 Good morning everyone. Today I'm going to walk you through my simple morning routine. Today was a work day for me, so I got up earlier than usual. This morning I got up at 4.15 a.m. to get ready and ride over to the beach to watch the sunrise. It takes me about 30 minutes to ride my bike, so I like to give myself plenty of time to get to the beach before the sun starts to rise over the horizon. And I enjoy the ride as it helps to wake me up in the mornings. Plus, it's really quiet and peaceful at this hour, as there's barely anyone awake, so I love this time of morning. If I'm not watching the sunrise in the morning, I'll usually get up at around 7 a.m. and start my day then. I arrived at the beach at 5 a.m., parked my bike, and then headed down towards the sea, finding a comfy spot to place my towel down and sit and watch the beautiful sunrise. We'd been having quite cloudy days before this, so this morning's sunrise was just spectacular. And the day proved to be so sunny and warm, it was just perfect weather for sunrise watching. The sun rose over the horizon at about 5.47 a.m. on this particular day, and as soon as the rays of sunlight hit my face, I could feel my whole body start to warm up, and I felt new energy coursing through my body. I stayed to watch the sunrise up into the sky to about 6 a.m., then packed up, got back on my bike, and rode to my favorite cafe nearby to order a dairy-free hot chocolate on almond milk. To take away in my glass reusable cup. I then walked back to the beach and found a sunny spot on the sand to sit and have my hot chocolate while I listened to the waves rolling in and watched the surfers out at sea catching some waves. After my hot chocolate, I read a book for a while and soaked up more of the morning sun on my skin, which was helping to defrost my cold body from the chilly morning we had. After about an hour or so, I packed up my things and went over to the nearest shower to wash out my reusable cup. If there aren't any showers nearby, I'll wash my reusables in the ocean instead, just to give them a quick rinse before I clean them properly at home. I then rode the 30 minutes back home and by now the day was starting to warm up, so when I arrived back home, I was really really hot, so I quickly changed into a summery dress and then made my liver cleansing juice. Just to help detoxify and cleanse my liver in the mornings, as I found out from my naturopath that my liver is prone to blocking regularly. So this just helps to flush it out and then I follow up with a peppermint tea 15 minutes later to further flush out my liver and give it a good cleanse. After my tea, I give my teeth a good clean using my homemade all-natural whitening tooth powder, then I start my skincare routine. I first cleanse my skin using my homemade oil cleanser made with olive oil and cast oil, which I massage onto my skin. I leave this cleanser on for 10 minutes or so to allow it to seep deep into my pores. Then I soak a face cloth with hot water and place it over my face to create a steam barrier, which opens up my pores and allows my skin to flush out any impurities trapped inside. I leave the cloth on my face for about a minute or until it's no longer warm, then I gently wash off any remaining oil residue on my skin with the edges of the cloth. Next I apply my homemade ultra-hydrating moisturizer to my face. I only use a pea-sized amount as it's an oil-based moisturizer, so it's much oilier than the standard water-based moisturizers you find at the store and so a little goes a long way with this cream. It's 100% plastic-free, all-natural, vegan, it's made with certified organic ingredients and it's handmade by me. It contains apricot kernel oil, coconut oil, vitamin E oil, shea butter and lavender essential oil. I found it to be the only moisturizer that I've come across that keeps my skin hydrated and silky smooth all day long after just one application. I used to need to apply standard water-based moisturizers at least two times a day and they would soak into my skin too quickly, leaving it dry and flaky within a few hours. This moisturizer is made with a luscious blend of yummy oils and butters that keep skin hydrated and nourished all day long, as the oils take longer for the skin to absorb, so it sits on skin for longer, protecting it from the elements around us like the sun, wind and cold. This moisturizer is now available on my website, simplynaturalnessa.com and I'll also link it below in the description if you'd like to check it out. I'll be releasing an all-natural face cleanser soon too. And that is my simple morning routine living by the seaside. I hope you all enjoy this video, let me know what time you start your mornings. Do you get up at 5am too or do you get up earlier or later? I'd love to know. Thank you so much for watching and thank you for the support and love you share with me as I share my videos with you all. It means so much to me and inspires me to keep going. I'm sending you so much love from here in Australia. I hope you take care and I hope to see you again soon. Bye.
