Rise and Shine
I often get up at 7 o’clock. I’ve a really, very psychotic morning routine that I attempt to hit. It does not occur each day, however I actually assume that it units me up for achievement. I’ve actually sat down and thought of what my non-negotiables are within the morning, and that is gentle, motion, hydration, and meditation. So the second I get up, I open the shades to flood our room with gentle.
I hydrate [with] lemon water I’ve by my mattress with chlorophyll drops in it.

Morning Upkeep
[I do] tons of magnificence stuff, but it surely’s fast. It is habit-stacked. Individuals assume I’ve this, like, 30-minute magnificence routine, I do not. I barely put on make-up after I’m in Austin. My principal subject is puff, and that is been my subject for the final 10 years. So the very first thing I do for my magnificence routine is 100-percent ice—I’ve to have ice. Whether or not it is ice at a lodge, the place I am dumping my face in a bucket of it, or it is an ice dice, or it is my Ice Curler that I’ve created during the last 5 years, I’ve to have chilly remedy on my face. Normally I am going to put chilled eye pads on my face and a few serum and stroll round letting these eye pads sit. I really like taking a masks and strolling round and multitasking within the morning, after which ice-rolling over the masks, that feels wonderful. However I haven’t got like a 10-step routine; it is some serum, it is an oil, and it is positively ice, at all times ice. I’d say the entire routine takes 5 minutes, until I am sporting a kind of sheet masks—I am going to go away that on for half-hour and ice-roll over it.
Energy Begin
I do not wish to eat very first thing within the morning. That is so random, however I am going to eat kiwi earlier than I work out, as a result of it does one thing to my blood sugar, with chia seeds or black sesame seeds or hemp seeds. Then, after I work out, I often can have a cup of oatmeal and two scoops of protein powder and make a mush, and put berries on it with almond milk to get protein in.

On video, on digital camera, on podcast, I often have my make-up performed 5 – 6 days per week—not at all times performed by somebody, but it surely’s performed generally. After which, it is good to let my pores and skin breathe in Austin.
[When I do wear makeup,] I do not like eye shadow, I do not like eyeliner.
