6:00 am Wake up!
I always set a 6:15 am alarm just in case.

6:30 am Take out Heidi 
and tidy up the house. I like to take this time to start some laundry, unload the dishwasher, start coffee for both Justin and myself, take my morning medication, etc. I also turn on the news to stay current on what’s happening in the world. 

7:00 am Coffee & cleaning up emails
from both my blog inbox, work inbox, and personal inbox. Too many emails piling up gives me a lot of anxiety because it worries me I’ll forget something or miss a new brand deal. I always clean them up first thing so only the important emails remain. 

8:00 am Get work organized for the day
and answer emails that require a quick response. I love making to-do lists and basically survive with the help of my planner and notebook. I like to go through my day hour by hour, make a list of to-do’s, and also go through old lists to carry over anything I didn’t get finished the week or day before.

9:00 am Skincare + makeup & hair
if I’m taking photos. If I’m not taking photos or filming on stories I normally don’t do my makeup and hair because it’s really a waste of time and product. If this is the case, I simply apply a luminous serum, moisturizer, and eye cream (all in my winter skincare routine). Then I get to work! I’m also a huge fan of Live with Kelly & Ryan and like having this on in the background while I start checking off my to-do list.

10:00 am Work 
on blog planning, content creation, my part-time job tasks (I work part-time 15 hours a week right now), searching for new opportunities, watching webinars, etc. 

12:00 pm Lunchtime break 
although many days I work and eat because I get so engrossed in what I’m doing. I usually make a quick salad, sandwich or soup that will tide me over until dinner (or my next snack lol). If I take a true lunch break I will watch an episode of a show on Netflix (right now I’m watching Reign – it’s so good!).

1:00 pm Continue working
on anything and everything I need to get done. Usually, during this time I’ll do try-on sessions, if I have them planned, or run errands if needed.  

5:00 pm Answer emails and organize work
for the next day, including updating my to-do list and making a new one for tomorrow. I like to leave my work in order so I’m not overwhelmed or disorganized.

6:00 pm Start on dinner
for Justin and I. Normally during the week, I cook dinner since Justin works long hours and usually hits the gym before coming home. We are fairly routine and usually eat salmon, lean turkey tacos, or baked chicken. I like to have everything ready to go by the time Justin arrives – which is not a request by him, I just enjoy doing it!

6:30/7 pm Justin comes home 
and we eat dinner! Sometimes we eat earlier if he skips the gym, but usually, it’s around 6:30 or so. We don’t have dining room furniture yet so we eat on the couch and watch Netflix. But who am I kidding?! This won’t change when we have a dining table haha. 

8:00 pm Relax and finish any unfinished blog posts
for the next day. If I’m organized and done for the day I’ll pour myself a glass of wine and wind down. If I still need to work on a blog post, I’ll make a cup of coffee and finish things up while watching TV. Usually, Justin is in his man cave catching up on sports so I watch my fav girly shows on Bravo. 

11:00 Bedtime (I try my best but many days stay up later)
I know this is horrible but I usually settle in while watching Instagram Stories and answering comments and direct messages. It actually calms me down and keeps me from feeling inundated the next day. I make it a point to answer EVERY comment and message so sometimes this takes a while – but I love it! Justin is in bed before me 99% of the time so if I catch up on messages in bed, I wear my headphones so I don’t wake him up.
