My 7am morning routine <3

Here’s my perfect leisurely morning routine for a relaxing start to everyday :)

Wake up - Drink water, take vitamins & make bed. Usually takes 5-10 minutes.

Brush teeth - I made a previous post about my dental routine if you’d like to see the steps I take here. Usually takes 5-7 minutes.

Take dog for a walk - This usually takes me 20-30 minutes bc I like to go for a longish walk first thing in the morning to get that early morning sun exposure :)

Clean up - Let’s face it we all have bad habits, one of mine is going to bed without cleaning up😅 but truth be told I do enjoy doing it more in the morning. Usually takes 15-20 minutes

Stretch/Workout - This for me is not about working out everyday to be a body builder or lose weight I just like to make sure I get a stretch in everyday for flexibility and I try to get in a good amount of workouts to keep my body tone but I definitely allow myself to skip if I’m not feeling it or sometimes i’ll do it later in the day instead. At least 10 minutes but up to 45.

Shower - I don’t wash my hair everyday but I do shower everyday bc I like to wash the sweat from sleeping and working out away plus it helps to open up my pores before skincare. Usually takes about 15 minutes

Skincare - I’ll make a separate post about this one if you want a step by step. Usually takes about 10 minutes.

Get dressed - This doesn’t really need to be its own step but I like to include applying lotion and perfume to this step. Takes about 10 minutes if I have an idea what I wanna wear.

Have breakfast - This is NOT the first time I eat in the morning I usually have a little snacky snack after waking up and a protein drink after waking up this is just the first full meal of the day. Usually takes about 30 minutes cause I like to spend extra time making it pretty.

Hair & makeup - I like to try new hairstyles most days but I only do my makeup for special occasions. Usually takes 15-20 minutes or 1 hour on makeup days

Gratitude journal/Plan day - I like to spend about 15 minutes on this to kinda wrap up my slow morning and ease me into work mode.

I like to wake up at 7am but it felt weird to constrain myself to the time considering some days I like to spend more or less time on each step depending on how I’m feeling, but I do still try to limit myself to around 2 -2.5 hours from start to finish.
