How to make the most out of your mornings

A good start of the morning is the key to a productive and happy day. In this post I'm going to share with you my morning routine and some tips that help me to feel energetic and motivated throughout the day.

1. An hour without a phone

I've already talked about this in my previous post. I've been learning to start my day without Instagram, Twitter and other social platforms. It really helps to keep my mind clear for the first hour after waking up and I just feel more calm and present by doing this. It is a very simple habit but I really encourage you to try it.

2. Stretches

After making my bed, brushing my theeth and washing my face I'm trying to convince myself to do a little work out. Unfortunately, I've never been in good relationships with sport and working out is the last thing I want to do in the morning:D But I figured that it is so much easier to do a 5 min morning stretches. I'm just doing torso twists, shoulder stretch, bending forward etc. It really helps my body to wake up and I noticed that I feel more energetic throughout the day if I do stretches in the morning.

3.Taking a shower

This is the most relaxing and at the same time life-enhancing thing. Now that it is very hot I love taking tepid showers beacuse I don't really enjoy cold showers. The smell of lotion, shower gel and scrub really helps me to wake up and puts me in a good mood.

4. Reading

I've developed this habit not long ago. Instead of going on Instgram in the mornings, I started reading books. So after taking the shower I grab a book, sit on my bed and just start immersing in a different world. I've been having hard time focusing while reading, but after finishing the book that I really enjoyed this problem went away (btw the recent book I've read is "Dance Little Lady" by Lilian Harry ; soon I'll write about this book and some others that I recommend).

5. Breakfast (my fav)

After reading a couple of pages, I start feeling hungry. To tell you the truth, breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. First of all, breakfast meals are super aesthetic. Second of all, I love the atmosphere of the morning; sharing these moments with my family while eating breakfast and drinking a cup of coffee with milk just makes me so happy. After breakfast I usually go on my phone and check my Mail, Instagram, Twitter etc.

So that's my morning. Thank you so much for reading till the end. I hope these little healthy tips will help you to stay in harmony with yourself:)

Thrift shopping: yes or no?

Today I'd like to talk about my passion, something that helps me forget about my problems and something that makes me loose track of time - shopping. Just like most girls I love shopping very much. Before quarantine my mom and I used shopping as some kind of therapy. We were the best shopping buddies and went to the malls almost every weekends. Going to the secondhand stores was also a part of our shopping journey. Certainly, everyone likes stylish and good quality clothing. But the problem is that the clothes of popular brands may cost a good deal of money. Now, I personally not a big fan of spending large amounts of money on designer clothes. I mean, I love expensive brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Prada and others, but I personally wouldn't spend millions of dollars to fill my wardrobe with designer dresses, bags and shoes. I believe that it is amazing to be able to afford the clothes of such brands but it's important not to go too far with it. I can say that I'm ...

Summer 2020 to do list

Despite the fact that we all are forced to stay at home during the summer 2020 because of the quarantine we still can make this summer productive and have fun. The most important thing is not where you spend the summer but who you spend it with. If you have your friends and family as your company - you're so lucky and you should be thankful for it:) Even if you're feeling a bit lonely - don't worry. Stay positive, take care of yourself and use this time to become a better person. I hope you'll find this to do list helpful and hopefully it will inspire you to do something memorable AND fun. 1. Outdoor movie night. I think it is very romantic. You can do it either with your friends/family or by yourself. Just grab a laptop, some snacks, go to your backyard, turn on a movie and enjoy the atmosphere. 2. Watch the sunset. This one is so easy and you can literally do it today. Im serious. Wait till it's evening and go watch the sunset. Sunsets are my favorite thing in t...

Life without social media

Today I want to talk about a very important topic - how social media influences our life and daily routines. No doubt, Instagram , Twitter , Facebook (yep, many people including me still use it ) , Youtube and many more platforms have become a significant part of our lifestyle. I'm pretty sure that 90% of people start their day by going on Instagram and checking their Mail. On the one hand I'm so grateful that we have social media. Mainly, because with its help we can communicate with our loved once. We can have conversations and video chats on Zoom or Skype and it's so important during this not easy times. But on the other hand, it's really scary to see people on their devices all the time. I mean it's some sort of addiction. Everytime we start to feel bored or have nothing to do we grab our phone and literally wasting our lives watching videos or pictures of other people having fun and living their best lives. It's crazy to me. I, myself, was really addicted t...
