Hello and welcome to my Sunday morning routine! I absolutely love Sundays and
believe they are such a beautiful day to relax and refresh and reset for the
upcoming week and one of my favorite quotes is a Sunday well spent brings a
week of content so today I just wanted to show you what I do on Sundays and
hopefully inspire you to add some healthy habits to your deck
so usually we wake up around 7:00 a.m. on Sunday which is sleeping in for us
because on weekdays we wake up around 5:00 a.m.
so the first thing that I like to do is make my bed and then it give my face a
little splash to wake myself up a bit I don't even use soap in the morning all
the time unless I really need to just because I don't always feel like it's
necessary but I definitely need to rinse it off because I have some lotion from
the night and some castor oil on my eyelashes
so on Sundays we go to church around 8:15 a.m.
so I actually love the coffee at my church so I just make a tiny bit of
coffee for myself but Brandon likes to drink his coffee ahead of time so I just
made about one and a half cups today
so while I am enjoying my little cup of coffee I head to my desk area just to
kind of take a look at my schedule for the day and if there's anything I need
to complete usually I try not to work too much on Sundays because like I said
I just want to rejuvenate and relax and just kind of plan for my week instead of
work but sometimes there's just little things I need to wrap up
so I'll take a peek at my to-do list and add anything that I want to accomplish
while I'm doing that I like to take my vitamins before I forget and I always
like to start my day with my vitamin because I know that's such a simple step
I can do to support a healthier body and I'm so excited to be partnering with
care of for today's video I've been a fan of their vitamins for years now and
I just absolutely adored their packaging and the personalization of it all so if
you're not familiar with care of they help you find the perfect vitamins to
fit your lifestyle fitness goals and health needs and they ship personalized
little packets straight to your door every single month which is so
convenient especially if you live a busy lifestyle like I do and I just love that
they make quality a top priority because of course when you're putting something
in your body you definitely want to make sure it has the very best ingredients so
it's always intimidating to pick out vitamins at least for me but with care
of they make it super simple since they have a quiz on their site that you can
take and they recommend personalized vitamin packs that fit your needs so the
quiz asks you questions about your diet lifestyle and any needs that you have
and then they recommend supplements specifically for you and I love the
personalized packets with my name on them and they usually have a cute little
quote or a thoughtful question to get your mind racing and for me I really
wanted to focus on my hair skin and nail health and growth so they recommended
the Glo trio for me and they also recommended that evening primrose which
supports healthy skin so I'm really excited about that in the evening
primrose it's nickname is a flower power which I love another bonus is that their
packs are compostable and me from plant-based ingredients and you can find
more information at take care of calm P slash eco I love supporting brands
that are aware of their environmental impact and want to make a difference so
if you're interested in trying care of for yourself go to take care of calm and
use my code Allison 25 to get 25 percent off your first month or you can just
click the link in my description below now it's time to get started on
breakfast so one of my favorite things to make for breakfast are smoothies and
smoothie bulls especially in the summertime when it's warm outside so
today I decided to make a smoothie since it's kind of a quicker morning since we
have to be at church kind of early so smoothies are nice because I can kind of
take it along and eat it as I go
so I just gathered my ingredients and I'm also using my care of protein powder
for this movie as well the one I picked out is the vanilla plant-based protein
powder which I love I love the vanilla flavor and this really helps my
smoothies fill me up a bit more because usually
smoothies on their own don't fill me up much but having the protein powder it
makes it a lot more hearty so I just added my frozen fruit and chia seeds and
flax seed and I have some watermelon juice and then I just blend it all
together I also like to add some frozen rice to cauliflower for some extra
nutrients and you really don't taste about all which is great
now it's time to start getting ready so on Sundays
I don't usually doll up too much I just do some natural makeup and tame my hair
a little bit so it usually only takes me about 10 to 15 minutes to get ready
and before I put on my lipstick I like to brush my teeth and then I just
applied this natural pink shade from Mac now it's time to slip into something a
little fancier so I'm wearing this lovely floral dress
and as much as I'd love to hear these fuzzy slippers everywhere I go I figured
it'd be better to wear a different pair of shoes once we're all Betty we pop out
the door to head to church
you
as soon as we get home from church the first thing I do is change back into my
comfy clothes I truly am obsessed with this sweatshirt
and always loved to have my yoga pants on usually when we get back home from
church we are quite hungry so we start fixing up some lunch today we just had a
bunch of leftovers so we made a little salad and had some leftover quinoa Greek
salad and a bunch of other random stuff
after we eat lunch this is when I really start to plan and just get everything
all ready for the upcoming week so the first thing I like to do is go to my
Google Calendar and see what I already have scheduled and then I like to do
some time blocking for my Monday just to make sure that I'm setting myself up for
success and I'm able to have a productive week and really get one step
closer to my dreams so as you can see I'm just putting in really specific
things because Monday is going to be super busy so I like to just make sure
that I have time for everything especially working from home I need to
make sure that I keep myself accountable and I also like to plan our meals for
the week at this time because Monday is usually when I go grocery shopping so I
like to kind of brainstorm new ideas and look on Pinterest for some in spa and
then just write it down so that I can think of all the ingredients I also like
to think of three things that I want to accomplish this week so of course I hope
I will accomplish more than just three things but these are the big-ticket
items so three things that I just really want to accomplish that are bigger than
just going grocery shopping or painting my meals and now it's time to relax so
on Sundays I just love to sit down in this cozy
here and cuddle up with a nice book currently I'm leaving crushing it by
Gary B and it's definitely inspiring and that's what Sunday's all about is
getting inspired and refreshed so thank you guys so much for watching this
Sunday morning slash afternoon routine I so hope you all enjoyed it and I'll see
you soon
you
