onto today’s topic: getting ready every morning 💄 

i get ready every morning, even if i’m staying home the entire day.

it feels like a more defined start to my day rather than everything muddling together. i’m presenting a different state rather than feeling like i rolled out of bed, which enables the feeling that i can just roll right back in for a nap or doomscrolling session. 📱 

i’m not going to lay in bed and do nothing in a cute outfit. that’s such a waste. 

getting ready doesn’t mean get dressed for the runway. it’s more like wearing a separate set of clothes outside of something you’d wear to sleep and taking time for selfcare in the morning.

it leaves me feeling energized, motivated, and most importantly, confident for the day ahead of me. yes, it might take away a few minutes of the day, but the reward outweighs that loss of time. ⏲️ 

today i fell victim to laziness and didn’t get all dressed up. i noticed that this laziness followed its way throughout my day as well. i didn’t check off my to-do’s and the whole day just felt muddled.

that physical readiness to take on the day translates to my mentality and the confidence is an added quirk. :) i knooow it might seem tiring and too much effort, but i promise it isn’t! a nice outfit ≠ an uncomfortable or complicated one. 👕
