17 Celebrities Reveal Morning Routines That Help Them Get Through The Day
"Drink water and take my chlorophyll, Wobenzym, and theanine." Sounds great!
We all have our morning routines, and celebrities are no different. They have hectic schedules, and that time alone in the morning is sometimes all the time they have for themselves.
And they make it count. By nature, not everyone is a morning person.
However, by creating a good morning routine, anyone can make peace with the early hours of the day. If you haven't started your own, you've probably seen celebrities publish their morning routines on social media because they're as ubiquitous as avocado toast.
Yes, morning routines are all the rage, but experts say there's nothing wrong with creating small rituals that help you get out of bed on the right side. There are two schools of thought regarding morning rituals.
The first suggests that you should take it easy, relax, and start with the smallest things. The second (more radical) approach states that the best thing to do first thing in the morning is "to eat a frog."
This means that the worst item on your to-do list should be tackled first thing in the morning. Needless to say, this school of thought is not supported by many.
We have created a list of 17 celebrities and their morning rituals. We hope you find it helpful.
1. Candace Cameron Bure
Pray, then also drink matcha.
Instagram2. Naomi Osaka
I practice every day during the week, so normally I brush my teeth, wash my face, put on sunscreen (I use sunscreen by Shiseido called Anessa), prepare breakfast (usually avocado toast with smoked salmon), and drink a green juice.

The first thing I do every morning is make myself a cup of coffee with almond milk, cinnamon, agave, and collagen.

5. Whitney Port
I usually wake up to the sound of Sonny calling for us. Either Timmy or I will go get him (we loosely switch off each morning), we change him, and all lay back in our bed for a little while. Literally, just like 5 minutes. Sometimes Timmy and I have a "family meeting" where we discuss what our individual to-do lists look like and make a plan for how we are going to accomplish them. I get up, make myself hot water with lemon, take vitamins, and get Sonny something to drink and a light snack (since he isn't really hungry in the morning). Then we try to do a worksheet that Sonny's school has sent him. There are some variations each day, but that is pretty much what the first part of my morning looks like.

6. JoAnna Garcia Swisher
I make my coffee and sneak out to the front porch to watch the sun peek through the trees. It's truly one of my favorite moments of the day.

7. Maggie Q
I kiss my animals and tell them individually that I love them. It's important to single them out. It makes a difference, and they KNOW the difference. If you only have one, then lucky them!

8. Dorit Kemsley
I drink a glass of hot lemon water and hug my husband.

9. Francia Raisa
The first thing I do in the morning is walk my dog because he follows me around and stares at me until I do it. After that, I drink warm lemon water, journal, eat a light breakfast, work out, and then have my coffee to start my day. I wake up really early to get all of this done.

10. Dascha Polanco
Drink water and take my chlorophyll, Wobenzym, and theanine. Then check the cell phone.

11. Paige DeSorbo
The first thing I do when I wake up is check my phone to see how much longer I can sleep! Then I drink hot water with lemon because I heard it helps start the day off right.

12. Janel Parrish
I play this New York Times spelling bee puzzle on my phone, and my sister and I text each other the words we found and team up to win. It's a fun little tradition and helps me wake up every morning.

13. Genevieve Padalecki
I make my bed. I am all about accomplishments, and as [retired United States Navy] Admiral William H. McRaven says, "If you make your bed in the morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day."

14. Rachel Naomi Hilson
Boil some water for tea and check on my balcony plants! I just got these new loose teas from a Black-owned tea company called Nya Tea (which can be found at the Hollywood Farmer's Market or online!), and it's my favorite morning ritual. I've been trying to get up early because the sun is in full swing by 6:30 or so these days. It's nice to have a quiet moment with my tea and my plant children (the ones that are still alive :/) before I get started with my day.

15. Merle Dandridge
Wash my face and make a morning tonic of lemon juice and apple cider vinegar in warm water. It makes me feel cleansed, refreshed, and nourished inside and out.

16. Brooke Burke
Coffee. Nothing before coffee.

17. Camila Coelho
The first thing I do is drink coffee and focus on being grateful. I have a hard time waking up some mornings, but the smell of coffee alone energizes me. I like to take the time to slow down, drink my coffee, and think about the things that I am truly thankful for in my life.

It's crucial to create a routine that matches your way of living. To put it another way, don't drink green juice if you don't like it.
If a three-mile run as soon as you wake up sounds like agony, your PJs' slow morning stretch routine might be more your speed. Whatever your daily routine entails, the idea is to develop regular habits that help you feel more robust and intentional in the face of whatever the day throws at you.
So, create your own routine; don't copy someone else's.
