The way you start your morning sets the tone for everything that follows.

It’s not just about waking up — it’s about leveling up. From the rituals that keep us grounded to the skincare steps that bring the glow, these are the non-negotiables we strive for that can truly make all the difference.

Set the tone:

The energy you bring to your morning shapes everything that follows, so why not set the tone with intention? Whether it’s a moment of prayer, a grounding meditation, an energizing stretch, or cozy cuddles with your dog, find what sparks joy and motivation. The best part is that you can explore new rituals that uplift and inspire you for the day ahead.

A huge gamechanger for us has been prolonging the reach for our phones as long as possible. It takes some practice but it helps to keep us feeling more centered and balanced especially at the start of the day.

Get moving:

Any type of movement in the morning sets the stage for your best day. Whether it’s a light stretch, a brisk walk, or an energizing workout, getting your body moving boosts circulation, enhances mental clarity, and elevates your mood. No matter how much time you have, finding a way to move is a powerful way to start your day feeling strong, focused, and ready to take on anything.

How we get moving:
Miriam - jumping on the rebounder
Natalie - Vibration plate + RACHEL FITNESS
Celene - Stretching or pilates
Steph - 5k steps on the treadmill

Skin prep:

It goes without saying that skincare plays a huge role in our morning routines. It's important to intentionally apply and massage in each product and take this as a moment for yourself. It doesn't have to be extensive, but even adding an extra minute to de-puff and sculpt with a gua sha is a great way to get started.

Our current skin prep favorites:
Miriam - PRIME BEAUTY OIL + SMOOTHING LIP BALM
NATALIE - BRIGHTEN WATER + DUO CLEANSE + BUFF
CELENE - NEW EYE CREAM (COMING SOON!) + MULTI PRIME
STEPH - MULTI PRIME + HYDRATING X3 MIST

Make time for makeup:

This daily ritual is more than just a routine—it’s a moment of self-care, a time to center ourselves, and an opportunity to set the tone for the day ahead. From the first blend of Prime Skin to the final swipe of Nourishing Lip Gloss, we embrace each step with presence and enjoyment, using this time to reflect, reset, and step into the day feeling confident and empowered.

A few of our makeup must-haves:
MIRIAM - SOFT BLUR + BIBI LIPSTICK
NATALIE - PRIME SKIN + FOUNDATION MULTI STICK
CELENE - NEW! MAJOR MOCHA PALETTE + MULTI MASCARA IN BROWN
STEPH - LOOSE POWDER + CHER NOURISHING LIP GLOSS

Coffee + supplements:

What would a morning routine be if it didn't include coffee?! In true Gee form, we supercharge our coffee with beauty-boosting benefits for healthy hair, skin + nails as well as a balanced gut.

When it comes to morning supplements, we reach for the ones that contribute to our beauty + wellness goals as well as those that set us up for overall well-being.

Our go-to supplements:
miriam - ABSOLUTE COLLAGEN + GODDESS INULIN
NATALIE - WATER WITH CHLOROPHYLL
CELENE - HOLI(MANE) + HOLI(RADIANCE)
STEPH - ARRAE MB-1 + WELLBEL

Breakfast + meal prep:

Whether you carve out time in the morning to prepare a nourishing breakfast or plan ahead the night before, fueling your body first thing is essential. A balanced breakfast helps stabilize blood sugar levels, kickstart the metabolism, and keeps you feeling satisfied throughout the morning. Whether it’s a smoothie or a hearty egg scramble, prioritizing wholesome nutrition sets the tone for a productive and energized day ahead.

Outfit planning:

A practice that takes our mornings to the next level is planning your outfit the night before. Taking a few minutes in the evening to thoughtfully choose your look allows you to feel more organized, confident, and ready to take on whatever the day brings. Plus, it frees up valuable morning time for other meaningful rituals.

Here's to leveling up our mornings!
