Get ready with me...
As someone who sees YouTube as a purely "watch this when you're too tired to comprehend words" pastime, it's hardly surprising that I'm going to take a YT tag and make it with still photos (not entiiirely true, there is a gif included) rather than sick a camera in my face and start haphazardly filming. Regardless, consider this bandwagon limply touched jumped on.
6.30 am - alarm rings.
6.31 am - alarm snoozed.
6.40 am - wake up.
6.45 am - shower. Current favourite shower gels in rotation are Soap and Glory's 'Sugar Crush', Lush's 'Hot Toddy' (i.e. I still have some left over from Christmas) and Rituals' 'Yogi Flow.
7.00 am - time to cleanse. I never use soap on my face as I find it far too drying for my skin, instead preferring to use a cleansing face wash. Right now I'm favouring Neal's Yard's 'Orange Flower Facial Wash'.
7.02 am - brush teeth. But do you really need to see a photo of my toothbrush?
7.06 am - first things first. I'm a serum lover, I'll admit it. I recently received Antipodes' 'Hosanna Intensive Hydrating Serum' from the Nutrition Centre, and it's doing a damn good job. It took a while to really see any change, but give it a week or two and you'll notice your skin looks brighter and continued use is really helping to make it look like I get eight hours sleep a night.
7.08 am - moisturise. If I love serum, then moisturisers take things to a whole new level. I start with the Body Shop's 'Vitamin E Eye Cream' and 'Vitamin E Intensive Moisture Cream', and then dab Elizabeth's Arden's 'Eight Hour Cream*' onto problem areas (for me, my nose and persistent spots).
*This isn't a cream, it's a gel. One of life's many, many lies.
7.15 am - potter. If there's one thing I've noticed all twenty-somethings enjoy doing, it's aimlessly pottering. It's the BEST. Extra points if you can turn it into a brew break.
7.25 am - make some bad life choices. Run through enough outfit changes to make Katy Perry bow down.
7.35 am - make it up (literally). I'm as far from a beauty expert as you'll ever get, but I seem to get by with my on point eyeliner flicks.
7.50 am - add a leather jacket, grab your season ticket and get to the train station.
loved this post!

Haha I loved seeing a YouTube video in still photos - I may steal your idea at some point! xx
ReplyDeleteI love that you've ventured into YouTube without actually making a video ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes you go girl with that early alarm. The best part about my weekend is not setting an alarm (No. 1 on the list of lame adult things to say) Sophie x
I admire you for getting up so early.. the struggle is so real for me with a 7:30 alarm!!
ReplyDeleteI just can't get into YouTube- I am the worst blogger ever haha! Looking lovely here, your eyeliner always makes me envious!

Not every person interacts with YouTube media in the same way, and experimenting with still photos or gifs can offer a different angle on trends. For students critiquing media or creating digital content, sites like Nursing Assignment Writing Help offer assistance in thinking through insights and constructing observations using something other than video.
