MORNING ROUTINE TIPS:

Remember that it is not selfish to take time for yourself as a Mom. It might mean going to bed a little earlier and waking up a little earlier but, it is worth it. Taking care of yourself and getting ready for the day affects how you show up in the world and you deserve to fell you best!

WAKING UP TIPS

Invest in the Hatch Alarm Clock.
Read The 5 Second Rule by Mel Robbins.
Set your phone away from your bed. Keep it downstairs or in your bathroom.
I use Beachbody’s Lemon Energize to wake me up in the morning! Lemon Energize is an all-natural pre-workout that helps you blast through your toughest workouts with a surge of energy! I keep mine in the bathroom and it’s the first thing I do once my feet hit the floor, even before I get dressed. As soon as I have a sip of it, there is no way I am going back to bed as I feel ready to go!

WORKING OUT TIPS

My kids are with me from 5:00 A.M. - 8:00 A.M. during my workout, getting ready, and off to school time.
They keep themselves busy playing legos and playing with each other.
Remember, a workout that is DONE is better than perfect.

GETTING READY TIPS

After finishing your workout, either shower with a shower cap on or dry the sweat out of your hair and then style it.
- If you shower with a shower cap on in the morning, all you have to do after is use dry shampoo and style your hair.
- If you dry the sweat in your hair, use dry shampoo and/or hair dryer. Then style your hair after.
- I use the Drybar Detox Dry Shampoo (Original Scent).
- On hair washing days, take a shower and wash your hair at night so it doesn’t take time up in your morning routine.
Use any shortcuts you can to put your makeup on.
