I figured this was a good episode to kick Michael off of. This is gonna be about beauty and wellness. He just doesn't need to be here. 2 things I do every night. It's changed my skin, it's changed my hair, it's changed my energy, it's made me lose weight. I wanted to show you how I integrate the skinny confidential products into that routine. I'm just getting really, really detailed, like, I can't. It's gonna kick your routine up.

Welcome back to the Him and Her podcast. Today, it's just her. You have me. I'm solo. I kicked Michael off. I figured this was a good episode to kick Michael off of because this is gonna be about beauty and wellness and routines, and he just doesn't need to be here. I'm gonna talk to you about the practices that I've been doing lately, the ones that I think that work, the ones that I think that don't work. And I'm going to go really detailed with how I use certain things.

So first, we'll kick this off with the morning. I mean, naturally, let's start with the morning. The first thing I do when I open my eyes is I let sunlight in my room. And if my kids are still asleep, I will get a meditation in. I will put my legs up on my wall, and I will put my headphones on and do a meditation. I try to keep my doctor Dennis Gross red light mask next to my bed, and I'll put it on while I'm doing a meditation. Because anyone knows as a mom, you have to be so so productive and you have to be so creative when it comes to your time. And I'm always looking for pockets of time to do something easily and do something on top of it.

So I got my legs up on the wall. I'm meditating, and I have my red light mask on. Now, probably 60% of the time my kids are waking up with me, so I don't get to get this meditation in. But what I'll do is I'll wake up with my kids, I'll open the shades, and I'll make the bed with them. I try to make it like a fun thing, and that takes about 5 minutes. And then I will scrape my tongue, and I always scrape my tongue in the morning. That is the first wellness y thing that I do if I even if I don't get a meditation in. And that is because I do not wanna drink water when I have stuff on my tongue.

Like, I want it off. And I learned this from someone who is an herbalist. She said, you always wanna get all the bacteria that's been collecting on your tongue. And I should have mentioned I take my mouth tape off. So I'll take my mouth tape off. I'll scrape my tongue. I like a copper tongue scraper. There's this one by Wellness Mama.

Her brand is Wellness, and it's a great tongue scraper. And then I'll brush my teeth, and then I will start drinking water. So after I've brushed my teeth, scraped my tongue, we're drinking the water. I'm drinking all the water I can possibly drink. And I will make my kids breakfast with Michael. We'll make it like usually like eggs, give them a little toast, maybe some fruit. We'll turn on some music. And then the second that Towns is done with his breakfast, I put him in the stroller.

And I do this because I've been reading and hearing a lot about morning light. And I do this thing called a circadian walk. And getting him outside in the sunlight in the morning is so beneficial to not only him, but to me. I'm all about it. And while I'm walking him, if I have not gotten a meditation in, this is a hack for you moms, I put on a walking meditation. So now I am walking my son with a walking meditation. The one that I like is by Melissa Wood Health. There's 2 I'm obsessed with.

She has a lot, but the one that I love is an 11 minute one and it's called align. And you basically, like, realign yourself. It's so relaxing. Her voice is just so romantic and easy on the ears in the morning. I love it. And then there's another one that's a longer one that's a 16 minute one. So I will walk towns. Maybe I have my driving gloves on, and I will just walk and walk and walk while I'm listening to this meditation.

I'll get the nature in. I'll get the sunlight. And we probably walk for 20 to 30 minutes. I will come back to the house. I will make my daughter lunch for school. I will get my workout essentials going. So that's usually water with ice and a lot of chyenne amino acids. I think you can use code skinny.
