6:00am: As soon as I wake up, the first step is hydration. I love Hydroflax, so I fill up my water bottle the night before and add lemon, ginger, cucumbers, mint or whatever I can find in the fridge. The best part is that it’s still ice cold in the morning!
6:00-6:15am: Next up is my skincare routine. I use organic and all-natural products down to my makeup, so my morning routine consists of Kopari deodorant, and Eminence face wash and lotion. As the last step, for the last 10 years I have been using Jane Iredale for all of my makeup–she is as clean as it gets.
6:15-6:30am: I love to wake up with natural light and be surrounded by nature because getting outside for a walk helps to ground me and start my day. Instead of thinking of the million things I have to do, I set 3-5 intentions. This sets me up for success and helps me to stay focused throughout the day because I come back to those intentions when I feel distracted.
6:30-7:30: For a workout, I will either run or lift weights. I like to alternate and change things up by listening to my body and what I am craving. Some days it's running, other days it's yoga or weight lifting. No matter what, I make sure to get in 20-30 minutes of exercise every day, even if it's walking while taking a business phone call. I try to work smart!
7:30-8:00am: I love nothing more than having something exciting to drink while starting my work day. I'm currently obsessed with a superfood Pumpkin Spice Latte using Moodygirl Chocolate. It brightens my whole day!
