My New Favorite Morning Routine Essentials

 

I don’t know about you but I used to always feel rushed in the morning from taking the dog out, make sure the coffee is brewing, (highly important) answering my early emails, showering, do my make up and get dressed. My  morning routine always starts off at warped speed before I even got out the front door. One morning as the familiar ping of my phone woke me up, I just laid there and thought wait a minute I need to rethink how I can start my day on a postive more thoughtfu note that would clear my head and actually feel great about facing my brand new day.I created a way  to make my morning rituals more meaningful, more calm, easy, quick and I end up smelling good!

Below are the three new things I have added to my morning routine. What are some of your morning routine essentials?

SIDE NOTE: I keep my new morning rituals on a post it on my mirror so I never forget! 

1.Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant

The first thing I do after my shower is put on my Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant. I don’t want to forget that because the stress and strain from the day can leave me smelling a bit funky by 4pm and I start smelling like my uncle Niko and that’s not good for anyone.  With Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant  48 hours of odor and wetness protection plus added skincare, I know it’s got me covered and a definite MORNING MUST! It allows me to take on the day while feeling secure, confident, sexy and  as I said before and keeps me smelling of lavendar!

2. Vitamin E

 

After I put on my Dove deodorant, I make sure to place a few droplets of Vitamin E underneath my eyes and on my T zone. I do this because I have Vitamin E’s health benefit works well for my skin type. Vitamin E acts a natural moisturizer along with helping reverse premature skin again, among other health benefits. Although I am only 27, it’s never too early to have a great beauty routine for your skin & body!

3. Take Time To Pause

I know this might sound silly as I just had hours of sleep but I make myself stop, reflect and give thanks to what this day will bring and what the days before have brought me. I think it’s super important to take the time to drink in the stillness of the morning before your day leaves you scattered.  Whether you do this through meditation, prayer or just silence, keeping calm in the morning even for 5 minutes or so can change the course of your day.   Dove deodorant makes you feel like you’re in your own little spa or running through a field of lavender! #donotjudgeme I like the way my deodorant smells!
