One of my new year goals was to “own my morning” and, admittedly, I’ve been kind of sucking at it lately. I’ve NEVER been a morning person and probably never will be, but, guys, I really do want to be better at getting up and being active before 11am. Even when I get up early (like, you know, 8am) I’m awake but not really functioning…it’s kind of like I’m on autopilot and then I go on Instagram and see that some of my friends have already photographed a gorgeous breakfast (come on, we KNOW you don’t eat like that every day!), worked out (again, please) and have been prancing around town ever since. Seriously, HOW do people do so much so early in the morning…I’ll just never understand it.
When CLEARASIL approached me about their #WinTheDay campaign, I instantly got inspired because, finally, I’d have some motivation to get shit done before The View comes on. Ok, I don’t actually watch The View, but you know what I’m saying.
CLEARASIL is one of those iconic skincare brands that I still enjoy, even though I’m currently acne-free (knock on wood). I naturally had to photograph products from their awesome Superfruit collection against a print of one of my favorite Clueless quotes, circa high school, and my awesome jaguar print stapler because, obviously, sitting down at my desk first thing is a GREAT way to #WinTheDay. For the entire month of March I’m making a promise to myself (and to you guys) that I’m going to get up early and immediately sit down at my desk so I can #WinTheDay and stay motivated. By the way, here’s a link where you can get a FREE bottle of the CLEARASIL Superfruit cleanser! It’s awesome, trust me.
What do YOU do to #WinTheDay?

It’s hard to believe that Paul Walker is actually gone. I interviewed him about two years ago…what a nice, down-to-earth guy. Not many people knew about how involved with charity he was; he will be missed – QueenoftheQuarterLifeCrisis.com
