So now that it's the new year, I thought it'd be a good idea to do a post on my morning routine, but on a work day. I see loads of famous YouTubers and bloggers do post on their morning routines and I love watching them, but I don't feel as though it represents a normal working day of someone who works in an office 9-5, so I thought I'd show you mine!

Normally on a work day I'd set my first alarm for 7.00 am and then set an alarm every 15 minutes after that until I am due to leave the house (8.45 am). I find that this works for me because I find it extremely difficult to get up for work in the morning so having an alarm every 15 minutes prompts me to get out of bed and get on with things.

I usually spend from 7.00 am - 730 am in darkness browsing through my Facebook and twitter and reading blogposts in the mornings (and playing candy crush - I'm so obsessed!) Then I put on my light and tie up my hair and make an effort to get myself out of bed and ready for the day.

Before I have breakfast I like to put my dressing gown on and go to the bathroom to wash my face, cleanse and moisturise and do my teeth. I usually shower the night before so I don't have to worry about wasting time in the mornings. I then go and put on the TV and make my breakfast. I either make wholemeal marmalade toast or have cereal and a glass of orange juice or water and a cup of tea to start the day!
