### **The Early Morning: Waking Up with My Cat**
Every morning, I’m woken up by my cat at around 6:00-6:30 AM, especially on Mondays, Tuesdays, weekends, and holidays. While it’s a sweet way to start the day, her timing is a bit early! If I try to ignore her and go back to sleep, she won’t settle for that. First, she’ll nudge my face with her paw, then meow louder if I don’t respond. If I still don’t move, she’ll start scratching at my bed—something I *can’t* ignore since it’s precious to me. At that point, I’m fully awake and stressed, with no choice but to start the day.

### **Feeding My Cat: The Morning Ritual**
The first thing on my morning to-do list? Feeding my cat. I store her food in the fridge, but I don’t want her to have a cold breakfast. So, I warm it up a bit using warm water and dip the food container into it. She loves this ritual—she’ll push me out of bed and start “banmaring” (insisting) that she gets her food right away. It’s all in good fun, and I make sure to give her the breakfast she deserves.

### **Morning Workout: A Decision to Be Made**
Next up? Deciding whether to work out today or not. While working out isn’t a daily staple for me, I might consider it today because you’re watching. Motivation? Cute workout clothes help a lot—and Karma has been instrumental in helping me get them at the best price.

### **Shopping Smarter with Karma**
A few weeks ago, I was shopping on Zara and spotted some pieces from their summer collection that I loved—this shirt, these shorts, etc. Instead of buying them at full price, I downloaded *Karma*, added them to my wishlist, and waited for them to go on sale. Sure enough, Karma notified me when they dropped in price by 30%, and I scored a great deal.
With Karma, you can save items from your favorite online stores in one place and receive notifications via email or mobile push when those items go on sale, come back in stock, or have relevant coupons. You can even organize items into multiple wishlists—for clothes, beauty products, home decor, and more.
If you use the Chrome extension on your computer, Karma will automatically scan the web for coupon codes and apply them at checkout. No need to change how you shop—it’s seamless!
For every purchase over $50 made through select retailers with Karma, they donate $1 to a good cause. It’s like shopping with purpose.

### **Oil Pulling: A Morning Dental Routine**
Before working out, I do something called *oil pulling*. It’s supposed to kill bacteria in the mouth and improve dental health. I take a spoonful of coconut oil, swish it around my mouth for about 10 minutes, and then spit it out. Fun fact: You shouldn’t spit the oil down the sink or toilet because it can clog pipes. Instead, I spit it outside in my garden since coconut oil is natural and organic.
---
### **Morning Workout Drink: A Quick Fix**
After oil pulling, I’m usually very thirsty, so I like to have a drink. Normally, I’d go for chlorella water, but I’ve run out, so today I’m trying this detox powder instead. It claims to support liver function, aid digestion, and bind heavy metals. To be safe, I’m using a plastic spoon to mix it since metal spoons might react with the product.
As I mix it, I realize how focused I am on the task—I almost forgot to breathe! After mixing, I take a sip, but it’s a bit of a choke. No judgment if you laugh at this—it happens!

### **Nail Art: A Fun Morning Activity**
Once my drink is ready, I decide to do some quick nail art. Cow prints have been trending lately, so I want to try that. First, I paint all my nails white using a small brush. Many of you might wonder how I manage to paint my right hand with my right hand—I rest my left hand on the table and go slowly. It’s not the most helpful advice, but practice makes perfect!
Once the nails are dry, I choose some pastel colors for the patches. The trick is to wipe the brush clean and make random dots on the nails. Easy peasy! Finally, I seal the design with a top coat—and voilà! My nails are done.
---
### **Morning Shower: A Split Decision**
With my nails set, it’s time to think about showering. But I’m not quite ready yet—maybe later. Instead, I decide to try a new makeup look today.
---
### **Makeup Routine: A Bronzy Glow**
Today, I want to create a bronzy glowy summer look. It’s something new for me, so I’m excited but a bit nervous. I start with my foundation and primer—something I’ve been running out of, but it’s on my Karma wishlist.
Next, I apply bronzer to my eyes for a subtle glow. Then, I try adding a hint of gold—but it doesn’t show up at all! Deciding to take the plunge, I use an unsharpened eye pencil to add a pop of blue under my eyes. It’s not ideal, but I remember that mascara can save any mediocre look. After applying mascara, the look improves.
Finally, I finish with some lipstick and wave my hair using a heat protectant. My hair is long, so it takes time—and I realize I need a haircut desperately. But for now, I’ll leave it as is.

### **Immunity Shot: A Morning Health Ritual**
While I’m working on my hair, I prepare an immunity shot. It’s made with ginger, black pepper, unfiltered apple cider vinegar, and curcumin (the active substance in turmeric). I blend these ingredients, strain them, and enjoy a small shot of the rich yellow liquid.
---
### **Hair Care: A Reflection**
As time passes, I reflect on my hair care routine. I used to go to the same hairstylist every time I visited my family, but last time she wasn’t available. Now, six months later, my hair is wild—but I’m okay with it. I ask viewers if they stick to one stylist or switch up.
---
### **Breakfast: Quinoa for Breakfast**
Finally, it’s time for breakfast—a quinoa dish that tastes like cake! I prepare it by soaking the quinoa overnight and cooking it until it reaches a thick oatmeal texture. I top it with dark chocolate, almond butter, and fresh raspberries from my garden.
