I've documented a non-work morning here: when I'm at school it's all a bit manic and rushed after my alarm goes off at half 6. At the weekends, though, I wake up at a more leisurely hour and drag myself from my lovely, cosy bed...
I have piles of pillows, a big feather duvet, a great vintage quilt and the comfiest bed ever, so getting out of it is a real challenge some mornings!
Have a cup of tea and some toast while reading either a magazine, The Guardian, or a book, depending on the day. I prefer non-fiction in the morning, for some reason (I think it's because I know that, if I start reading a novel, the danger is that I'll get sucked in and never get anything else done!).
Just a taster of the many, many products I rely upon to leave the house in the morning. I can't remember the last time I went out without make-up: maybe some time in 1992? My routine goes like this: moisturiser and lip balm. Foundation, cream blush, powder. Eyebrow pencil, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara. Straighten hair (or scrape back into a topknot) and use serum to control the frizz. Spritz of perfume (L'Occitane Ambre is my favourite at the moment) and I'm finally good to go!
Sounds like a nice relaxed start to the day. Your bed looks so comfy! Totally agree about not reading novels in the morning - not a hope of getting anything else done!
ReplyDeleteThat bed really does look comfy! Xo
ReplyDeleteYou know if you skip all that make-up stuff you could totally have more time in bed in the morning!
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes I do! My reliance on make-up is a whole other post :(
DeleteI have that same bed!
ReplyDeleteMine doesn't look quite so beautifully styled though - it usually has things hanging from the bedposts and more often than not is covered with clutter throughout the day. :-) x
