    Five Steps That Elevate My Morning Routine

    August 30, 2020lifestyle

    This post has been sponsored by Colgate® . All thoughts and opinions are my own.

    Have you kept your morning routine the same with all of the changes in our world? Even with a shelter-in-place lifestyle, keeping my daily routine going and taking care of my body is super important. I don’t know about you, but sometimes it’s not an easy task! 

    The majority of my days are spent at home, mostly in my newly decorated office, or sometimes at the dining table (so I can keep my eye on the puppy), but if I’m packing to go out anywhere, it’s usually to run a quick household errand or to shoot content in a studio. Either way, I find that when I start the day on the right note, that a lot of the “pieces” fall into place. Why don’t we call it the laying the foundation for the day? My foundation involves a few steps to get me in the right mindset.

    Keeping My Smile Sparkling

    Oral health is important every day and while on weekends I totally veg out, having clean teeth is one thing that I can’t let slip. I was shocked at how sleek and modern the hum by Colgate ® Smart Electric toothbrush was when it arrived at my home, and it totally makes the mundane experience of brushing my teeth a little more luxurious. Sure, the hum comes in 3 beautiful colors, purple, teal and blue, but that’s not the only thing that makes it special.

    The toothbrush connects to the hum by Colgate ® app as well as the Apple Health app to track my oral health with daily summaries of how well I brushed, how long I brushed for, and a mouth map outlining areas where I may have missed. Smart sensor technology in the brush allow it to be connected, showing you where you brush, and helping you target those spots that need extra attention!

    Gimme, Gimme Water

    Am I the only one with a water glass on their nightstand? Sometimes they accumulate, but that’s not the point. I keep water next to the bed because I have no excuse for not getting my intake up right when I wake up. If it’s next to me, I’ll drink it. It is the perfect way to make sure I’m flushing out toxins and hydrating my body after a night’s rest.

    Saying “No” to the scroll

    I spend so much of my day looking at a screen, whether it is my laptop or my phone, so I try to reserve that time until I’ve at least made it downstairs for breakfast. I’m sure we’ve all wondered where the time went after we caught ourselves in “Scrollville” for what seemed like a minute (it was really 30). Sometimes the days go by fast, but I have comfort in knowing that I’m not letting valuable morning hours slip away with the distraction. If you have a hum by Colgate toothbrush and you’re saying no to the scroll like I am, you don’t have to have your phone near you every time you brush; it can store 10 days of data to sync up later!

    Transforming My Shower into a Spa

    I keep the lights low when I shower. I know that some people say that a shower wakes them up, but for me, it feels more like a spa when I take my time and ease into the day. If I have the extra time to enjoy, I will add some essential oils to the basin so that I can have some calming aromatherapy to get me in the right mindset for the day. 

    Dressing the Part

    Yes, I still get dressed to go somewhere, even if it’s just to my office. They say dress for the job you want, and while some days are easier for me to keep my routine than others, I find that my productivity skyrockets when I am not lounging in my pajamas. When I feel good, I do better work, and I hope that my fellow video meeting participants understand where I’m coming from!

    As you can see, I take some very crucial steps for the foundation of my day so that I’m not losing any of my daily healthy habits. Do we share any similarities? I’d love to know how you’re faring!

    Wednesday, we made it through!👩🏾‍💻🍷T Wednesday, we made it through!👩🏾‍💻🍷The last few weeks (and let’s just say year because we’re coming up on one year since lockdown) have been crazy, filled up with ups and downs for all of us. 

And through it all, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with amazing, creative entrepreneurs that have:

▪️Found their voice + rhythm when it comes to communicating to their ideal client/customer/follower
▪️Pitched + landed PAID deals with their dream brand
▪️Increased their web presence (because I LOVE IG, but there’s other touchpoint and revenue opportunities OFF of the app)
▪️Launched digital and physical products
▪️Contributing to and being featured by publications

And, to me, the most transformative: 

▪️Cultivating the courage to go after what they want relentlessly

That’s why I LOVE being #CoachKach. 
It’s really so content creators, solopreneurs + creative business owners like you can blow through your lofty goals + grab control of your brand +  life.

It’s never been easier than it is right now to do this. All you need is confidence and the right tools + support to get you there. And with one-on-one coaching with me, you’ll get just that.

I’m your digital bestie helping you navigate scaling your business using social, creating content, pitching brands + media and crafting your product/service offer.

▪️Get an opportunity that you’re not sure is taking advantage of your time and talent? Send it to me and we’ll chat it through.

▪️Need to make sure you’re not missing something in your launch plan because you’ve been looking at it too closely? I’m your second set of eyes with examples and other creatives to connect with.

▪️ Start feeling like you can’t do it? I’ll be there telling you YOU CAN — and showing you that you WILL.

If you’re ready to turn up the heat this year, shoot me a DM! I have O N E spot left for the next couple of months at this level of support. If you know you need this, but have questions, let’s talk + see if we can make it a reality for you.

    This is the mood I am embodying all week as I talk This is the mood I am embodying all week as I talk back to the mean girl in my own head! That bitch always shows up right when I “get ready” to do something. What about you? Let’s face em together. 

There is no right time.
There is no cheat code. 
You just have to humble yourself, frickin show up and  DO IT.
It can be as fun or regimented as you decide so long as you are moving in a forward direction, a direction that takes you closer to that goal.

Are you waiting for the right time? And no, I’m not asking for a friend. I’m asking for myself. There will be no more ideas living in a notebook until it “feels good.” If it feels good, it ain’t growth or taking US higher!

Celebrate the win in advance if you have to. Whatever gets you going (yes, I believe in dessert first).

This week, L E T ‘ S 👏🏾 G E T 👏🏾 I T !  #levelupshowup
    WHAT HAS SNOWMAGEDDON TAUGHT ME? That there is po WHAT HAS SNOWMAGEDDON TAUGHT ME?

That there is power in community and Dallas reminds me a lot of Sacramento right now. Shoutout to @dallasites101 for going ALL OUT with their resources. 

That love will always save the day and maybe not in the way you think but just in the way you need. 

That having no power in or out of unit for days and not being able to leave because the roads are so bad is no fucking joke. Talk about a reality check and gratitude break on so many fronts. 

That I really need to get my emergency kit to include “Snowy Conditions” and get a damn shovel + boots. Maybe a truck instead of the Mini? 🚙

Who knew it got like this in Dallas?! 🤯🤯🤯 I didn’t. AT ALL. We’re beyond blessed to have a warm and safe place right now with food, hot water and more.

Prayers up 🙏🏾for everyone that is going through it during this time and for those that still don’t have power, that can’t get to loved ones and those that are having a hard time dealing with this on top of the fact that we’re in a global pandemic. I always say the new year truly starts in February, but it looks like it might be March this time. 

I heard it’s going to be 72 and ☀️next week… y’all, I can’t make this stuff up! 

Are you affected by the weather?! Where are you located? 
#KachetTakesDallas
    Happy Monday, y’all! What is going on? Well, her Happy Monday, y’all! What is going on? Well, here are answers to your questions (😆😆):
◾️Yes, it’s snowing in Dallas...it’s 12 degrees right now. And it’s gonna be cold with potentially more snow this week. WTF 
◾️We had power but now it’s off again...daytime is okay but night time sucks.
◾️I have on a fleece under here but of course when I posed, the sleeves pulled up in the coat (now I get the thumb hole concept...). I don’t own boots for this so my California is showing! ☀️🕶🌴
◾️ @lifeofrudytheboston HATES it as you can tell from his face...but he managed to run for at least 5 min with a pack of other dogs at the park. Thank the LAWD.
◾️ Being snowed in in a city that doesn’t do snow feels crazy. But it’s kind of nice and this will make a helluva story one day.

How’s your Monday going? Tell me somethin good! 🥶❄️☃️
