My Honest Morning Routine

-

 


This one took me a while to write. Especially because I wasn't sure If I even had a “Routine” but when I did sit and think it over,

I just have a pattern of things I tend to usually do in the mornings, some good, some not so much, hence the “Honest” Part. Here we Go~


  • DON’T SNOOZE- This is Something that comes rather easily to me, because I’m more of a morning person and I know I’ll run late if I even wake up 5min later. So yes, on MOST Days, I wake up on the first ring of my alarm.




  • MAKE MY BED- This may be basic but it just tells my mind to not fall back to sleep and open the Curtains.
  • GET READY 1.0- This is like the first version of getting ready where I wash my face and brush and change into the same clothes to go to my driving class. My morning routine changes according to my schedule but for the past month, It’s been driving class.
  • GET ME THAT CAFFEINE: Okay, i know it’s not completely healthy to have coffee on empty stomach so I’ve been trying to cut back *mini efforts* and this is one time where I don’t let anything get to me, whether I’m late or the Text Messages. Just Sip Coffee before the Chaos that is my life. This is also the time I actively use to sort of fill in my planner because my schedule is always haywire and consists of miniscule and minute tasks which I tend to rather forget thanks to my peanut sized memory but yes, I do that and keep track of a few things.



  • GET READY 2.0: This is where post Shower I get ready for my day. This routine is essentially when I have to go out (Which is almost all four/five days). So depending on where I’m heading I dress- Work or College or to run some errands.

This also Includes getting ready- As in some Sun Screen, basic Liner and Lipstick, that’s all. All My daily Use Products are listed below, if you’re interested.


  • Facewash: Modicare Schloka Purifying Neem & Gotukola Face Wash

I actually like this facewash because it’s very light to the skin and honestly does a good job by just making me feel refreshed.

  • Eye Liner: I use the Faces Canada Magnet eyes Eyeliner daily and I LOVE that it has a rather brush, it really helps me make that perfect wing effortlessly. I like the gel consistency as well- not too thick and sticky but just fluid enough for easy usage

  • Lip Stick: This changes depending on the kind of day, or where I’m headed to, but mostly I go for Maybelline Nude Nuance shade- 657. It’s perfect for Office Wear because It’s Subtle and Natural. But If I feel a lil adventurous I mix this lipstick with Maybelline’s Intense Crayon in the shade Bold Burgundy

Other Lipstick in the same Category, Shade Wise, which I use regularly are

  1. Urban Decay- “Ravenswood Cream”~ This one is a perfect blend between a nude and pink. Long staying and Creamy and most importantly, does not Dry your lips




  1. Nykaa-”Bare Minimum '' 47M~ This one is almost similar to the Urban Decay one but a little more on the Pink side. Works well and Stays for  a reasonable amount of time. The mini one is so travel friendly as well.

  • GET MY SH*T TOGETHER- This means mentally and Physically as in get my Bag together. I always take a fruit on the go with me and pack my stuff for the day




  • HAPPY TUMMY: I really really am Working on this. For the longest time, I was averse to eating anything in the morning and just considered Coffee as breakfast but I’ve been trying to break it off by having something light for breakfast. It really helps me get some mental sanity, I’ve realized.
  • SET MY MOOD: By this, I mean the playlist I listen to on my commute. I opt for really bouncy and almost GYM music because it sets my mood and gives me that push to actually stay active throughout and not just survive the day.

A few Songs I’ve been Listening to on Loop:


  • You’re Somebody Else~ Flora Cash

  • Sugar & Brownies~ DHARIA

https://open.spotify.com/track/562oeuAN5GH85iE7FQVKSB?si=myscmZLyTJWyyFps8Q2_FA&utm_source=copy-link




Because of the constant change in my day plans, It’s rather difficult to form a consistent routine but there are a few things there and there I’m trying to work on, once I actually successfully implement them, I will maybe write about them, But until then, I’m going to keep it honest and Real.

Things Nooone Tells You About Grief

For a while now, I've been trying to look for comfort in words. When I experienced loss, the kind of loss that shook my body away (literally) mentally and physically, I took my time to heal and more usually than not, I gravitated towards reading. Reading about someone facing familiar emotions and feelings kept me sane. I hope that this post helps you find comfort if you've ever experienced loss or are still trying to mend your heart.   There's a scar on my left leg and it has been that way for a while, something which I had developed recently due to let's say, carelessness. Everyday I took my time examining it, I realized  it changed colors but never turned better. I eventually stopped caring. But my loved one(who I lost, recently) made it a point to ask me how bad the scar was, everyday. After a while, when I started caring again, I looked over the scar, it got better.  I think grief is a lot like that,  it changes colors, takes it's time to heal  but even...

A little bit of today |A little bit of tomorrow Epiphanies and Reflections I've been trying to write for a while now, but I just couldn't.  I recently read something on Tumblr that helped me kick start writing. I'll link it here- Read this here It's been one month today. One month that I've lost another significant part of my life in a span of one year. It's almost funny how time flies by. The other day, I told my mum "The best and worst thing about life is that, it moves on."  It feels like life is on autopilot, whether we choose it or not.   Do we really move on or do we distract ourselves to maintain our sanity? A few months back, when I was redoing my room, I bought the glow in the dark stickers for the ceiling. It just reminded me of my childhood days and I'd have my own sky to stare at, at night.  I don't remember the last time I looked up at my ceiling and admired them.  I either read like there's no tomorrow or I don't read at a...

  One thing I absolutely love and spend most of my free time doing is finding new things- Art, Books, Music, Shows, Movies, Poems and I can go on and on and on. Most things I find are usually through Pinterest, YouTube Comments, Following a few YouTube Channels, Reading an Author’s Favorite or about his inspiration (Always a great way to find great art) . Here are a few things I’ve discovered this month so far- Music: Let’s start with something easy. I don’t really have a specific genre of music that I like but I think it could be broadly classified as Retro Chill or Vintage Vibe. This month I’ve Come across something a little different.  Halsey’s - “I'm not a Woman, I’m a god Halsey’s- “Girl is a Gun Cage the Elephant’s -”Cigarette Daydream” Lord Huron’s - “Long Lost” Honestly, I love the Lyrics of Halsey’s new songs, Makes me feel confident and powerful but Cigarette Daydream and Long lost have been playing on loop. Lord Huron’s have a sense of Calm and a weird sense of f...
