My morning Routine!

Since I didn't really take photos yesterday (silly me!) I decided to do this blog on both yesterday AND my morning routine!!
Yesterday was really dull in terms of blogging about it I just exercised, had a bath, studyed and began making an animation on GoAnimate! I will post the link to the animation here tomorrow when its finished!! But perhaps not in this blog...MWUAHAHAH ahem..

Anyways here are the two pictures I took yesterday:
Dress from Peacocks, Dark green cardy from New Look, shiny dark blue tights.
I'M SHINEY LOOK hahaha!! Ahem anyways, that weather slowly got cloudier and cloudier and cold so no bike ride this day either :( BAW I WANT TO RIDE MY BICYCLE. Ah well, at least the end of the day was pretty:
Red sky at night, shepards delight!
And that was really it for Wednesday haha...ON TO THE MORNING ROUTINE
Thanks to iGoogle and Google Calanders, I now have a schedual I like trying to roughly stick too. Which goes as follows (this is for todays, Thursday)
0915-0930 ~ Breakfast
Nommy nommy nommy

0930-1030 ~ Write blog and bum on the net
1030-1100 ~ Get bath or shower (this varies day to day. Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays, this time is labeled Exercise and then 1100-1130 ~ Bath/Shower )
1200-1300 ~ Study
1530-1600 ~ Turn hot water on (for the boyfie! This doesn't apply to Fridays where he comes home early haha)

So thats my rough schedual, I also have a to do list which I like putting things on and see how many I can do!!
Now my morning routine that I am going to discuss starts with a bath or shower, where I wash my face. I use a face wash and a mild exfoliator in the mornings:
Clearasil Biactol Daily Gel Wash (I can only find this in Superdrugs!)
I squirt a bit on the Body Shops facial brush and lather up
Johnsons 3 in 1 gentle exfoliating facial wash. I like to use this as a gentle exfoliator just to buff my skin ready for moisturiser and make up.
Now on Sundays I use a different exfoliator once a week just to give it a good old scrubba dub dub
St Ives Apricot Scrub Blemish Fighting is love!!
I love St Ives Apricot scrubs, I use them on my face AND body!! They are just the best exfoliator I can get (cheaply)!!
Once I have got out of the bath or shower I spritz some of this on my skin and rub it in:
Avons Skin so Soft replenishing dry oil body spray
Makes my skin yummy and soft and keeps in the moisture of the bath. Its not as oily as baby oil and so doesn't leave a greasy residue on my skin for long!! I usually spray it on my arms and my lower legs!
When I get back in the room I apply a ton of stuff once again haha! I start off with deodrant, I prefer roll ons so they need some time to dry before placing clothes on so I do this first:
Dove goFresh 24h protection 0% alcohol
I love Dove roll ons as they are so non irratating and perfect for my sensitive skin!! Now being a slightly larger lady I do find myself succumb to sweating sometimes and I do get hot flushes. So this baby sorts that out on my underarms!
Next is my ever faithful toner which I love and will never replace as it never irritates my skin and it does its job:
Superdrugs Tea Tree oil cleanser and toner
I use this baby in the morning and let it dry on my skin before applying anything on top, I do love it so!
Next I apply moisturiser to my body and my current one in use is:
Nivea Happy Time!! Wheeee
I love Nivea, honest to god LOVE NIVEA. I use the body moisturiser and the lip balms and I have the cult favourite massive blue pot of the stuff which I slather on my face and neck once a week. The only problem is the facial stuff rides a bit on the pricey side so I just stick the the body stuff and the lipbalms!!
Just before I get dressed, I spritz on some perfume on my neck, clevage, wrists and back of the knees. My favourite perfume of all time is:
Beyond Paradise by Este Lauder <3
LOVE this such a nice scent and one my boyfie likes too!! And the bottle is so pretty and multicoloured, but I am running very low D: I need a new bottle!
Once I am dressed and decent I apply eye cream and face cream. If anyone knows a good eye cream for dark circles please tell me and I will test it!! Now my current one isnt TOO bad it moisturises and slightly reduces them but its not a big difference:
natural high brightening eye cream
You can buy this at Superdrugs as I said moisturises and reduces dark circles, but doesn't reduce them that much.
My facial cream at the moment is this:
The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Moisture Lotion SPF 15
Now this is alright but after a while it seperates, so I am looking for a new Day Moisturiser for less with SPF!! If you can recomend one, that would be cool :D Either that or I just look in Superdrugs, my most favourite store haha!! (Where I get a discount ;) )
With my hair, if I just washed it, I spritz a bit of this in ends after its dried a bit with the towel:
Aussie Lucious Long Leave-In Conditioner
I love Aussie stuff, I use their 3 Minute Miracle Hair Mask once a week and it smells LOVELY might have to convert all my hair stuff over to Aussie! I wonder if they do a good blonde shampoo...
If its a none washing my hair day, I spritz a bit of this in my hair to make sure its not greasy (my frindge can get greasy SO easily!)
batiste Dry Shampoo in Tropical
The best thing since sliced bread for ladies everywhere!! I have love for this!! I am always buying the different scents just to have a change each time, but I think I like this one best!!
Well, that is my morning routine, seems kinda long but it doesn't really take too long to apply all this stuff!! A few things I will change when they run out but others will be timeless :D

Thanks for reading!
