In this vlog, I’m doing a super fun morning routine swap with Gwen Elisse—like a little “live my life for a day” moment, but make it cozy. I take you through my Manila morning in my usual calm, aesthetic pace: waking up, getting myself together, and easing into the day without rushing. It’s the kind of routine that feels realistic for student/work days—simple steps, quiet moments, and small habits that make mornings feel softer. I also share how it feels to follow someone else’s routine and what I ended up taking from it. For me, the biggest takeaway is that you don’t need an intense checklist to have a good morning—just a few intentional things that help you feel grounded (and a little bit put together). If you love chill vlogs, living alone diaries, and routines that feel like a digital diary entry, this one’s for you. With love, chen 🤍
