Honestly, I've really streamlined my routine ALOT over the past year. I try to really choose what's most important for me to accomplish during my time when the kids are at school, and when they are home from school I'm in full Mom mode (helping with homework, playing outside, cooking dinner etc.) I very rarely film those moments because I'm just trying to be in the moment. I try to balance my energy with house work, business, and also my own personal growth and development (self care). This is an example of my personal routine aside from my family time.
Four Sigma Recommendations & Tips: I recommend sticking with Chaga in the morning to start the day off right, Cordyceps before being active (or for an energy boost without the caffeine!), Lion's Mane when you need some help concentrating during work, and Reishi in the evening as the best kind of night cap. All of the mushrooms can also be consumed throughout the day, whenever they are needed most! The entire catalog is vegan and gluten-free!

Such a laid back feminine video. When you take quality time without rushing, the energy is far beyond words.

So true

[@beautynerd5918]

Thanks for sharing! Just a suggestion from one parent to another... try to pack their backpacks & lunches, prep breakfast by cooking oatmeal or chopping fruit the day before. Then all you have to do is heat & serve in the morning. This way you and the kids get more time together to eat, chat, & just bond in the morning...maybe even a few more minutes of sleep. It will be less stressful if things are done ahead of time. Get the kids in on the action...have them take responsibility in packing their backpacks and/or lunches so all you have to do is check that they did it. Pick out your outfit for the next day & pack your purse/tote bag with the items you need for the next day (water bottle, gym clothes, iPad, jacket, umbrella, etc) and put it in the car along with the backpacks. Only pack your car ahead of time if it sits in a secure garage (you don’t want to tempt car thieves). If your car sits outside then leave your purse & backpacks by the door. Get the kids in the habit as well of picking out their outfit ahead of time. This way mornings are calmer because no one is running around trying to find a clean shirt or a missing sock. Get them to look up the weather & their schedule so they can make better choices about their outfits...do they need a jacket or umbrella or do they need their sports uniform cleaned or special field trip outfit? It gets them in the habit of thinking ahead & being more independent. Hope it helps!🙂

[@Mzl079]

Beauty Nerd This is such an amazing comment! Soo many well thought of ideas!! Thank you for sharing!

[@foxxyloxxyxo]

Beauty Nerd I absolutely agree! My boys are 14 & 12 now! They are completely independent; however, that’s due to creating a routine over the years for them to have them pack up their backpacks as soon they finish their homework; set out their clothes for the next day, make/help prep their lunches for the next day; set out their shoes and jackets for the next day. Overall it makes your morning run smother and stress free. Now that my boys are older, we listen to the news together and discuss politics and other issues. Other times we just talk about things going at school or I tell them stories from my childhood... 😉

[@annadrenic902]

Such an awesome comment, you should share your advices on youtube! 😃

[@shannonpotts356]

Beauty Nerd such a good tip! My kids aren’t school age yet but I will log this in my mind bank to use later.

[@kimnham]

I am also the mom who makes everyone’s breakfasts and forgets hers! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Lately what I have been doing once the kids are off to school is I’ll light up a candle THEN fix my breakfast while listening to something motivational. My little “me time” 😌

[@clan_fraser19]

Hey Rachel! I've been subscribed to you since before you had little Oliver. I just wanted to say that your videos always make me feel grounded and remind me of the importance of being balanced and having healthy routines. Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos. I'm 25 and don't have kids yet myself, but I feel inspired by you and the way you manage it all! Keep up the amazing work girl x

[@lylky]

I love your personality. You are so truthful and straightforward. I wish you all the best.

[@Jennnnnyyy8D]

I loved that you mentioned you called your mom, it’s a good reminder that catching up with family regularly is important. 💕

[@Skhan-nl2xu]

Jennnnnyyy8D my day starts with calling my mom and sister and having breakfast...and when she is busy i feel like my day is not starting on the right foot...love love love my tight knit family ❤️

[@ArmednotTriggered]

You have such a beautiful life, but I appreciate how realistic/ relatable you are. You inspire me so much, Rachel. Thank you for always motivating me and reminding me to set aside time for self-care. ❤ I love plants too. Most of our house doesn't have proper lighting for plants, so our master bathroom is a complete jungle. What are husbands for if not to keep our freezing cold feet warm?! 🤣

[@charlos7040]

It would be so cool to have a video with your mom! I love hearing about how much she influences you and your relationship. :) Thank you for your videos!

[@BetterSaul12]

Exactly same!! I get so cold when I'm not doing much physical work,specifically before bed. I like to warm my bed before sleeping. I also take a hot water bag while I sleep

[@odonata9838]

Amazing video as always, Rachel! For me, watching this is a cross between an act of self-care, a form of education, and enjoying a work of art. Your Four Sigmatic presentation was the only one I've watched that didn't seem fake/forced.

[@elfot3538]

[@JanelleK-vm7js]

The message in this video was great. You can't take care of your family if you don't first take care of yourself. A happy and healthy mom is very important. However, maybe make it less about products you use, especially since not everyone can afford $64 coffee and cocoa. I quit my job a year ago to stay home with my son cutting our income in half. It was my choice to have less "things" so I could have more time with my son. Raising him to be kind, thoughtful, and that no matter how bad the world gets, to not contribute to the bad. This was my first video I've watched of yours but the pushing of incredibly expensive coffee didn't sit well with me. To be relatable to all groups of moms, you have to understand that not everyone has the same type of budget. Thanks!

[@sunnyday_lemonbars]

No one is making you buy expensive coffee. Just bc she uses this, she isn't making you do it. This is *her* routine and she's keeping it real. You can choose to think for yourself and buy regular coffee.

[@JanelleK-vm7js]

@@sunnyday_lemonbars Thank you so much for your advice. I never thought about that.... I was simply saying it's off-putting when she pushes through the whole video expensive coffee. She could have mentioned it once and moved on but through the whole video? What I said did not warrant a response, it was a friendly suggestion on how to be more relatable to all types of moms, and I didn't say it in a rude way. But thank you for your suggestions on making my own choices. Have a wonderful day!

[@OrganizedChaosRabiahAhmed]

My favourite part - it doesn't always look like a youtube video! If only people knew what goes into making a KZbin (good and boy your videos are GOOD) video! Please please please make one about how you film one!

[@lunanova369]

It sounds hella extra, & I prob would've balked if someone had said this to me prior, but Himalayan Salt Lamps make waking up early SO MUCH EASIER & NICER! Something about the warm, soft, non-harsh lighting makes the transition into waking life so much nicer and smoother. Makes it feel warm and cozy.😌 (Which is why a tiny space heater is also a must for me because the bathroom is always freezing cold.) Making the area warm and cozy makes waking up a pleasant experience you look forward to rather than dread! I swear by it. I have a Himalayan Salt Lamp in every room of my house! Even my bathroom! (Showering with only that for your light is amazing. Makes you feel like a small fire is lighting up the room.)

Angie Barrera she’s using an amethyst gemstone mat. She did a video last summer. Gemstone mat is in the title of the video, so I’m sure if you searched that under her page it would go right to it. There she posted a link to some research behind them, and I also think she linked the mat she uses!

[@shannonpotts356]

I recently learned you can “train” your taste buds. If you eat a lot of processed sugar or salt, plain foods will taste bland. Recently my husband and I cut out all sugar and it’s like I can actually taste foods again! I’m not just looking for sweet or salty, I can taste the flavors that are there.
