I know how you feel.

Your mornings are incredibly rushed, leaving you feeling as if you're the only one in this chaos.

Well, what if I told you that you're not alone?

A study showed that 89% of us wish we had more time in the morning.

That's huuuge!

89% of us want to start our day feeling calm and ready to take on whatever the day might throw at us.

So, what can we do about it? 

The obvious option is, "wake up earlier".

But then you might say, "my sleep is too important".

So what if you can have both?

More time in the morning whilst getting enough sleep?

It's a win win.

With just a few tweaks to your routine, and some clever hacks, you could end up with a calmer morning, and possibly even time to spare…

Tip Of The Week: Morning Time-Saving Tips

1. Slow down: Rethink your morning ritual.

   Feeling rushed and skipping breakfast only sets a tone of stress for the day.

   Imagine instead having the time to enjoy a coffee and head out the door composed and ready.

   A calm morning can really enhance your daily mood and productivity!

2. Preparation: Organise your mornings the night before.

   Preparing things like your outfit, lunch and bag can save precious morning minutes.

   These small evening tasks can add up, giving you enough time to pause, enjoy a morning treat, and mentally prepare for the day’s challenges!

3. Streamline your beauty routine: Permanent makeup can drastically reduce how long you spend on makeup each morning.

   With techniques like lip blushing, brow defining, and more, you can wake up looking effortlessly polished.

   Couple this with regular skin treatments to keep your skin vibrant and healthy, minimising the need for extensive makeup application!

Healthy Recipe: Overnight Oats

Here’s a simple and nutritious overnight oats recipe that you can easily customise according to your taste. It's perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast that will keep you energised throughout the morning.

Recipe:

• 1/2 cup rolled oats

• 1/2 cup milk (any kind - dairy or plant-based)

• 1/2 cup Greek yoghurt (or alternative yoghurt to suit dietary needs)

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds

• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust sweetness to taste)

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

• Fresh fruits (banana, berries, apple slices)

• Nuts and seeds (almond slices, sunflower seeds)

• Nut butter (peanut, almond)

• Coconut flakes

• Spices (cinnamon, nutmeg)

Instructions:

1. Mix base ingredients:

   In a mason jar or a bowl, combine rolled oats, milk, Greek yoghurt, chia seeds, honey/maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir well to ensure everything is fully mixed.

2. Add flavours and toppings:

   Add your favourite fruits, nuts, or spices on top to mix in the morning or layer them in the night before for flavours to meld.

3. Seal and chill:

   Cover the jar or bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Place in the fridge overnight, or for at least 6 hours. This allows the oats to absorb the liquid and soften, making them creamy and delicious.

4. Stir and enjoy:

   In the morning, give the oats a good stir. If they're thicker than you like, you can add a little more milk to adjust the consistency.

5. Serve:

   Enjoy cold right out of the fridge, or warm them up for a cosy breakfast. Top with additional fresh fruits, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a dollop of nut butter before serving.
