Give us a day in your life. What is your typical day from morning to night? Any rituals?
I wake up every morning around 6 am. I’m the first one to wake. My daughter gets up around 7:30 am and my man works well past midnight most nights so he sleeps until around 7 am. That first hour I just breathe and sometimes will take a moment to visualize something I look forward to happening. I try to focus on being happy and thankful, even if it’s for just a moment when I wake because I know it’s important to set a tone for my day. All of this thought process happens right away and then I’m on my phone scrolling Instagram and Twitter, reading business articles online, and forwarding relevant ones to my partners. Then, my daughter wakes up and we cuddle in bed for a while. This is a highlight of the day. Then, it’s time to get up and get going. If I’m in workout mode however, I wake up put my running shoes on, and get out of the door before I can talk myself out of it. Then, I do my visualizations while I move my butt.
This is really good for me because I clear my head when I’m outside alone like that. I should do that more often! The rest of the day is always in one form of production either writing or prep for a shoot or we are shooting. I’m also working on acting roles and art projects at the same time. I do my best to get something definitively accomplished before my daughter gets home from preschool. Dinner time is family time and nighttime is another segment of the day to squeeze some work in for the many projects we are doing. By 11 pm I’m pretty tired and gotta get my beauty sleep going. I’m not a woman who has a nightly beauty ritual. I just keep my face clean. I do sleep on a satin pillowcase because I don’t like wrapping my hair at night. It’s not very sexy ya know? I will do it if I really need to protect a specific style but otherwise it’s me and my satin pillowcase – hair free for play.
