I try to do different relaxing routines, for example today I took a shower right after work, made a hair and a face mask and now drinking tea while listening to the rain outside and watching youtube

[@jordanwaddell]

Sounds amazing!

[@tamannamili7982]

I luv ur routine. That's the best ever :)

[@fatimaharkat5717]

What kind of hair mask are you using?

[@sabriyastewart8704]

That sounds lovely. I have a toddler and this just isn't feasible. Sometimes I can escape for 15mins if I put on his favorite show but before long he's calling for me to come play with him. My hubby works two jobs so it's just me and my little man most evenings.

Am I the only one who had to rewind and watch you and your husband smiling and laughing together again? You guys made me smile! Also the part where you and your best friend drove to the park LOL. Wholesome.

[@starian72]

Omgggg when your dog was rubbing his body on the grass haha so cute!

[@jordanwaddell]

Haha! I know he is goofy :)

[@olalila2173]

Finally something real. I feel like youtubers show a routine that isn't true. I loved yours though.

[@jordanwaddell]

Thank you! :)

You’re right ! You have to check my video ! And support me if you can 🙏🏻❤️❤️

[@gerrimiller3491]

Love your wonderful video😊i love to wash my containers as well as put my catholic litany church on and say the Rosary....so refreshing and relaxing too. Then have a cup🍵of green tea, put on fluffy socks and cook air fried bananas

[@JosephineOlah]

How? You do too much. When I come home from work I go straight to my bed. Everything from my neck to my feet hurt.

[@ajohonly3721]

Josephine yes when I was pregnant I even use to remove my make up on bus and literally drop dead on my bed 😂.

[@hananadel175]

Same ,,sleep

[@shirleyjones4041]

I know what you mean. I guess it depends when she finishes . I finish 7pm . And sometimes I'm late . You should like a hard worker like me . I'm usually aching . As we give too much . So don't be hard on yourself. Each to thier own . I clean up the weekend . And if it doesn't get done . I don't worry. I llve by myself .

[@eas40753]

Ajoh Wong You literally dropped dead? 😂😂

[@clintgunter]

Slicing up an apple and sprinkling cinnamon on it is so simple but sounds so good. I’m surprised I never thought of that before!

[@jordanwaddell]

Cinnamon is MAGIC! 😊

[@fitnessforhealthandhappine1746]

For me... Every day, you should ask yourself, what did I do to make tomorrow better? If you have this attitude, even if your life sucks, months, years later, you will be surprised how much better your life is. Plan, prepare, execute, evaluate, rinse and repeat and an awesome life just starts to occur naturally. It doesn't have to be groundbreaking change every day; it can be, reorganizing your closet. Many of us have too many first world "problems" and don't realize how lucky we are. I love how she has some routines, such as making tomorrow's lunch in the evening. If you don't have these routines, make a step change. Small changes add up. But NEVER STOP; constantly look for an opportunity to make tomorrow better. Smile, be happy and enjoy life!

[@jordanwaddell]

This is so inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

[@masnaniejumut8729]

Jordan your video is amazing^^ I love your de-stress routine. Mine is usually going for cardio and HIIT sessions after work. I love getting all sweaty, sore yet satisfied after the session. Then I'd go back home, shower & prepare a simple meal of pan seared salmon with spinach, tomatoes and sprinkle of parmesan cheese for taste. I eat while watching tv, bad habit I know but that's how I relax after a long day ^^

[@jordanwaddell]

I love your routine! I used to workout in the afternoon and miss that feeling...maybe I will try it again! Our rule is, if we can eat it from a bowl, we watch TV while eating dinner :) haha!

[@angelakneller2880]

My hubby makes me laugh too, which was much needed when we went through a tough time caring for his dad with dementia. The trouble came from ex sister in law not his dad. His dad now in a home and I do volunteer work at the local dementia support group that helped us soo much with my father in law.

[@Mara-ym5xj]

The liquorice&mint tea is one of my favourites too! So good😍

[@faabihakhan]

So much of daylight left even after work!

[@jordanwaddell]

Yes :) This was filmed during daylight savings time!

[@jamiehessler3869]

I just wanted to tell you that I am really enjoying your videos! I have been a vegan for year now and love how you are keeping it real! I work the grave yard shift I think I can apply this routine to my life style as well! Thanks for all your great ideas! 🤗

[@jordanwaddell]

Aw Jamie - thank you! Your comment made me smile :) Props to you for working grave yard shift. My husband Jack did it for a year and it was incredibly challenging. You are awesome!

[@janicekrol8320]

Puppy cuteness 🐶❤️!!! I make my spaghetti sauce the same way but I use fennel seeds to flavor the vegan crumbles.

[@jordanwaddell]

Ooo! Fennel sounds amazing.

[@EinGoRawr]

I like this after work routine!! My routine depends on the day. Sometimes alone with a book and other times video games or time with my husband. I LOVE spaghetti.

[@jordanwaddell]

Thank you! Isn't spaghetti the best?!

Thank you so much!

[@nottooherbal]

I'm looking forward to making some of your chickpea tuna salad. I must make some bread to go with it. Also I bought 1lb of nutritional yeast which I've never even tried before so perhaps I've got enough to last a life time and the use by date maybe a sword of Damocles hanging over my head. Luckily there are quite a lot of vegan recipes which call for it.

[@jordanwaddell]

I hope you like the chickpea tuna salad! I haven't made my own bread in a long time...but there is nothing better than homemade bread! The taste is incredible.

[@Rosalieburke]

Ok we are the same person 😂 right when I️ get home from Work I️ clean my dishes from my lunch box and put away dry ones, I️ don’t have a dog but I️ do play with my cat for a bit:) then I️ make dinner and I️ made brown rice noodles and homemade sauce too!!

[@jordanwaddell]

Aw thank you! :) Simple is my jam...Honestly my favorite salad combo would have to be a bed of lettuce + roasted sweet potatoes (seasoned with cumin or chili powder) + black beans + avocado + salsa. I just mix the salsa and avocado in to make the dressing!

[@jordanwaddell]

Some days I am more drained and definitely don't have the energy to do all these routines. It's so important for me to listen to my body and not give it what it needs. Sometimes that does include vegging out and watching Netflix!

What a beautiful place you live in! Do you have a video for people who work 12-hour shifts? It's dark when I leave for work and it's dark when I come home. I feel like winding down and relaxation is impossible. Thank you so much

[@jordanwaddell]

I've been 13 hour clinicals at the hospital and I completely agree - it is SO HARD especially in the winter. Our bodies rely on the cycle of light and dark for proper hormone regulation. So it's totally normal you're feeling wired by the time you get home. I have found chamomile tea and simplifying a night routine, like this one very helpful. Also finding an easy read - like a fiction book to read for 20 minutes before bed puts me right to sleep!

Thanks Melissa! It changes all the time, but I usually saute some onion and garlic then add some jarred marinara (I like Muir Glen brand or a local tomato sauce) and either brown lentils or Beyond Meat crumbles! Sometimes I add some peppers, carrots, celery or greens. If I want it spicy like I did here, I add some chili powder (1-2 tsp depending on how spicy you like it!)
