Morning Routine

As a self confessed YouTube addict I love watching morning routines so I thought it would be fitting and interesting to try it out for myself but in blog post form. On the day I made this I was having a relaxing, stay at home kinda day which I really like and it was also a lot easier to make one.


So as soon I wake up I do the obvious thing and check social media as obviously I don't want to miss anything and I do follow a lot of Americans so they post during the night. I also can never be bothered to get out of bed so I play a couple of games on my phone (my favourite at the moment is Colour Switch). I will then also make my bed and put on my decorative pillows and my throw blanket and make my way downstairs.

I can't function without breakfast so I like to have my breakfast soon after I've woken up. My breakfast is usually with toast or cereal but today I had toast with butter.  I also will have a drink with my breakfast and usually it's either orange or apple juice (I hate tea or coffee so it has to be a cold drink) and on this day I had apple juice.

Just before I get ready for the day I like to kick start my productivity so I will write down my breakfast in my food diary (I can do a separate post on my food diary if you want) and any other tasks while I wait for the bathroom to be free. However sometimes I do procrastinate and end up slouching on my bed on my phone or reading a magazine. Whilst doing this I'm listening to an album on Spotify but I can't remember what one on this day.

I will then wash and get clean because no one wants to be unclean and unhygienic. I have my main shower in the evening so I have a quick wash and focus more on my outfit, makeup and hair.

This was my OOTD for the day that I made this. As I was having a relax day at home and weren't planning to go out I wore my really comfy black leggings from Primark (they're also only £3 which is amazing) and my really comfy hoodie from Primark. I did wear a basic top underneath as I did get a bit hot so I took my hoodie off.

After putting on my clothes for the day I will move onto makeup. As I said I was having a really relax and home-y day so I didn't want to wear a lot but I still wanted to wear some and test out the lip crayon as I hadn't worn it for a whole day before. I really liked this makeup look but next time I would go for a different lip product as this wasn't very good.

Makeup Worn-
-Miss Sporty Insta Glow Foundation in 003 Medium (£.3.49, Superdrug)
-MUA Eyeshadow Palette in Undressed (£4, Superdrug)
-Collection Lengthening Waterproof Mascara (£3.99, Superdrug)
-Collection Work The Colour Lip Butter in Popping Pink (£2.99, Superdrug)

I had already washed my hair about 2 days beforehand and was going to wash it that night so I used some dry shampoo and this one is by Girlz Only and it's for brown and dark hair like mine. I then used my Tangle Teezer to get out any knots and brush through the dry shampoo and then I used my normal hairbrush, which is from Primark, to properly brush through and kind of style it as I wasn't going to put any heat on it.

I will then make a to do list on a whiteboard so if anything changes I can change it on there. This day I wanted to take some blog posts for an upcoming post and also actually do some homework as I kept procrastinating on that and I knew I had to get it done.

After writing my to do list it's time to try and conquer them tasks for the day. While I'm doing them I like to have Capital on as I like the songs and I'm also really productive when I'm listening to it. My favourite time to listen to Capital is at 9am for the throwback as they have the best throwback songs (even though once they played a song from last year and that's not really a throwback compared to the other songs they played).

I usually will work on stuff until lunchtime and that's when my morning ends. I really enjoyed making this routine post and I have a lot of different ideas for them so keep an eye out for that. For more of my day follow me on Twitter (@_louisecarter_) and Instagram (@thelipstickinsider).
