Morning Routine
The first thing I do when I wake up is remove my eye mask and mouth tape. I brush my teeth, use a copper tongue scraper and then massage my face with my Vitamin Sea Serum.
Toothbrush - I love this toothbrush so much, my teeth and mouth feel SO clean after. If you're looking for the best nontoxic mouthwash I recommend the one by RiseWell (use my code, BEAUTYSHAMANS10 for 10% off)
Mouth scraper - The one I received was a gift, but this one is almost identical. I love using a copper mouth scrapper, once in the morning and again before bed. It cleans my tongue and stimulates lymph nodes in the mouth.
Obsidian Roller - This roller is the best to use in the morning as soon as you wake up because it works best on dry, clean skin. I don't apply any extra product before using it - whatever's leftover on the skin from the night before is just enough. The obsidian rocks sort of hug the skin as you roll them so it's like a combination of light cupping + lymph drainage. It's the BEST for depuffing the face with minimal effort, and this tool is so easy to use.
Vitamin Sea Serum I don't wash my face first thing in the AM (that comes later in the morning), I just apply this creamy seaweed serum and it's been transforming my skin. It's full of ceramides so it fills in area of the skin where you may have gaps, like pores, scarring or fine lines. It's super light but keeps the barrier protected and moisturized. I have a deep love affair with this product and it's really rich in vitamin C and niacinmide so it helps prevent future damage as well!
Then I walk out to the kitchen...
I take a spoonful of Royal Jelly, I blend 1 scoop of Kroma's Supergreens Elixir with Heart & Soil's Animal Based Protein. This combo is like a creamy, green smoothie - it' so hydrating and gives me tons of greens, mushrooms, probiotics, digestive enzymes, 19 grams of protein, colostrum and collagen proteins. I drink this refreshing elixir while taking Heart & Soil Organ Meat Supplements. I can't think of a better combination than Royal Jelly, Greens, and Organ Meat. This is the best way to start the day.
Kroma Wellness I blend Super Greens Elixir in room temperature water. I used to take AG1 but I actually like the flavor of the Kroma Greens much better. I love taking drinkable vitamins first thing in the morning because it immediately sets the tone of the day, and I know I'm getting tons of nutrients (like probiotics, fruits, veggies, functional mushrooms and plant protein).
Royal Jelly - The Queen bee eats Royal Jelly (and she is the biggest and lives the longest), so I decided to try eating a spoonful every morning to see how I would feel. I am obsessed with this insanely powerful superfood. The formula I take is blended into honey so its packed full of enzymes and antioxidants that support the immune system, prevent aging and promote longevity. It's been a known beauty supplement for decades now because of its ability to support healthy cell growth. Knock on wood - since I started taking it I haven't been sick!
My "Not Coffee" is either Nadaka or Beauty Matcha Latte.
Nandaka - This is my coffee alternative that has only 82 mg of caffeine (the perfect amount to get me going without jitters or crashes). Oh and by the way, the caffeine buzz is completely different from coffee. This is worth trying to see if you respond as positively as I have. Flavor? It taste like a spiced hot chocolate blended with tea. It's a genius concoction of functional mushrooms, cacao, and fermented green and black tea. I am totally obsessed with my morning ritual now that I have Nandaka. Right now when you use my link you get 20% off plus a free beaker and frother. I use the whole kit every morning.

Beauty Matcha Latte from Kroma Wellness is the best matcha on the market, its a little spicy and has added collagen for skin support. It tastes so good and you don't need to add any sugar or sweetener, it's perfect just the way it is. This has about 70 mg of caffeine, providing a slow and steady surge in energy with no jitters, crashes or sleepless nights. Not to mention, green tea and matcha are known for their antioxidants.
