Blogmas Day 4: Winter Morning Routine I Want to Have

My mornings usually consist of me staying in bed until I need to get up, change, let the dogs out and then head out the door.

I want to have a slower, more productive morning so I sat down and made myself a short list of things I want to do when I wake up in the mornings.

Drink water

Typically the first thing I drink is coffee, but I really want to start drinking a glass of water when I first wake up.

Ice my face

I used to do this often before going to work and it would always make me feel refreshed.

Quick 5 minute workout

I’ve recently started jumping up and down. I want to try to pair 50 of those with a short leg, arm or ab workout.

Journal

Journaling out my feelings help, and I do not do it enough. I’ve been wanting to try to start doing morning pages where you wake up and write 3 pages in your journal. I don’t know if I want to do 3 pages, but at least 1 big page.

Review goals for the day

I love doing this before I start my day! It helps me get more things done quicker instead of doing it all right before bed.


These are 5 things I want to start doing in the morning time before I start my day.

What’s part of your morning routine?

Blogmas Day 3: Christmas Books TBR

During this festive time of year, I mostly just want to read Christmas books! I have been in such a mood for it here lately. I have already read several, but there are plenty more I want to read that are mostly on kindle unlimited.

⭐️ Christmas books I Have Read ⭐️

Hot Chocolate & Hitmen — Persephone Steele

This was a spicy book containing 3 men & 1 woman. It was well-written in my opinion. I rated it 4 ⭐️.

Christmas at Fox Ridge — Bailey Hannah

I thought this was so cute! It was definitely a hallmark-like book. Perfect for this time of year. I rated it 4 ⭐️.

Vixen’s Guide to Christmas — Chelle Sloan

Another hallmark-like book, but I rated this one 5 ⭐️. It was written so well!

Holiday Hideaway — Mary Kay Andrews

The Naughty List — Jade West

As I was scrolling through KU books, I seen this one and couldn’t resist.

25 Days — Per Jacobsen

This is one of those advent books where you read a chapter a day. I have started this as of December 1st! I’m loving it so far. I first found out about these kind of books through tik tok during October.

King of Christmas — J. E. Rowney

The Christmas Tree Farm — Laurie Gilmore

I know I probably won’t get through all these Christmas books, but I am going to try my best!! They all caught my interest as I was scrolling through what kindle unlimited books there were available to read.
