Lockdown Morning Routine


8am: Wake up. Michael hands me my cup of tea, says good morning, I grunt back and slowly open my puffy eyes (send help) to scroll through TimeHop, Instagram, Twitter and Messenger.


8.20am: Go to the bathroom to do bathroom stuff including my skincare routine. Lockdown skincare consists of: sometimes cleansing with my Soap & Glory Face, Soap & Clarity cleanser, patting in some Liz Earle eye cream, a few drops of The Ordinary Niacinamide and then a generous amount of Liz Earle moisturiser. Final step is Revitalash.


8:30am: Change into my wfh uniform which is always gym clothes. Lil bit of yoga. Currently doing Yoga with Kassandra's 10 min morning yoga. Actually really helps with feeling a bit more productive in the mornings.


8:45am: 5 min make-up routine so I can look presentable for my work video call at 9am. Sometimes I'll use a pump of Glossier Future Dew, but only when I'm feeling fancy. I dab a bit of concealer under my eyes, the Elf 16 Hour Camo is my go-to at the moment. Blend that in with either a small buffing brush or my finger. Brush my brows through, apply a bit of Soap & Glory Archery Powder, I like this at the moment because it is SO quick and easy, it's definitely not precise but does the job. Brush the brows again, then go through them with my ABH Clear Brow Gel. Then sometimes I'll sweep some bronzer on, but usually I'll skip that step and go straight in with some blush. Lotsa mascara, then a bright lippie.

9:00am: Run to the living room to make it just in time for my 9am call. If I have two mins spare, I'll make a coffee. Appearing on the VC with a lil bit of makeup and a coffee instantly makes you look like you have your life together when in reality I'm out of breath from my 2 step run from kitchen to sofa.

I honestly do not know how I'm going to adjust back to normal life lol
