- Hi guys, today's video is going to be
a morning routine video.
My evening routine went down really well,
so I thought I would show you my morning routine as well.
I will link my evening routine down below
if you didn't see it, because a lot of my evening routine
helps me be organized in the morning.
Like, I pack all the bags, snacks, lunches,
and all that kind of thing.
Shower, all of that the night before
so that I can be ready in the morning.
And I do that whether I'm working the next day or not.
I just find it a lot easier.
It's also worth telling you that this particular morning
that I filmed on was a weekend, this was not a working day.
My working day routine is this same routine
but just sped up and a little bit more stressful.
This video also shows you a little bit
of my skincare routine, and a little bit
of my makeup routine, but if you want either of those
in like their own video with like a bit more detail,
I'm happy to do that, just comment down below.
Yeah, I hope you like this video.
Give it a like if you did.
And thank you so much for watching.
And I'll see you all soon.
So, the first thing that I see every morning
is this cute face, Fraser's always the first one up.
So, we let him hang out in our bed
until our baby Caleb wakes up at about 7:00.
When he does we go in there and sometimes
the boys play in the crib like this
with their iPad, and just hang out,
and just generally be really cute together.
Until I get them out of the crib
and we make our way downstairs.
So, now I take the boys into the family room
where we just hang out for the first bit of the morning.
Just watching TV, normally Umizoomi,
'cause that is their absolute favorite show.
And I normally get a coffee, I just have a black coffee.
And it's normally really needed in the morning.
And yeah, we just hang out.
I normally let Fraser have the iPad for a bit
if he doesn't wanna watch Umizoomi,
he plays Angry Birds or something.
And then I go off and make breakfast.
I hand them their drink while they're
hanging out on the couch.
And then I'm making pancakes 'cause it's the weekend.
I just do a cup of flour, cinnamon, a pinch of salt,
and then a cup of milk, and an egg.
And you just whizz it all up in the bowl.
And then fry it like a pancake, obviously.
And I use coconut oil 'cause it's a little bit healthier
for the boys and it tastes like a little bit sweet as well.
Yeah, and this is one of their favorite breakfasts
so I do do this on the weekends a lot.
With maple syrup because I'm Canadian.
Just a tiny bit for them to make it a little bit sweeter.
I love this stuff and I'm being stupid here.
I just get the boys to the table then
so that they can eat their breakfast, and watch some TV.
No matter what we're having for breakfast
I always offer them fruit, normally whatever I have.
So, today it's raspberries, blueberries, and bananas.
So it's a selection, but sometimes if I only have raisins in
that's what they get offered.
I just think it's a really good habit to get into
to have fruit every morning.
Caleb needs to learn how to share with his brother,
but they do take some in so I feel that at least
they get one of their portions of fruit a day.
Once the boys are eating then we can eat.
I don't normally eat like this, but it is the weekend.
And then I also have my multivitamin
and my liquid iron supplement, which is called Spatone.
Makes me super strong.
I'm a little bit anemic, so I find that this really helps
with my energy levels etc.
Caleb's always interested in this,
but obviously I don't give it to him.
And the boys finish their breakfast,
look how much Fraser just loves maple syrup.
And if they finish before us I just let them play
and hang out at the table with us while we finish.
So, once we've all eaten, my husband then eats
and then I can go and get ready.
It's definitely a tag team effort.
So, once he's got the boys I go up and wash my face.
I use Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel.
I just really like this, it foams up really nicely
and it cleans my skin well.
And then I do a toner, which is again Dermalogica,
Antioxidant Hydromist, just a few sprits.
And then I moisturize with my
Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream.
And then I use the Age Reversal Eye Complex,
again Dermalogica.
And then I brush my teeth with an electric toothbrush,
if it's charged, and make the bed.
And then I can do my makeup.
So, I start with my Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation,
which I always use and love in Ivory Beige.
And then I just do it with my fingers
and then go in with my brush in places
that need a bit more coverage.
And I use my Clarins concealer under my eyes,
it's really lightening and I love it.
And then today I'm using my Bare Minerals
bronzer in warm, and then my Bobbi Brown Brick,
which Caleb has smashed to pieces
by chucking it across the room.
I just use this on my cheekbones.
And then I'm using my Highbrow eyebrow kit,
which is a stencil and a brush.
And I really like it, I find that it really
makes it a lot easier to shape my brows.
That's one that's done and one that's not.
And then I set my brow with my Benefit brow gel.
Just keeps it in place.
That's all I'm gonna wear today,
but it's a big improvement.
Then I sort my hair out with my Instyler,
which is like an electric curling iron.
And then, yeah, and then I'll just
show you what I'm wearing.
I'm wearing my Primark checked top,
my Joni jeans from Topshop, and my Russel and Bromley boots.
Basically everything that was in
my recent autumn clothing haul.
If you're interested, definitely go and watch that.
I'll link it down below.
Then I normally have a second coffee
depending on what kind of morning it is.
And then I can focus on getting the boys ready for the day.
All ready, and now we're ready to go out and have fun.
And do something together.
So yes, thank you so much for watching.
I hope you enjoyed this video.
And I will see you very soon.
Bye.
