This video is all about my morning routine,
and it's in sponsorship with Hanes
and their campaign No Bad Angles.
I decided to take part in this campaign
because I believe in their mission
of comfort, and self love.
And to me that's what being shameless is all about.
What's up beautiful people?
It's your homegirl Ms. Shameless, all up in your buildin'.
And this video is all about my morning routines.
I think morning routines are essential
to having a great day.
Usually if I have a bad day it's because
I did not do one of these steps in my morning routine.
But I think it's really important
on how your day gets started.
I'm big on waking up early, doing my morning rituals.
Because it sets the tone for my rest of the day.
If I don't do it first thing in the morning
I have a really hard time getting back on track.
Yes, it's all about having good, positive intentions,
good vibes, I wanted to share that with you
because I can't see what you guys do in the morning,
I need to know in the comments below.
Let me know what are your tips and tricks.
So, let's get into my tips on how I get
my morning routine started.
(relaxed music)
So the first thing I do when I wake up,
is say something positive out loud.
That could be, thank you, I choose happiness,
I choose love.
And then I get out of my bed and get my phone.
Because I do not go to bed with my phone in my bed.
I put it if I'm good, on my dresser,
but if I'm bad, I'm in bed and I throw my phone
and I have pillows to catch it,
that's on the the other side of the room.
But I do not go to bed with my phone.
I just think having your phone and scrolling
first thing in the morning is the worst thing
to start your day.
Then I like to either one, listen to my meditation app.
It gets me centered and grounded for the rest of the day.
Sometimes my mind can go racing in the morning.
And or, number two, reading devotionals.
There are four day, seven day, 30 day devotionals.
It's basically my Bible app
that gives me a passage every day that helps me
work on a particular challenge that I'm facing.
That's the only time I'm using my phone.
It's getting words of positive affirmations
to get my mind right for the day.
I'll read my Bible and I'll sometimes read a positive book.
(relaxing music)
I also journal.
Journaling for me has been, like key.
Being aware of how I feel, being aware of what I want.
I can see the mistakes I've done there,
and I'm like oh, yes,
I wrote that I know what happened there.
And it's like, past Maya giving present Maya advice.
And of course I brush my teeth,
I take a shower and if you wanna find out
all about my updated curly hair routine,
you can watch that over here in the upper right hand corner.
Also, before hopping in the shower
and even brushing my teeth, I do get a glass of water.
I'm so thirsty after sleeping, you know five to eight hours.
And then getting changed into something comfortable.
When I feel comfortable,
in pieces like this bra and underwear, I feel confident.
And you know I love me some bright colors,
and these pieces by Hanes make my day.
Like this foam wireless bra, O-M-G.
It feels like clouds holding your bosom.
The underwear are super cute,
they have all these fun styles.
And I definitely am queen of comfy.
This is what I change into to get my day started
because the first thing I do is take Jackie
for a walk, and workout.
So, Hanes has perfect clothing for that,
as well as there's no big, loud, logos.
My fave.
Do what you need to do that gets you in a good mood.
That could be something as simple as dancing,
singing, heck even watering my plants makes me so happy.
I don't necessarily do all of these
first thing in the morning, sometimes I do though.
Sometimes I really do.
But some days I will alternate.
But first thing in the morning is self growth,
self care, self love, all of that.
Now this is what I do 90% of the time.
When I'm on my A game, this is what I'm doing.
But, there are times where I don't do this.
There are times where I sleep in.
There are times where I grab my phone and what do I do?
I scroll.
And those are the times that my day is off.
So, in the ideal world
this is what I'm doing 90% of the time.
But there is that 10% of the time,
where I'm just like I don't wanna do the work.
Because guess what?
Being positive is work.
And sometimes I'm just like, I don't wanna do this,
I wanna be on autopilot.
But I pay for it.
So that's what I do.
I would love to know what you boo's do.
Let me know in the comments below, and I have a question.
Are you a PJ girl?
To bed.
Undies girl to bed?
Or are you a no clothes, no PJs, no undies to bed?
Let me know, I'll put a poll here,
or you can let me know in the comments below.
But that's it from me, I hope you enjoy this video.
Shoutouts to Hanes for keeping your girl comfy,
in her No Bad Angles, embracing all of it.
All of it, all of it.
Here for it, thank you.
Make sure you turn your notifications on,
and until next time remember to do you,
be you, and stay true boo.
Be shameless.
