My Morning Routine

2015-08-29 16.08.08

6:15am- My alarm goes off and my day begins. I tend to roll over, stop my alarm and check my emails. I like to start my day with no notifications, I don’t answer emails yet, but I just clear out all of the junk emails and see what sales are going on that day.

 

6:25am- I roll out of bed and brush my teeth with Crest 3D White Brilliance Toothpaste System. I love a white smile and it provides a clean you can feel from the first use along with a brighter, whiter smile in just two easy steps: step 1 deep cleans and step 2 is a whitening finisher. It is so advanced they can’t be combined into a single tube. Crest 3D White Brilliance Toothpaste System gives you the power to keep a professional polish at home. Brushing with Crest 3D White Brilliance Toothpaste System twice daily keeps your smile up to 99% as white as a professional polish. A polished STYLE starts with a polished SMILE. Refine your beauty and fashion routine with Crest 3D White Brilliance Toothpaste System – then flaunt it! I wish I would have known about this system while I was pregnant, because I was scared to use other whitening systems, but this one seems safe since it is combined in the toothpaste. Show us how you #GetPolished

6:30am – I either straighten my hair or curl it with my NuMe Curling Wand. My hair is naturally curly, so if I wake up and it seems like the curls are going to be hard to tame, I go straight for my curling wand. However, I try to straighten my hair more times than most. I use to get ready in our room in front of a long mirror, but since Brooke was born, I wake up so early that Kevin is still sleeping so I now get ready in our bathroom like a normal person. And, I use to play music while I got ready but not anymore. Sad day.

 

6:40am – Make up time. I use a mixture of MAC and Clinique (you can find the exact products on my style page). I don’t wear  a ton of make up and some mornings now, I even have a shortened routine in case Brooke wakes up early or if I am running late.

6:55am – I pick out my outfit for the day and get dressed. This is normally a pretty quick process for me because I think about what I am going to wear the night before or sometimes I really just grab the first thing I see. 
 
ba
7:00am – My favorite part of the morning. I go into Brooke’s room and wake her up to eat. She is all smiles in the morning and is just so fun. After she eats, I change her diaper and get her dressed. This tends to involve me taking a few pictures of her because she is just so happy and cute. After this, I put my jewelry and perfume on and we are good to go.

 

7:30am – Brooke and I head out the door to work and daycare.

  • Six years of Howl-O-Ween at @greatwolflodge 🎃🐾

What started as a fun getaway has become one of our favorite family traditions, and we look forward to it every year! ❤️

The whole lodge transforms for Halloween, and there’s so much to do! 👻 From the Trick-or-Treat Trail and Monster Bash Dance Party to Howl-O-Ween crafts, yoga, Boo Bingo, and trivia, the festive fun doesn’t stop!

Of course, we always make time for the indoor water park (those slides are SO good!), plus the kids’ indoor favorites like the VR and Howlers Peak Ropes Course. 🌊 

And don’t forget the seasonal Howl-O-Ween bites and sips!🎃🍹

I can’t believe this was year SIX! 🧡
