00:00Hey guys, it's me Lucy and today I'm going to talk to you about my morning routine.
00:04Good morning! Everyone's been asking me what do I do when I wake up, how do I get
00:10ready for work, what's the first thing I do when I get out of bed, so today I have
00:13answers for you. First thing I do, snooze and snooze and snooze again. My alarm goes
00:20off once, I set it back for five minutes, it goes off again, I set it back another
00:24five minutes, you get the drill, it goes on and on for about half an hour. Then I
00:29roll over and I open my window shades. I need natural light in the room to
00:33really wake me up. When I crawl out of bed the first thing I do is make the bed.
00:39I'm just one very small, very not strong girl, so making a king-size bed in the
00:44morning by myself can definitely be a struggle. I shake out the sheets, I'm like
00:48climbing all over the bed, fluffing the pillows out, jumping to reach the other
00:52side, it is rough. But coming home to a nice tidy made bed is a lot more pleasant
00:57than coming home to blankets and pillows strewn across the floor. I head out to
01:02the bathroom and the first thing I do there is splash my face with cold water.
01:06I can't see very well without my contacts, so I pop them in and now I brush my teeth.
01:12And I'm a very diligent toothbrusher, so I get pretty much every tooth, I even brush my
01:16tongue. Very important, do not miss your tongue. Something I do when I'm brushing my
01:20teeth is I blast my favorite tunes. Alexander Hamilton! Once my teeth are all brushed, it's time to go in
01:26the kitchen and make
01:27my breakfast. Sometimes I'll make a smoothie, I'll throw in some fruit, some
01:31greens, almond milk, some agave nectar. If I have a lot of extra time, I'll even
01:35make some sort of protein dish like an egg or avocado toast. You caught me! This is
01:41also the time of day when I sit here and scroll through Instagram. In the cases
01:45where I'm very prepared for the day ahead, which being honest is not often, but I
01:51roll out my yoga mat in the living room, turn on YouTube on the TV, and I just watch a
01:56yoga video and I do a quick morning routine in the sunshine. Next, time to do
02:01my makeup. I know the feeling of looking at your face in the mirror and just being
02:05like, ah! My morning makeup routine is not that robust. I usually just start with
02:11some blush and bronzer, keep it very natural, eyeliner, mascara, and then I
02:15always like a nice lip color, whether it's nude or something a little brighter. But
02:19just like that, my makeup's done. Three to five minutes. Done. Next, I get dressed. This is a
02:26not the easiest thing for me in the world. I don't have a crazy eye for what looks
02:30good, but I have allocated five to ten minutes every morning to allow myself to
02:35figure out what to wear. And if I'm really struggling, I always have some
02:38backup go-to outfits that I can throw on. Next, I have to say good morning to all of
02:43my friendly neighbors. Good morning, New York! Lucy is coming down. Totally kidding, I don't do that.
02:51But wouldn't that be funny? And right before I leave my apartment, there are a few things I
02:55need to make sure I have. My phone, keys, I throw my computer in my bags, pants, all
03:00the essentials. When we head out the door, we're ready to face the day ahead with a
03:05beautiful smile. Because I brushed my teeth for two minutes and did not skip my
03:11tongue.
