Question, who exactly doesn’t love watching and reading morning routines? Honestly, I absolutely love it. Especially a good productive morning routine that motivates me to get off my butt and actually get work and tasks done that I need to get done for the day. It’s highly motivating and that’s why I’m writing this for you. This post is my winter morning routine which is all about the things I love to do on a cold morning, and I’m not much of a cold weather fan so. Anyways, if you guys would like some motivation or just to read my winter morning routine for January 2018, just keep reading!

The first thing I do when I first wake up is always just lie around in bed usually on my phone. The majority of the time I end up on YouTube after checking all of my social media to watch something motivational like these type of posts / videos or even cleaning videos to motivate me to get up and clean the house.
After I’ve finally gotten myself motivated enough to get up I’ll usually get up and brush my teeth and wash my face because it just makes me feel more awake and a lot more refreshed feeling I guess?
Once I finish doing that I’ll head into my kitchen and of course, make some coffee. Honestly, I don’t know where I would be without my caffeine like can you guys agree?
After I have my coffee made I’ll usually head to my desk and start working for the day. The first thing I like to do is just check my stats, comments, and track how many followers I’ve gained. Also during this time I’ll usually plan out my day in my planner and also add more detail to my to-do list in my bullet journal which I love writing in.
After I’ve worked for a while which includes promoting, writing, editing, scheduling, etc. I’ll usually get up and start cleaning up the house because it’s probably a mess just like everyone’s house I mean gets messy every now and then, am I right?
Cleaning up I’ll just put anything away that is misplaced back to where it goes, throw away any trash, unload and load the dishwasher, fold some clothes, clean the counters and dining room table and any other furniture, sweep, etc. You guys know the basics.
Then once I’m finished cleaning up I usually hop in the shower and get ready for the day because nothing wakes me up or makes me feel better than a good shower.
After I’m done getting ready and everything I’ll usually just head out and run some errands or whatever I have to do that day.

So that was all for this post you guys! Hope you enjoyed reading and check back soon for more wintery posts and routines. Thanks for reading!

The color of spring is in the flowers. The color of winter is in the imagination.

Pin it!

December Cleaning Routine 2017 + Get Ready With Me For The Holidays!

december-cleaning-routine-holidays-christmas

Honestly you guys, I love the holidays so much. From the different candles and scents that come out to food to family all of it I just absolutely love the holidays. The thing I notice though is my house can tend to get messy very easily on the holidays from all the buying, gift wrapping, shopping, etc. One thing I love to do is keep the house as clean as I possibly can though with this simple cleaning routine and so I can get my house ready for the holidays. So, if your wanting to know what my cleaning routine for the holidays is, or would like to get ready with me for the holidays, here is my December 2017 cleaning routine so you can get motivated to get up and get ready for the holidays too! Hope you guys enjoy reading.

Number one comes coffee always, so I always like to make some coffee before I get started cleaning. My caffeine is what gets me through all of it and plus it keeps me warm if it’s freezing inside the house and the heat hasn’t kicked in yet. Honestly, I have always done this and probably always will. Coffee = LIFE you guys and you know it.

The first thing I always love to start doing when cleaning is make the bed. Making the bed just makes everything seem so much neater and just cleaned up already. That’s the number one thing that I love to start off doing just to kind of tidy up and get all of the throw pillows off of the floor and everything and it just looks so neat and clean honestly.

Once I have the bed made I usually go around the bedroom and pick up any items that are on the floor and on the tables. From dirty dishes to dirty clothes, anything that doesn’t belong I’ll pick it all up and put it all where it goes.

After I finish that usually I’ll head into the bathrooms and pick up any items that don’t belong on the counter and pick up dirty towels and clothes up off of the floor. Then I’ll just put them all where they belong.

Once I’m done doing that I’ll head into the kitchen and just start putting away things that don’t belong on the counters or the dining room table and just put them all away.

Once I get everything put up I just like to start doing the dishes. Usually, I just rinse everything and put it in the dishwasher because I mean, who wouldn’t if they have a dishwasher right?

After I have all the dishes put away and started washing in the dishwasher I just like to clean out my sink really well because one of my favorite things to do is clean my sinks I love the look of a clean sink for some reason.

Then I’ll just wipe down all the counters, appliances, and the stove and just give it all a good wipe down and cleaning. This is another one of my favorite things to do because it literally looks and smells so good after I do this. Then I’ll just go around and wipe down my dining table and chairs, then head into the bedroom and wipe down my nightstand and table and shelves, etc. After I’m done in the bedroom I’ll go into the second bedroom and wipe down my desk and everything in there.

After I’m done with that I’ll head into the bathrooms and just clean the counters, and clean the tub and shower every now and then, and then obviously the toilets.

After I’ve finished scrubbing everything occasionally I’ll go in and wipe down all the mirrors, windows, tv’s, and all of the glass surfaces we have.

Once I’m done with that I’ll just sweep the floors in every room and hall I can get then I’ll just go in and mop.

After the floors are all clean I’ll start on clothes and just fold all of the clean ones and put them away.

Now I’m finished! Usually, when I’m finished I like to light my candles especially my Christmas scented ones to add to the mood and then I’m completely done and can just sit back and relax in our now clean house!

That was all for this post you guys, I hope you enjoyed reading! Check back soon for more updates and happy holidays!
