- Good morning, everyone.

Today, I'll be showing you

what my morning routine is like these days.

I've partnered with Simple Skincare again

to show you how I make up for my makeup every day,

in this episode.

I'm always super hungry when I wake up,

so the first thing I got to do is eat.

My favorite breakfast, hands down, is beans on toast,

but not your normal baked beans.

These are the Heinz baked beans from England,

so they're more tomatoey and savory,

and they're amazing with hot sauce, yes!

Then I'll make myself a little espresso for a pick-me-up

and then take a moment to collect myself

before the day begins.

Obviously, I can't forget about my little Cheeki.

Ben walks her in the morning for her to do her business,

and then I'll give her breakfast.

Okay.

Now it's time to brush the teeth.

I love my electric toothbrush,

because it forces me to brush for the entire two minutes

and keeps my teeth clean and fresh.

For my face wash,

I'm using Simple's Moisturizing Facial Wash.

I really love this cleanser,

because there's no harsh chemicals in it,

and it doesn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry.

Then I'll go in with Simple's Protecting Light Moisturizer.

This has SPF 15, and I apply this all over my face

to hydrate my skin and protect my face from the sun.

All right, so now it's time to hit the gym.

So late last year, I really started

to take my health game pretty seriously,

and I wanted to show you my workout routine.

I always start off with 20 minutes of cardio.

This can be anything.

I used to do the treadmill,

but now I'm getting old and my knees are bad,

so I do the StairMaster or the elliptical.

After cardio, I'll do 20 minutes of strength training.

And this is where you're really melting

and burning everything off.

And these are a few exercises I'll do in three circuits.

(gentle music)

I don't like leaving any sweat on my skin for too long,

so that's why I use Simple's Cleansing Facial Wipes

to leave my skin feeling instantly refreshed

after a tough workout.

(gentle music)

Now that my training is done, and I'm showered,

I'm gonna show you guys a really quick

and natural makeup look that I like

to rock on just like an everyday occasion.

For my foundation,

I'm using Clinique's Beyond Perfecting Foundation.

I just like to concentrate this under my eyes

and any areas I have discoloration.

To prevent everything from moving around,

I'll seal it with Pony's Blurring Powder.

I just started trying this out a few weeks ago,

and I love it.

It's such a fine powder and blurs out any of my pores.

For my brows, I'm using Dior's Brow Styler,

and I'm just gonna quickly shape them into how I'd like.

Naturally, I just like to go for something

that's a little bit more straight.

To slim down the face, I'm grabbing Benefit's Hoola Lite

in this awesome cheek palette.

I'm gonna make my cheekbones really pop

and bronze the temples on my face to warm it up.

I'm gonna add a flush back to my face with NARS' Orgasm.

This is a beautiful coral shade that I love applying,

especially in the warmer months.

For highlighter, I'm using my recent favorite.

I'm gonna apply this all over my cheekbones

and the usual areas to give my skin a nice dewy look.

I'm also just gonna dab some

on my eyelids for a light shimmer.

Moving on to the lips, I'm using this color by Hourglass.

And this is just a better version of my lip color,

so I'm just gonna splash that on.

Now to do something about this hair.

I'm gonna show you how I do my braids.

This is pretty much the only braid I know how to do,

and I'll show you guys again (chuckles).

First, you grab two pieces of hair,

twist it and then grab a little bit of hair

on each side and then twist.

You keep doing that all the way down

until the base of your neck and then switch off

to a three-strand braid, easy.

This is such a fast way to deal with wet hair

if you're too lazy to blow dry or style it.

This is a really fresh and quick look

that's great for every day,

for school, for work, anything really.

All right, guys, this is the finished look,

and I hope you guys enjoyed my morning routine

and just getting ready with me.

I am so happy to be working with Simple Skincare again,

because they really allow me to make up for all the makeup

that I use on a day-to-day basis.

I just feel confident, because my skin looks

and feels really healthy.

If you still have not tried Simple Skincare out

for yourself, I highly recommend that you do.
