Vanessa: Hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.

Even if you are working from home, or watching your kids from home, or not leaving the house

much in general, you still have a morning routine.

A great way to remember new English phrases is to use them in your daily life, so today

I'd like to invite you to join me on my morning routine as I talk about phrasal verbs that

you can use in the morning during your routine as you get ready for the day.

Every morning I wake up to my alarm clock, or I wake up to my baby.

I try not to doze off again and push snooze but sometimes I do.

Finally I turn off my alarm clock and roll out of bed.

Notice the pronunciation of this phrasal verb to roll out of bed.

I didn't say I roll out of bed, I said I roll out of bed.

The T here is going to change to a D sound, and this means that you are not so enthusiastic

about waking up, you just roll out of bed.

You could also say I get out of bed, that's a more neutral phrasal verb, but if you want

to let people know you are really tired when you woke up this morning you might say, oh,

when my alarm clock went off I just rolled out of bed, walked to the car and went to

You are kind of like a zombie this morning, you just rolled out a bed.

Next I go into the bathroom and wash off my face.

Wash off does not mean that I am completely erasing my face.

You can just say wash my face, but we can also use this phrasal verb wash off my face

if you feel like you have some kind of dirt or grime that's kind of thick on your face.

Maybe after you were sleeping there's some, we call this sleep, that kind of crusty stuff

in your eyes, you might want to wash the sleep out of your eyes.

So we are washing it out, wash the sleep out of my eyes or wash off my face.

Usually I just put on some makeup under my eyes to mask how tired I really am and I will

Sometimes I put on my glasses for the day and sometimes I choose to put in my contacts.

Now we're saying put on my glasses because they're going on my face, but I'm putting

in my contacts because they're going effectively in my eyeball, they're going in my eyes.

So I put in my contacts and I put on my glasses.

After I've washed off my face, put on some makeup, put in my contacts or put on my glasses,

We could say simply brush out my hair and that means you're getting the knots out of

your hair, or it could mean that you're taking your hair out of some kind of thing.

For me, this is a braid, so I'm taking my hair out of the braid and I'm brushing out

It's kind of like erasing the knots from my hair, I'm brushing out the knots from my hair

Usually I do this on days that I record videos, on other days my hair is just a wild mess,

but because I am recording a video today you get to see behind the scenes, taking my hair

out of braids, it is a simple and easy way to have a wavy hair.

And I think it's a lot of fun, you get to have braids, you get to have wavy hair, and

I don't know about you but I hardly ever have my hair down.

This is what it's called when your hair is not tied back.

This is a hair tie, there are a lot of regional words for what to call this thing.

I call it a hair tie, but because I'm a mother, I have two young children, I'm always looking

down or helping or playing and working in the garden, I'm always doing a lot of things,

So that means that I need to use a hair tie and I need to tie back my hair.

We can use two different phrasal verbs for this.

We can say tie back or tie up, and you can kind of get the image here.

I'm tying it back or I'm tying it up, and it means the same thing.

It's a little bit strange, it's called a pony tail.

A pony is a small horse but you can get the image of a tail of a horse kind of looks like

So I'm making a ponytail in the back of my hair.

What if I had two of these and I wanted to tie up my hair like this?

Ooh, do you know what these are called when you have two hair ties?

Well It is not a pony tail because ponies don't have two tails.

Instead these are called pigtails Pigs don't have two tails but I guess this is just referring

to how a tail of a pig is kind of curly, maybe originally pigtails were kind of curly.

I'm not exactly sure but these are pigtails.

Sometimes I wear pigtails, sometimes I don't but they kind of get in the way when I'm trying

to do things so usually I use that first expression, I tie back my hair or I use a clip, and we

So here you can see I'm pulling back my hair and putting it up in this clip.

So here we used similar ideas but with two different verbs, to tie up, to tie back, to

pull up, and to pull back, it just depends on what kind of device you're using, a clip

They're kind of interchangeable too, you can pull back your hair with a hair tie, no one's

going to figuratively split hairs over this.

This means get upset about small little differences, nobody's going to get upset about these small

differences, so you can use them interchangeably.

Next, very important, I've got my toothbrush and I need to put on the toothpaste and simply

After spitting out the toothpaste I need to put back my toothbrush into the little toothbrush

Now that I'm ready from the shoulders up I need to get dressed.

Specifically I need to pick out my clothes.

I think I'm going to wear this dress today, it's a lovely summer day, so I picked this

I do have a closet where I could put clothes, but for some reason I just like to have this

little bar here to put my most used clothes on.

I find myself more likely to hang them up and to take care of them if it's really close

to my bed where I get changed and I change my clothes before I go to bed, it's easy for
