'Meditation, movement and a dose of self-care are non-negotiables for me in the morning. Once you start work it's easy not to stop, so beginning my day well is a must. Meditation has noticeably made me more positive and less reactive, while moving my body counteracts my otherwise sedentary lifestyle at the moment.'

'Even when I'm working from home, I get up in good time and meditate for 20 minutes. Then I put on some SPF and head out for a walk (provided it's not raining). I'll always listen to a podcast, usually an interview, and wander around my local area for half an hour. Having not spent much time locally pre-lockdown, it's been a treat to get to know the neighbourhood and watch it change through the seasons. I also try to squeeze in a Pilates session when I return home.'

'After Pilates, I drink a hot ginger and lemon, before hydrating and de-puffing my face with a jade roller and my Antioxidant Serum. I like to keep my Cowshed roller in the fridge, so it feels like heaven after a workout.'

'I then shower using the Awake Shower Gel. The citrusy blend is gentle, but energising. It always leaves my skin lightly scented and soft.'

'Finally, once I'm dressed and ready for work, I'll light the Awake Candle and place it on my desk. It might seem small, but I find it helps me relax before I take on the day.'
