My morning routine [pt.1]

I always find it interesting to see what other people do in the morning to get ready for the day ahead, so I thought why not show you what I get up to every morning!
I've split into two parts because some people will be more interested in the skincare/shower products section, and others will be more interested in the makeup/hair section :)

The first thing I always do it to make my bed, I just prefer to come into a neat and tidy room after my shower.

I light my candles, some people think I'm strange for lighting candles in the daytime, but I love the smell of them and I just think it's a little luxury that makes early mornings that bit more special <3

I head off into my bathroom. These are the products that I use every day.
The Clearasil things are new; my skin has been playing up and I decided some action had to be taken to get it back to normal. So far - they've worked great! My skin is almost back to normal, then I can go back to my Liz Earle which is just far far gentler.
The Fadeout cream is for my scars, you have to be really careful with it though as it can sting.
I always use exfoliating gloves as I find that shower-gels lather up better and you don't end up losing half of it down the drain!
The body lotion is one of my favourites and always has been. I always have a bottle of this no matter what high end ones I have around, it's like the perfect mix between white chocolate and vanilla and so moisturising without being greasy.

Once I'm back in my room I use my everyday essentials. I alternate my deodorant, but I almost always wear Chanel Coco Mademoiselle.

I then choose an LP to listen to while I do my hair and makeup. This album is absolutely amazing, if you like old soul go and have a listen!

I really enjoy my morning routine, I find it energising and it gets me ready for the day ahead. Even if I have a bad day I know I have an hour and a half of little luxuries in the morning <3

    1. I'm glad to find other people like me! Some of my friends think I'm incredibly weird haha.
      It certainly is a pretty perfume, but I can't help but spritz it, it smells so good! x

    1. Well I'm lucky enough to not have too many very early mornings, so I don't mind when they come around. But I can imagine that when I do have a lot I'll probably be the worst morning person in the world! I love my sleep too much! :) x
