Aaaaaaand cue Monday morning:
Waking up with the sun already shining.
Best attitude to have.
Make the bed? HA! Ain’t no one got time for that…
The best part of waking up… is coffee in your cup.
Streeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetch.
Food for the soul.
Food for the body – minus the nasty banana piece.
Catching up on [blog] world current events.
Poppin’ my pills (digestive enzymes, Vitamin D, calcium/magnesium, fish oil).
Brush, brushy, brush – Click at your own discretion. Very high potential to get stuck in your head.
Putting my face on.
Putting my clothes on. But gah!… What to wear?!
… doesn’t matter. I’m fabulous 😉
. – . – . – .
Happy Monday, friends! Hope your week is off to a marvelous start!
What was Monday morning’s breakfast?
Do you just cut away the nasty parts of food? Or just toss the whole thing out?
Do you brush your teeth before or after breakfast?
Do you have a hard time picking out your outfit in the morning?
Yahoo for a positive Monday attitude! The only thing draggin’ me down today is work which will be over soon & I’m determined to get my day back to how it started as soon as work is over with…which will be “awesome”! I made applesauce this weekend & thought of you 🙂
Awwwr <3 I hope it tasted amazing! I ran out of mine and I need to go stock up on some more apples!!
oh your breakfast bowls make me drool! you are a bad a** unicorn, lol. You make me laugh!
What was Monday morning’s breakfast? A smoothie with frozen raspberries, water, ice, Truvia and Vanilla Sun Warrior, plus a bowl of buckwheat flakes with 1tbsp of coconut oil melted on top (yum!)
Do you just cut away the nasty parts of food? Or just toss the whole thing out? Argh, nasty bits of fruit absolutely freak me out. I’ll throw away whatever it is (terrible I know) and most likely won’t eat another one because I’ll still be feeling somewhat sick. In fact, I was going to have a banana for my afternoon snack and now I’ve seen that pic I’m going to have applesauce instead (not your fault, just my random phobias :P)
Do you brush your teeth before or after breakfast? Eew, after…or else my entire breakfast will taste of mint!
Do you have a hard time picking out your outfit in the morning? Nope. I live in running clothes 😀

Love this post. 🙂 And I LOVE Puffins! So glad to see a fellow fan. 😉 I woke up with the sun shining this morning, but that still didn’t make moving my butt out of bed any easier! Happy Monday!
Cute photos 🙂 I had a banana with a tiny bit of PB before yoga this morning and then a scoop of chocolate Vega mixed with almond milk post sweat sesh. Keeps me full until lunch – love it!
This post made me smile. I actually had a nasty part of banana this morning and I just cut it off….wouldn’t want to waste the whole thing! I brush my teeth after breakfast since I hate the way my coffee and food taste if I brush them before!
I can’t handle the goofy toothpaste taste either… and I like to make sure that I don’t have breakfast stuck in my teeth before I walk out the door!
It depends on what the food is. A bad part of a banana? Cut that ish away. Bad part of a chicken breast or a piece of bread….? Not really feeling that.
Sounds like the best way to start the day 🙂 I always look forward to a good breakfast in the morning; it’s food for the body AND soul. And I never bother to make my bed (bad habit), unless I am expecting someone else to be sleeping in it with me 😉
Love this. So simple and peaceful. Sounds like a nice Monday so far. I want that Jesus Calling book so badly! I keep seeing quotes from it everywhere. Happy Monday 🙂
I definitely recommend picking it up! It’s such a beautiful addition to my day.
OMG I love that unicorn quote/photo hahaha.
I brush my teeth before eating breakfast and floss after.
Wow I am loving all the photos. I’m pretty jealous, not going to lie of your closet. I need a lot more space than I currently have. The green mountain coffee is def my favorite. I have yet to try the caramel one but I may have to go to the store and do it up.
The huge walk in closet may or may not have influenced my choice when I was looking at a place to buy 😉 And yes… the caramel one is amazing for sure. I haven’t tried some of the seasonal flavors that people seem to love, but you can’t go wrong with caramel and vanilla.
can I have your mirror? I kind of would love to see a badass unicorn staring back at me. and I always make my bed the second i get up, the second.
Breakfast this morning was a delicious switch-up from pancakes… Eggs + Canadian bacon, banana slices + dates, a toasted cranberry orange muffin with PB 😀 I am having a huge hankering for muffins lately!
Choco banana green smoothie for me this AM! And I definitely brush before breakfast. If I don’t, I can’t eat…too gross! And I want your closet – looks so organized and spacious. Happy Monday, my friend!
I am reading the Jesus Calling too! I got it mid-Feb and am loving it! I usually read the daily reading before going to bed though. I brush my teeth before breakfast, I am a mouth breather when I sleep so when I wake up my mouth is super dry. Coffee is definitely one of the best parts of waking up! 🙂
Happy Monday, fantastic Amanda :)!
It’s so interesting to get a peek into somebody else’s morning routine and I enjoyed finding out more about yours. Does that make me weird?
Sigh, does anybody have an easy time picking an outfit in the morning? Even having a closet full of dresses, shirts and skirts I feel like I wear the same combinations over and over again. Time for a little outfit challenge, I guess …
Being a waste-not-want-not person I try to just cut out nasty parts of food and toss as little as I can. Broccoli that has turned a bit yellow already still ends up in my meals and I even tried to save a jam that had just a little bit of mold on top recently. Weeell, I didn’t die eating it but it found its way into the trash a few days later. Not everything can be saved.
Brushing teeth before breakfast? Never. I don’t like my meals with a taste of toothpaste ;).
Definitely not weird – I always enjoy learning random things about people too 🙂 And I know what you mean about wearing the same outfit over and over. I have a few piece of favorite clothing, and I tend to rotate through those instead of trying new combos.
And I agree – breakfast has to remain toothpaste free.
Ooh I love your closet! My closet is so messy. I need to clean it now after seeing yours.
I NEVER make my bed!! I just do not see the point when I am the only one who sees it anyways and I am just going to have to peel the covers back that very same night anyways!
I always just cut away the “bad parts” of food. I guess that is the “hate wasting food” part of me talking!
Definitely just cut out the nasty parts of bad fruit – my fiancee hates it, so I have to lie and tell him it was good. I can’t pick out an outfit in the morning if my life depended on it – I usually do it the night before. I do brush my teeth the second I wake up – but I guess it doesn’t matter because I don’t usually have breakfast! Today breakfast (which was consumed at 11am) was a leftover quesadilla from yesterday!
Lol! I love the unicorn picture. I’m not a badass unicorn but a fancy unicorn! Anyway, I just had the same issue last night with my banana. It didn’t even have brown specks on it! It went in my oatmeal anyway because, well, I don’t have the patience to break open another one right now lol. Have a great monday!
Mine looked fine from the outside, too! It had specks, but no evil patches of black doom or anything.
Badass unicorn for sure! 😉 haha love it. I can’t stop saying “aint nobody got time fo dat” for everything haha! Happy Monday, love!
Seeing that picture of your bed makes we want to go back to mine! 🙂 I brush first thing when I wake up but without toothpaste. I should probably brush with toothpaste after breakfast but I’m too busy running out the door!
That first photo is beautiful – love the curtains! personally, I love Monday mornings and setting myself up for a great week. If your Monday morning looked like that, it looks like you’re setting yourself up for an awesome week 🙂
Glad your Monday is off to a fab start, Amanda- am loving the positivity :)! I brush my teeth before breakfast…I think that habit developed in boarding school. I’d usually go straight to classes from the breakfast hall so going back up wasn’t really an option (okay fine- I was too lazy to go back)! Breakfast this morning was stovetop oatmeal with peanut butter & applesauce buuuuut I think you will approve of dinner tonight, or should I say brinner: yogurt bowl in an empty peanut butter jar !
Hope your Monday only gets better :)!
I definitely approve of your dinner – sounds delish! I’m really craving some brinner myself, but I have some other things that need to be used up first 🙁
Egg whites with spinach, an apple with sunflower butter <my newest addiction.
I brush my teeth right when I get up (habit from being ready to run-literally out the door) then unless I forget I brush them again before walking out the door.
Have a beautiful Monday friend!
1) I want your closet
2) your bed looks incredibly comfortable
3) waking up and stretching? That sounds positively marvelous.
Breakfast this morning was a bagel with some butter- same as every day and I love it!
ha this was cute!
1. I had almost the exact same breakfast as you, except sub in blueberries for the applesauce (i ate all mine..must buy more apples) and the cereals for Leapin’ Lemurs. I swear, you are officially the queen of yogurt bowls. Cannot make one without thinking of you!
And making the bed? No, no time for that at all. I make mine when I wash the sheets. Otherwise…meh. I’m just going to mess them up that night anyways.
I just cut away the bad part. I’m not a food waster!
Teeth get brushed after breakfast, and I can never decide what to wear in the morning. Fortunately, having mainly afternoon classes all semester meant that I had until around noon to decide 😉
Happy Monday love! <3
I have such a hard time deciding on my outfit so I always pick it out at night. Plus I like that extra 15 minutes of sleep 🙂
Love these photos..especially that first quote; something INCREDIBLE happens every single day. Love every breath.
love your pictures 🙂 my breakfast was fried eggs on whole wheat toast & a glass of cucumber carrot juice. I brush my teeth before breakfast unless I drink milk – then after too.
Oh your closet is SO organized!! I am totally bad at this, ain’t got not time 🙂
I had scrambled eggs this morning with a ton of cinnamon and an apple. Worked for me!
I cut the bad pieces out, except it’s moldy then I say goodbye to the whole thing. Imagine, I sent Heather (KissBroccoli) a package with goodies and also some homemade cookies which didn’t make it there – well they did, but they had some whit fur all over. Eeek!! I felt so bad!! 🙂
Awwr! Yeah baked goods can be kind of tricky to send because of the eggs and butter and what not. I’m sure she still appreciated it, though! It’s the thought that counts 🙂
I literally juuust spotted that exact bowl yesterday (here in Hong Kong of all places!) and took a picture to send to my cat loving friend! Super cute 🙂
Monday mornings breakfast was a cup of green juice, followed up with a bowl of müesli, flax, & yogurt. As for brushing my teeth, my routine varies. If I’m wearing my retainer, I’ll brush my teeth before breakfast. And then again after breakfast. But if I’m not, then theres a greater chance I’ll just wait to brush my teeth after I eat.
And I’m right there with ya when it comes to picking out an outfit. What to wear, what to wear…
Usually what I pictured to look good in my head the night before all of a sudden doesn’t look so good, along with so many other things, causing me to end up rushing out the door because I couldn’t get an outfit together. Hope you had better luck than me this morning! 😉 Have a great Monday girlie!! 🙂
Happy monday love 🙂 breakfast today was eggs and a bagel half with tea plus frozen carob raisins for dessert, i always just cut away nasty pieces of stuff from my food, i brush my teeth after breakfast, and i want your closet now! Mine is not nearly as big of well organized 🙁
All of these pictures are so beautiful and make me feel like I am there. Like instant relaxation through photos.
Confession – I made a breakfast the other day specifically trying to re-create your yogurt concoctions! They always look so good!
My breakfast today was also a banana and a piece of berry oat bread I made yesterday.
Oh, Mondays.
Yay for yogurt concoctions!! I hope it was tasty!
Happy Monday beauty!
Can’t wait to chat more via text today, have to tell you things are going well over here:)
Haha, I love that photo, that’s just awesome.
My outfits take foreverrr to pick out, i try and pick it out the night before, but by morning I usually change my mind. Oops.
Bahaha, love the unicorn. Total BA for sure. I had pancakes this morning, and they were friggin marvelous!
I saw! They looked it! If only I had pancake patience skills…
Happy Monday! I love that quote. I usually plan my outfit while I’m working out in the morning. However, if I haven’t settled on an outfit by the time I’m home, yes it takes foreverrr.
Girl, you ARE fabulous. You’re a fabulous unicorn. Happy Monday <3.
I started off my day with a big bowl of Apple Cinnamon Chex. I have the hardest time picking out an outfit. I try to do it the night before, but I often end up changing multiple times anyway! Hope you have a marvelous Monday!
Happy Monday to you! I love your cozy stretch area with a view. It may sound gross, but brushing is the first thing I do when I wake. I eat right before leaving the house…it’s the last thing I do. By the way, you need to come organize my closet! 😉
It doesn’t sound gross at all! But doesn’t it make your breakfast taste funny afterwards? I even have a hard time chewing gum after I brush my teeth because of how wonky everything tastes.
