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?
Howdy my loved ones fellow member! I wish to claim that pros and cons magnificent, terrific authored and can include almost all essential infos. I would like to look further posts similar to this .
Such a good reminder to stretch in the morning — I would love to incorporate a quick yoga sequence into my morning routine.
PS, I want your closet!
Omg, the badass unicorn! I SO need that on a T-shirt! And seriously, my curiosity got the best of me with that link…love it! Elmo has some pretty sweet moves, yo!
What was Monday morning’s breakfast? GLORIOUS French toast with cinnamon, pears, and REAL maple syrup! Exceptionally delicious because I had denied myself from having it for dinner the night before…for reasons I’m actually not quite sure of…lesson LEARNED!
Do you just cut away the nasty parts of food? Or just toss the whole thing out? I ALWAYS just cut out the nasty parts…moldy cheese? Eh, it’s still good once you scrape off the blue! Lol
Do you brush your teeth before or after breakfast? Before? WHO does that?!!
Do you have a hard time picking out your outfit in the morning? Not really…unless I’m going somewhere special/meeting new people…then I’ll change clothes like 29563 times! Haha
Awwr, thanks Erin! Yup, these were all shots from home 🙂
Amanda, this was such a simple and wonderful post. Are these all shots in your house?? It’s beautiful, and I’m truly a bit jealous! I hope you had a marvelous monday!
Also: LOL literally at the unicorn gag!
Sounds alright for a monday morning 😀 Mind was pretty similar. Wake up @ 5:20, get dressed, love cat, feed cat, make smoothie, get food, and go to hot yoga! Then to work after that… boo…
Happy [late] Monday! I always have had hard time picking out an outfit haha I usually think it over while I’m showering and hope for the best :p I love how organized your closet looks btw! I wish mine were that big haha mine is still set to 4 year old height LOL! I guess it’s good I’m short 😉
I always have to brush my teeth after a meal. I can’t stand not to! Picking out an outfit is such a battle for me… good thing I wear scrubs during the week! 🙂
I’m really weird…I NEED to make my bed, even if I’m the only one who’s going to see it. There’s something about coming home from a long day of work and walking into a room with an unmade bed that just stresses me out! Weird, I know.
I also brush my teeth after breakfast. The first thing I do in the morning is drink coffee, so morning breath is masked with coffee breath. So I mine as well just wait until I eat breakfast and am ready to go into public to make my breath smell beautiful 😉
Not weird! That’s kind of why I make sure my kitchen is clean before I go to bed every night – waking up to a dirty one just starts my day off on the wrong foot.
Yesterday’s breakfast was simple; just some plums and pistachios. I’m a bit weird when it comes to bruised fruit. If I’m throwing it into a crisp, salad, cake, etc. I’ll just cut off the bad parts, but if I’m eating it straight up I’ll pass over the bruised piece in favour of one that’s perfect. I never toss anything out, though. It may not be eaten as a snack but it’ll be used eventually, so I save it.
Brushing my teeth is the last thing I do before heading out the door. I continuously sip on green tea all morning–right up until I need to leave–and it tastes funky if you brush your teeth and then drink it.
Don’t even get me started on picking out outfits in the morning. I will try on at least four combinations before heading out if I didn’t choose an outfit the night before.
I had such a laugh at the “badass unicorn” showed it to my boyfriend and we agreed that we need to print this out and poster my flat with it 😀 – thanks for sharing.
By the way – I wished for the sunshine you got yesterday morning. It’s cold and cloudy again in Germany and I wanted to get up early and for a nice, quick run before heading out for daily biz… not happening. This weather makes me cuddle deeper into my blankets and write never-ending comments on my favorite blogs 🙂
Oh girl, I can definitely relate to that! Our weather has been so up and down lately. It’ll go from being snowy and gray one day, to sunny and mild the next. I wish spring would just show up already!
Looks like one beautiful day 🙂 Breakfast was an egg white omelet with spinach + kale plus a grapefruit. For some reason the combo of citrus and eggs is such a treat for me in the am. Odd I know! I cut off the bad parts of food, I feel so wasteful just tossing it all away so I feel better just cutting it off and trashing a small portion. Hope you have a great week! Loving the Naked palette too 🙂 Love + Shine CourtStar
Haaaaapppy Monday to you, too! Or, by now maybe I should say Tuesday? Regardless, it was fun experiencing your morning through photos; I think it’s fascinating to take a peek into other’s routines–and closets (want to come organize mine?). 😉
I brush my teeth both before and after breakfast because I can’t stand that grimy feeling in my mouth when I wake up in the morning. And, in case I forget to brush after breakfast, I keep a mini toothbrush tucked away in my bag.
As for clothing decisions: I actually slip on my gym clothes first thing in the morning on weekdays, so I never really have to put much thought into what I’m going to wear (other than which neon color sport tank I’m in the mood for) until after breakfast and my workout. Since I’m not working in typical office right now (Starbucks and Whole Foods are my workplaces), I often just shower off and put on fresh gym clothes afterward. I go for comfort, and running leggings and hoodies beat skinny jeans in that department ANY day. 🙂
Breakfast this morning was two pieces of cinnamon toast (love!) with an egg-spinach-parmesan scramble. 🙂
I absolutely LOVE Green Mountain Coffee and pretty much anything that has to do with New England and Vermont 🙂 My favorite non k-cup is their brazil nut coffee…yummmmmy
I haven’t had Puffins in forever! I love the cinnamon and peanut butter kinds, but I haven’t had cereal in awhile, I’ve just preferred other breakfasts lately. Speaking of which, this morning’s breakfast was a sweet-style socca pancake topped with crunchy PB and Vega chocolate protein frosting. I’ve been trying to switch up my breakfasts more often so I don’t get burned out, and it’s fun trying out different things.
Can’t ever go wrong with a box of puffins sitting in your pantry.. which reminds me I’m down to one box. Oh the horror if I’d run out!!
I loved this post! My breakfast this morning was a sweet potato zucchini muffin and a blueberry smoothie 🙂 The muffin was delicious but the smoothie could have been better! I tried a packet of Oh Natural Vega Energizing Smoothie in it – not a fan. And I just cut away the icky parts of food.. hate wasting! As for brushing teeth – always after I eat! I feel like it’s weird to do it before!
Awwr that sucks about the smoothie! I’ve never tried the natural one, but I didn’t mind the chocolate and vanilla flavors.
I bought a chocolate one too so hopefully I will like that one better 🙂
this post.. so simple, and YOU, and i love IT! especially that morning. i do the same. Now if only someone could style me. ugh
man your closet is organized! lol. Love this post, a morning in pictures. I agree, coffee is probably the best part of waking up 🙂 especially the flavored kind! I think that’s pretty much the way I started my week as well….coffee, breakfast, a workout, reading the paper…I usually do my blog catch up at night, unlike most of the rest of the blog world lol!
You freakin’ rock. By the way, Sweet Brown is my girl (“ain’t nobody got time for that!”) and Jesus Calling is one amazing devotional!
I love starting off my morning by stretching!
Breakfast this morning was a yogurt mess with vanilla Oikos, PC fibre cereal, Kashi Honey Almond Flax, a banana, blueberries, and Barney Butter. So good!
What a lovely morning 🙂 My mornings during the week usually are making my self wake up, trying to remember to brush my hair, and driving to school oatmeal-in-hand haha 😉 That’s why I love weekends so much! Hope you had a great day!
a lot of people hate mondays but I actually love the “fresh start” feel 🙂
Great post for a Monday!! I love waking up to bright sunshine – especially on a Monday morning!.,
My breakfast today : homemade blueberry oat pancakes topped with lots of cinnamon and fresh strawberries.
Your morning routine looks almost identical to mine! I just wish my closet was as organized as yours!! 🙂 have a great week!
This definitely put a smile on my face 🙂 Happy Monday, love!
Happy Monday! I absolutely hate wasting food! If a food is safe to cut the bad parts off and eat it I will! If things like meat and dairy go bad I will toss it but I think that’s different than a bad spot on a piece of fruit. I almost never make me bed, I tell myself Bentley likes it better that way 😉
I don’t mess with meat or dairy either, but for some reason, bad spots on fruits and veggies don’t bother me as much.
I started my week with some pancakes 🙂
thank god i’m not the only one who doesn’t have time to make the bed…it’s just going to get messed up again anyway!
i must brush before i eat and i pick out my clothes the night before because i workout so damn early in the morning!
I will never understand how people brush thier teeth before breakfast. What’s the point? My Monday breakfast was a pumpkin smoothie – better than it sounds! Happy Monday x
It’s not even about point for me, but taste – eating anything after brushing your teeth just makes everything taste really wonky.
I love Barbara’s cereal! And your bed looks really comfortable!
That banana does look nasty. I tend to cut away the bad parts of food rather than throwing out the whole thing (unless it’s 100% not salvagable). I definitely have a hard time picking out my outfit in the morning too!
I was driving back from Miami this morning during breakfast time so I had a bagel and a coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts. Not the best choice, but it filled me up for hours..which is weird because I always get hungry shortly after eating. I cut away the nasty parts of food…I don’t believe in wasting food if I don’t have to! I brush my teeth before breakfast..which kind of defeats the purpose, but I usually brush and then run and THEN eat..so it’s not all lost. I don’t usually have too hard of a time picking out what to wear for the day normally…but if I’m going out, then my closet turns into a disaster zone.
I always have a hard time picking out my outfit in the morning! Love fashion. That’s cool you stretch in the morning. I should get in the habit of doing something like that!
