Lauren Smith, Co-founder of Garden Street Gin Club
My day begins at 6:30 AM with a peaceful walk along the coast with my dog. Living by the sea provides me with the perfect backdrop for quiet reflection and mental preparation for the day ahead. My #1 tip to win the day is to carve out time for yourself in the morning. Whether it’s a walk, a run, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee in peace, starting the day with self-care sets a positive tone for everything that follows.
Emily Rose Hills, Founder of THE SOCIAL MEDIA COACH
When all goes to plan, my morning routine starts with a commitment to physical and mental wellbeing. I try to prioritise Pilates or a brisk walk (some mornings work does take priority however), then supplement with a cold shower for an added boost of energy. My #1 tip to win the day is to focus on your health and wellbeing first thing in the morning. Whether it’s exercise, or a nutritious breakfast, investing in yourself sets the foundation for a productive day ahead. I know my days are better when I get to go to the gym – it’s just not always a reality.
Lauren Stewart, Co-Founder of Cell Squared
My morning ritual is a blend of nourishment and preparation. I start my day with hydration and a protein-rich breakfast enjoyed outdoors, naturally, this is followed by our Organic Grass-Fed, Beef Liver Capsules. My #1 tip to win the day is to prioritise tasks and set clear goals for yourself. Creating a to-do list and focusing on one task at a time helps me stay organised and productive throughout the day.
Zoe Prieston, Founder & Director of BALM Beauty
My number one tip to win the day starts in the early hours of the morning and lies in the intentional balance of mindfulness, health, and productivity.
The first thing I do after I wake up is glance at my calendar to see what my day will look like. Next is the heart of my routine, a sweat session to clear my mind and get me focused. I like to alternate between boxing, Pilates, or running. Then my long-awaited coffee!
If in-person meetings are on the agenda, which I prefer over online meetings, I go through my light, therapeutic 10-minute makeup routine. I apply the rose inc Skin Enhance Luminous Tinted Serum, BALM Beauty The Brow eyebrow gel, BALM Beauty The Tint cream blush, BALM Beauty The Bronze cream bronzer, and BALM Beauty The Lip Oil, a must-have in my bag throughout the day.
Starting each day with an attitude of gratitude sets the stage for everything that follows. It helps me approach challenges with a solutions-oriented mindset, turning obstacles into opportunities for growth and success.
Georgie Barnes, Publicist & Founder of the comms co.
My morning routine starts with small habits that set a positive tone for the day. A tongue scrape and hydration kickstart my day, followed by a workout or a leisurely walk with my dog. My #1 tip to win the day is to prioritise self-care and set boundaries. Taking care of yourself and knowing when to say no allows you to show up as your best self in both your personal and professional life.
