Don’t neglect your morning routine; it may be more important than you think.
If your routine seems fine…routine, maybe it is time to put passion into the daily steps you take to feel and look your best. Here, four lifestyle bloggers offer tips for doing just that.
Get Fresh
Find what you need to walk out the door alert and assured. For some it is a jolt of caffeine, for others it smells good after a morning shower.
“What would I love more than knowing I smell good? Being told I smell good,” says Jenny Ingram, the family and lifestyle blogger behind Jenny on the Spot. “Starting a clean day is like starting with a new canvas.”
She recommends layering fragrances for your own signature fragrance, starting with your own fragrance bath soap.
Change It
Your routine should work for you, but that doesn’t suggest it cannot change from day to day, based on your mood or the aspect of your personality that feels most powerful that day.
“A woman’s beauty routine is as unique as she is,” says Angela Peters of the blog Hairspray and Highheels, who was recently challenged by Herbal Essences to try every fragrance in their body wash collection as part of their #ScentGoals campaign.
After testing Hello Hydration, Totally Twisted, Body Burst, and Happy Go Lather, Peters is still on the fence. “They are all currently living in my bathroom and I use a different fragrance depending on the day.”
Give Yourself Time
Can’t hold the snooze button? You may be doing yourself a disservice. Feeling rushed in the morning can set the tone for the entire day and reduce your overall productivity.
“I like to get up early and not rush myself so I can focus on everything I need to get done for the day,” says Oliva Rink of the blog Lovely Little Style. “I fire up a Spotify playlist, light my favorite candle, and take the time to do my makeup, do my hair, and read my email.”
Stay Energized
Fragrance can be strong and the right scent can recharge and uplift your mood.
“Wearing cold cleansers in rotation in my shower will get me through the dead of winter and keep me energized and smelling sensational,” says lifestyle and wellness blogger Christine Bibbo Herr of NYC Pretty.
If you are “not a morning person,” it may be time to change your routine. Take time to uncover the private habits that make you look good, feel great, and smell good.
