The early morning end of summer sun peaks through sheer curtains, casting pretty beams of light around the room. The delicate scent of sweet cinnamon and pumpkin drifts about, setting the mood for the start of the morning.

Hello Beachy Babes!
Welcome back to my darling blog! After a long while of not feeling creative at all, I’ve found some inspiration to write again and what better way to start posting again than with a summer morning routine? However, this routine will be different than any others I have posted in the past. Instead of being a fancy pamper routine, this one will follow my real everyday morning.
Part of me coming back to blogging is that I wanted to show more real sides. Not to say that things I posted were fake, those were very real things I’ve done however, just written in an enchanting fairytale way; I have just being wishing to show more than just the fancy side of things as well. I’ll still be doing my enchanting day in the life posts though as I adore writing them. In fact, I’ll be posting a beach one soon!
Anyway, this post was partly inspired by those ‘Wake Up With’ videos on YouTube as well as Alisha Marie’s ‘Real Morning Routine’ video.
I hope you loves enjoy it!
As the morning sun beams begin illuminating the room, I hear a melody playing; soft at first, but then loudly. Is this the angelic fairies playing their enchanting tunes in my dreams?
Nope, it’s just my alarm blaring the Grey’s Anatomy theme song, letting me know I better get up for the long day ahead.
With a sigh I reach over for my phone, trying and failing to stop the noise, and check to see the time: 6am on the dot. Not super early, but early enough to cause me to go from mellow dreamer to an overdramatic Sharpay Evans type in .05 seconds flat.
Usually a happy morning person, today just wasn’t one of those days; it’s been awhile since those days. Letting out yet another overly dramatic sigh, I reach for my phone (now quiet) and open it to my texts.
I send out a lovely little good morning text, in the form of a darling gif, to my group chat to let them know I care.
Setting my phone back down, I sit up in bed. My soft Ariel blanket now tossed aside, I glance around the room, squinting at the sun. Wanting to establish a good morning routine and get back into my workout plan, I decided I should start doing at least one workout in the mornings as a way to get me up, ready for the day, and feeling lovely. Today is the start of that and I absolutely couldn’t wait to begin.
I’m sorry I was kidding. I was lying to myself when I said I would actually do that.
With that, I finally drag myself out of bed and into the bathroom to do all of the basics that one does in a bathroom at the crack of dawn; I end this with washing and moisturizing my face. Being that my skin has been acting problematic lately, I reach for my current holy grail product: Phoenix Facial Oil. I thought it would’ve made my face feel terribly gross, but instead it adds that extra moisture that my always dry & dull skin needs. Bonus, it makes my skin look naturally dewy to where I don’t need concealer and highlight!
Before starting on my makeup, I like to light a candle and being that I’m overly excited for fall, I’m lighting my Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin candle. It’s such a cozy scent and it puts me in a good mood.
Now every morning while I do my makeup, I enjoy putting something on to watch. Unfortunately for me this just leads to me taking longer to get ready being that I’ll stop mid-eyebrow just to pay attention to the show.
Recently my go to morning show has been Beverly Hills 90210 and if you’re wondering, I am in fact the president of the ‘I Hate Brandon Walsh Fan Club’ while also being the captain of the ‘Andrea Zuckerman is the Cutest Thing About This Show’ club. Donna Martin is a close second though.
Anyway, on to the actual makeup part.
So as many people lately, I have recently gotten into Euphoria and it’s definitely inspired me and given me new makeup ideas. I mean my everyday makeup routine usually consists of an unnatural eye look anyway (neutral eye looks have never been my thing), but binge watching Euphoria just encouraged me to take it one step further and be even more extra. So shimmery pink and dramatic glitter tears with a blushy nose at 6:30am it is!
Though I gotta say, to you beauties out there always doing the neutral looks, y’all look so cute!
As for the rest of my makeup, I’ve been trying to not irritate my skin further so I only use blush on my face, a bit of contour on my nose, and just fill in my eyebrows. I only use the tiniest bit of concealer if I feel I need it. I complete everything with winged liner and my favorite wispy falsies.
Now my hair, that’s a different story. Sometimes I like to switch it up and wear my pink lace front so I have cute dyed hair without the damage, but today I’m going simple with my regular hair extensions as I’ve got sucked into too many episodes of 90210 and I’m now behind schedule. No surprise there.
I simply put my long hair, that I paid for, up into a ponytail. With my dark brown to dark blonde ombré hair cascading down my back, I’m finally ready to get dressed.
Opening the closet, I think about which one of my style personalities wants to come out today: The overly girly, super pink side? The heavily AHS Coven inspired side? Or the laidback femme?
Shrugging, I reach for an outfit that can only be described as the femme version of Kim Possible and decide to run with it. Call me, beep me babes.
With that I also grab my new black moto jacket and a flannel (because obviously) despite the fact that the sun is currently outside screaming, “hey idiot, it’s still summer!”
The last thing I do in the mornings is make a delicious full breakfast of one pumpkin spice iced coffee.
Well I did say I was giving y’all my real morning routine. I really hope you loves enjoyed it and you liked this kind of post. Like I said above, I really want to show other parts of me as opposed to just the one sided princessy & super girly me.
