Last year, I overhauled my morning routine in the universal attempt to get out of the rut that was 2020. I started journaling, DIYing celery juice, and stretching before the workday started. For a while, this morning makeover made me feel like a brand new woman. The journaling helped me stay motivated, the celery juice helped my digestion, and stretching helped my body wake up. But after a while, these things just started to feel, well, boring. Journaling seemed uninspiring, celery juice started tasting bland, and stretching felt like a chore. The truth is that sometimes, even when habits and routines are good for us, they can start to feel mundane.

Mornings are hard, and getting out of your warm, cozy bed for the stressful day that awaits you is even harder. But we all deserve to wake up every morning feeling energized, excited, and happy. The trick (besides getting a full seven to nine hours of sleep the night before): making your mornings a little more special. If your usual morning routine feels boring, shop the products below that will make you excited to get out of bed (no celery juice necessary). 

 

Equilibria
Dynamic Roller Duo

These genius little rollers are my secret weapon for getting out of bed in the morning or staying energized throughout the day. If I need a little more energy (like right before a big meeting or if I'm feeling an afternoon slump), I pull out the Energy Roller from my desk drawer for an instant boost. I also keep the Calming Roller by my bed to use before I sleep or whenever I'm feeling anxious or stressed. Massaging it into my temples or on pulse points can make a huge difference in my mood, thanks to 75mg of CBD per roller and essential oils. Both of these rollers work on a topical level to relieve pressure points, regulate mood, and ease topical discomfort. Trust me, you're going to want both.

8Greens
Green Tablets

TBH, while celery juice is still a practice I love, the ritual started feeling so boring because it just took a lot of work (I mean, homemade green juice every morning? I'm exhausted just thinking about it!). If you're like me and love the feeling of taking care of your body but hate the effort it takes, I have the answer for you. 8Greens is an Everygirl editor favorite because of the delicious taste, amazing nutrients, and plant ingredients.

Hair Dryer & Volumizer Hot Air Brush

What's more motivating to get out of bed than knowing you're going to have a great hair day?

This hot air brush is not only easier and less steps than a full blow dry and curling routine, but you'll also have that just-got-a-blowout look throughout the rest of your day. Now that's worth waking up for.

Milk Frother

One of the changes in my morning routine that has stuck is frothing my creamer. It sounds like such a simple step, but frothed milk immediately turns a cold cup of coffee into a decadent latte or delicious cappuccino. My coffee is no longer a necessity—it's my favorite morning luxury.
