Tips:
- I always prepare my lunch the evening before to save time and spare the stress
- I know in advance which clothes I'm going to wear (or think about it in the shower)
- During the winter I always check the weather before going to bed, and wake up earlier if snow is announced
Wake up with alarm, brush teeth & mouthwash gargle, put on running clothes and shoes
I run 5 miles (during really bad weather I work out with weights first thing.)
Electric shave, shower & razor shave in the shower to get smoother,
Towel dry hair and its ready to go
Deodorant & after shave/cologne (just a little, not too much)
Mouthwash gargle again.
Dress, suit & tie Mon-Fri.
Drive to the office (listening to radio news): black coffee, muffins or granola bars (threaten to send my assistant out for Waffle House take out) ha
The phone starts ringing, emails pile in, the daily sprint race has started.
items 1-10 in my morning routine on weekdays are all hitting my snooze button.
my morning routine on the weekend is basically noticing it's gone, and that it's already after noon.
My name is Jack. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. There is an idea of Jack; some kind of abstraction. You can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable... Simply, they are not.
I roll out of bed at some point after the alarm clock has gone off, could be any time really.
Shake my girlfriend until she wakes up as well, if that doesn't work I hit her with a pillow. If THAT doesn't work, I have to resort to biting her.
Jump in the shower (if we're running late we shower together, there's just enough room). That can take anywhere from ten minutes to half an hour depending on how frisky we're feeling.
Get dressed - spend a minute adjusting my bra, give my boobs a squeeze to make sure it's all good to go.
Slap on a bit of make-up. I inevitably stab myself in the eye with the mascara pen at some point. If I still look like Carrot Top, I might sort my hair out as well.
Eat some breakfast, whatever is in the cupboard. Cereal or fruit preferably.
Run like fuck across town to get to class on time.
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
Found my way downstairs and drank a cup
And looking up, I noticed I was late
Found my coat and grabbed my hat
Made the bus in seconds flat
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke
And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
Smash alarm clock
check bank balance
go to work
Radio on .. Tea .. smoke .. login into Lush and check for sexy emails and hopefully naughty photos and pictures on my wall .. another tea .. another smoke .. check bank balance and sob a little .. check weather forecast .. check private emails .. another tea .. another smoke .. quick cyber if it’s a Tuesday and I get lucky .. shower .. make sandwiches for work .. dress/groom .. leave for work.
Wake up -- pleasure myself -- have either tea or coffee -- bath or shower --- have more tea or coffee -- do face and hair -- decide what to wear for the day -- dress -- go online -- get ready for work

1. Wake up after the alarm goes off...(or violently shaken awake by my mother every day since the middle of May).
2. Tinkle/reflect on life.
3. Put sesame oil in my mouth and swish for 15 minutes (the swishing occurs mostly in the shower).
4. Shower/wash and condition hair if necessary/wash face (with Clarisonic). I exfoliate every other day of the week.
5. Brush teeth.
6. Makeup if I feel like being bothered. Complete with either chap stick or lipstick.
7. Put on bottoms (shorts, skirt, pants, or leggings), or step into bottom half of dress.
8. Do my hair (add product if necessary and give it a few tosses).
9. Put on top or slip into top half of dress (I don't like doing my hair with my shirt on, in case of stray hair or product)
10. I pre-freeze smoothie ingredients in individual ziploc bags for the week, typically greens and fruit. I grab one of these bags, toss it in a ninja, add a splash of juice or almond milk and sometimes flax seeds or something. I give it a whirl, pour it in a cup, and I'm out the door.
Whole process can take 20-40 minutes, depending on what's omitted (makeup, shower, etc.)

Sh*t, Shave....then Shower
My Karma just ran over your Dogma
Start coffee. Get paper and read it while I down a couple cups. Brush teeth, make a futile attempt to control hair. Walk into my office upstairs and start work. When the girls wake up give them chores they have to do before they do anything else.
Shower waits til mid-afternoon, when the day is at its hottest.
- I always have both my smart-phone and the clock set for the same wake-up time, but I invariably wake up on my own, minutes before they go off. (talk about competitive!) Think about my day's schedule and decide if I have to rush, and what I need to wear and pull it out.
- OR... David wakes up with morning-wood and I tame that beast! OR, I wake up horny and suck him big.
- Drain and pee, or just pee
- Clip my hair up, and depending on whether I had sex the night before or in the morning, I jump in the shower with whomever's already in there, or take a quick bath if I need to shave my legs, underarms, and naughty-bits.
- Put on moisturizer, make-up, toss, tease, or curl hair and spritz-it.
- Get dressed and pick out shoes
- Put coffee on and wash berries, make whole wheat toast
- Mix together granola, almonds, yogurt, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, chopped pecans, Craisins, bananas, or some combination of same, and eat (or dry cereal if I'm in a hurry)
- Take my bc pill and vitamins with a glass of OJ
- Floss and brush teeth
- Grab my Macbook Pro and drive myself to work if David's already left, or ride in with him.
During the work week I wake up. Shake hands with the president. Make some coffee then jump in the shower. Get dressed then drive to work. On sundays I do my laundry, go to the grocery store then I go fishing
Late shift = Yawn, stretch, scratch, sh1t shave shower, uniform on, toast n coffee, work.
Early shift (Up at 5am) = Yawn, curse, stretch, curse, scratch, curse, kiss Bluepiglet's shoulder, S S S, uniform on, to work where at some point I grab coffee n bikkies.
Weekend = Morning? Be serious!
Hmmm, I can't be arsed with all the make up shit but I will get out of bed reluctantly after mt second alarm has gone off.
Have a shower, shampoo my hair every second day, brush the teeth then weigh myself.
I go downstairs and make my old dear and I our lunches. Obsessively wash my hands everytime I need to touch the bin.
Do a variety of stretches and core work for ten minutes.
Go back to the room and moisturise and use deodorant and get dressed as quickly as possible so I can read the daily mail or one of my books on the kindle while my husband gets dressed while lying on the bed. Hair is quickly plaited wet so we can get to work.
Early morning alarm, I crawl out of bed and into the shower, always feeling anxious about my weight but enjoying the warm water as I soak in the calm before preparing myself for battle. Piece by piece I slip on my armour until I feel strong enough to go and face the fight. Out of the shower to blow dry my hair and straighten it - should I have it up? Or wear it down? Or, I think maybe sloppy bun would look cute today. Eyeliner, mascara, sometimes glitter on my eyes so that it feels like a special day, lip gloss, moisturiser for face and legs, deodorant and body spray. Spend a long time in front of my wardrobe trying to choose the right outfit, then with no time for breakfast I turn out the light, walk to the front door, take a deep breath and face the day.
My morning routine:
-First thing, tea, spicy cocoa or lemon coffee while checking Tumblr, Facebook, Lush, etc. (15 minutes)
-Small breakfasty thing like yogurt or a banana (3 minutes)
-Brush teeth, take out retainer (3 minutes)
-On mornings when I floss, add another 2 minutes.
-Next, I put on makeup while naked. (20 minutes)
-Do my hair (5-8 minutes)
-Clothing (4 minutes)
