My 5AM Morning Routine | Productivity & Self Care

[@TonyHaawko]

When I was working on my depression healing, slow morning routine was a game changer! And it was very similar to yours. Thanks for a reminder and inspiration : )

[@Veggiekins]

That is actually how I came to love watching sunrises. I was diagnosed with depression in highschool and had no motivation to even continue to go to school or get out of bed. My therapist at the time suggested I create a habit of watching sunrise every day to physically motivate myself to get up, and appreciate something beautiful first thing in the AM. Changed my life!

[@joymae]

It’s so hard for me to get up at 5 AM when it’s so dark and cold out but I’ll try after watching this video.

[@Veggiekins]

I feel you!!! It's definitely more difficult because our bodies naturally respond to the light cues too--if you're really struggling you could experiment with a light based alarm clock that mimics sunrise light exposure, or just allow your body to do its winter thing and shift a few hours ;)

[@creativehub660]

Me who sleeps at 5am : "interesting" :) Great video btw!

[@langtieu1504]

lmao I'm dead =)))

[@Veggiekins]

Hahahahahah!!!! Hey, to each their own!!! :P As long as it works for you

[@zainatahir7614]

I sleep at 5:00 too 🤣

[@alistair.in.wonderland]

Girl I just love you so much. 30 seconds of watching you and I'm smiling for the rest of the day 😁

[@Veggiekins]

I LOVE YOUU aww ❤️ this made my day

[@munchingwithmariyah]

aaaah yess!!!! This year finally made it to the 5 am club..changed my level of productivity forever!

[@ClarisseDeGuzman]

I love how calm and motivated this made me feel. Your morning routine is so peaceful ♥️

[@Veggiekins]

I'm so glad! ^__^ calm mornings are the best way to start the day IMO

[@tallulahbilton2677]

Just came across your channel... wow your editing is out of this world!! And absolutely love the little bloopers at the end as I couldn't help myself from thinking this is just so flipping perfect, my morning certainly isn't going to look like this!

[@Veggiekins]

Omg thank you Tallulah! That means so much :')

[@AnnasStyleDictionary]

Wishing everyone who reads this a wonderful New Year’s eve and hope you can enjoy some time with your family ❤️ sending lots of love from a small KZbinr ❤️❤️

[@Veggiekins]

Happy new year!!

[@petroviciandrada6558]

Love this so much! You're the reason I actually switched from coffee to matcha and I don't regret a thing

[@Veggiekins]

Aw I am so glad!!!!!!! :')

[@chiaramaryhelen]

those drone shots were so gorgeous 😊 oh and like the entire video aesthetic was perfectly on point

[@Veggiekins]

Thank you so much!! The weekend home we stayed at was just beyond gorg ^__^

[@micapabia8167]

I love how soothing and peaceful your morning routine is! 🥺🖤

[@Veggiekins]

Thank you Mica! Puts me in the right energy for the rest of the day ^__^

[@eada4771]

this makes me actually feel excited to wake up at 5am rather than dread it!

[@Veggiekins]

I love that! That's the way to look at it for sure.

[@allthehui]

Omg I’m so early! Literally watching your last vlog and I guess I’ll watch this one next 🥰 love how chill and positive your content is, Remy! I’m not even vegan, nor looking to be, just here for the ~uplifting~ vibes.

[@Veggiekins]

Aw I love that!!! All love here 🤍🤍🤍😗🥰

[@allthehui]

Also to answer your question, I’m sitting here watching my morning routine at 11am. Definitely not an early bird 😅

[@jessicafrazer8872]

I tend to start at 7 on break and 5 for school!! I love these videos because I learn so much and become intentional. Thank you!!💕💕

[@Veggiekins]

I love that! I try to start a little later when I'm able to (holidays etc.) if my body doesn't wake me up lol!

[@missk4934]

One of the best morning routines that I’ve seen!💛✨☀️

[@Veggiekins]

Aw thanks so much Kim!!!!

[@nehamarenat]

yay! i've been waiting for this video! i LOVE morning routines and just mornings in general because it starts your day and you can make your whole day amazing just from one morning. these types of videos also inspire me to be productive and give me new ideas for my morning routine. happy new year and thank you for your awesome content

[@Veggiekins]

You're the best! Thank YOU for watching. I so agree that there is so much power in mornings and the way you start the day 🌿🤘🏼

[@jodiequaglia1048]

This was great! Working remotely I have more time to try to incorporate a routine to my mornings. However, once I return to commuting to work and am on a tight schedule, it might be difficult to keep up with. I always find myself in a rush when I have to commute. 😩

[@eada4771]

PS sunrise is my fave part of the day too :)

[@Veggiekins]

SUCH a beautiful time of day

[@anniemack2560]

That matcha making is art 😍 i’d be down to switch if I could do it like that

[@TrulyBeauty]

love this routine! so energizing ⭐️😍

[@Veggiekins]

♥️♥️

[@ryukyuprincess9621]

I feel that with your body waking you up really early no matter what 😂 I don’t wake up as early as you, but for some reason my body always wakes me up at like 8 or 9, even when I try to sleep in for some reason 🥴 I really enjoyed this video! It was really chill and now I want to eat blueberry oatmeal tomorrow for breakfast haha

[@meredithellen620]

I'm so excited I found your channel 😭 you are So lovely 🥺❤️✨

[@Veggiekins]

Thank you so much!! This is so sweet :')

[@shaunayuan]

I just ordered a tonic with red raspberry leaf + nettle in it from wooden spoon herbs! so excited for it to arrive and to start making moon teas too 😊🧡

[@Veggiekins]

Omg enjoy!!! ♥️♥️

[@lillybynoe2939]

your nails are so pretty!! loved the video too!

[@Crows_zer0]

This was so motivational! Could you link the daily vitamins organizer you use, please? It's so cute!

[@thisthatTAM]

Link is in her description 😁

[@BriannahHoward]

I woke up at 5 AM last school year ( 7th grade) and me and 2 of my friends would FT. They dropped me and it was a blessing in disguise. I’m now I’m 8th grade and struggling to wake up. I’m a gymnast training levels 7/8 and need to get my life together. Mainly the eating part. But my morning is a disaster. I wake up at 6-6:30 now and I have to leave by 7:30 and I walk to school every morning and have to be there by 7:45. I need to wake up earlier. So tomorrow I will wake up at 5 AM and update everyday! ( like this to help remind me )

[@wem6068]

i love ur videos so much pls never stop making them!! i’ve learned a lot from you and have changed a lot in my eating habits :)

[@Veggiekins]

Thank you so much!! This is so sweet

[@julianna.3852]

hey remy!! i have been watching your videos throughout the year and I absolutely love them 💗💗 this video was exactly what I needed to help remind me to restart my morning routine for the new year ✨

[@melissanichole8184]

You get a thumbs up for the stuffy in the bed and hormone tracking. You seem like a cool person!

[@Veggiekins]

Hahahaha!!! Thanks Melissa 🤣 the sloth comes with me no matter what 🤍

[@fredrikagranholm]

You are such an inspiration! 💗 Thanks to you I have some new goals and motivation for my morning routine 2021

[@Veggiekins]

I'm so glad! Here's to many more sunrises in 2021

[@BarbCatarina]

Love this! Thanks for sharing. I wish my body would naturally wake me up early 😅😅ive been fixing my morning and night routine to make it easier for me to wake up early but its still a struggle

[@Veggiekins]

I hear you!! I think part of it is definitely habit and maybe just human nature too--my boyfriend for example just cannot wake up early no matter what LOL!

[@doodlesandcalm]

5am is crazy! So inspired. I barely manage 7am.

[@Veggiekins]

Honestly whatever time works for you is best! Most important thing is just to make some time for yourself in the morning ♥️

[@DetailsChristine]

I love your cozy knit set! Can you please link 😍😍😍

[@Veggiekins]

Hi Dani!! It's from SKIMS :) I think it might be sold out rn tho :(

[@anahiimeza]

That oatmeal looked so yummy, also since I’ve been on a pistachio kick 😅🙌🏻

[@Veggiekins]

AHH love pistachios!!!

[@anahiimeza]

@@Veggiekins ME TOO! And pistachio ice cream...DIVINE! 😍 Do you have a recipe for a dairy free pistachio ice cream? Because my childhood self misses it...without the ache of dairy of course :’)

[@meredithmorse2072]

That matcha pour!! :)

[@Veggiekins]

always so satisfying ♥️

[@EliBrecher]

Love this morning routine! I bet this would set me up so well for the day ahead 🥰🥰

[@Veggiekins]

I definitely think so! :)

[@pprriicceeqquuiinn]

I love this. You inspired me to wake up early and create a routine

[@Veggiekins]

I'm so glad! It's so empowering to set aside time every day for YOU and nice to have those moments to yourself before the world wakes up and starts demanding things from you and e-mailing you :P!!

[@tayzau]

This was so peaceful 🥰

[@Veggiekins]

Thank you Taylor!!! ^__^

[@Slimcognito858]

I love your videos!

[@louisenilsson8951]

Moving meditation is great. I do it running or walking.

[@Veggiekins]

Agreed!!! :) Long walks are growing on me lately

[@kristenconger]

Aw I loved this girl!!

[@Veggiekins]

Thank you!!! So glad 😭

[@Leen-ke8uj]

this motivated me not to use my phone as soon as i wake up, i have to work on this before finals start so i can be productive throughout the day and study well

[@Veggiekins]

It’s my biggest problem! Especially since I know I have to be on the phone all day doing work 🤣

[@carolynmarshall1968]

🇬🇧 You should air your bed before you make it. I get up pull my covers back and open the window, once I’ve had my breakfast I then go and make it 😀

[@Veggiekins]

Love that idea!

[@felicity9128]

Exactly the video i needed today 🤍

[@Veggiekins]

I'm so glad, thank you Felicity! Happy Sunday

[@shlysnky]

Do you have a tutorial video on your matcha latte? 🥰 🍵

[@monica4545]

[@Veggiekins]

Definitely will soon!! ♥️

[@SunkissedEden]

Love how aesthetic your environment is 😍 random q: can you tell me where you got your gold hoops from? ✨

[@Veggiekins]

It's such a gorgeous weekend home right? The gold hoops are from Madewell

[@SunkissedEden]

@@Veggiekins so gorge! Thanks so much btw ✨ also I resonate with the whole trying to figure out hormones thing. Have you heard of organic olivia? She has amazing herbal supplements for a variety of purposes ☺️🌿

[@erinsbooks]

Hope you had a good holiday, Remy!

[@Veggiekins]

Happy holidays Erin!!!

[@AlissaintheCity]

So inspiring. What a lovely morning routine. Do you happen to know what sifter that is for the matcha? I'm struggling to find one that isn't too big or too small! Xoxo

[@Veggiekins]

I got mine from ippodo! but if you go to any tea store and look for one for matcha specifically they might be the right size 🌞🤍

[@angiej7804]

How do you stay motivated to exercise ? Xxx

[@Veggiekins]

My favourite thing about it is how good it makes me feel, I don't think of it as exercise but as a treat for my body. I know moving gets the blood flowing, feels great and improves my mood. I associate exercise with positive thoughts only and avoid thinking of it as a punishment or something I "have" to do (e.g. because I ate poorly or whatever the case may be). I also got into a serious accident last year and wasn't able to move for months, which really made me appreciate movement for what it is.

[@lucysilvestriofficial3287]

This wasn’t filmed at 4 or 5 in the morning with it being winter outside that window I wait up at 6 and still can’t see outside.

[@Veggiekins]

No it wasn’t. Like you said it’d be a black screen if it was 😂

[@jsignatures9739]

❤️❤️❤️ MOREEEE 💙💙💙

[@jillianrose8097]

Hi, love this video! Could you possibly tell me where those lovely drinking glasses are from? Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

[@Veggiekins]

[@megangarcia2126]

Thanks for the video! Can you link the cute pill container you use?

[@Veggiekins]

Yes! Definitely :) I'll add it to the description box

[@monikabiernat1830]

Where did you get that fuzzy white set you were wearing in this video 😭 I love it

[@Veggiekins]

I got it from skims! But I bought it secondhand 💕

[@inagadda1976]

Curious question. In general, how long does your routine take? I have been working on establishing a morning routine for a while. My job starts at 6 am. I am definitely more of a morning person than I used to be. But I am not as functional in the morning lol I would like to do some kind of exercise in the morning but my life won’t let me go to bed any earlier than 9 pm and on the few mornings I have gotten a workout in , I was up and moving before 4 am. But typically I am up between 4 and 4:30 am Something tends to happen more times a week than it doesn’t to detail my workout plans in the afternoon. I’m working on it lol XO Davita.

[@Veggiekins]

For me personally (excluding working out) it can be as quick as 15min - roll out of bed, flip the covers back up, brush, guasha, body brush, drink my matcha while journaling (usually 5-6 min) and the workout is separate :) But I would always prefer to wake up earlier to make time for it because something about waking up with time to spare always puts me in a better mood!

[@sonadhillon]

I love Matcha as well. Do u drink iced matcha in the winters as well?

[@Veggiekins]

Depends on my mood!

[@lizziesmultifandom2034]

Relatable

[@spanishDoll1]

Vegan food is (usually) very light on your stomach too, no heavy saturated animal fats

[@Veggiekins]

Yes, definitely compared to conventional non-vegan food! I more meant no sugar crashes because I know a lot of people have energy slumps and I usually attribute it to more highly processed refined foods :)

[@annamattie4591]

Hey! Where is the fuzzy white top and bottom set from that you're wearing from? It looks cozy!

[@Veggiekins]

It's from Skims :)

[@MystressOfheStars]

New here, cute, inspirational video !

[@Veggiekins]

Aw thanks so much Genevieve!

[@Keviaism]

What dry brush do you use? The one I bought beats me up.

[@Lordymimi]

My body naturally wakes me up at 7am. Work day or not.

[@Veggiekins]

SAME, always early and it's a blessing but also a curse lol

[@livgrace2797]

can you link the journal that you used? it looks really cool and i would love to try it

[@Veggiekins]

Definitely! I'll add it to the description box now

[@Veggiekins]

Honestly as long as it works for you, it doesn't matter what time you wake up :) Ideally if you can make a liiittle time for self care or just to have to yourself before the day starts, I think that's more important than what time it is!

[@sararibera9356]

What are the benefits of hibiscus tea?

[@Veggiekins]

I included notes in the blogpost, check it out! 💕

[@balancinglifewithem]

Is it okay to just use individual tea bags of these different combined teas?

[@Veggiekins]

Hey Emily! The moon tea I make is made with loose herbs, I'm not sure if they have individual tea bags of the ingredients I used, and matcha doesn't come in tea bags but as always, do what works for you!

[@balancinglifewithem]

They do! I’ve bought each one in individual tea bags I just wanted to know If it would be just as effective

[@Veggiekins]

@@balancinglifewithem wow how cool! I personally am not sure since I’m not familiar but what might be easier (and cheaper) is to buy a teabag made with all of the herbs already if that makes sense :) traditional medicinals for example has one called healthy cycle I think? Anyway, curious to hear what works!

[@balancinglifewithem]

@@Veggiekins I’m using traditional medicinal tea! Nettle, raspberry and hibiscus. I’m still trying to find oatstraw! I will look into the cycle one and let you know how it goes
