As September rolls in, it brings with it a whirlwind of family chaos, back-to-school schedules, and the challenge of keeping everything running smoothly at Elsa’s Organics. On top of that, I’ve recently sent another child off to university! With so much going on, I’ve found that my daily routine is my secret weapon. It’s more than just surviving the day; it’s about thriving.
Here’s a look into my daily routine, designed to refresh and prepare me for whatever the day brings!
1. Breathe in the New Day 🌬️
Before diving into my tasks and grabbing my phone, I take six deep breaths. This quick, mindful moment helps clear my head and set the right tone for the day. It’s a simple but powerful way to stay centered, even when the day ahead looks busy.
2. Water Before Coffee 💧
Hydration is key, especially after a full night’s sleep. A glass of water first thing helps replenish what’s lost overnight, jump-starts my metabolism, and gives my skin a natural glow. After that, I’m ready to enjoy my first cup of coffee.
3. Oil Pulling Magic ✨
An Ayurvedic tradition I swear by, oil pulling is a fantastic way to boost both oral health and metabolism. I swish a tablespoon of coconut or sesame oil for 5-20 minutes, helping to remove toxins and freshen my breath. It’s an easy addition to my routine, and the benefits are worth it!
4. Tooth Powder Shine✨
Next up is my teeth! I use our mineralising natural tooth powder made from Miswak tree extract. It strengthens enamel, fights plaque, and gives my teeth a sparkling clean without the synthetic ingredients found in most conventional toothpastes. It’s the natural, toxin-free way to maintain a bright smile.
5. Natural Deodorant Freshness 🌿
Finally, I keep it fresh and clean with Elsa’s natural deodorant. Made without harsh chemicals, it’s gentle on my skin and kind to the environment. Just a couple of swipes, and I’m ready to go—feeling fresh and confident, knowing I’m using a product that’s safe for me and the planet.
Whether you’re juggling school schedules, family chaos, or just want to start your day off right, these simple, natural practices can make all the difference. Here’s to thriving, not just surviving!
Stay refreshed and ready for the day ahead!
