In this video I’m taking you with me for my 5AM *realistic* first day back to school morning routine (UK teen edition), and I’m not sugar-coating anything. I literally do this video every couple of months thinking I’ll suddenly be excited to go back… and I never am. My sleep schedule was messed up, I was shocked I was even awake, and I was just trying to get through it without losing my mind. I start with skincare and hygiene to wake myself up, then I do a little bit of makeup because I was actually on time for once. I chat you through the real school-morning stress like timing (I don’t leave till 7:15 and my bus stop is basically a 1 minute walk), and my unpopular opinion about breakfast… even though I ended up taking it back and eating a proper meal. I do my hair (my braids are getting old so I did a side part, clipped it out my face, and laid my edges with my gummy edge control), then I layer my perfumes before I put my jacket on because it’s literally freezing outside. Of course the bus got delayed too, but that’s first day back vibes. If you need motivation, routine inspo, or you’re just nosy like me, this one’s for you.
