The early bird catches the worm and all and what better way to start your day than with sunlight streaming in and bright blue skies. The key to boosting productivity and getting the most out of your days is being proactive from the moment you wake up in the morning, you won't get things done lazing around.

Pull back the curtains and open the windows
Nothing like bright blue skies and fresh air to kick start your day, so vanish the darkness from your slumber and let the morning glow flood in.

Make the bed
I know it can be a daunting task, but this simple routine will make you and your room look so much better when you arrive home later in the day. Always get this done, before leaving the room to get ready, well unless you have a sleeping toddler and cat inside it, but should be done before leaving the home. Nothing quite like jumping into fresh spread bed after a long day.

Brew time
I am a big time coffee lover and what better way, to get the day going than with a hot cup of Joe to start your morning, so before jumping in the shower fire up that bad boy coffee machine, so by the time you are out you are good to go. But whilst that's heating up it is important to keep hydrated so down a glass of water, water fires up your metabolism and helps flush out toxins.

Eat brekkie
We all know the importance of breakfast, so why should we skip it just because we are in a hurry, which can leave to bad choices which can lead you to eating junk. A great way to make sure you get breakfast is to prep it the night before, one of these tasty breakfast pops can be made in advance, just pop one out of the freezer and off you go. A bit more time in the house, from waking up earlier, then why not have avocado on toast, sprinkled with some chia seeds, all great sources of energy and will keep you filled, well until elevenses at least.

Tidy up
Nothing like coming home to a clean home, a clean tidy home is a happy home. So washing up and putting it away, to setting the laundry in the washing machine, so it is all ready to whizz up when you get in later, saves you time from doing it when you get home later, making you and your home more stress-free.

Doing these 5 things each morning, will leave leave you in a state of Joie de verve.

Do you have a morning routine?

Sometimes, all you need is a few bedside essentials within reach or neatly tucked away in your drawer.

Be it in the middle of the night, to when you wake up and before you lay your head down of a night, there is always a few things you need to help you relax, be it a book, a few potions and lotions, to your glasses. After all, we know the importance of being relaxed of a night, to feeling refreshed in the morning to a little pick me up on a lazy afternoon with a much-needed siesta! Know matter what time you are in bed a few carefully lined up bedside essentials all neatly information are all you need to help relax and feel comfortable, so there is no need for you to get up out of bed, as all you need is a roll away.


Lamp, the perfect mood relaxer before going bed to bed, it is great for reading to helping you find fish something our of the drawer, to even navigating your way around in the middle of the night. Plus it is a great way to add a touch of style to your bedside table.

Hand cream, a must bedside essential, it is perfect for keeping your hands silky soft and hydrated throughout the whole night to first thing in the morning and I am a sucker for hand creams and I am currently loving this one by Bliss, it smells absolutely heaven thanks to the macadamia oil and grasped extract.

A good smelling candle such as this one from BlinkBrow, Indian Rose is all you need to help relax soothe your soul, bringing you to a tranquil state of zen whilst you prep for a blissful night's sleep to a busy working day in the morning.

Submerge yourself in your favourite book or magazine, whatever you choose it is the perfect way to unclog your mind of the day's activities all whilst getting lost in a thriller, fiction or magazine to find something to inspire your wardrobe or home.

We all need something to hold our most worn jewellery, so purchasing a little dish to hold your most treasured and worn jewellery is a must. So once ready for bed or in the morning, all your jewellery you have taken off, is easily accessible and all in one place.

Water, keeping hydrated throughout the day and night is a must, especially in this heatwave we are currently having, (I am not complaining) waking up at night with a dry mouth is not cute, so why not invest in a refillable water bottle to keep you hydrated from AM to PM.


Are there some bedside essentials that you need to have at hand? Anything that I am missing?
