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.

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.

  • The game day dip that NEVER makes it to halftime. 🏈👀

This easy layered chili dip is creamy, cheesy, loaded with flavor, and SO easy to throw together for a football watch party. It’s the kind of game day appetizer everyone keeps coming back to—and then someone inevitably asks you for the recipe. 😂

SAVE this for your next football party, game day gathering, tailgate, or Sunday football spread!

And SEND this to the person who needs to bring the dip. 👏
