    Breville
    Blend Active Personal Blender & Smoothie Maker

    UK Curly Girl

    A morning shake is always something I’m in need of to start my day right! Being an entrepreneur can take up a lot of energy not just physically, but mentally too. This is why I make it a priority to get in my vitamins and goodness from fruits and veg, a blender is great for this as it’s quick, easy and tastes good too! 

    I work best in the mornings so I like to get as much done within the first few hours of the day. Drinking a shake for breakfast instead of cooking saves time, I use the Breville blender as it’s really small and compact and it blends the juice in your flask meaning less clean up time allowing you to hop straight into work!

    Intelligent Change Inc
    The Five Minute Journal

    UK Curly Girl

    The key to productivity is planning ahead! I love to write clear goals and to do lists in my journal the night before and read in the morning to remind myself of what needs to be done that day. Journaling has been proven to help clear your mind, build confidence, and increase creativity.

    The 5 Minute Journal, in particular, is perfect for this as it prompts you daily to write down what you’re grateful for. The book is full of 'I Am' affirmations and reasons as to why today will be a great day! This always gets me in a great mood and motivated to fulfil that desire.

    Dymo
    LabelWriter 4XL Label Printer

    UK Curly Girl

    I own a product business that requires me to send out orders to my customers, so I print labels at home, which before buying this, took such a long time! As I mentioned before, I work best in the mornings so liked to get this done early, but found I would be printing them for hours! 

    When I switched from a normal printer to a label thermal printer my packing orders routine cut tremendously!! It’s super fast and prints one after the other seamlessly, already on sticker paper so all you have to do is peel it off and stick it on your parcels. I also love the fact that you don’t have to buy ink, saving you not only just time but money too.

    Grde
    Alarm Clocks Wake Up Light With Sunrise to Sunset Simulation

    UK Curly Girl

    In order to have a productive morning, you have to wake up early! If you’re a heavy sleeper you will need a pretty good alarm! Most of us opt for the alarm app on our phones, however, did you know that sleeping next to your phone isn’t good for our health?

    The radiation next to you along with the bright light before you sleep and first thing in the morning makes it harder to relax and often results in anxiety! I found that when I switched to an alarm clock I wasn’t tempted to press snooze and head straight to my social media notifications, which causes me to waste time browsing other people's showreels and think about all of the emails and comments I have to reply to.

    Jbl
    Over Ear Bluetooth Wireless Headphones With Pure Bass Sound

    UK Curly Girl

    Welcome to multitasking! I love to use my wireless headphones around the house while I get ready in the morning - and if you don’t live alone this is even better for you! While brushing my teeth, making my smoothie and getting dressed/makeup I pop on a podcast or audiobook and get some personal development in.

    Learn while getting set up for the day instead of letting an hour or so go by with nothing to show for it. The early bird catches the word!

    BaByliss
    Hydro-Fusion Hair Dryer

    UK Curly Girl

    Diffusers are the curly hair wash & go hack! As a busy entrepreneur, it can be hard for me to put in the time and care that my curls need on a consistent basis.
     
    I used to air dry my curls after washing them which results in hours of wet or damp hair, but now I have found the perfect hair dryer with advanced technology to prevent frizz. I can cut my hair drying time down to just 20 minutes by using the diffuser leaving my curls looking even greater than they usually do!

    O So Curly
    Reversible Satin Bonnet

    UK Curly Girl

    Again another way for me to cut down hairstyling time is to use a satin pillowcase or bonnet when I am sleeping! This helps to keep all styles neater and moisturised for longer, which is a must when you don't have much time to look after your hair or style it in the mornings. 

    Often when working from home I will skip my hair routine altogether and just wear my bonnet all day! This will keep my hair intact and I can restyle in the evenings or leave until my next wash day.

    Grandma Shark
    Whiteboard

    UK Curly Girl

    Such a classic tool but a really strong way for you to keep on top of your daily duties and goals. I find that if I know exactly what I need to do in the day I spend less time procrastinating in the morning with trying to figure out what to start on first. 

    The whiteboard is great as you can simply rub off what you no longer need instead of throwing away bits of paper all of the time! I place mine next to my bed so that it is the first thing that I notice in the morning.

    Gimdumasa
    Blue Light Filter Blocking Glasses

    UK Curly Girl

    A product I was introduced to this year but has made a difference in the headaches and fatigue I often get from the constant screen time I consume as an online business owner. 

    Using these a few hours before you sleep when watching TV, working on the computer or browsing your phone is a great way to block out the blue light preparing you for a better sleep which in turn makes a better morning! Blue light from our phones and screens can actually cause some damage to your vision over time, so it’s best to prevent this early by using the glasses when possible.
