Good morning everybody and welcome back to my channel.
For today's video I'm filming a little morning routine.
I'm going to bring you guys along through my morning with me, a spring morning routine.
It is May 5th today.
So it's finally starting to actually feel like spring here in Ontario, Canada, Toronto,
Canada.
And I'm very happy about it.
So I just got back from walking Millie.
That was like the start of my morning routine and now I'm going to make breakfast and coffee
and all that.
I'm also just drinking some water in my HydroPlus.
I try and just sip on this like all day long to get in the hydration that I need.
And yeah, it's delicious.
So for breakfast today, I think I'm going to have a bagel with cream cheese and some
fruit.
I think that's kind of my current game plan for this morning.
Let's get cooking.
My breakfast is all ready and I have my iced coffee and my water.
So next up, I'm just going to do some digital planning on my planner while I am eating my
breakfast.
So this is my planner.
It is from Flourish Planner and I just use it on the app GoodNotes on my iPad.
So this is like her weekly dashboard spread that you guys can purchase.
So it has like today's date, your intention, your workout, your self-care, you have a whole
schedule section.
Top priorities to do would be nice and then you can put any reminders in here.
So I prefer to fill this out typically like the night before, but I didn't do it last
night so I'm going to fill it out right now while I eat my breakfast and just get my day
all organized about what I need to finish and get done today.
Alright guys, I finished eating my breakfast and now I'm about to do my skincare and I'm
super excited because this portion of the video is sponsored by La Roche-Posay and they
make my absolute favorite facial sunscreen.
It is so freaking good.
The Anthelios 50 Plus UVB Plus UVA Ultra Fluid Invisible Finish Sunscreen.
It's the number one dermatologist recommended sun protection brand.
If you guys didn't know, the sun is the number one cause of skin cancer and it's so important
to protect your skin.
I have had skin cancer in my family.
Thankfully, it was all curable because they were caught early, but it's so important to
protect your skin from the sun.
This is my literal all-time favorite facial sunscreen.
It is so nice.
It does not have a white cast at all, which is amazing.
It blends so nicely into the skin as well.
It's 80 minutes sweat and water resistant, so it's great because I can wear it to the
gym or if I'm going on a walk, etc, etc, where I know maybe I'm going to sweat a little bit.
It's summer, you know?
We all sweat.
It's hot out.
This is going to give you that 80 minutes of resistance to that, which is great.
I'm going to get into my skincare now because I do apply that as my last step, of course.
Last step in the routine.
I'll show you guys what my skin looks like once I'm done with this so you can see how
glowy and beautiful it is.
I just love working with La Roche-Posay and I love talking about sunscreen because I just
think that it's so important to protect your skin from the sun.
I'll have a link to shop the sunscreen down below, but you can always find it at your
local pharmacies and drugstores.
They typically carry La Roche-Posay.
I'm just going to apply some moisturizer and then we'll go in with the sunscreen.
I've always heard with sunscreen to do the two fingers method.
Usually, if you do two fingers worth, that's enough for your whole face.
I typically do do that, so I'll just do one finger, two fingers.
This fluid's really, really ... You guys can see what it looks like.
When I apply it to my face, you guys can see that there is literally zero white cast, which
is so amazing.
It just goes on so nicely, blends in.
I always make sure to apply it on my eyelids.
In the summer, I always make sure too to make sure my ears are covered, especially if my
hair is up.
Literally my favorite.
It feels so nice on the skin.
Here's my skin.
I have the sunscreen on.
You guys can see how it just blends so nicely into the skin.
It honestly gives you a little bit of a glow too, which is nice.
It's moisturizing, which I love.
This one is beautiful and I'm literally in love with it.
All right, guys.
I am all dressed and ready to head to the gym, so I wanted to show you guys my little
gym fit for today.
This sports bra is from Buffbunny Collection.
Super cute.
I love this dark red color.
The back has a ton of cool crisscrossing on it.
Love it.
I also love that it's a little bit more of a long line bra.
Then these shorts, I believe they're called Track That shorts from Lululemon.
The black color, they're a three-inch short in the length, but they have the little high
cuts on the side.
I love wearing shorts like this for upper body days.
It's just my fave, especially if I'm going to be doing a lot of walking on the treadmill
or something like that, which I plan to do a good walk on the treadmill before I start
my arm day.
Yeah, this is my little gym fit.
Just going to throw on a pair of my Nikes and we're good to go.
I'm going to head to the gym and get a little upper body session in.
I want to work on my pushups as well.
I've been trying to do them every upper body session just to work on getting that strength
up there.
Yeah, let's go.
Laughing with my friends under the sky, following our hearts so then we take a ride wherever.
I always try to let my spirit fly, fly away.
That's the only way to get that high, high away.
Looking for trouble?
You better count on it.
I will give you a struggle, give you a struggle.
If you're looking for trouble, we'll push up above, yeah.
Cause I don't want to fight, peace is what I'm under.
You better give you a struggle.
Alright, I am back from the gym.
That was a very good upper body session.
I'm getting these.
Whose arms are these?
I don't know, but I'm getting freaking.
And I'm just going to make a protein shake right now.
Protein smoothie time.
Actually, I think I'm just going to have a shake.
I don't really feel like having a legitimate smoothie.
So we're going to have a protein shake.
I also want to try out a new protein that I was sent.
So that's what we're going to do.
This one from BEAM, which stands for Be Amazing.
It's a vegan protein in the flavor of blueberry and muffin.
And it has 20 grams of protein.
So I'm going to do what I used to do.
When I make a little protein shake.
So basically all it is is oat milk.
I'll add in a banana and then the protein and that's it.
And I blend it up.
And sometimes some ice because it just makes it a little bit colder.
But we should be fine.
I have to find a scoop in here.
Always a question.
Where's the scoop?
Hello.
I'm going to have to dig for it.
It's just on this side.
Is there one in here?
That's another question.
Maybe I'm digging for nothing.
Oh, there it is.
Found it.
Now my hand is covered in protein powder.
That's fine.
Okay.
Blender.
I always have some sort of meal after I work out.
It's not that you have to have protein immediately after you work out.
But I'm just starving after I work out.
And I'm like, give me something.
I need something.
Whether it's food or protein shake, protein bar.
I just need something in me after I work out because I'm hungry.
I also ended up running on the treadmill instead of walking.
I don't know what came over me.
But all of a sudden I was like, I'm going to run a mile.
So I just ran a mile to warm up.
That's probably as far as I can run.
I never push myself.
I should do one workout where I just try and run, I don't know, three miles.
Just to see if I can.
I feel like I can.
I feel like I might feel horrible afterwards.
But I think I can do it.
Okay.
So I have the banana in there.
I should probably get you guys closer so I have a better viewpoint of me making a smoothie.
Come on, Chelsea.
Let's make it aesthetic.
I made a little bit of an aesthetic morning sequence.
And since then it's gone downhill.
So I have the banana.
We're going to add just a couple ice cubes.
This ice cube tray is like my absolute favorite.
I got it off Amazon.
It creates these like little cube ice cubes.
And they're just so good.
I love them.
For my oat milk, I just use the Earth's Own.
Four simple ingredients.
Add like that much.
Maybe too much.
And then one scoop of this blueberry protein.
Let's see how she tastes.
Shall we?
Come here.
There we go.
Let's blend her on up.
It's time for the taste test.
Mmm.
That's so good.
And the consistency for vegan protein is really good.
It's not like grainy.
Or sometimes you have like a weird texture in your mouth.
This one's really good.
Five out of five.
Delicious.
Hello, friends.
I just got out of the shower.
So the two things for my skincare that I reapply after I shower are just my moisturizer and my sunscreen.
Because obviously that was a lot of water.
So I'm assuming it's gone.
I'm just going to assume.
And I'm about to go out too after I've done this and taken a really nice walk in the sun.
So I'm just going to make sure that I am back with the sun protection.
And then I'm just going to blow dry my hair.
For my hair, I'm just going to apply the Elements Renewing Leave-In Spray by Wella.
So I'm just applying my sunscreen again.
And then we're going to get ready.
Ready to conquer the day.
All right, guys.
I'm officially all ready for the day.
And to get into my work and all that kind of stuff, I do want to do, like, a little disclaimer that, obviously, I am self-employed.
And I am able to make my own schedule.
So I'm not saying that this morning routine is realistic to everybody.
But you can always take little portions if it motivates you and add it into your routine.
But I'm just sharing what I do every morning.
But, yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed today's video.
Give it a thumbs up if you did.
Subscribe if you're new.
And thank you again to La Roche-Posay for sponsoring a portion of today's video.
You guys are amazing.
And I will see you all in my next one.
Bye.
