I am definitely not a morning person. I try not to get any work shifts that starts at 8:00 AM since that means I have to be awake by 6:45 AM to squeeze in my shower, dry my hair, put on my make up and drive to work. On days that I do wake up early, the mister and I would grab breakfast together at a nearby brunch restaurant (The Beacon Restaurant) get coffee and start our day.
As far as beauty routine, I have quite a few. To start my day, I wash my face with COAL FACE from LUSH. Pat it dry and apply 3 drops of Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate (yes, I also use it in the morning before I put on my moisturizer since it has been working wonders for my acne prone skin) and last I use Kiehl's Powerful Strength Line Reducing Concentrate as my moisturizer. Although both products are suggested to be used at night, I use them during the day as well. The bottles are quite expensive but you only need a few drops (three drops and it covers my face and my neck) really.
I usually start my day with coffee (who doesn't?!) I love my Keurig! Right now I've been hooked with The Coffee Bean's Costa Rica blend and I would mix that with my Almond Joy coffee creamer from International Delight and instead of using bottled water I use Victoria's Kitchen Almond Coconut Water (from Fresh Market) It really saves money since Starbucks usually costs between 5 dollars to 11 dollars and it's really good!
I would also get some soup from my favorite deli, Cow and Sow Deli. I love that I live just right on top of my favorite deli in Wichita! They always have the freshest cupcakes, breakfast bars, ice cream, yummy soups and sandwiches! My favorite is Chicken Tortilla soup and their Chicken and Rice soup as well as their Chicken Salad Sandwich (I know! I went crazy with the chicken LOL!) Amazing food and amazing owners!
For my bath routine. I use Karma Komba from Lush as my shampoo. If you have wild, frizzy and color treated hair like mine, you will definitely love this shampoo. First of all it is an all natural shampoo so it will not damage or fade your hair color. And second, it will smooth out the tangles from your hair making it really easy to comb after stepping out of the shower. Next, I condition my hair with Aussie 3-minute Miracle Smooth Deep Conditioning Treatment. I use this sparingly and not everyday. I condition my hair every other day instead of everyday to avoid drying my hair out and damaging it. And for my body wash I use Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub from Lush. I love the scent of this one. It's not a floral scent but more of a clean sheet/ fresh out of the laundry smell, if you know what I mean. I love how it smells very clean and a really good pick-me-upper for mornings.
Drying my hair is quite tricky. If I leave my hair too long to dry out, it will eventually turn up like a bird's nest and would really be hard to manage. I use Argan Oil as my leave-in conditioner before blow drying my hair and straightening it out. For just everyday/not going anywhere make-up I use Lush Color Essentials Dark Pink Color Supplement so I don't look sick and to give my skin "that" glow. It's like a foundation and has a light to medium coverage. And I would usually just dab on some lipgloss from Smashbox and call it a day.
