My mornings kick off with a burst of energy between 10 and 10:30! I dive into the day cranking up my favorite J. Tajor tracks while I throw on my outfit (showers are a glamorous routine the night before). As I brush my hair and teeth, I turn on a delightful lineup of RomComs, because who doesn’t love a good laugh to set the tone?

Next, I hit shuffle on my Apple Music playlist, fingers crossed for a Zara Larsson jam to pop up so I can unleash my most enthusiastic, if not tone-deaf, rendition of “Can’t Tame Her”—it’s a morning must! Then, I indulge in some bunny-cutting action, snipping a few lettuce leaves and watching my adorable fluffball go wild for the fresh salad I crafted, complete with only the finest shredded carrots. He’s a little food snob, and I love it!

Post-bunny pampering, I whip my hair into sleek curls with my flatiron, pack half my room into my trusty backpack, and if I’m lucky enough to catch a moment before the bus rolls in, I turn up the volume and dance like nobody’s watching! Music is my secret sauce for an epic day, keeping my spirit alive even when I can’t jam at work. It’s all about kicking off the day with excitement and good vibes!
