featuring Secret with Essential Oils

It has been tough the past year as we live the same routine day in and day out. We are at home, wake up, work, eat, sleep, rinse and repeat. The past few weeks I’ve been committed to making a change and incorporating small ways to feel luxurious into my everyday morning routine so that every day has a little something special to it.

Here are 5 ways to make your morning routine more luxurious and special:

1. Drink your fresh pressed juice in a champagne glass

I am a huge fan of fresh pressed juice, which alone tends to elevate my mornings. To take it one step further, try adding your morning juice to a champagne or wine glass to make your experience that much more luxurious. It may seem simple but I promise you, it instantly makes you feel special.

2. Try the new Secret collection with Essential Oils

Scent is one of the best ways to elevate our overall experience. I’ve been using Secret’s new collection with Essential Oils. The antiperspirant has the same attributes with long-lasting sweat and odour protection, but made with pure essential oils derived from roots, stems and plant flowers! This collection comes in incredible scents like lavender+eucalyptus or coconut+mandarin, crafted by expert perfumers. Plus, it’s free of dyes and parabens and it’s also PETA certified cruelty-free.

3. Push back your first meeting and schedule a little extra time for you through journaling or meditating.

If you’re waking up and running right away to your first meeting, workout or task, one of the easiest ways to feel better and more luxurious is by giving yourself space to be still. Try pushing back your first meeting every so often and give yourself an hour of two in the morning for yourself. Think of journaling, meditating, listening to your favourite music, reading a book, taking a bath or just spending a little extra time on your get ready routine without the rush.

4. Eat breakfast in bed, just because you can.

We tend to save breakfast in bed for hotels or special occasions. The truth is, we can have breakfast in bed anytime we need the little extra boost in our day. Prep some of your favourite breakfast items and serve yourself the dream breakfast in bed even if it’s just a typical Wednesday.

5. Order a fancy coffee for delivery.

Being treated to something always lifts our feelings of luxury. When we are always having to make our own coffee or prepare everything ourselves, it becomes harder to feel “taken care of”. That said, there are plenty of options now to order yourself something special for your morning, like a fancy coffee for delivery. Try ordering from a local artisanal spot that might be needing the business right now just as much as you might be needing the delivery.

I hope these special moments help liven up your morning routine. I’ve found these little changes make me feel so much better on a day to day. To check out more or shop on the Secret Essential Oils collection, Click Here.
