Good morning and welcome to Classy Classic’s By Kandis! I am I stay at home mom of 4 kids, two of them are in school, one is going to be starting play school in the fall, and one is still at home for a couple years.
With summer holidays slowly coming to an end already… I thought I’d better start setting my alarm and getting my morning routine going again. I always have a morning routine but I have been finding myself being a little more cranky would not getting up before the kids and getting my time in first.
I thought what a better blog post then a morning routine when I’m trying to get back into my morning routine. Now a morning routine doesn’t have to be a big thing, you don’t need to get up early or try to before the kids get up! However, I do! lol! I truly love morning coffee before the storm!
My morning routines I try to keep very basic, I try to keep it as me relaxed, prepping for the day as I can. I find I get a lot more antsy and my patience is not real great if I don’t take trying to wake up and start my own day before littles because, they’re the ones that need the most attention in the morning right, before they get up and start LOL!
A habit that I had started and am trying to keep every morning is to wash up and get myself ready-ish for the day! I try to have a coffee, get dressed and wash up!
With my morning routine I have a wonderful line from Monat! These products are amazing and with 3 kinds of skin care lines there is one for everyone! I use “BE BALANCED” which is targeted for normal and combined skin! There is also a line for oily and sensitive skin! There is hair, and skin care, junior line and a new men’s line!
I will leave a link for any monat products, there is something for all hair hair and skin types and this is a line that is used by all ages in my house lol.
Let’s talk getting ready and what I use and love in the morning! 🌄
Let’s start with coffee in the morning I guess! Where else does one start?
I had a tim Horton coffee pot it’s a Bunn type!?!? lol What I can tell you is that I pour water in and with the hot water tank on the back always ready it takes a LOT less time and will make my pot of coffee in roughly 5 minutes! We have been using tim hortons coffee grounds for a couple years and that is now my go to home coffee!
I then try to wash up and brush my teeth and possibly brush my hair!
The products that I use to wash up and hopefully wake up in the morning are:
be balanced face wash
normal and combined skin for skin that likes balanced moisture and oil for a large open pores and age control
be balanced lightweight moisturizer
normal combined skin for skin that lacks balanced hydration for loss of radiance, firmness and elasticity helps with softness and smoothness I use this one in the morning I have a different one that I use for bedtime. this can be used night and day tho.

A lightweight miracle water that quickly hydrates and replenishes, giving a smoother, brighter, more radiant complexion to all skin types

eye smooth

This is how I get ready for the morning or the most mornings! I then have my chores with my morning routine. I will get dressed, make my bed, work in my planner, get breakfast ready for whatever kids are up then…. it is still summer break!
This is part of my me time for in the mornings! There is a new season coming with school coming back in, and the kids getting bigger!
I had thought I better get going on the basics of the mornings, my kids are back in school in less then 3 weeks!
I am hoping to get school supplies done and some school cupboards organized and cleaned!
What are you doing to prepare for back to school?
Do you prep or go with it?
I hope you liked this blog on my me time getting ready to tackle a day with the kids!

Head over and come say hi!
A new chapter is starting again, I had bounced back and forth on what to do with the page! I then remembered why I started and love the blog!
