Hi friends, it's annika welcome back to my channel and welcome to today's video today's video is going to be my 6 a.m super Ultra productive morning routine and I filmed this last week and then lost all the footage. So here we are a week later I'm refilming it. I am going to show you guys In detail how my morning is kind of structured when I do wake up at 6 a.m But I don't get up that early every single day I only do it about three to four times a week And if I just know that I need a head start on my day Then this is basically the routine that I do. It's very to the point. It's very structured for me So i'm going to show you everything that works for me how I kickstart my morning how I stay motivated throughout my morning and organized It is actually the night before right now. It is currently 9 30 and i'm just gonna set my alarms for the morning Yes I am one of those girls that has to set like 10 alarms for me to wake up I'll probably be up for like another hour hour and a half and that gives me like enough sleep to get up at six I do start with a morning workout. So that'll be the first thing we do tomorrow. I will see you all in the morning I'm using this super cute little tulip mug if you didn't hear about the tragedy the strawberry mug that I always use Broke i'm patiently waiting for their restock on it until then at least I have this one. It has baby tulips on it It's so cute. It's 6 20 right now In case anyone's wondering why i'm covering my screen. It's because renee is my wallpaper, but it's like a selfie I'm, pretty sure he's gonna be embarrassed if I show it to like the whole internet usually what i'll do make my lemon water come in here and just like Try and power on my brain basically give myself like five minutes and something that helps me a lot because i'm Not A morning person i've started to get smarter about it and I will lay out things Um the night before like I laid out my supplements last night that i'm gonna drink this morning and I lay out my clothing Like pre-picked for workout. I just come in here It's already just sitting waiting for me if I can like lessen the amount of decisions I have to make in the morning It's super helpful for me So I drink some lemon water some warm lemon water And some regular water throughout my morning when i'm getting ready Now, let's get dressed The only skincare I do in the mornings is Some sunscreen and then when I get home after I will do like my whole routine This is today's outfit I have on A matching honor active. I think this is like the taupe sports bra and shorts They say making your bed is the first victory of your day. So When you can make this bed So you guys saw last night I laid out My supplements for myself, which is so helpful. It's 6 35. I feel pretty good It's just that like I take a while to wake up in the morning So now i'm gonna make my pre-workout and it is so early to drink pre-workout honestly But that's why like as soon as I wake up I start chugging water because this Is not the first thing I want to drink and I use this pre it's from bpn Just use like three fourths of the scoop. I used to have so much trouble wrapping my head around the thought of like doing A weights workout like this early in the morning I just thought it was like too hard and like i've tried the super relaxing things like Meditating or journaling or reading like right when I wake up. I just don't feel like i'm that kind of person like I really need like a Super crazy kickstart to my morning to get me up because I will just go back to sleep I just think that like working out personally is The best way to get me like up and going otherwise I'm, just like dragging my feet throughout the day just making my bcaa's And so I feel like you just need to like do a lot of trial and error if you're having trouble like getting up So early everyone's body and mind are different and it took me so many different morning routines honestly to find one that worked and that's why I wanted to make this video because It has updated so much since I made my last morning routine Okay Now is the part of my morning where I feel like I get to enjoy my like 10 minutes of peace before I have to Leave it's 6 50 and I know that like by 7 I want to be heading out the door So I just sit here and drink my pre-workout and i'm super strict with myself Recently about not getting on social media at least the first half hour Ideally the first hour of my day like it's just so much better for me To not wake up scrolling. So while i'm here i'll just like check my workout for the day So I know what I need to pack in my gym bag. It's not my favorite day of the week Because leg day is the worst day. I did this workout last week and it burned my quads So I will have this in the description if you want to try it Okay, now I will usually pack my gym bag And see what I need. But today's workout was pretty simple. So I think all i'm going to take is my resistance bands All done Okay, I just took like the fastest five minute shower This is where the morning routine gets a little bit crazy I kind of just rushed like as fast as I can To go sit down and trade. I would like to sit down earlier But I feel like i'm honestly still working my way up to that I would have to get up at like 5 30 to be able to make it back Okay If I want to feel put together, this is like the basic outline of the outfit i'll put on I will do jeans with Some sort of button up. I think today i'm gonna go classic and just go this blue Button up because it's similar to what I wore the first time I filmed this And this is just like such a go-to for me Like if I really am rushing And I want to feel put together a button-up jeans and either like some ballet flats or sneakers is what i'll go for Okay guys ignore the hair and face I just like to get like dressed outfit wise first But i'm drinking a little protein shake just as like my refuel Um, and then i'm gonna make breakfast in a little bit.

I feel like i've been doing it for like most of summer And yeah, it's really been working and I like it a lot My current makeup routine is basically just all cream Or liquid products and just a bit of setting powder I've also like to bring the blush like up my temples I feel like it keeps the color going like Throughout my entire face.

I was using a dapoline Which always makes my skin freak the f*** out This huda beauty setting powder It does absolute wonders for blurring my skin like i'm obsessed with it This lip liner from l'oreal it's like this pinky nude color, I think it's called au naturel It's like six dollars and it's beautiful. Like it's literally Taken the place of like my sephora lip liners Okay, it's time to make some breakfast And i'm going to obviously use my caraway pans when I first filmed this video I made potato and egg tacos, but that obviously got deleted and today i'm gonna make something kind of similar but also different Um, also I feel like potato and egg is so self-explanatory, you know, i'm gonna make My famous breakfast sandwich and I did name it that myself But I used to make it all the time during the pandemic and I haven't made it in so long craving it So i'm just gonna show you what I put in it. I chopped up some yellow potatoes And i'm just gonna cook it over high heat until they're like soft and then i'm gonna scramble some eggs And then we will assemble the sandwich and i'm going to show you what I put on it Okay, so the way I assemble this guys is I do A slice of cheese. All I have right now is pepper jack and then i'll put some of the potato and egg scramble On top I do egg whites Because I hate egg and all I can manage to eat is egg whites. Do you know how hard it is? To try and eat breakfast when you hate egg Okay, and then on this bread i'll do some of this avocado That I mashed up and i'll just spread it on you could eat this separate too. Honestly I don't have very much but some crushed red pepper on the avocado Just a little bit to finish it I do cholula on the potato and egg just a few drizzles add some sauciness to it And it's so good. It's so good Guys, if you're a savory breakfast person like I am this is literally heaven. It's so good It's not the prettiest, you know, i'm not gonna lie.
