However, I do like to leave myself plenty of time in the mornings - there is nothing worse than feeling rushed and stressed out before you have even walked out of the door. Leaving myself time gives me a chance to relax in the mornings, and feel truly prepared for a day at work! I start my day with a short, but super sweet shower - at the moment I have been loving Imperial Leather's sweet shower gel range: the marshmallow one is divine. If I'm not washing my hair, I'm definitely rocking the Frozen shower cap..No shame here!
I must admit, I'm far too lax with my skincare. I don't wash my face with products everyday, and I definitely should, but I find that on the whole my skin is pretty good and when I do put product on it it makes it worse. I tend to properly cleanse my face before bed to clean the icky stuff off my face. So a face wash in the shower is as good as it gets. In the Winter, I'll use moisturizer before I go but I don't tend to wear make up.
One of the things I am specific about is definitely brushing my teeth. It's something I make sure I do no matter what - it can be so easy to get comfy in bed and just not want to brush your teeth but it is so important. Last pay-day I treated myself to an electric toothbrush which was very adult of me if I may say so myself.
I would never brush my teeth before my morning breakfast and cuppa tea though! They are my STAPLES in my morning routine. Tea is comforting, and breakfast gives me the energy I need for a busy morning. This is easily my favourite part of my morning; the relaxing time before I get ready for my day. By the time I've finished - I'm ready to leave the house ready for a day at work!
What do you do in the mornings? Do you have a routine?

People usually freak out when I tell them this but I actually wash my hair every day. I've been doing it since I was about ten as it used to get so oily there's no way I could have left the house without washing it, and although I probably could get away with doing it every other day now it just wouldn't feel right to me! I keep meaning to pick up some dry shampoo and see if I can get away with it, but it's been a part of my routine for so long now I just can't imagine not washing it each morning.
ReplyDeleteMy fiance always teases me about how early I get up in the morning, but I also like to give myself plenty of time so I don't end up rushing around like a headless chicken or it just isn't a good start to the day :)

I used to do the same!! Mine was very oily too, but since making it my new years resolution last year my hair is a lot less oily and has grown so much. Dry shampoo is an absolute game-changer in the first few weeks. I'd really recommend CoLab - it's the best one I've tried so far and I've tried a few. I agree! I felt really rushed this morning and ended up leaving for work in a bit of panicked and grumpy mood so I'm team leaving lots of time too!! XXX
DeleteI only wash my hair twice a week, because I am lazy and can't bothered to wash it at times... oops! My hair takes so long to dry, so it's a lot of effort! I need to get a Frozen shower cap like yours! x

I am sooo jealous!! Your hair is so nice too, but as it is so long I can imagine it being a lot of effort to dry etc. You so do! I love mine xxx
DeleteYour bed looks so pretty! Having a duvet like that would mean I would never want to leave it, I would just go outside wrapped in it xD I love reading these kind of posts! I followed you on GFC :D xx
