☀️ My “Me-Time” Morning Routine
Mornings in my house are loud, messy, and full of kid chaos—but before the day really starts, I carve out a sacred little window just for me. My “me-time” morning routine isn’t about perfection—it’s about small rituals that make me feel like the best version of myself.
☕ Three-Drink Energy Girl
I don’t know when it started, but I cannot live without having at least three drinks going at once. Call it indulgence, call it multitasking—either way, it’s my signature move.
My Energy: A creamy matcha latte with oat milk and four pumps of chai. It’s sweet, it’s earthy, and it tastes like luxury in a cup.
My Fun: An Olipop (peaches & cream is my forever favorite—it feels like dessert but it’s secretly good for my gut).
My Wellness: A smoothie packed with fruit and greens. Easy, quick, and it makes me feel like I’ve done something virtuous before 10 AM.
And yes—I’m chugging water, too. Hydration is my love language.
💆♀️ Skincare + Self-Care
While my tea steeps or my matcha froths, I throw on an eye mask and go through my skincare routine. There’s something about the coolness of the eye mask, the glow of serums, and the steam from my mug that makes me feel like I’m in my own tiny spa.
🥣 Light Bites
I’m never super hungry in the mornings, so I keep it simple: a protein bar if I’m rushing, or chia seed pudding if I remembered to prep it the night before. (Pro tip: chia pudding with strawberry-rhubarb fruit spread is basically like eating pie for breakfast without the guilt & you caan throw some chocolate in there queen.)
✨ Why It Works
This routine isn’t complicated, and it’s not Instagram-perfect—but it’s mine. By the time the kids are up and life is loud again, I’ve already:
Nourished myself,
Caffeinated (and then some),
Glowed myself up with skincare,
And had a few quiet breaths of me-time.
It’s like slipping into my day with a wink and a swipe of lip gloss.
Final Thought
Carrie Bradshaw had her cigarettes and Cosmopolitans. I have my three-drink minimum and my under-eye patches. Different era, same energy: rituals that feel indulgent and make the everyday just a little bit glamorous.
