Morning Routine Toolkit

Mornings can be brutal—but these 10 things will get you excited to jump out of bed.

Bonjour, everyone. It’s our last day in Paris, and I can’t wait to share everything we saw / did / ate during our short trip. I’ve decided that Paris is my favorite city—there’s a beauty and energy here that’s unlike anywhere else, and I always leave feeling incredibly inspired.

It’s technically still the new year, so it feels like a good time to talk about morning routines. This is a topic I bring up a lot because I’m completely devoted to my own. Let’s just say that if I don’t have time to engage in my AM ritual, my husband and kids know to steer clear that day. I hear from a lot of readers that they want to establish better morning routines / force themselves to wake up earlier, but when you find the right morning routine for you, it’ll start to feel like a gift to yourself that you won’t want to miss.
