I was thrilled when Teresa of everythingtnm tagged me to do this post [see her answers here]! In a recent post, I stressed the importance of morning routines so this tag was right up my alley 🙂 Shall we begin?
AM
What is your morning beauty routine? My morning beauty routine is pretty simple. I either splash my face with water or use a gentle cleanser. I apply a moisturizer with spf. Depending on my day, I’ll either jump into my makeup routine or sport a fresh face for the morning.
What’s for breakfast? Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. My current go-to is a homemade acai bowl. This keeps me full throughout the morning but doesn’t make me feel bloated or lead to a crash by lunch. My other favorite option is overnight oats–let me know if you’d like to see my chocolate peanut butter overnight oat recipe on the blog.
Coffee or tea? Coffee! Since I’ve moved to New York City, I’ve explored tons of incredible coffee shops. On the days I don’t work, I head to a cute coffee shop to study for class or work on my blog. I’ve shared a few of the best coffee shops in NYC & I plan to create a part two in the future.
How long does it take to get out the door? Roughly an hour. If I’m headed into work, I’ll eat breakfast, get ready, and pack a lunch. If I’m working in a coffee shop or going for a run, I’ll be out the door in 30 minutes or so.
What is your go-to makeup look on a fuss-free morning? If I’m just headed out for a work out or to get some work done, I won’t bother with makeup. On days I’m running late to work, I’ll apply a tinted moisturizer [in Porcelain], concealer [in Custard], brow gel, mascara, blush [in Luster], and a lip tint [in I Rose You].

PM
What is your evening beauty routine? I always start off by taking my makeup off as soon as I get home. I’ll usually stick with a makeup remover cloth. Before bed, I’ll go in with my evening skincare routine.
Snack time! What’s in the bowl? Snacks are my jam. I’ll usually opt for something sweet. We’ve gotten into the bad habit of ordering Insomnia Cookies on Seamless [oops!]. We also love popping some popcorn–we buy rainbow kernels from our local farmer’s market. We even have cute popcorn buckets.
How do you wind down and prep for bed? Joe and I are TV junkies, which is funny given that we don’t even have cable. We use chromecast to watch all our favorites on Netflix, Hulu, and HBO. It’s also great because we can cast shows and movies from our computers–hello Amazon Instant Video. I want to start doing yoga before bed but that hasn’t happened yet.
Cozy up! What are you wearing to sleep? Cute PJs. I’m currently lusting after these!
What are some things you must do before hitting in the hay? I always snuggle our cat, Nutmeg. I kiss Joe goodnight. I’ll try to fit some reading in.
