Raise your hand if you love waking up at the crack of dawn to primp yourself for the day to come? No one? Yeah that's what I thought, and I agree. The only time I really enjoy taking my time to get ready is after I've had a full nights sleep, and I'm getting ready for a special outing. With that being said, now that I'm in what we deem the "big kid world" I unfortunately have to wake up every morning to get ready to go to the office. Which by the end of the week can be very tiring! However, I think after all this time of either waking up too early or too late, I've finally mastered the most time efficient morning routine...
5:30 AM - Alarm goes off...UGH. Snooze. zZzZZz
5:40 AM - Read a BBC article on my phone and check my e-mails. - I do this to help my eyes start to wake up and adjust to some light. Plus then I get to know what is happening on the other side of the world bright and early!
5:45 AM - Take a shower.
6:00 AM - Pick out my outfit, pack my lunch, pack my bags, puppy proof the apartment. - Yes I have to puppy proof my apartment because even though Wrigley is 2 he still loves to chew books, TV remotes, or anything he can get his teeth on to punish me for leaving for the day. I also pack my bags before I get ready so that way if I think of anything else I need to pack I still have time to throw it in my bags. AND once I'm all dressed later on I can just grab them and GO!
6:15 AM - Do my hair. - Sometimes I do it natural with just a blow dry and some hairspray, sometimes I straighten it, sometimes I curl it, sometimes I'm really lazy, and I throw it in a bun.
6:40 AM - Brush my teeth, do my makeup.
6:50 AM - Get dressed, Instagram outfit photo if it's a decent one. - Yeah I'm a nerd, and I'll lay out my outfit so I can take a cute little photo of it if I'm feeling like I made one of those "great" choices for the day. I work with all guys, so I need someone to appreciate my outfit choices! PS - thanks to all my followers who always double tap those photos :)
6:55 AM - Take Wrigley out. - I seriously can't WAIT to have a backyard so the little guy can go out and do his thing while I'm doing mine.
7:00 AM - Out the door and to Starbucks I go! - I don't go to Starbucks every day, so when I don't, I make coffee with my Keurig and put it in to my cute little to-go thermos.
7:15 AM - Off to the office.
8:00 AM - Time to work, work, work!
What are you morning routines? Any ideas for me to save me even more time?! Suggestions appreciated!
