dressed and go
down and start feeding the menagerie of animals that my daughter has now officially dropped
off at Christi's home for wayward animals. Here's my cute little outfit. Isn't that cute?
Look, got my little layered necklaces. I love this little dress. It's comfy and it's cute
and it hides all of my nonsense.
Christi Lukasiak: Over here, this rack, is for all my Amazon
lives. And then back here, that's my pet palace throne that they like to hang out on. But
we're talking more about my dress right now. Isn't it cute? I like to get up in the morning
and get dressed and be ready for the day because, one, it makes me feel better. And, two, if
I have to run out of the house, I'm dressed. And, three, I oftentimes am on calls and Zoom
and social media. I have pretty clothes, I like to wear them. And this is very comfortable,
so this is a good day. Noble, noble. You want to go eat breakfast?
Christi Lukasiak: This is how I spend half my morning, chasing
him down. Get out of the dog food. Come on. Who wants breakfast? So we start with kitty
canned food and then we go into kitty crunchies. Maggie, get out of there. Mark?
Mark: What?
Christi Lukasiak: Did you feed the pets?
Mark: Yeah.
Christi Lukasiak: Oh, you did? You were trying to eat twice,
you little pig. Just so we know, kitty crunchies is dry food, but I just like to call it kitty
crunchies because it's funny. Huh, Nobie? Now I just called Clara because somebody in
school had COVID so they're quarantining for a few days, and I just called her and I said,
"You have to come eat breakfast." She's like, "I did." So they're killing my morning routine.
Mark fed the pets, Clara already ate. I have to unload the dishwasher. Well, I guess every
morning I do do that. Here, pretend that I'm feeding Clara breakfast and packing her lunch,
but she doesn't have school today. This is killing me. What a boring morning routine.
Christi Lukasiak: We're going to make tea. Oh, wait. My favorite
mug is over in the dishwasher. I need to grab it. Barns, why do you look so upset? What's
the matter? Did that kitty eat your food? No. Found my favorite mug. Love my double
walled glass mugs. I just feel like it gives me a little bit of a good morning routine.
So I actually microwave my tea. I know, I know, I know. But at first I was super worried
that this mug was going to explode in the microwave. Thankfully it's microwave safe,
so yay.
Christi Lukasiak: This is actually my favorite part of my morning,
because I am going to make my coffee mate, which I love. I'm going to make it foamy,
like a hot foam for my tea, which makes my day so much better, I swear. So let me do
that. Yay. Do your work little one.
Christi Lukasiak: While that's all heating I'm emptying the
dishwasher because I can't stand when I come downstairs and my kitchen's messy in the morning
because it's just going to get messier throughout the day, so... Ooh, my tea's ready. Ooh, whoops.
I believe in making your mornings happy at home, so this little flower teaspoon makes
me happy. Here we go. The best part of my day. Ah, look at that. Yay. So freaking good.
Love it. Look at that cup of tea. Isn't it splendid? Magnificent? All of the words.
Christi Lukasiak: So I'm going to sit for a few minutes and
go through my phone and look at all my to-do things today. I just finished unloading the
dishwasher and there's one thing worth noting. I have secretly switched the order of the
spoons and the forks. To my two very rigid humans that live here, Mark and Clara, this
may send them over the edge, so we're just going to wait and see what the reaction is
later today, because that's kind of fun I like to have.
Christi Lukasiak: And I just realized that it's later in the
morning than I thought and I haven't been drinking my water yet. So I use this water
bottle that has the times on it. See the little times? It reminds you when to drink. And I'm
behind, so now I have to chug water. I will drink four of those throughout the day and
then pee a lot. Oh, here we go.
Christi Lukasiak: Oh, you know what else it's time for? It's
time for the giving of the cheese. It's cheese time. My pets love cheese. So, hold on. Barns,
come here. Come on. Mags? Oh, Noble knows. Noble knows. It's time for cheese. It's time...
Yes. Tell me that you would love a bite of cheese. Barns, do you want some? Come here.
Barns is here, Noble's here. Maggie, do you want cheese?
Christi Lukasiak: I distribute the piece of cheese based on
size. And guess who gets to eat first? Who gets their cheese first? Look, you can hear
him purring. He gets cheese first because he's naggy. Oh, yes, I love my cheese. All
right, here we go Barns. Yummy. It's cheese from Mommy. Come here, Mags. Do you want your
cheese? Here, Mags. Oh yes, it's a good... No. Hey, you get out of there. That's not
for you. You know there's a second piece coming, but it's not second cheese time. Settle down.
Settle down.
Christi Lukasiak: Now we're going to go sit and enjoy a few
minutes of my tea and my morning and I'm going to look through my to-do list today and figure
out everything that needs done in the time and I'll be working until probably 11 o'clock
tonight. Because I talk to sororities every night and we're in the midst of the busy season,
I work until super late at night. And I mean, it's rough, but I love talking to my girls
and I'm starting to schedule already for next fall. And it's just so busy, but I love it,
but I do want to take a few minutes to just zen and relax. And I'm going to read my daily
stoic. I'm going to write in my five minute journal and I'm just going to kind of... Oh.
No, no. I'm just going to have a moment's peace.
Christi Lukasiak: I have been back on eating better. And so
I'm making my wonderfully amazing... My favorite in the whole wide world shake for breakfast.
Usually when I wake up, I'm starving and I have to eat right away, but I make myself
wait a little bit because then the urge passes for me to just shove boxes of cereal in my
mouth. We're going to have my favorite smoothie or shake and I'll show you how to make it.
Then a scoop of vanilla protein powder. And this is my secret weapon. So I use crunchy
almond butter. It is my favorite because I love the little crunches that end up in my
smoothie, which are good, so I'm going to put a little extra in there. Plus it's a little
extra protein. And then just some water. We're good to go. It's my favorite smoothie. Oh,
well that's a little thin, but it'll do. Voila. Breakfast is served. It's so good. Mm, a little
crunch.
Christi Lukasiak: It is time to go to work. So we're going to
go upstairs and we... Oh, let me grab my charger. And we are going to get ready to tackle the
day because I'm actually really busy today. I'm recording two podcasts. One, I'm a guest
and one it's my own and I'm hosting. I will link my podcast below, so you should definitely
check it out. I interview some really fun people. And then I have sororities tonight
and I have a couple of emails that need answered and some sponsored... Well, I have sponsored
content to shoot, so... Oh wait, I blew out my fuse. Huh. Well, I'm going to head to the
basement and get that turned on before I sit and get my day started, but that's pretty
much it for my morning routine.
Christi Lukasiak: Oh look, there's my Amazon live pulls for
this week, so... That's it. Well, thank you so much for watching this video. If you liked
