Hello, my dolls. Welcome back to the Busy Yet Pretty Podcast. I'm your host, Jaden Haley. I am just so into fall right now, guys. This is this episode is literally the perfect episode for anybody who loves fall, loves morning routines, or is looking to improve their morning routine and feel more of the fall season. Let's get straight to the weekly review. This week, I have been really prioritized, feeling better. I've been home all. week in San Diego and I'm so excited just to get back on track but I really have been trying to take it slow as you know my health has been up and down but I'm feeling good and really ready to get back and better than ever. Another thing this week on the weekly recap is I went to Julian. It's a cute small town in California which is about like an hour away from San Diego. Let me tell you it is so cute. They're known for their like famous pies but it really just made me. me feel like fall and the leaves were orange. It was just so beautiful. This year I'm really trying to make the conscious effort to be present in the seasons and really embrace the seasons because

fall and winter only come once and I really do want to feel all the exciting holiday spirit that is in the air. Another thing this week is I've been really trying to get fresh air, getting outside and really trying to touch base with nature. And lastly, I have just been enjoying my time. with the family. As I've been home, it's been so nice to visit with my family and just feel a big hug from everybody, but I'm ready to get back on track, which I'm very excited to this week. Moving on to my current obsessions. My current obsession right now is iced tea, literally so good. I'm burnt out from coffee and it's been almost three weeks since I drink matcha, since I've been cautious with it for my kidneys. So iced tea right now has just been my current

obsession and it's so good. Another current obsession is off the shoulder sweaters. I think they're so cute and comfortable and I just love how they look. I feel like they give 2013 fall girl vibe in like the satire way but also looks so clean and classy and the 2023 way. I'm just obsessed to say the least. My next current obsession right now is literally peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I mash up fruit for the jam and then you can put honey with it and then I put almond butter. So it's actually almond butter fruit sandwiches. I really recommend you try it. It is so good.

I ate six of them yesterday. My last current obsession is taking things slow and really caring for myself, which is always an obsession. Moving on to my goal of the week. My goal of the week right now is to practice more of my permit quizzes. I have been practicing driving with my mom in an empty parking lot and not going to lie, I am pretty good and I feel confident and ready to ditch the passenger princess title and become a darling driver. Another goal of the week right now is starting Pilates again.

I have not worked out in a month and I just miss movement and Pilates so I'm really excited to get back on track. And my last goal of the week is to make more soups. I love soups. I am a soup girl. I love soups because they're healthy and just reminds me of the holiday season. Next step is an affirmation. I go to bed with peace and happiness every night. I love that affirmation so much and I really recommend affirming that to yourself.

Next up is a self-love question. Do you allow time to rest and recharge after school or work in your overall day? I love that question so much because it really reminds us to be present and allow us to rest and recharge after having a day of work, school, or just having any task that you've done. Next up is a challenge. The challenge is, take five minutes per morning to quickly organize your space. I love that challenge so much.

I implement that in my life and I see such a difference with organization and just how everything is controlled. So I really challenge you to that and start incorporating a little five minute morning clean into your routine. Lastly is a podcast review. This review is from self-love Barbie. She titled it, Jaden,

Barbara Barbie. And her review says, I discovered this podcast in January of 2022. I remember thinking podcasts were boring and bland, but this one really spoke to me. I stopped listening for a while and picked it back up again in April of 2022. I had some extremely toxic friends and was going through a bad period of mental health. I dealt with the death of two important family members in my family during that time. When I tell you, this podcast changes lives, I mean it. I've discovered Pilates, affirmations, how to be single and happy, healthy recipes, methods to work harder, and best of all, self-love throughout my time listening to Busy at Pretty. I found new friends who love and support me, and life may not be perfect, but at least I can count on a new podcast episode each week. Jaden, you are such an inspiration and you deserve to have all your Pinterest boards come true.

I found this podcast over Pinterest. This is why I write that you are not only a doll, but a Barbie. Thank you so much for guiding me to be the best Busy Yet Pretty version of my stuff. I know I always say this, but this is one of the sweetest reviews I've ever read in my life. I have tears in my eyes. My heart is touched right now. Words cannot explain how incredibly strong you are from dealing with death, toxic friends, and mental health. You are such an inspiration and thank you so much for your kind words, but truly it was all your work.

And I love you so much, my busy yet pretty girl. Reading your guys' reviews make my life just so happy. and so motivate to continue the podcast, which is why I want to hear everyone's reviews. So if you want to share your story and how busy yet pretty helped you, feel free to share a review over Apple Podcasts. It is finally now time to talk about today's episode. Today we're going to talk about how to create a flawless fall morning routine, a perfect morning routine for the fall that suits you and not only keeps you happy and motivated, but really prioritizes self-care and being present in the holiday season. is nothing that I love more than routines and having a full organized day. And with fall officially here,

I can't believe it's now October, it's crazy, but with fall officially here, I'm just so ready to switch to a new routine. Maybe you had a outgoing summer going to parties, going out, but fall is really the perfect reminder to begin to slow down. Maybe it's time you ditch the late night parties, the late night activities, and stay in, get in bed early, and really cater to your own needs. It's time for you to create a fall morning routine that truly excites you, not anyone else, doesn't copy anyone else. This is for you and what fits your schedule, life, and needs. As I always say, your morning routine begins with your nighttime routine. However you choose to spend your night and go about your night will reflect how your morning routine is going to go.

A good night's rest will live. literally change your life, and I'm not just saying this. I promise you a good night's rest is going to shape your day up for the most success and happiness. Being on your phone and scrolling on TikTok for hours at one in the morning is a temporary happiness, okay? Temporary. And how is that temporary? It's because when you wake up, you're going to feel awful in the morning. You're going to feel gross from scrolling on your phone so much. You're not going to feel good. You're going to feel tired, you didn't get enough sleep. So it's time to prioritize your night routine when you want to actually improve your morning routine. When you wake up in the morning, do not reach for your phone.

Okay, I'm guilty of this. We all are. There is not one day. I literally don't reach for my phone. But something that I've been trying to do is if you go on your phone and it's natural for everyone to want to check their phone, take one second looking at your phone. If you want to scroll to make sure there's no emergency messages, then put it down and speak. spend at least 15 minutes without your phone first thing in the morning. Preferably more, but spend at least 15 minutes without your phone right when you wake up. That can allow you to wake up your mind, body, and soul without an electronic device and actually soaking in the real world.

Along with that, I want you to think of 10 things that you're grateful for right when you wake up. This fall is all about being mindful and abundance, and that comes with affirmations and incorporating gratitude. think of 10 things that you're grateful for. That could be waking up. The birds chirping, being healthy, being grateful for your job. I promise you that will dramatically improve your morning. Now, if you have a five-minute journal,

that is one of the most essential things to have in your morning routine, and you can go buy one off of Amazon. I have it in my storefront, but maybe you don't want to go spend money on a journal. That is okay. Grab a pen and paper, and you can write out the exact same journal prompts that it has in the five-minute journal.

But I truly recommend you get a five-minute journal. It is life-changing. And for me, it just really sets my morning up for a positive day. When I think of fall, I think of slowing down and listening to your needs. In the spring and summer, I'm really go, go, go, and so am I in the fall and winter, but it's really good to kind of go a bit slower. Because, again, this is the holiday season. It's time to enjoy the fun festives and not get so wrapped into trying to get so much

done and then forgetting about what's right in front of you. As much as I love hustle culture and the hustling mornings like with the cold shower, waking up at 5 a.m. intense workout. I know my mind, body and soul is not wanting that right now. It's wanting of course motivation and to feel good and accomplishing stuff but more of slowing down and getting things done on a slower pace. Remember, slow does not mean that you're not going to get things done, okay? Slow wins the race. So do not think if you slow down and take more time for yourself that you're not going to get as much done. Because that is untrue and I promise you will achieve so much more when you actually slow down and care for yourself. But in the fall and winter, the weather gets gloomier and things are feeling slower,

it's time for you to take a breath and have a slow, mindful mornings this fall. I have been in a fall baking era right now. With the weather getting gloomier, I just love baking and cooking fall foods, but I am not very confident in my baking skills. Learn from the best to become your best with Masterclass.

Now before you get your morning started, I really recommend having a little drinking in the morning to wake you up and know I don't mean straight caffeine. If that works for you, then do so. Personally, I don't like to have any caffeine.

but I really recommend a tea because it's lighter in caffeine or a decaf coffee and then sit around before getting ready for the day as you sip on your little tea that will allow you to have time not getting straight into things right after waking up and really align your headspace into a calm state. I think morning movement is extremely important. That does not mean you need to do a high-intensity morning workout every morning but I think even something such as a five-minute stretch or having a little walk can improve your morning drastically. I go back and forth from working out in the morning to working out in the evening,

so it really depends on how I wake up and what I'm feeling. I'll work out a few times a week and do some Pilates. But regardless if I plan on working out or not that day, I think it's always important to do some bit of morning movement, such as stretching, walking, light yoga, to wake your body up and feel good. One of the biggest essentials you should be doing this fall in your morning routine is once you get up, instantly make your bed. It takes a second to make your bed, okay? It literally is so simple.

Do not let you create a habit to be more simple to not make your bed. Create the habit to make your bed. Would you rather have one minute making your bed or a full day of thinking that you didn't make your bed in the back of your head that you're procrastinating it? I much rather do the task, check it off and get it out of my head. If you say you're going to make your bed later, you're not. So make it now right when you get up. Something else that I think is so important when you wake up in the morning. If you're someone who wakes up with a puffy face or has a hard time actually feeling awake,

is begin ice rolling your face right in the morning. After you do your skin care, get an ice cube, an ice roller, whatever you have, but start rubbing it along your face for a few minutes. And for me, that is the perfect trick to actually wake my body up and not feel tired. And it really helps me also depuff my face. You hear that sound? It's the sound of a sale you're missing out on

Some ideas that you may like for a fall healthy breakfast is overnight oats with pumpkin spice and cinnamon powder. So good, so divine, so healthy. You can also add some protein powder in it. Another thing I love is almond butter banana toast with pumpkin spice powder on top. So good, so divine.

Also love apple chicken sausages with a side of avocado. That also gives that fall feeling. And lastly, I love, love, love making oatmeal pumpkin pancakes. All you do is blend some oats and then add some pumpkin, spice powder, some eggs, and you got yourself some gluten-free pumpkin pancakes. To give that seasonal fall feeling, I also love having a little drink with my breakfast if I didn't already have it that morning, whether that is having my pumpkin oats with a latte or a chai latte, a matcha, so warming and cozy.

cozy feeling. I love it. Next up for your morning to give that fall feeling is light a candle to fill your space up with that cozy autumn feel. I think that is an essential to have some good scent going on in your place. I also love fall essential oil combos. That also can really help smell like fall. I also saw some cinnamon broomsticks. If there's a Trader Joe's by you, get them. I'm going to get some soon because they smell exactly like what I would think of the word fall. If you like staying cozy in the morning, get out of your pajamas, okay? Ditch the pajamas and change into some comfy loungeware. This is if you don't have to get up and go to work, but if you are going to spend your day at home, I really recommend getting some comfy loungeware. So that still makes you feel

like you got ready in the morning, but you're out of your pajamas and still comfy. I love nothing more than lounge wear paired with ugs or slippers. Chef's Kiss combo. As I said, fall in winter are the months to slow down and care for yourself, which is where prioritizing and listening to your mind, body, soul, and needs should be your top priority. If you need a mental health day, take one. The world will not end, okay? The world is not going to end by you skipping out on one party, on one class, or one day of work, okay? Take that day to rest. And let's say everyone else is partying and going out and maybe you skip out on some, parties and some night out because maybe you're a little tired and wanting to slow down.

That should not ever cause you FOMO. We do not know what FOMO is. That is not a word in my vocabulary, okay? You know what is in your vocabulary? Jomo. Joy of missing out. Stop feeling guilty for staying in. Stop feeling guilty for caring for yourself.

This life is yours. Nobody else. And of course, do not feel guilty if you don't complete all of your task. When you wake up in the morning and write out your to-do list, stop writing 15 tasks to do in the morning. Write out the top three things you want to get done that day and then you can write down additional task that you can do if you have extra time. But take one thing at a time in the morning and what you achieve in your day is enough. Okay. You are enough. Everything

you do is enough. Do not feel like you are not doing enough because you are enough. This fall, it's time for slow, cozy and heartwarming mornings.
