*THE TWO MOST COMMON QUESTIONS FROM THIS VIDEO* : - What time do you go to bed? Usually 10pm, but I do get quite sleepy by 9:30pm - Why wake up early if you just watch YT? This is just one day, most of the time I will be editing, emailing, getting ready to film, etc., but sometimes I just watch TH-cam videos because I just truly love waking up early (that's why I said I'm one of those people). Also, since John is working from home in the living room at 6:30am (on the phone) I can't be making too much noise, so waking up early makes it so I have everything I need by the time he starts.
I wake up at 6am and always sit and watch a YT video while I have my lemon water! I always wake up really nauseous, and I find taking 10-15 minutes to sit and chill really helps my body get used to being awake.
why wake up early if you just watch yt? as if waking up early and being productive belong together... life doesn't always have to be like in most yt videos
As someone who has traveled around the world and shared MANY rooms with Alexa, I can verify that she is 100% ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE - even on vacation 😂😂😂my lil early morning queen! Loved this video and love you 🧡
tips for sleeping with wavy/curly hair & refreshing it the next day! -sleep with a bonnet! it helps reduce friction so much and cuts down on frizz while preserving your hair texture, especially if you're an erratic sleeper! -silk/satin pillow cases! also helps reduce frizz and is recommended for wavy/curly hair -buy a product meant for 2nd day refresh! i use not your mothers curl refreshing foam and it helps so much with reviving my hair after sleeping! -use a small amount of oil to help with frizz & smooth out your hair! i use jojoba oil for literally everything as someone who had literally no idea how to preserve my 2nd day waves/curls, these tips have helped so much!
Megan Giunta Thanks for the tips. 🙏 At the moment all I do is shower at night and then wrap a micro fiber hair towel around my head and sleep in it (the twist action makes the waves and the as the hair dries it sets). My waves come out pretty damn good from just that alone but if I want to make my hair look good on day 2, 3 etc I’ll have to try your suggestions. 😊
I know this is an old video, but we have a similar body type and the scene where you showed yourself working out and the sweatiness going on there made me feel so good. You‘re so relatable and real I LOVE IT
Finally another morning person! It seems like 99% of the morning routines on here start at like somewhere around 9 or 12 lol I've also always been a super early riser and wake up naturally. Everyone thinks I'm insane
I wish i was. I went to bed at 7:30 and surprisingly fell asleep. I expected to wake up at 6 or 7 but no i slept until 10:15! Almost 15 hours this can't be healthy😂🤦♀️
I used to be such a morning person (not quite at this level but I would naturally wake up by 7am) and now I just can't and I wish I could go back to it because I'm still not a night owl so I'm like a 4pm person now haha
so what normally works for me, is to have one day where I just sort of over work myself, do a bunch of stuff and just get yourself to the point where you want to go to bed early. then make sure to set a timer for a bit earlier than I want to get up. and sort of force myself to get up at that time. right now, no matter what time i go to be I'm waking up at 6am. It sucks on my days off when I just want to sleep in, but its nice knowing I have a morning. If you aren't back to work or are a student, I would suggest trying to force a more consistent schedule so you don't feel like staying up super late and have things to do in the morning.
This made me feel so much better. Been feeling down low for not being productive altho i wake up early. Your video reminded me that i can just be a morning person and watch YT vids whenever I feel like. That being productive doesnt always go with waking up early :-)
I'm not a morning person but waking up early brings so much calmness. My routine lately has been all over the place, so I really need to get back on track 😅 love this!
Omg Natacha is my absolute favorite fitness TH-camr, so athletic and so educated about fitness! Also I appreciate that you’re honest about waking up at 5 a.m. & being unproductive bc I’d be the same way if I got up that early
Yes! She is great! Of course! Honestly it takes me a bit to really wake up but I still want to push through! I think when people hear someone wakes up at 5am they think they are some productive machine!
I AM A MORNING PERSON TOO. LOVE TO WAKE UP EARLY THEN GO FOR WALK FEELS FRESH. LOVED YOUR VLOG AND MORNING ROUTINE. YOU LOOKED BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS SIS. TAKE CARE AND BE SAFE. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
Me watching this in my depression cave at 1:00 in the morning while crying about school on my messy bed eating an entire container of Ben & Jerry’s chocolate fudge brownie ice cream.
I love this so much I’ve never seen a routine video where someone admits that they aren’t productive all damn morning. As someone who also watches about an hour of TH-cam every morning, this was relatable 💕
I loooove your natural hair!! I have frizzy ass wavy/curly hair and I usually will either pigtail braid my hair at night before bed or put my hair in a silk sleeping bonnet. Also100% silk pillow cases are a savior for curly hair!!
I would love to start doing this. My current schedule is completely whacked. My zoom classes start at 8:30--imagine working out, showering, and eating breakfast before that! Even working out at all would be good... I have the same coffeemaker! I love it so much. Have you ever tried making overnight oats? You make them the night before and put them in the fridge, so of course they are cold when you eat them. I just use a basic recipe--oats, plain yogurt, milk, dried fruits, a little coconut, vanilla, and honey. You should try it! I also like how you give things a little time to "air out." Let the bed air out for 30 min before you make it, let the workout clothes air out before you put them in the hamper.
I sleep with my wavy hair up in a ponytail but with a scrunchie so that it doesn’t mess up my waves. You should also try sleeping with a silk pillowcase. It will help with the frizz :) Usually I use a diffuser though. Depends on how much time I have in the morning or just how I feel like doing my hair. Have you ever tried using a diffuser yet?
I'm not a morning person but i don't like doing my work in the afternoon/night, so I wake up early too, to get my work done in the morning/afternoon. Also, I have curly hair so i sleep with a bonnet, that way it doesn't get flat and frizzy but you can also try sleeping with the pineapple hearstyle, that may help mantain the waves.
I'm new to the wavy/curly hair style myself. I was told to wear a silk cap or silk pillow case to avoid the frizz from sleeping. Also I use a t-shirt to dry my hair after washing it. These have really helped me. Hope they help you 😊
@@alexasunshine83 This is the brand I got from Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B07PGQYQTN/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_-qzqFb2W35ME8 It was recommended by Manes by Mell from TH-cam.
Get a silk pillow case (helps keep frizziness at bay!) and do the hair pineapple! You pile it on top of your head LOOSLY and then plop it up there and tie it up LOOSLY with your hair band. I usually only do a double twist with my band
Recently I've been waking up between 5 and 6am and I ALWAYS go back to sleep (and end up regretting it) because I don't know how to keepmyself busy! Thank you for sharing this!!
Alexa Sunshine83 your wavy hair is STUNNING!!!! You should reach out to Sierra for some curly girl tips, her curls have come such a long way since she started the curly girl method :) loved those bright bike shorts also ❤️❤️❤️
With the hair- you’re right, putting water to dampen it in the morning is what you have to do! I have tight curly Afro hair, and I spray it with a water bottle in the morning. Sleeping on it smushes it so I have to wet it in the morning and then lightly pick it out and fluff it! ❤️
I have fine wavy hair and have started just putting it in a high pony overnight using a soft scrunchie. It’s an easy way to somewhat protect my hair at night! Excited for your wavy hair video 😊
You should look into satin pillowcases or satin bonnets !!! They really help your curls stay more intact it also helps to prevent breakage while you sleep.
idk if anyone has said this yet or not, like responded to what you asked about sleeping on curly/wavy hair. A silk bonnet is amazing for your hair or silk pillow cases either works if you don't wanna flatten out and frizz your curls/waves
From someone who has wavy/curly hair. Always sleep in a loose bun or ponytails and put on a night cap. I shake my hair and fluff up my roots. That’s what I do at night or I do braids. But there plenty of wavy hair ppl doing videos on that’s topic.
I love your channel, your videos on thrifting, decluttering and other videos are soo good I often rewatch them as they inspire me to really cut out fast fashion
To sleep with curly hair, I use a satin bonnet and twist my hair in small sections. Pin it all up, put on your satin bonnet (or you can use an old tshirt) and sleep! 🙂 You can also try using some good product, brad mondo has some pretty good affordable products called xmondo that work great for curly hair! 😊 Hope that helps! ❤️ Have a beautiful day!
I also have a fear of insomnia! Twins. I have curly hair and when I wash it at night I put on a cotton hair wrap which I take off right before going to sleep. When I don't wash my hair, I usually get it a little damp in the shower, scrunch in some hair serum, and then go to sleep. Then in the morning I either put it up or fluff it around :)
Watched this while running this morning- very motivating to see another morning person! I feel like it’s so unpopular to love the morning time!! Sorry about your foot!
I hate making my bed because I have a bunk bed so I need to reach over and it hurts my back so bad. Plus I almost always bump my head. Oh, also: thanks for inspiring me! I watched this at like 6 and decided I’d exercise and now I feel productive. Thank you! Edit: five hours later, I decided to make my bed. *i bumped my head*
I’m sure someone already said this but for curly hair I know you’re supposed to sleep on a silk pillow or with a silk bonnet thing in your hair. They also recommend putting it in a lose “pineapple” at the top so that you don’t lay flat on the outside part of your hair. This works depending on how long your hair is tho. I used to do it and it helped but then cut my hair kinda short and stopped and I could probably do it again by now but I just got used to not doing it
For my curly/wavy hair, I sleep with slightly damp hair and lift my hair up on my pillow instead of sleeping on it so it gets volume instead of flat waves. Also, maybe a satin hair bonnet or pillow case will help.
Get a stain bonnet. You can find it on amazon . You just flip your hair upside down and put in the bonnet and go to sleep. Mine does not come off, but I can adjust mine to fit my head. Or get ouchless hair ties and do a high ponytail and go to sleep. Look up the curly girl movement on TH-cam
A tip with crunching wavy hair: I use gel instead of mousse. It’s less crunchy and a dime sized amount, with some hair oil, works on my hair (which is like two inches longer than yours). Mousse used to give my hair that crunch occasionally, but it rarely happens with gel! 😁 (don’t use too much or your hair will be oily and gel-like greasy all day) hope this helps!! I discovered I have wavy hair a few years ago, also thinking my whole life I had straight and weird hair, like you said in ur wavy hair video, and have since learned my favorite ways to style it! Also, I love waking up early too, but need an hour to really wake up as well 😂
You are simply PRECIOUS Alexa! Absolutely love watching this video. Made me laugh, smile, feel happy, as well as a notch up in being motivated and inspired! LOVE those bike shorts!!! I love it when I'm an early riser, it's so rewarding and satisfying. Also love seeing what you do to remain awake after you've woken up. Sometimes I wake early no problem, other times I try but the intended wake time doesn't end up working as planned- often still waking reasonably early, but not AT the targeted wake time... Feel free to consider doing a vid on tips tricks and strategies on HOW you actually wake and what works for you- anything from how you prepare the night before, and particularly the actually WAKING and getting OUT of the bed. Guaranteed view from me for such a thing, LOL! Take care!
You should try silk pillow cases for your hair it actually will help keep that bed head under control. The natural properties of silk, including its smooth surface, can help reduce friction on your hair which often causes damage, like spilt ends. It’s the best thing for curly/wavy hair
My hair is very think and I cut it off a few years ago but now I'm growing it out again. My hair can be extremely wavy so the best thing I've learned is never sleep with it wet and if its super hot out always have a hair tie or hat ready because it gets extremely frizzy
I'm a morning person myself. 🌞Always have been. I like the peace of the morning and knowing that the day ahead holds so much potential. If you really want to embrace your waves/curls try the curly girl method. Sierra Schultzzie made some great videos on doing just that. She's a real cutie patootie and spent years straightening her hair. Now she has these beautiful waves and curls. Of course I envy those of you that have naturally curly hair. 😉 This video was so different from the usual but I really liked it. You could feel that peace of the early morning in your video. 👍👍 Totally enjoyed. ❤😊
I love your wavy hair! Now since my hair is long enough I can put my hair in a loose bun on top of my head with a scrunchie by only putting it through one and a half times its supposed to preserve the curls (some people call it a "pineapple") and fall asleep like that. By only putting it through one and a half times its supposed to preserve the curls. Not sure if it's been working, but I do like my hair being out of my fave lol. Before it was long enough I tied it up in a hair scarf that's made of satin or silk to keep the hair from getting flattened. There are a whole bunch of videos on it. I recommend watching Tabitha Gingerich because has a lot of videos about wavy hair.
Aww, poor boo boo toes! As a person with large bunny feet, I feel your pain. I'm also perpetually clumsy, so it's not a good combination. I am also a morning person with a similar routine. Loved this video! Hope your foot is better soon!
i feel like people who wake up this early just enjoy their lives and don't want to waste half of it in a comatose state, and honestly i wish i could relate because sometimes I'll just go to sleep to numb my life and just pass the time quicker and not live, so just i am genuinly glade that some people make the most of their lives
I genuinely loved this video!! It was really inspiring tho 🤩 I wake up at 8 am for college (online bc of corona) but I ran out of time every day due all my classes and the lectures, essays , etc (I went crazy and took 6 classes🥺). I will try waking up at 6am so I could be more productive!! Thank you so much Alexa, literally love you 😍
You and I have a really similar hair texture and I also just found out my hair was wavy! I am so excited for your video! I also like to get up early, but my husband doesn't! Luckily he is a deep sleeper. I can literally blow dry my hair 10 feet from him and he won't wake up. I could never, lol.
I’ve got wavy hair and I let it air dry. I put it up in a tight but messy bun while it gets mostly dry, then I take it out of the bun and let it finish drying while I tousle it. 😊
You might not be the biggest youtuber on youtube but your my favroite for sure!! I really do see you being big on youtube in a year or so! How long have you been doing youtube??? Also what time zone are you in? Like what state or whatever it is?
*THE TWO MOST COMMON QUESTIONS FROM THIS VIDEO* :
- What time do you go to bed? Usually 10pm, but I do get quite sleepy by 9:30pm
- Why wake up early if you just watch YT?

Well since I have to wake up at 5 am I'm going to go to bed at 9:30 pm 😆
I went to bed at 7am😁😁😁😁 you’re so funny i might just subscribe!!! love from a small youtuber💕💕💕💕
I love that you give yourself that time in the morning to just relax I wake up early and do the same 😊
why wake up early if you just watch yt? as if waking up early and being productive belong together... life doesn't always have to be like in most yt videos
I am simultaneously a morning person, and a night person. It cancels itself out, and I'm just a person at this point.
Same!!

Diurnal is totally valid! You're just a bunny X]

Oatmeal Is nasty so I feel you

Lol same. I end up sleeping at 3 and waking up at 6. And then I suddenly fall asleep during the day
I'm honestly a little bit of both tbh xD
Yah same
Never related to something more in my life😂

Also noooooo the other toe!!! We need to get you protective footwear lol!
😂😂😂 honestly I’m so sorry for always interrupting your sleep on our trips 😭😭😭 also YES I literally need to just wear boots all the time it feels like
I love how realistic this morning routine is. For example, she literally shows her real self waking up & watching 45 min of TH-cam videos. Love it!
The fact that both you and John are early risers is literally super cute 🥺 cause not a lot of people aren’t early risers!!
💛💛 that was one of my favorite things about him when we met because it was so uncommon!
Watching a bunch of these early morning routine videos so that I can convince myself to be one of these people lmao
never ends up working for me
SAME
Same lol
Im working on it lmao, small steps. Went from waking up at noon to 11, 11 to 10, and so on and now i wake up at 7

They also recommend putting it in a lose “pineapple” at the top so that you don’t lay flat on the outside part of your hair. This works depending on how long your hair is tho. I used to do it and it helped but then cut my hair kinda short and stopped and I could probably do it again by now but I just got used to not doing it
absolutely love your channel!!
😭💛
I'm one of those people too hehe
I love youtube workouts! Ive done them for years.
For my curly/wavy hair, I sleep with slightly damp hair and lift my hair up on my pillow instead of sleeping on it so it gets volume instead of flat waves. Also, maybe a satin hair bonnet or pillow case will help.
Get a stain bonnet. You can find it on amazon . You just flip your hair upside down and put in the bonnet and go to sleep. Mine does not come off, but I can adjust mine to fit my head. Or get ouchless hair ties and do a high ponytail and go to sleep. Look up the curly girl movement on TH-cam
A tip with crunching wavy hair: I use gel instead of mousse. It’s less crunchy and a dime sized amount, with some hair oil, works on my hair (which is like two inches longer than yours). Mousse used to give my hair that crunch occasionally, but it rarely happens with gel! 😁 (don’t use too much or your hair will be oily and gel-like greasy all day) hope this helps!!
I discovered I have wavy hair a few years ago, also thinking my whole life I had straight and weird hair, like you said in ur wavy hair video, and have since learned my favorite ways to style it!
Also, I love waking up early too, but need an hour to really wake up as well 😂
So I have curly hair and I sleep with a satin scrunchie and a pineapple bun. You can also use a satin bonnet to keep it even more intact.
You are simply PRECIOUS Alexa! Absolutely love watching this video. Made me laugh, smile, feel happy, as well as a notch up in being motivated and inspired! LOVE those bike shorts!!! I love it when I'm an early riser, it's so rewarding and satisfying. Also love seeing what you do to remain awake after you've woken up. Sometimes I wake early no problem, other times I try but the intended wake time doesn't end up working as planned- often still waking reasonably early, but not AT the targeted wake time... Feel free to consider doing a vid on tips tricks and strategies on HOW you actually wake and what works for you- anything from how you prepare the night before, and particularly the actually WAKING and getting OUT of the bed. Guaranteed view from me for such a thing, LOL! Take care!
Awwwwwww!!! You gave me a heart!!! 🛳🖋SUBscribed to your channel today! Love you Alexa!!! ❤️
Spray peppermint oil around your windows and doors for a natural way to keep spiders out! Also leaves your home smelling minty 🤗
Ooooh! I’ll have to try that! I have some peppermint oil I use for migraines so I’ll grab that!
Have you tried using a diffuser for your hair? It's super quick and easy to bring out any sort of wave/curl
I’ve only used it once and I definitely need practice 😅
Okay but she’s just such a beautiful person
You should try silk pillow cases for your hair it actually will help keep that bed head under control. The natural properties of silk, including its smooth surface, can help reduce friction on your hair which often causes damage, like spilt ends. It’s the best thing for curly/wavy hair
This type of videos are just my favorite 🥰
Put your hair in a braid or twist at night! I have curly hair, and IT IS A LIFESAVER!!!
Goood morning sunshine ☀️ love ur mornings, very vibrant 💛
My hair is very think and I cut it off a few years ago but now I'm growing it out again. My hair can be extremely wavy so the best thing I've learned is never sleep with it wet and if its super hot out always have a hair tie or hat ready because it gets extremely frizzy
Definitely this is the best morning routin i've ever seen
The fact that you “hide” your food while you work out is the cutest thing ever 😊💕
Me still awake at 5am watching this:
👁👄👁✌️
I have curly hair and i usually do a low ponytail or low braid mostly to prevent it from getting too tangled
🙌🏼 oooh! I’ll try that !!
You and I have the same body type and it makes me feel really confident!
I also get up at 5 my rider is a bit diff, I read have my water, coffee a snack (1st breakfast) then I work out!
I'm a morning person myself. 🌞Always have been. I like the peace of the morning and knowing that the day ahead holds so much potential. If you really want to embrace your waves/curls try the curly girl method. Sierra Schultzzie made some great videos on doing just that. She's a real cutie patootie and spent years straightening her hair. Now she has these beautiful waves and curls. Of course I envy those of you that have naturally curly hair. 😉 This video was so different from the usual but I really liked it. You could feel that peace of the early morning in your video. 👍👍 Totally enjoyed. ❤😊
I love your wavy hair! Now since my hair is long enough I can put my hair in a loose bun on top of my head with a scrunchie by only putting it through one and a half times its supposed to preserve the curls (some people call it a "pineapple") and fall asleep like that. By only putting it through one and a half times its supposed to preserve the curls. Not sure if it's been working, but I do like my hair being out of my fave lol.
Before it was long enough I tied it up in a hair scarf that's made of satin or silk to keep the hair from getting flattened. There are a whole bunch of videos on it. I recommend watching Tabitha Gingerich because has a lot of videos about wavy hair.
Who’s like me writing morning routine and see people’s routines 😂😂
meeeee
I loved the honesty of this video, Alexa! Most interesting morning routine video that I’ve ever seen.
💛💛💛💛
This video came up in my reccomended and omg I just love your personality!! Just subscribed and would love to see more videos like this!
Aww, poor boo boo toes! As a person with large bunny feet, I feel your pain. I'm also perpetually clumsy, so it's not a good combination. I am also a morning person with a similar routine. Loved this video! Hope your foot is better soon!
how do sweat and not want to jump in the shower as soon as you're done? that's superpowers for me right there
This is the most relatebal 5am video i have ever seen! Loved it
I HAVE A THYROID THING TOO and for some reason I was wondering if you did too before you mentioned it!! Same same
I wake up at 5 and go to bed at 9:30. Changing my sleep schedule to this routine has been the absolute best decision!
i feel like people who wake up this early just enjoy their lives and don't want to waste half of it in a comatose state, and honestly i wish i could relate because sometimes I'll just go to sleep to numb my life and just pass the time quicker and not live, so just i am genuinly glade that some people make the most of their lives
love seeing more of your life! this was great!!
Yay! I’m so happy you enjoyed ☺️☺️☺️☺️
I genuinely loved this video!! It was really inspiring tho 🤩 I wake up at 8 am for college (online bc of corona) but I ran out of time every day due all my classes and the lectures, essays , etc (I went crazy and took 6 classes🥺). I will try waking up at 6am so I could be more productive!! Thank you so much Alexa, literally love you 😍
This is i think the real morning routine😉 loved it girl💕
You and I have a really similar hair texture and I also just found out my hair was wavy! I am so excited for your video!
I also like to get up early, but my husband doesn't! Luckily he is a deep sleeper. I can literally blow dry my hair 10 feet from him and he won't wake up. I could never, lol.
Haha ! Omg! That’s everyone in my family! That’s why it’s so surprising that I’m such a morning person!
Trying to be productive while I’m watching all these ‘how to be productive ‘ and literally spent the whole day scrolling thru TH-cam god save me
I’ve got wavy hair and I let it air dry. I put it up in a tight but messy bun while it gets mostly dry, then I take it out of the bun and let it finish drying while I tousle it. 😊
🙌🏼 ooh! I’ll try!!
Love the video 💕 I hope your toe is okay!
💛 I can finally walk again, minus hobbling ! 😅
For sleeping with curly hair, I like to put my hair in a loose ponytail and sleep on top of a pillow with a satin pillowcase(prevents hair breakage)!
Okay waking up to the daily thyroid meds is so relatable I felt that in my soul 😭
You might not be the biggest youtuber on youtube but your my favroite for sure!! I really do see you being big on youtube in a year or so! How long have you been doing youtube???
