  • In this video I'm gonna take you through my morning routine plus I'll show you more

  • than thirty five amazing life hacks and DIYs that can change your life!

  • Hey loves! Today's video is one of my most requested ones so I'm super excited about

  • I'm going to show you my morning routine for days when I have a bit more time, and

  • I don't have to wake up and run out the door. I also included a bunch of DIYs and life hacks

  • that I use in the morning and that I totally think you should try too. It's like

  • the best workout, nail art, beauty, food and other life hacks mixed into the morning routine.

  • So I can't wait to share with you all of these secrets - lets just get started.

  • No matter how harsh or painful my wake up call may be, what instantly puts me in a good

  • mood in the morning, is having a motivating and uplifting quote near my bed. Seeing this

  • canvas painting reminds me that I should be thankful for another day and that I need to

  • make the most of it. To make this beautiful wall art, start by coloring the background

  • in blue. I wanted to make a nice gradientso I'm coloring the top half of the canvas

  • in light blue, while on the bottom part I am using even lighter blue shade. Blend the

  • two colors in the middle to get a smooth transition. Leave the paint to dry completely and start

  • sketching your design with a pencil. You can totally skip this step, but I am terrible

  • at free hand painting so I would mess it up for sure. When you're happy with your sketched

  • design, simply color it like you do in a coloring book. Red balloon is done, time for

  • the pink one. To make the edges neat I recommend laying your elbow on the table and to move the

  • brush slowly. You can draw any design on your motivational canvas. Just choose something

  • that makes you happy and puts you in a great mood. It could be your favorite city or your

  • petanything you love about life. All of my 6 balloons are colored and looking gorgeous.

  • In order to keep this happy bunch together we need to tie them, right? I am using a silver

  • pen to draw a string to each balloon. Drawing thin lines like these with a paint brush would

  • be way to difficult. A final touch is a big red bow, because who doesn't like bows? To

  • write a quote I am using my black permanent marker because writing with a paint brush

  • calls for a disaster. At least for me. I decided to write Adventure is out there on my painting.

  • Seeing this in the morning reminds me that every day is a treasure and I have to make

  • the most of it. OK, the world is waiting, so let's get ready and start this day!

  • If I feel like a good girl I make my bed, but this doesn't happen every day. Next I

  • head to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I got a very cool life hack to show you. This

  • one is especially handy when travelling, when you don't have a glass or a pot to put your

  • toothbrush in. You don't want to lay your toothbrush on a counter, which can be unhygienic.

  • A great solution is to use a laundry pin! Clip it on your toothbrush like this and place

  • it on the counter. Pretty smart, huh?

  • I like to workout in the morning so I quickly change into my sporty clothes and head to

  • the kitchen. Today I decided to make a mojito - without the alcohol of course.

  • I squeeze the juice of half a lime and pour it into my drinking bottle. I also like to throw in

  • a couple of lime slices.

  • We cannot miss the mint. Mint gives such a nice fresh scent and

  • taste to your drinks. Lastly add some water or sparkling water. Be careful if you're using

  • sparkling water because as you can see it, can be pretty aggressive. Got to pour it into

  • my drinking bottle and my yummy virgin mojito is all ready. I need to eat something to give

  • me energy before my workout so I made these yogurt berry popsicles the evening before.

  • They are a perfect healthy breakfast on the go and they are extremely easy to make!

  • Take some fruit - I am using raspberries and blueberries - and mush it quickly with a fork. Get your

  • popsicle molds ready and pop in a tablespoon of yogurt. I'm using the Greek version. Then,

  • grab a tablespoon of blueberries and add them on top. Make another yogurt layer. Time to

  • add the raspberries, which are one of my favorite fruits. Finish your popsicles with a spoonful

  • of yogurt. Place the lids on and pop these yummy treats into the freezer overnight. The next

  • morning, you have a delicious breakfast on the go, ready! Another plus is that they look

  • amazing on pictures. Especially in the summer I like to go out, grab my bike and eat the

  • popsicle whilst strolling in the fresh air. I have to put my hair into a pony tail when

  • working out, otherwise it just drives me crazy. But some hair elastics can be harsh, pulling

  • and breaking your hair. An amazing life hack is to make your own hair elastic from an old

  • nylon sock. Cut the top edge of the socks and you have the softest and most gentle elastic

  • that your hair will love. Finally, I'm ready to do some cycling. It feels so nice to be

  • able to go out now when it's warmer. In the winter I always do my workout in the living

  • room because it's freezing outside. After my cardio, I like to stop and do some strength

  • training. If you want your strength exercises to be more effective, grab some weights. You

  • can easily make them yourself. Fill two bottles with sand or water and you have a new pair

  • of weights in no time! Now your squats will be even more effective. Another squat tip

  • is to slightly point your toes out. This way you are also training your inner thighs. Keeping

  • hydrated during the day is super important whether you are working out or not. Let me

  • tell you - this lime mint drink is so delicious, you need to try it! When I feel like I've

  • done enough of sports for the day I cycle back home. I don't work out every single day,

  • but lately I've been trying to do it at least 2 times per week.

  • Before taking a shower I apply a thick layer of vaseline on my face. My skin gets red quickly

  • and hot showers aggravate the condition. Applying vaseline before shower locks in the moisture

  • and prevents your skin from getting dry and irritated. This hack has totally saved my

  • skin and I really recommend you trying it out! By the way, how cool is this popsicle

  • shower sponge?! While I'm washing my hair let me share the most important hair

  • hacks. Apply your shampoo only on your scalp, because this is where the hair gets oily and

  • needs a proper cleanse. From your ears down apply the conditioner to hydrate the your hair.

  • Rinse with a bit colder water to diminish frizz and to make your hair look shiny and

  • pretty! I like to wash my face the last thing in the shower still using colder water to

  • prevent irritation. An oil based face wash works best for my sensitive skin.

  • When it comes to drying your hair try to use a cotton t-shirt instead of a towel

  • It works wonders in diminishing the frizz. Most of the days I let my hair dry naturally. But,

  • when using the hair dryer always put it on the cold air setting. A great tip for getting

  • more volume is to flip your head upside down when blow-drying. This gives you so much volume,

  • it's crazy! Normally I have the part on my right side and my hair looks quite flat that

  • way. For the days when I want extra volume I make my part on the left and boomtons

  • of volume. Sometimes I like to pin my hair to keep it off my face, but I don't have any

  • pretty pins. No problem because here is a super easy DIY that will make all your bobby

  • pins look amazing! All you need are some plain hair pins and nail polish. You know how pretty

  • bobby pins are so much more expensive than the plain ones. Now you can buy them for cheap

  • and then customize them to your liking. If you want to make dotted bobby pins simply

  • dip a toothpick or dotting tool into the polish and make dots all along the pin. Now tell

  • me if this is the best DIY you've ever seen. So useful and done in seconds!

  • I got kind of obsessed and made a bunch of these. Try using metallic and glitter polish

  • tooyour bobby pins will look amaze-balls!

  • OK, hair is done and I love it.

  • Time to sort out my nails. I don't paint them every morning but I like to do it once every

  • week or so. After applying a base coat, I'm painting my middle finger and pinky with a

  • minty blue polish. On the pointer and thumb I'm going for corally pink. To make a glittery

  • statement nail apply two coats of metallic gold on the ring finger. Today I am going

  • for colorful leopard print inspired nails, and I'm gonna share with you some of my top

  • nail art hacks along the way. Instead of applying chunky glitter polish with a brush, try doing

  • it with a sponge! You would need a lot of coats using a polish brush if you'd want to

  • get this glitter opacity, while with a sponge you get it right away. For the leopard design

  • start by wiping the brush of your white polish really well. Make a few white patches allover

  • the middle finger nail like this. A great hack is to apply white before layering different

  • polish colors. Every color looks much more vibrant with white underneath. I actually

  • want my patches to be corally pink, so we're going to apply it on top of white. Take a

  • toothpick and snip away the pointy tip. Dip it into darker blue polish and there you have

  • a DIY dotting tool. Make small dots close together around the pink patches. Don't go

  • all around but rather make little brackets and c shapes like this. I like leopard nails

  • because you literally can't mess it up. The shapes have to be all a bit different and

  • imperfect. In the end make some dots to fill up the empty spaces. I decided to leave my

  • pointer and pinky in one solid color and only added a blue dot like this. On the thumb I

  • am doing the same leopard design as on my middle finger, only switching up the colors.

  • See how vibrant this blue is on top of white?! I Love it! Dip your toothpick in dark blue

  • and use the dotting motion to draw some brackets and some c shapes around the light blue patches.

  • Make a few dots here and there to fill up the empty spaces. Finish your manicure with

  • a clear top coat to seal the designs and add some shine. How beautiful are these nails

  • right? I like how easy these were to make plus no special tools were needed except for

  • the toothpick. Even if you never tried nail art before, you gotta give this one a go.

  • I love painting my nails but I hate waiting for my nail polish to dry. A great hack to

  • make the polish dry faster is to dip your fingers in the ice cold water. That's it my

  • nails are all done looking rather epic, so it's time to move on to makeup!

  • Before starting with makeup I like to exfoliate and prep my lips. I made this pretty lip scrub

  • myself. Here's how. I'm making a rainbow scrub so I need 4 containers. Put one tablespoon

  • of sugar in each container. Add half a teaspoon of olive oil. Optionally you can put in a

  • few drops of flavoring and scent – I went for strawberry and peppermint. Lastly add

  • some food coloring into each container – I chose green, yellow, blue and red. Mix well

  • until all the ingredients are nicely combined. Pour the scrub mixtures into a little jar

  • or any other container of your choice. In goes my green scrub, followed by the blue layer

  • Here comes yellow scrub and lastly the red one.

  • How pretty it looks with all

  • the colored layers! This could make for a gorgeous gift as well, but I'm keeping it

  • for myself. I like to rub it on my lips to exfoliate them. Wipe the scrub away or simply

  • eat it because this is completely edible. I'm applying on a bit of lip balm and my lips

  • are all prepped. For my face I like using the cushion foundations, which are becoming

  • very popular lately. They give such a natural and glowy finish to my skin. I don't want

  • no dark circles so I'm applying concealer on the inner corners of my eyes. To define

  • those eyes I like to swipe some brown shadow on the crease using a fluffy blending brush.

  • On the lid I'm first applying some white base using my finger. This makes your lid shadow

  • pop much more giving you brighter and more awake look. On top of the white base I'm popping

  • light pink-ish eyeshadow using the sponge applicator that came with the palette. Smudging

  • some black shadow on the top lash-line makes the lashes look fuller while keeping that

  • natural look. Before curling the lashes, warm your eyelash curler using a blow-dryer. The

  • logic is the same as with the hot tools that we use for styling our hair. The lash curl

  • will be more pronounced and will last much longer. If your mascara is a bit old and the

  • brush is getting clumpy, don't stress out! Place the brush under the warm running

  • water for 10 seconds and the brush will be as clean as new. If the mascara itself has

  • dried out you can dip it into a glass filled with warm water and wait for 10 seconds. The

  • heat will soften up the product and you'll get many more use of your favorite mascara.

  • You can see how much I love this pinky blush – I am almost out of it! For the lips I

  • chose this pretty corally pink lipstick. A cool hack, which makes your lips appear fuller

  • is using some light shadow, concealer or powder on the center of your lips. Another way to

  • fuller looking lips is making your own plumping lip gloss. Just drip a few drops of peppermint

  • oil into your lip gloss and shake it well. Apply it on, and boomlips look plumpier

  • and prettier. Alright, my makeup is all done and I can finally head to the kitchen to make

  • myself a real tasty breakfast.

  • I like eating fruit in the morning so I'm first gonna make myself a fruit salad. Recently
