How to build a feel-good morning routine that you'll actually love

Say "buh-bye" to stressful mornings and "GM!" to a routine that makes you feel fab from the moment you wake up. 

Whether you love cozy breakfasts, quick stretches or powering up with affirmations, we’ll show you how to create the perfect routine to set the tone for a fantastic day ahead.

1. Create your vibey space


@mybohodecor

Turn your mornings into a vibe you just can't resist—and getting out of bed gets way easier. Picture snuggly blankets, twinkling fairy lights, adorable candles and all your fave aesthetic touches. It's your moment to create a space that's 100% *you* and makes every morning brighter.

2. Move your body, your way


@thenikkirossi

Find your fave way to move and make it fun. Whether it's a quick dance party, yoga with your go-to playlist or a morning stretch sesh, moving your body your way is the perfect boost to start your day feeling strong and energized.

3. Hydrate like a queen

Kickstart your day by hydrating like the queen you are. A cute water bottle by your bed or a refreshing fruit-infused drink is the ultimate glow-up hack for feeling amazing all morning long (and beyond!).

4. Fuel up with a yummy breakfast


@foodieost

Start your day with a breakfast you're obsessed with. From avo toast to a colorful smoothie bowl, treating yourself to something yummy is the gift that keeps on giving. Because let's be real: Good vibes start with good food.

5. Set your intentions and do some affirmations


@valeriecher_

Start your day with main character energy by setting your intentions and affirmations. An inspiring mantra or jotting down your goals gives you that grounded, positive vibe to handle anything that comes your way. It's all about creating a mindset that makes every day feel like your day.

6. Pamper your skin


@activecactus

Glow up your a.m. with a dash of self-care magic. A refreshing cleanser, a hydrating moisturizer and—on the days when you have a bit of extra time—a speedy homemade face mask go a long way in making you feel fresh and ready to take on the world.
