PRODUCTIVE MORNING ROUTINE | FEB. 2018

Your lying in bed, procrastinating every little thing you have to do today and tomorrow because you don’t feel like doing it. Having no motivation, and no guilt or remorse about it either, you just continue to put it off until it’s too late to complete it all. Then you realize you’ve lost your source of an audience, an income, and you’ve lost your best state of mind because you stopped doing the one thing you love.

No more procrastination or putting important things off until it’s too late to do them, it’s time to start kicking a** and completing it all NOW. So here I bring you, the most productive morning routine. For you to read and use to motivate you and pick you up off of the couch again and have a good productive morning EVERY morning.

5:30AM, get up. Start the coffee and go brush your teeth, wash your face, and use the restroom. Let's be real here, not one single person can be productive without being heavily caffeinated and full of coffee beforehand. Also been loving this new skincare routine and I’ll let you guys in on it in a post coming up soon. My favorite holy-grail skincare product though is Mario Badescu facial spray

6:00AM, make the cup of coffee just the right way because coffee = life. Head to the kitchen and grab breakfast. Normally, breakfast is fruit or something simple and easy to make because it’s hard to cook when you're super tired still.

6:30AM, eat and watch TV/YouTube. First George Lopez (or whatever your favorite show is), then watch some YouTube for motivation because George Lopez never gets old and is just probably one of the best Nick classics that ever aired. Then YouTube for work motivation, productive morning routines are a must for motivation.

7:00AM, make the bed and tidy up the house. It’s never good to work in a messy cluttered house honestly. It’ll clutter up your mind and thoughts and make it hard to work.

7:30AM, light a candle and get to work. Lighting a candle can put you in such a better mood. Can someone explain this as to why? Can’t even put it into words here. Then get to writing, filming, editing, scheduling, posting, emailing, etc. Work for about 3-6 hours depends on how much I have to do for the day.

10:30AM, workout. Working out is just going to make you feel so much more put together, confident, and happy all throughout so it’s worth doing, even this early in the day.

11:30AM-12PM, shower and get dressed. Errands almost always have to be ran almost every day it seems like. This is a good time for you to get dressed and ready to go run them and just get them completely out of the way.

12-3PM, run errands. Whether it be bills, groceries, etc. just get it all done around this time and normally grab some food while out unless you ate before leaving.

3PM, come home. Work a little more if needed, clean up if needed.

4-6PM, relax and binge TV shows or go out with friends. It’s relaxation time.

6PM, read a book, draw, work on journals etc. Get into a comfy/cozy mood and read a few chapters in favorite book or draw if it’s what calms you or work on your journal/bullet journal. Do what calms you most and makes you feel best. Even a good hot bubble bath will help with some candles. Just do something away from your phone and Tv.

7PM, get ready for bed and have time to lie on phone and chill for a while before sleeping. Catch up on social media, etc.

8PM, bedtime. Turn off the lights and hit the hay.

Mood Board Monday | No. 2

Happy Monday!! So, I'm back you guys with another Mood Board Monday for My Life in a Blog, and I'm actually really loving doing these posts! They are just honestly super fun to make and write and it just gives me the time to express myself and what moods I'm feeling for the week.

To start off this mood board, I want to start off with the two desk images I have included. My mood lately has just been officey like I would love to have and make my own office for blogging. Pinterest has given me a ton of inspiration for it and I'm loving the ideas I've found. Anyways, then onto the next image. I've been really into bubble baths again lately because honestly, I just forgot how relaxing and beneficial they are so I've really fallen back in love with those and plan on sticking to that at least once a week. The food in the collage is actually a buddha bowl recipe from Tasty that I tried a while back and it was AMAZING and super super super healthy so I definitely have been wanting to make more soon and definitely plan on it sometime hopefully this week! As for the calendar its a bullet journal because one of my absolute favorite things to do, is write in it. Like I love bullet journaling, am I the only one? Don't think so. Anyways, and then the last is just a sort of relaxing coffee image with a really cozy vibe to it and I'm loving it because there's nothing I love more than chilling and relaxing and drinking coffee!

My Theme Park Necessities

One thing that always happens is you get to the theme park, then you go to grab something and realize you forgot it at the hotel or in the car. It’s one of the most annoying things to ever happen and then you have to spend the whole day without half of your things because you forgot them! Here’s the ultimate theme park necessities list so you don’t forget a thing and don’t have to deal with missing anything while you're at the park!

Reusable water bottle. Because you shouldn’t have to pay $3 for one bottle of water.

Wrist Wallet. Not only for my season pass but extra money for food and also to help hold my phone. Use a wrist wallet because they don’t allow bags on the rides and it’s the best way to keep your phone in a safe place on the ride. Just leave it on your wrist and hold on to it and it won’t go anywhere, I’ve done this plenty of times and it’s worked.

Sunscreen. Nothing worse than leaving a theme park, completely burnt.

Bathing suit. Unless you wear one under your clothes for the water rides and extra little water park most Six Flags now have inside of the park. Usually, I wear mine under my clothes so I don’t have to tote one around and it’s just easier to change instead of having to change everytime I change parks or rides.

Phone. Because you don’t wanna get lost obviously but not only that you need pictures! To keep it safe, use my wrist wallet trick.

Body spray. Trust me, you’ll be sweating like crazy if it’s hot out and you’ll need it at least once.

Deo. Because like I said, you’ll be sweating like crazy if it’s hot out and nobody wants to smell.

Lock. Just in case I decide to use a locker at the park while I’m there.

Soooo, that’s all for this post you guys and I hope you enjoyed reading! Check back for more soon and to stay updated follow my blog and follow me on social media.

7 Tips to Minimise Your To-do List

We’re all human and we all have a ton of things to do on a daily or weekly basis, it’s life and it’s adulthood.

It’s the sad part of growing up because you have ten times more to do and less time and energy to do it all. Sometimes we all need a little extra motivation or push to get it all done, or even tips to help us minimise all of the things we have to do so it doesn’t feel so overwhelming.

If you’re tired of having way too much to do and not enough time to do it, here are ten tips to minimise your to-do list and make life ten times easier to deal with.

Plan out your days. Grab yourself a planner and start planning literally everything you have to do for the next week. From filming or writing to cleaning in certain places to making things and going places, whatever it might be plan it out and the day you have it scheduled and also the time of the event/to-do item.

Clean during the day all day. This sounds worse than it actually is. What I’m saying is, clean while you use things, say you make a cup of coffee so put back the coffee where it goes put the sugar back and the milk and when you get finished with your cup rinse it and stick it in the dishwasher. The more you do this, the easier your cleaning routine will be which means less on your to-do list and more “you time.”

Accept your limits. You don’t have to do every little thing on your list right away or at all! It’s okay to cross things off sometimes without completing them. There’s only so many things you can do in one day or week. Honestly, give yourself a break and don’t push yourself. If it tries to go past your limit, accept it, cross it off, and forget about it. It’s not worth the stress honestly.

Focus only on what matters the most. The thing on your to-do list that means the most is the number one thing you should focus on the most. Anything else that is small or inconvenient it can wait until you finish the important things that are on your list. Plus, if you don’t finish everything on your list at least you can say you got the more important things on your list finished.

Try letting go. There are only 24 hours in a day and you can’t always make everyone happy all of the time. It can be hard because you might feel like you have to make everyone else happy but at the end of the day, you have to think of yourself too. The more you let go of, the shorter your to-do list will get and the easier your day and life will be.

Reflect. Look back and think, did the world end just because I didn’t finish doing that one little thing? No, so it’s not worth worrying about. Let it go and relax. If it didn’t end the world, then it’s okay that you didn’t finish those small tasks. It’s life and we all have our boundaries and limits and restrictions. Relax, and remind yourself that you tried the best you could and that is all that really matters!

Only make 3 tasks per day. This might be hard because you might have a ton of things to do but if you do this it’s going to shrink your list ten times and not only that but it’s going to take SO much stress off of you to look at a much smaller to-do list. So take off all the unnecessary stuff and only add in 3 tasks per day, that way you won’t have to stress about so many things at once.

That was all for this post you guys and I hope you enjoyed reading! Check back soon for more posts and also follow my blog and social media for updates for each new post uploaded!
