5 Tips for a Nourishing Morning + GIVEAWAY

March 30, 2015 by Hillary 27 Comments

Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Airborne®. While I was compensated to write a post about Airborne® Everyday™, all opinions are my own.


You are either a morning person, or you are not. I am wholeheartedly, 100 percent a morning person – yep, I am one of those people.

Perhaps it is because breakfast is my favorite meal of the day; but, regardless, I see my morning as the foundation of how I create a fresh, new day.

Here are five tips to make your morning an inspiring, peaceful and nourishing time of day:

  1. Begin your day with a fresh glass of H20. This is a newer habit of mine and it helps to rid of any grogginess almost immediately. If you’re feeling up to it, add a tablespoon of unpasteurized apple cider vinegar for a slew of health benefits – including revving up your metabolism for the day.
  1. Enjoy a nutritionally satisfying breakfast at the table (preferably sans technology). Set your alarm a few minutes early to have enough time to eat your first meal in a calm, peaceful environment (rather than while rushing out the door). A few of my favorites include 3-Minute Banana Peanut Butter Oatmeal, Creamy Cashewmilk Steel Cut Oatmeal, and Almond Butter Hemp Seed Toast… or a bowl of Power O’s!

  1. Sip a hot beverage. This is also a newer ritual of mine (as you all know I’m an iced coffee fiend). However, I’ve been savoring an aromatic cup of joe these days. If coffee isn’t your thing, a hot mug of herbal tea, or even warm water with fresh squeezed lemon will wake you (and your tummy) up. Tumeric tea with coconut milk is another nourishing option I’m eager to try.

  1. After breakfast (perhaps while sipping said hot beverage), take 5 minutes to write out your intentions/aspirations for the day. This isn’t meant to be a nagging to-do list, but rather your intentions for how you envision your day along with the necessities that need to be accomplished.
  1. Chew a tasty multivitamin like Airborne® Everyday™ – a daily multivitamin plus Airborne’s® crafted immune support.

Instagram post 2196759891750447285_212296339 The countdown is on...⁣
⁣
It’s really happening, we’re leaving Florida for good! 🙌🏻⁣
⁣
3 weeks from today. January 1, 2020. 🍾⁣
⁣
How am I feeling? Overwhelmed, excited, overwhelmed, excited... 🥴⁣
⁣
So much to do, so little time. 📦⁣
⁣
The next few weeks will be semi-chaotic (can’t forget Christmas in there, too!)... moving clear across the country (again) — now that’s a way to start a new decade with a bang! 🚙 🐾🏡⁣

Instagram post 2188697053505017711_212296339 When you think of Beautycounter, 'small business' may not be the first thing that comes to mind.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A B Corporation founded in 2013 that offers more than 150 products, is an advocacy leader for clean beauty, and was the number one Googled beauty brand in 2018? Not so small.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
But, the business I run is truly small. I wear many hats in my role not excluded to owner, mentor, consultant, customer service, accounting, marketing, and so on. I set my own personal goals and do what I can to work toward achieving them.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
While Beautycounter may be a loud voice in the beauty industry, I try to make the relationships with my clients sincere and personal. When you receive a follow-up email or thank you card or gift from me - those are written, purchased, planned, and sent by me. Much thought and many hours are put in behind the scenes.⁣⁣ 📬
⁣⁣
Not only is the majority of my work incredibly enjoyable, it is also entirely rewarding to be able to help you make the switch to safer and get safer products into your home.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Almost two years later, my Beautycounter business continues to grow - thanks to all of you. I am THANKFUL for this opportunity to be your consultant. Thank you for supporting my small business and the clean beauty movement!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
💌 xo,⁣⁣

Instagram post 2183017690054888249_212296339 If you think I’m just selling lipstick, you’re not paying attention. 💄⁣
⁣
Swipe right to see how I feel when someone asks “So, what’s next?” (a.k.a. “When are you going to get a real job?”)⁣
⁣
You see, I don’t look at it like they may: switching from a wonderfully unique job in corporate wellness to “selling skincare and makeup”, working from home (or wherever I please). ⁣
⁣
Instead, I see how aligned my life and career path has been. I went from working for one incredible environmentally-conscious, family-owned company that puts people and the planet first while simultaneously creating a product that leads its craft industry (🍺) to another: a forward-thinking @bcorporation that is transparent about their sourcing/ingredients and advocates for social change while consciously creating personal care products that perform.⁣
⁣
By purchasing @beautycounter ’s beautiful products this holiday season (or any time of year), you’re doing more than gifting a gorgeous lip gloss or luxurious moisturizer. You are voting with your dollar for #cleanbeauty to be the norm; most importantly, you are showing that you give a damn about your health, the health of your loved ones, and the health of our planet.⁣
⁣
For me, it’s all about health — it always has been and always will be. ⁣
⁣

Instagram post 2181017522292059910_212296339 It’s been fun, Hyde Park. ⁣
⁣
As it turns out, staying in an itty bitty AirBNB for 6 weeks(!) while our floors got replaced wasn’t so bad after all. To be honest, I enjoyed the boujee South Tampa life much more than life in the suburbs. ⁣
⁣
I’ll miss walking to free community yoga classes in the village, neighborhood walks with Koba admiring the humongous, historic century old homes, treating myself to many @buddybrewcoffee matcha lattes just because, the 5 minute drive down Bayshore Boulevard to workout at the base gym, and more. ⁣
⁣
Sometimes, most times, it does us justice to shake up our environment. Because what at first seemed like it’d be a headache turned out to be a blessing in disguise — the gift of feeling C A L M when “home base” was in a season of transition. ⁣
⁣
Thanks for a few of my favorite weeks in Florida,⁣

Instagram post 2169125642797255035_212296339 My first yoga class in almost ✌🏻years!⁣
⁣
Woke up early, had a cup of decaf, took Koba on a cool walk around the neighborhood, and then walked to @lululemon for their free Sunday morning yoga class. It was humbling to say the least.⁣
⁣
The sounds of the singing bowl while in savasana reminded me of my beloved classes with @lisaweberyoga and then strolling through the monthly farmer’s market afterwards... for a brief moment, I felt at home.
