The soft sound of ‘happiness is a butterfly’ drifts from my phone, gently pulling me out of my slumber. With a light stretch, i reach over to turn it off and see that it’s 5am. Wish to snuggle down into my fluffy pink blanket, I instead pull back the blanket and get out of bed.
One of my 2023 goals was to get back to get back on my pink pilates princess routine as that’s when I feel my best. So lately I’ve been waking at 5am and today is no different.
Leaving the warmth of my bedroom, i make my way to the bathroom. Hearing a tiny meow on my way, I stop to bend down and pet my adorable little cat. While in the bathroom I do the usual morning things like brushing my teeth and washing my face, however I don’t do my full skincare routine yet as I will being doing my pilates routine first. Tying my butterfly layered hair into a claw clip, I change into my workout clothing and leave the bathroom to go full my water bottle.
Grabbing my baby pink yoga mat as well as my ankle & wrist weights, I am now ready for my pilates routine.
For my routine I like to first start out with a stretching video to warm up my body and prepare it for my workout. Following my warm up, I then go into my hour long pilates session before finishing off my workout with a twenty minute hiit session and then a cooldown stretch.
I’m always left feeling so positive and rejuvenated after every pilates session. Almost as if a fog has been lifted from my head.
Once i’m finished my workout, I hop in the shower allowing the hot water to sooth my muscles. The shower after a pilates session always feels amazing. After getting dressed for the day, I brew myself either a tea or coffee depending what i’m in the mood for that morning and i finish off my skincare routine. Lately i’ve been really focused on moisturizing my face and have found a few new favorite products.

With my workout routine finished and my skincare done, I make myself a healthy vegan breakfast smoothie and drink it while I work from home. After all of my important tasks are out of the way, I then start editing some of the content i’ve been creating lately.
My fluffy cat in my lap, today I am editing a few affirmation videos as well as blog graphics at my dreamy pink desk. I’ve really been enjoying making them as they’ve been helping me stay in a positive mindset!
A few hours later, I step away from working on my computer and ipad for a break. During my break I usually like to go on a walk and take in the scenery of the nature. Unfortunately being that it is winter and it’s freezing outside, I instead choose growwithjo step video. That way i still feel like i’m getting a walk in to get my step goal. It does after all get a bit tedious sitting at a desk most of the day.
Finishing the steps video, I make a slightly later lunch of a fresh grilled chicken salad with a small amount of my favorite light dressing. Refilling my water bottle, i sit at the wooden dining table and eat my delicious lunch. While eating I sometimes like to continue my reading.
Opening up my kindle app, I click open my current read. ‘The Revenge Plot’ by Sienna Waters is her newest sapphic romance novel to drop this month. Those are my absolute favorite type of book and i’m forever only reading those kind.
When i’m finished with my lunch and reading, I put on a show for background noise as I finish up more work. Lately I’ve been back on my degrassi binge so as I work I can hear Clare dramatically going off on Eli at The Dot in the background.

Finally finishing up the work I had to do for the day, I then begins any cleaning that must be done around the house. Lighting a sandalwood incense stick to cleanse out the energy after cleaning, I then decide on dinner as well as feed my cat his dinner.
With him meowing loudly for dinner despite getting treats and having a massive bowl of dry food all day, he finally quiets down to eat. Though I know the second I sit down with my own dinner he will be meowing and begging because he believes he should have at least three dinners per day. Cats are cute fuzzy drama queens.
Deciding on mushroom and spinach raviolis for dinner, I begin making it. When it is finished, I also pour myself a glass of my favorite moscato and set the table to eat.
Just like I predicted, my cat is there meowing and trying to be as cute as possible so he can try to get more food out of me.

Finishing up with dinner and the dishes, I now have free time for the rest of the night. This time is usually spent talking with my friends to have a vent/tea session or catching up on a show I may have missed. This is also usually the time when I tend to eat my nightly gummy.
Before it kicks in, I start my nighttime skincare routine which is a little bit longer than my daytime one as I sometimes like to do a peel or sheet mask.
Taking the sheet mask off my face after the fifteen minutes and gently patting the rest into my face, I then use my rose quartz roller before getting dressed for bed.
Applying my lip oil and grabbing my favorite pair of headphones, I take myself back to bed to listen to 8d music until the gummy causes me to sleep.
A day in the life of a pink pilates princess is complete.
