My Morning Ritual : Beauty Essentials to Start the Day

January 24, 2024 · In: Interior Design

Here’s a little secret I’ll share with you – even though I consider myself a night owl, there’s something truly special about mornings. Most days, I find myself lighting candles, humming a favorite tune, and savoring those quiet moments around the house. These moments set the mood and mindset for my day, and they’re absolutely essential.

My mornings typically kicks off with spending time with the kids, listening to their plans for the day, and ensuring they’re set for a fantastic day ahead. Then, it’s time to tackle my workout routine. This isn’t up for negotiation because it not only keeps me healthy but also gets my mind in gear. Once the kids are off to their day and the workout is done, it’s time to prepare for the day, and my daily ritual revolves around quick moments of self-care. These are the tried-and-true essentials that I can’t imagine my going without!

Cremo has been my go-to for shaving cream for years! I’ve loved their lavender scent for as long as I can remember, but recently they came out with their Reserve collection in a fragrance called Jasmine Tuberose. Guys, I’m telling you. It is incredible! It smells so beautiful and it leaves the skin feeling soft and plump!

This eye cream is exactly what it is called- a pure shot- of moisture for the under eyes AND it depuffs them VISIBLY! I’ve never had an eye serum like this! It’s a miracle product and I never skip using it morning or night!

Wow. KERASTASE’s Chroma Absolu Chroma Hair Gloss is going to BLOW YOUR MIND! This stuff is like a magic elixir that leaves the hair frizz free, glossy (and I mean GLOSSY!), strengthened and just STUNNING! You use this one while you are in the shower in between shampoo and conditioner and it’s quick and easy!

Yes another product that lives us to its name- HYPER REAL. It’s a serum-moisturizer hybrid that visibly reduces dark spots and the appearance of pores, hydrates, retexturizes and strengthens the skin barrier for a petal-smooth, even canvas… and IT WORKS! I use this every morning and night and have seen a visible change in my skin!

Personally, I think they should have called this product WOWZA! but they didn’t ask me! :-). This is for post shower hair while it’s still damp. Just spritz this into your hair and you are going to flipping your hair and running your fingers through it ALL DAY LONG. Don’t blame me if you tell a stranger at Target to touch it when she asks what you use to get your hair that silky. I cannot be held accountable on that one! 🙂

Well, don’t forget to wrap yourself in a fabulous robe because somehow even brushing your teeth will feel more decadent! Let me know if you have had luck with any other products! To see even more, check out my favorites on my Amazon Storefront, and follow my on LTK for exclusive content!

Guys!! I’m so happy right now I’m about to cry! The cuteness factor is off the charts!! I’m so excited to see our vision for our fall porch come together complete with pumpkins from the pumpkin patch!! 

And can we talk about Louis in his adorable fall sweater?! And the wreaths (they are faux!!!) and the lanterns and the flickering pumpkins?!!! 

If you could die from cuteness overload I’d be a goner! Hahaha but thankfully it looks like I’ll be holding on for a few more days and greeting our kids as they come home for fall here and it won’t be long and this will be getting a little Halloween overlay for trick or treaters! 

To me, these are the greatest moments of life. Creating a home that says “welcome home!” I hope in our own little way we can inspire you as well! As always, sending so much love from our home to yours! XxV
