 Good morning, I just literally rolled out of bed and I thought that I would share with you guys my current morning routine for my skincare. I get lots of questions on what I do for skincare for mornings and night. I do change it up a lot based on what current skincare products I'm using, but I thought that I would share with you my current morning skincare because it's done wonders for my skin, adding in hydration, helping with fine lines and wrinkles. So I thought that we would start our what I eat in a day off with a little bit of a morning skincare routine. So the first thing that I do is just take one of my makeup wipes and wipe off any residual skincare from the night before. I do have a nighttime routine as well, which I'll share with you guys tonight and just any dirt that's gotten on my face overnight. The next thing I do is my vitamin C serum. Right now I'm using the Tarte Truth Or Dare. I usually pump about two or three pumps in my hand and then add that to my slightly damp skin from that makeup wipe. It just helps it absorb a little bit better. The eye cream that I'm using in the mornings right now is from Elemis and this is their peptide eye recovery cream. This eye cream is amazing. I can't believe the difference in my under eyes. I do get a lot of fine lines and wrinkles under my eyes. I can't believe the difference in just a couple of weeks this eye cream has made. I really, really like this. Highly recommend. Of course I'll link everything down below for you guys that I'm using in my routine. I always like to go in with an oil because I do have a fairly dry skin especially in the winter and this is what is known as a fig renewal oil. What I like about this is it's a really dry oil. So you can apply it to the skin under makeup because it's not super greasy but it adds in just a ton of hydration. In a while the oil sinks into my skin. I've been using the It Cosmetics confidence in a neck cream. As I'm getting older I'm getting that whole like turkey gobble gobble look under my neck. So I've been using night cream to kind of help counteract that and firm it up a little bit. And lastly I've been using this Elemis Superfood Glow Priming Moisturizer because it just adds such a pretty glow to my skin and it also is a primer for under my makeup so I don't have to go in with that extra step. And I love this moisturizer on no makeup days because it really truly adds this really pretty glow to your skin. Can you see that glow? It's just so pretty. So if you're not someone that wears makeup but you like that whole glowy look or you want a little bit of a glowiness under your makeup the Elemis is pretty great for that. So again I'll make sure everything's linked down below for you. I'm losing sight because I am falling I'm so deep down, deep down, in the snow I'm down, I can't hide. Officially ready for today, quick easy hair, quick easy makeup but I wanted to cop on and officially welcome you to today's what I eat in a day. I'm going to show you my morning skincare routine, my nighttime skincare routine, all of the delicious food that I'm eating throughout the day today. I'm not sure what we're doing for dinner yet but of course I'll share that with you as well. The dogs, I think I'm getting my imperfect foods order today.

So I'm going to finish sipping on my tea with collagen and then we'll make some breakfast. So here is my pretty simple breakfast for this morning. These are those zucchini fritters that I made in meal prep. They are absolutely delicious. They totally give me the feel of a pancake but they're healthy. They're with rolled oats, zucchini and eggs. If you haven't seen Monday's meal prep I'll link it down below for you guys. And then I weighed out on my food scale one ounce of full fat sharp cheddar cheese. I really wanted cheese. I don't know why but cheese just sounded really good and because I didn't have coffee this morning I'm going to have one of my verb energy bars. Look at this flavor, caramel macchiato. It is the newest flavor from verb. Oh my gosh is it incredibly delicious. It is so, so good. It totally feels like a Starbucks caramel macchiato. It is that delicious. These bars have 65 milligrams of caffeine which is the same as the shot of espresso. So it's going to give me that little bit of a boost again since I didn't have coffee this morning. I love these as pre-workout, post-workout or just when I need a little bit of a boost. They taste amazing. They have great ingredients. They're 90 calories and only three points. So such a great bang for your points, your calories and you get that little bit of caffeine. So I'm going to have one of those. So this is my breakfast for this morning. Soad smells so good here is the size of the verb bar for reference. It literally smells like coffee and caramel. Really truly is absolutely delicious. This is the bag that they come in. You get 12 bars and right now verb has a huge sale going on where you can get a bag of 12 bars or choice of flavor and then verb is awesome. They throw in like four or five extra bars for you. So you get to pick the flavor, 12 bars, only $10, which is amazing. They are so good. Great ingredients. Again, a great pick me up. This is definitely going to help get me going this morning. Do you want to come take a nap? Do you want to come take a nap? Mama gets you all cozy, buddy. He wedges himself in the corner of our couch because when he was a puppy, he slept in the corner right there with Troy every night for about four months. But you a little messy. Do you want to take a little nap? So I just got up for the day, mom. Did you just come in from that side all day? Oh, we got the whole clan here now. I'm doing laundry, putting away laundry, washing laundry. And for my morning snack, I'm keeping it simple. I'm actually not very hungry. My breakfast was very, very filling. So I'm just going to have one of my Gatorade Zero with protein. I really like these. They give me the electrolytes. They give me 10 grams of protein. I think it tastes really good. I know that it's kind of hit and miss. Some people love it. Some people don't. But this is just a simple morning snack for me to get in some protein. And I can also keep being super productive, getting all of my laundry done, folded, and put away. It's lunchtime. So what I'm going to have for lunch is my meatballs that I did in my meal prep, my teriyaki meatballs. These are incredible. Both Troy and I absolutely love them. So I'm going to have one serving of meatballs. And then I think I'm going to have some of my favorite cottage cheese, the good culture. Just because I feel like I need that extra bit of protein from, since I didn't have a snack other than the Gatorade, I'm going to do some cottage cheese. And then I'm going to have a serving of the Siete grain-free tortilla chips. These are absolutely delicious. They have no grains in them. They have really clean ingredients, cassava flour, avocado oil, coconut flour, chia seeds, and salt. That's it. So they're not deep fried. They're okay for me to have because they have those flour alternatives. The serving is 15 chips. I think I'm going to only have about a half of a serving because I have the meatballs and the cottage cheese, but let's put together a lunch. I am pretty hungry. All right, so here's my lunch. This actually looks really good. So I have two of the meatballs, which is one serving, half a serving of the Siete chips. I think I'm going to dip them in the cottage cheese that actually sounds really good. So very protein packs. We're light on the carbs. We just simply have some of the grain-free tortilla chips, the teriyaki meatballs, 10 out of 10, highly recommend making. So I will go ahead and put points and calories here on the screen. Imperfect Foods is here. I can't even remember what I ordered, but I always get excited when this is delivered to my doorstep. I do order from Imperfect Foods every other week, so twice a month. Imperfect Foods helps eliminate food waste by selling food that would be discarded, whether it's excess surplus, or if the fruits and vegetables aren't perfectly shaped and they would be discarded. We can buy them at a much more affordable price. It comes packaged really nicely. You get to pick what you want in your order. There is no minimum order, and I will link Imperfect Foods down below for you guys with $20 off of your first order. And again, remember, no minimum order, so you can order your $20 and go. It's a company I'm passionate about. It's a project I'm passionate about. So let's look at what I picked up for the next two weeks. We are almost out of rice, and this was such a great deal. This is the Imperfect Foods California Jasmine Rice. This is a two pound bag. And then I always order these for Troy. He loves these in his lunch. These are the yogurt-covered pretzels with sprinkles. They are actually really, really good. And he loves these as kind of a sweet treat in his lunch. You'll see that there's a barrier here, and everything below that is what needs to be kept cold, and it's actually in one of these nice insulated bags with a big ice pack at the bottom. So first up is this cheese. Now this is the Grand Crew Switzerland-inspired cheese. So it just has a bunch of white, melty type of cheeses. I thought this would be really good on pasta, salad. This is my all-time favorite nonfat Greek yogurt. It is so good. It is grass-fed, grass-finished. It is so affordable. Less than $3 a container through Imperfect Foods. And it's just the perfect consistency. Make two-ingredient dough. I love to add this to my smoothies to bulk up the protein. It's just really good. And then I've been ordering my shredded cheese through Imperfect Foods because it's cheaper than the grocery store. I think it's $2.99 a bag. So I did grab the Mexican Four Cheese Blend. And another thing I love to get through them is their Coleman Natural Bacon. I can actually have this bacon because it's not cured with sugar. So it's a no-sugar bacon. It's great for low carb, great for whole 30. I believe it's $5.99 a package, which is not bad at all. And it just is such a high-quality bacon. I always pick it up when I order from Imperfect Foods. Now, I've never tried their Pasteurized Chicken Brass. And I thought that I would give it a try. I actually ordered two packages worth. There's that big ice pack at the bottom. Everything is so cold. It's hard to pick it up. It's that cold. I also grabbed a block of sharp cheddar cheese. It's our favorite cheese. And again, the price can't be beat. I've purchased these Better Bean products before, and they're really good. This is the Uncanny Refried Black Beans and Dip. I like to put this on tacos, have it as a side dish. It's great to dip tortilla chips in or veggies in. It's nice, clean ingredients. And I thought since I was placing an order, I would pick up another one because I really liked it the first time. I've also been on a huge fish kick. I don't know what's gotten into me, but fish has been my go-to. And I love the Imperfect Foods Mahi-Mahi. It is wild-caught. It is not farm-raised. Super affordable, two huge filets for less than $9. I also picked up one zucchini for Troy. He was asking for sliced zucchini in his lunch. You can see all my little potatoes. I did go ahead and order a pound of organic yellow potatoes. And last but not least, my favorite snacking cheese. I love this. This is the Fontina Snacking Cheeses. They're these white packages of cheese. They're so good. I don't know what it is about the flavor of them, but I truly, truly love them. They're my go-to cheese snack. So that is everything in my Imperfect Foods order. I didn't grab a lot of produce this time because I do wanna make a trip to Trader Joe's. But such a great value, such a great cause, such a great way to prevent food waste. So of course I will link Imperfect Foods down below for you. So here is my afternoon snack. I went ahead and chopped up that big apple. I have two tablespoons. Measure that out on my food scale of peanut butter. This is just the creamy peanut butter salted from Trader Joe's. I've been craving apples and peanut butter. I don't know what it is, but this is going to be very satisfying. Two full tablespoons of peanut butter and an apple. Such a perfect protein-packed, healthy, fat, carbohydrate afternoon snack. So, hey, tell everybody you turned 10. See, I turned 10 on January 22nd, everyone. It was just my birthday. He still acts like he did 10 years ago. He's pretty great. You pretty great? Yeah, you're pretty great. For tonight's dinner, we're going to do a sheet pan recipe. Quick, simple, full of veggies, protein, potatoes. Super excited. We're going to make this very, very simple. So first I have some avocado oil. I have two steaks. These are from my butcher box. So these are grass-fed beef strip loin steaks. You guys know, if you follow me for a while, that we love the butcher box. It is the only place we buy red meat from because it is such good quality. It is so inexpensive. I'll link it down below with, I think $30 off your first box. Well worth it. And I think they're even doing ground beef for life right now. So definitely check them out. We get a box every other month from them. And then I am going to do some carrots. I think some roasted carrot sounds good. Potatoes. And then I'm using this citrusy garlic seasoning from Trader Joe's and some salt and pepper. So super, super simple dinner. Here is our sheet pan dinner. We've got steak, carrots, potatoes. This looks beautiful. I'm very excited for this. I'm popping this into a 425 degree oven until everything is roasted through. Everything should cook pretty close to the same time. The sheet pan is out of the oven. This smells and looks so delicious. I just tested the potatoes. They're done. We have carrots. We have steak. We have Palmer playing with the ball in the background. Let me go ahead and plate this up and I'll be back to share points and calories. And here is my dinner for tonight. So I have some steak, potatoes, roasted carrots. This looks so good. I'm just finishing up my water for the day alongside dinner. I will go ahead and put points and calories here on the screen for you. So I just got out of the shower and I'm ready to do my nighttime skincare routine. First, I wanted to share with you guys. I love these Sephora pads. These are fantastic. And this Shiseido cotton rounds. Highly recommend both of these for applying skincare. They're amazing. You can buy them both off of Sephora. I'll link them as well for you guys. But the first thing I do when I get out of the shower is tone my face. Right now I'm using this Balance Me Toner. This is a BHA exfoliating concentrate. I use that on the larger pad. And I like this because it helps fill in all the fine lines and wrinkles. And it also helps just tone my skin after my shower. And then I always go in with an essence. So right now I'm using the Real Complexion Hyaluronic Skin Essence. And the reason I do this is because the essence adds back in moisture, which is going to help all of your skincare sink in even better. So I always apply an essence at night because at night is when I actually go in with retinol. It can sit on my skin overnight. And so the essence really helps that just soak into my skin a lot better. While I kind of wait for the essence to settle in, I'm using that same Elemis eye cream that I use this morning. I love this. I've been using it twice a day now for a few weeks. And I've noticed just a drastic, drastic difference. I can't believe how drastic of a difference I've noticed. The curtain retinol that I'm using is from Sunday Riley. This is the A plus high dose retinoid serum. I use this for two days and then I take a break for a day and then I use it for two more days. This is phenomenal. It is such a good retinol. It is expensive, but it works. So if you are trying to go through the anti-aging process with your skin and you've wanted to start on a good retinol routine, I highly, highly recommend the Sunday Riley. It's very, very good, very potent. Little bit goes a long way. And again, I use it for two days, take a day break, use it for two more days, take a day break. And that way I'm giving my skin a chance to breathe in between treatments. And this is the night cream that I've been using. I'm really liking this. I got this in a subscription box. This is the Comfort Zone 3 Renite Nourishing Cream. I feel like this sits really nice on top of my retinol. And again, a very little bit goes a long way. And it adds just a ton of hydration to my skin. I'll wake up in the morning and my skin is still kind of tacky from the retinol and the night cream. So I really, really like this combination. I actually just self-tanned. So once my self-tanner dries, I'm going back in with that IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Net Cream that I use this morning and I'll apply that down my neck. And that's pretty much my nighttime routine. I do change up the products that I use. I'll go through the moisturizers. Sometimes I even incorporate a facial oil. I really like this one here from Earth Harbor. You can see I've used a lot of this. If I feel like my skin is really dry, after the retinol, I'll put on some face serum and then my face cream. So I hope you enjoyed kind of seeing what my nighttime skincare routine is. So here is my dessert for tonight. This is a new fine, new yogurt fine for me. This is the Ratio Protein Yogurt. 25 grams of protein. They come in vanilla and strawberry or that's at least what I can find locally. But it has four times the dairy of traditional yogurts. Only three grams of sugar. Here are the macros. And I've already had the strawberry one and it is so good. So if you struggle to get in your protein, this is a great way. I may top it with a little bit of sugar-free cool whip, but that's going to be my dessert. Well, that's a wrap on today's What I Eat in a Day on WW. I hope you enjoyed coming along with me today. We had a chill day, a relaxed day, but a super productive day and some really, really good food. I'll make sure everything I shared with you in today's video is linked down in the description box along with nutrition coaching, links and discounts to my favorite things and my Facebook group. Of course, we would love to have you come on over and join us there as well. Happy Wednesday, friends. I hope you have a fantastic rest of your week and I'll see you in Friday's weigh-in. Bye.
