Yes, the sunrise thing is so important! If I don’t get that low-angle light exposure first thing in the morning I’m definitely a little more sluggish for that whole day.
My hack for removing make up - I have a large cosmetic bag that I keep downstairs next to the couch. It is packed with cleansers wipes and nighttime treatments and moisturizers. I take my make up off while watching TV.
Love all of these suggestions! The underlying great point is that we forget eating the elephant one bite at a time is okay, and smart living. My 1-5 min thing is using hand weights while watching YT videos - those light weights and minutes add up to better defined arms without much effort.
Every morning when I wake up, I rinse my face with cold water, moisturize, brush teeth and drink 20 ounces of warm water. It’s a great habit that energizes and hydrates. Around my house, I use the OHIO method…Only Handle It Once. Instead of putting a dirty bowl in the sink with the intent of putting it in the dishwasher later, I do it at that time. Really helps with the mounting clutter.
I'm going to try your PanOxyl tip. I quit using aluminum-based antiperspirants years ago, tried making my own, with mixed success, and lately my armpits have been breaking out -- so for several days at a time I just don't use anything, or I use plain coconut oil or even castor oil with a bit of tea tree oil mixed in, until it heals. My usual deodorant is now the deodorant crystal. YES to hiring house cleaners!!! My dog died a couple of years ago and I just couldn't bear to clean anything for over a year, because it felt like I was "cleaning him away." I finally gave in and had someone ELSE clean his nose prints off the front glass storm door. Let someone ELSE vacuum the dog hair and steam clean his black fur out of the white carpets. Let someone ELSE clean the muddy paw prints out of the bathtub, left from the last time I gave him a bath. I had them come back twice a month for several months until that was all taken care of, and now they come back once a month. (I have a full-time job.) I am grateful for their help. And I still really really really miss him.
You look amazing in red! I just ordered a few tops in red. I’ve never worn red, ever. Loving at the moment. I’m a former personal trainer. First thing I teach my clients is exercise to improve posture. With practice it becomes habit, even sitting. Everyone looks and feels taller and thinner! Stand in front of mirror. Breath in for 5 seconds, raising chest, and lifting abs. Blow out without lowering chest. Repeat 4x. After 4 times you’ll see a noticeable difference in posture. Chest will be higher and waist will appear slimmer. I tell clients to practice daily. Takes just a minute and you’ll have huge improvement.
Another good trick for tackling fragrant armpits , is witch hazel , a bacteria killer . I use the rose scented one in the summer and it feels very cooling while smelling fresh
My son is a health massage therapist. For good posture, he recommends leading with your belly button when you stand/walk. This automatically puts everything in alignment. Note: you're not sticking your belly button out forcefully. Just leading with it.
When you were talking about leaving your jewellery out on a tray on your dresser, I thought well, clearly, you don’t have a cat! 😂 Some excellent other suggestions I could implement though, thank you 🙏
You'd be amazed how much more you can accomplish if you involve the entire family in Tidy up Time! 😊 We used to make it a game right before bedtime, accompanied by an upbeat song to get everyone motivated. Just run around and straighten the house until the music stops!
Quarter of a teaspoon about the size of a nickel of sunscreen for the face everyday whether you go out or not.The sun comes in thru your windows, and yes even on cloudy days! I apply mine when I get out of the shower.
Posture is SO important! You will grow the way you stand. Your muscles actually shrink if they are not properly stretched in the right position. Alignment is everything in not only looking good, but in preventing arthritis and aches and pains in the future.
My dermatologist recommends mineral sunscreen which also comes in powder form. The one I have is SPF 30, and you just dust it on your face. It's sheer and doesn't affect the look of makeup or bare skin. The big bonus is there is no greasy residue. I use one made by Èminence.
Yes, the powder is a great idea. I use Neutrogena Mineral Ultra Sheer Dry Touch face and body stick. It is so easy to carry in my purse for mid-errand application. Fragrance free and feels nice. I don't like getting lotion under my nails when I am not somewhere I can wash my hands. Powder sounds like such a good solution too.
Great tip about posture Anna, it's also important to remember to hold our core/tummy in, one of the ladies in your pix had her tummy sticking out, not good for the posture and not a good look. It might feel strange at first to hold your core in but you will quickly get used to it and look so much better too
Posture: when I'm doing deadlifts, my trainer is always reminding me "chest up! chest up! chest up!" I HEAR his voice whenever I'm slumped over. Chest up! and brace brace brace brace!! (And drive through your heels... PUSH PUSH PUSH PUSH!! but that's when I'm squatting... OMG I hear his voice in my head all the time! ) Seriously, though, this is a good list and reminder of how much we can do with small bits of time. Good job and thanks as always!
I wanted to let your know that benzoyl peroxide will bleach your clothes, which is an active ingredient in Pan Oxyl! There are antimicrobial washes without it, such as hibiclense (doctors use this before surgery) 😊 I've used hibiclense before on my face for some stubborn skin breakouts that were bacteria related, it's awesome!
Put an app on your phone. Most are free & you can apply settings to go off every hour or two to remind you to drink water. You can even preset the ounces you want to drink throughout the day & it will tell how much more you need.
Last year I saw a video for hack re beauty and personal care. My favorite one that I now use re underarm odor is to apply witch hazel to the area anytime I feel the need to. The odor is caused by certain bacteria on the skin, which the witch hazel neutralizes and restores the pH of the skin. You can apply the witch hazel liquid by spraying it on, or just get some in your hand and pat it on the area. It only takes a couple of minutes to dry. I do this every morning, or anytime I need to feel refreshed. I discontinued using deodorants with aluminum a couple of years ago, and find this hack to be very helpful. This does not replace cleansing the underarms, but is an inexpensive adjunct to remedy the odor situation. The kind I use has a very slight lavender scent to it, but unscented witch hazel does not smell bad, imo. Thanks ☺️.
Anna I love this video! So many great practical tips some of which I already do and some I’ll implement. At nearly 48 I think I’ve only gone to bed with makeup on maybe two nights of my life. Yuck! I found a gem from a fellow You Tuber called Makeup Erasers from Amazon. They come in a huge pack, are cheap and reusable. I keep a stack handy near my bathroom, grab one each night, flip it over and use it once more the next night. They really do ‘erase’ with water ALL the makeup. I was feeling really bad about filling the landfill with my disposable wipes, and these are completely natural too. Now that my girls are dabbling in makeup I bought them each a set too. 👌🏼
For posture I was taught as a child to pretend that there is a string on the top of your head that is being pulled on or having tension kept on. That has always been my practice and I always get compliments on my posture
Oh! you made me realize that I could be doing jewelry capsules every week just like I try with to do with my clothes -brilliant, I love my jewelry collection and really like to change it up and wear as much of it as possible love your channel and sense of humor 💕thank you... And greetings from California!
I absolutely adore your videos like this. I have incorporated a lot of the suggestions from one of your past videos and they are so good! 15 minutes of morning sun, journal, etc have been great!
Hey I am constantly looking at the videos like this and I just saw one where they recommend all kind of physically procedures . And I am so happy that I saw this video , this really grounded me hahaha. Those are tips that everyone should hear and I am so glad that there are people on internet that give good advices.
Anna! Thank you for caring for us so well! All your 1 min tips are so helpful! I love watching you! Again, I love your hair. It looks so flattering and effortless!
Great video! I'm in decluttering process,I feel a little overwhelmed,but I'm doing it gradually, setting the time whether is 1 min or more,but setting the time maybe a key....
Hey Anna, on the contrary, drinking the water with lemon in the morning actually does do something, more than just refresh you, it really makes the skin glow!! I learned this one from someone on UA-cam about a year and a half ago and I was doing it every morning and my face is glowing like crazy and then when I decided to stop I did notice a difference...so that is a good one for people to try!❤
@@melaniemitchell7238 I would just cut a half of a lemon into a quarter and squeeze that into my water and the water was in a little Dixie cup I was half asleep doing it right in the morning before I would drink my coffee I also drink a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil every morning before anything right before I go to bed that helps with all kinds of things but the most important one is boosting your HDL cholesterol levels. I always had good ones but mine was about 77 and I said I used to be in the 90s what happened and so I started drinking the olive oil every morning I'm sure enough I had my blood drawn 3 months later and I'm at 91 again.
I like to make a game of doing things I hate only during TV commercials. When a commercial comes on, it triggers me into action, like taking garbage out or folding and putting away laundry.
I have a 1 minute sand timer. My child hates cleaning but if we put it on for a minute and my husband is included we can get so much done and the kid will actually enjoy it!
Taking makeup off- years ago, a gal at an expensive makeup counter told me that every night you leave your makeup on, it ages your face TWO WEEKS. no idea if that’s true, but I choose to believe it! When my daughters wanted to start wearing makeup, I told them- if you are old enough to wash your face clean every night- then you can wear makeup.
You know you're describing a grounded person. No one likes the mundane. Thank you for your words of wisdom. Have u ever read the book " Don't Sweat the Small Stuff"? Thank you.
I did a verryyyy long time ago! I need to read that one again, probably. Mark Manson has a UA-cam channel who talks about the same things too he’s great he just has very colorful language 😄❤️🤣
This is really good. I like this a lot. I like one minute tips. There are a .ot of good ones that need to be reminded. There is another UA-camr who talks about this method all of the time but she does it for sometimes 5 minutes up to 20 minutes. She talks about it all the time but like you were saying 20 minutes seems sooo long. It is called the Pomodoro Technique.
I use Whering app ..I love it and can include my ootd into it. It's free! So on a Saturday I check the weekly weather forecast then plan my outfits. It saves them so sometimes when I just go in an make outfits and save them as casual, formal, fitness, around the house or work. So I already have outfits to pick from. I then upload them for the week and make a packing list. I can make sure everything is clean, doesn't need repairs and put items in a basket for Sunday ironing. Everything is hung or put on my dressing table (or shoes, belts, handbags in an allocated spot). Every morning I can get up and spend a minute grabbing my items!!
Great video. Awesome advice! I've practiced this and you will absolutely be surprised as to how little time it takes to do most tasks. It gives you a different perspective and makes it easier to do anything.
Thank you for all your chic fashion styling and purchasing advice and an additional thank you for taking the time to add suggestions for healthy living . Brava!
Great tips Anna! Thanks so much for sharing this info, some are obvious, but others not so much. I'm not sure I would have even thought to do some deep breathing when I'm feeling a bit stressed out. Great reminder to calm myself. Thanks again!
Sunscreen really is essential. I've been using a SPF day cream since I was a teenager. It was only 15SPF but it has me looking at least 10 years younger now at 45. I upped the factor to at least 25SPF when I turned 40. I refuse to buy make up that has zero SPF. In Summer I use a SPF50 any time I leave the house and specially when we are somewhere with a lake or beach. There are many light formulas developed for the face. They're not greasy at all.
I’ve been watching your videos for a while, and I look forward to them. I absolutely love my Songmont, I bought one just like yours. I also love your nude sandals! I have been looking for those. Also need to find those monochrome outfits. You posted on one of your shorts. I’m shopping for them right now on Amazon and hoping I find them. They’re gorgeous!
OMG , THANK YOU for the Pan Oxyl recommendation. Since I washed with a disinfectant as prep for my hysterectomy last summer, I think I killed off good bacteria and my skin microbiome got out of balance ONLY IN MY RIGHT ARMPIT. I am taking a screenshot of this product to the drug store. I will let you know if this helps get rid of this stubborn bacteria on my right side. I've been using dish soap and a well worn, soft bottle brush, repeating three times. It has made me self conscious and miserable in spite of extra scrubbing and extra deodorant. The face wash sounds mild enough to not irritate the tender skin. It's still a little cool in Chicago, but I am hoping to get a little sun on that shady area this weekend. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️
It's also important to remember that when you visit the mountains. You need to bring sunscreen. Just because you're not at the beach doesn't mean you don't need it. In fact, in the mountains you're closer to the sun
While I agree with the sunscreen suggestion, your reasoning is a bit off. It isn’t the closer proximity to the sun, which is negligible, but rather the thinner air when at higher altitudes.
Balance a book on your head as you walk…we were made to do this during grammar and secondary school…with and without high heels…( Central Europe), I still get random compliments re my posture…can still balance the book easily at 72.
I really like your make up. I don't know if I've ever seen you with red lipstick and not usually where are you right? And it's really pretty on you. I really love that make up on you.❤
Thanks so much to Homeaglow for sponsoring today’s video! Head to www.homeaglow.com/annareid to get your first 3 hours of cleaning for only $19!
It takes a little longer than a minute (closer to 10) but going outside at sunrise and/or sunset makes a huge difference in how I feel.
Yes, the sunrise thing is so important! If I don’t get that low-angle light exposure first thing in the morning I’m definitely a little more sluggish for that whole day.
I love this! I do this (almost) every morning and it makes such a huge difference in my day ❤❤
Thanks for sharing this gold nugget! 🙏🏼
Seeing the sun rise seems lovely but impossible for me. I’m so tired every morning. I do love sunsets❤
@@reneebennett643 I wasn't a morning person for about 15 years but worked at altering my circadian rhythm last summer but it's made a big difference.
My hack for removing make up - I have a large cosmetic bag that I keep downstairs next to the couch. It is packed with cleansers wipes and nighttime treatments and moisturizers. I take my make up off while watching TV.
Great idea!
Wipes don’t take off everything, use it in conjunction with coconut oil.
@@thatgirl3960 you are correct- I apply an oil based cleanser before the wipes
Love all of these suggestions! The underlying great point is that we forget eating the elephant one bite at a time is okay, and smart living. My 1-5 min thing is using hand weights while watching YT videos - those light weights and minutes add up to better defined arms without much effort.
I'm gonna try that while watching the rest of this video! Thanks!
@@Erica-en2qz - That's awesome! ♥
I love this! I mentioned in another video that I like to get a juicy, page turning novel on audio for the gym to keep me in there longer! 😄❤️
What an awesome idea!
I do the same with a booty band: Placing it around my ankles and walking while watching YT videos in my living room.
Every morning when I wake up, I rinse my face with cold water, moisturize, brush teeth and drink 20 ounces of warm water. It’s a great habit that energizes and hydrates. Around my house, I use the OHIO method…Only Handle It Once. Instead of putting a dirty bowl in the sink with the intent of putting it in the dishwasher later, I do it at that time.

OHIO changed me forever! I'm not perfect, but it really helps me feel like I have my crap together when I just deal with it right away, lol

To clean the house, I turn on music and see how much I can do before the song ends. Then I move to the next room for the next song.
Fun tip! Love it!
Come on over! All I'll ask is one quick room & I'll even play the Minute Waltz for you! 😂😉❤️
@@rhondagarden8878 i’m sure you already know that waltz

They are such little thieves! 😂 Mine steals my hair elastics.
I always drink water before coffee. I also add collagen powder to my coffee, so I am not caffeinating without protein in my stomach.
I do the same 🎉
You'd be amazed how much more you can accomplish if you involve the entire family in Tidy up Time! 😊 We used to make it a game right before bedtime, accompanied by an upbeat song to get everyone motivated. Just run around and straighten the house until the music stops!

My daughter is an esthetician and she tested a bunch of sunscreens. She really likes how well the powder ones worked.
Taking pics and putting into a folder is called a look book. Excellent idea. I keep saying im going to do this

I like your idea of setting out a tray of jewelry that you wear most often. Good tip.
A great reminder of things (mostly) that I’ve known but somehow it got lost along the way! Thanx!! I’m going to work on this

We used to call it a “ten minute tidy”. I would put on a timer and music. I need to start that again!
Hi Anna, as I sit here in yesterday's makeup, reading your one minute tips, I realize how much can get done in one minute. Great tips :)
lol thank you, Cindy! Also, we’ve all been there 😄
Whenever I do a water fast or keto, I don’t need deodorant. I’m assuming carbs cause the BO bacteria?? But yeah, for me, low carbs = no BO!

Great video. Awesome advice! I've practiced this and you will absolutely be surprised as to how little time it takes to do most tasks. It gives you a different perspective and makes it easier to do anything.
Thank you. i always enjoy your videos. i appreciate the ideas and tips.
Oh, you look so good!
Thank you, Linda! ❤️❤️
Thank you for all your chic fashion styling and purchasing advice and an additional thank you for taking the time to add suggestions for healthy living . Brava!
I took a pause on your video and finished two less-than-1-minute tasks out of my list. Thanks for the great reminders!! 😁💕
That's great! Love this! ❤️❤️❤️
That was helpful and some new ideas. Love your style!
Great tips Anna! Thanks so much for sharing this info, some are obvious, but others not so much. I'm not sure I would have even thought to do some deep breathing when I'm feeling a bit stressed out. Great reminder to calm myself. Thanks again!
I just found your channel today,and loved this video. I look forward to watching more episodes 👍.
Sunscreen really is essential. I've been using a SPF day cream since I was a teenager. It was only 15SPF but it has me looking at least 10 years younger now at 45. I upped the factor to at least 25SPF when I turned 40. I refuse to buy make up that has zero SPF. In Summer I use a SPF50 any time I leave the house and specially when we are somewhere with a lake or beach. There are many light formulas developed for the face. They're not greasy at all.
Loved the hack with the cleaning timer! And the breathing one 💕
Great suggestions! Thank you for the reminders of how much we can accomplish in a short amount of time.
Thank you, Anna, this was a great video! 😊
I’ve been watching your videos for a while, and I look forward to them. I absolutely love my Songmont, I bought one just like yours. I also love your nude sandals! I have been looking for those. Also need to find those monochrome outfits. You posted on one of your shorts. I’m shopping for them right now on Amazon and hoping I find them. They’re gorgeous!
Every morning I drink a glass of water with 1/4 teaspoon of Celtic salt and a squeeze of lime.
That’s so healthy! I’ve been making sure I get my electrolytes in every day too! ❤️
And in the afternoon, a shot of tequila right 😂
Very helpful! Especially the posture trick! I’ve never heard that before. Thanks.!
You’re right
It’s been chilly in SoCal this week
So I haven’t felt wearing jewelry
This was so great. Thank you! ❤
You are so welcome!
I love all of these thoughts! And I love your videos, they are so inspiring! ❤
Great list and info! Thanks!
OMG , THANK YOU for the Pan Oxyl recommendation. Since I washed with a disinfectant as prep for my hysterectomy last summer, I think I killed off good bacteria and my skin microbiome got out of balance ONLY IN MY RIGHT ARMPIT. I am taking a screenshot of this product to the drug store. I will let you know if this helps get rid of this stubborn bacteria on my right side. I've been using dish soap and a well worn, soft bottle brush, repeating three times. It has made me self conscious and miserable in spite of extra scrubbing and extra deodorant. The face wash sounds mild enough to not irritate the tender skin.
It's still a little cool in Chicago, but I am hoping to get a little sun on that shady area this weekend.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Aw I hope this helps! I have sensitive under arms too and this hasn’t ever bothered me ❤️❤️
Great Video Anna❤
So true. Thanks.
❤️❤️❤️
Great 1 minute ideas and I do some of them....
Loved these tips🎉
FYI. Lemon juice in the morning, does kick starts your digestive process. It’s good for your gut! Drink it about 20-30 minutes before you eat.
Thanks a lot for your latest video! So many great tips I havn´t thinking about before. /Marie from Sweden
just a thought - it would be lovely for you to demonstrate your makeup routine~
It's also important to remember that when you visit the mountains. You need to bring sunscreen. Just because you're not at the beach doesn't mean you don't need it. In fact, in the mountains you're closer to the sun
Lycopene in watermelon is a natural sunscreen.
Sunscreen is toxic.. the sun is good for you
That’s a great point! ❤️❤️❤️
While I agree with the sunscreen suggestion, your reasoning is a bit off. It isn’t the closer proximity to the sun, which is negligible, but rather the thinner air when at higher altitudes.
Great suggestions, thank you!
Not gross at all, I hope you are about to change my life with the armpit wash hack.... literally the exact same face wash I use anyway.
No way! And I hope so too! It made my summer months much less problematic 😄
Thanks Anna, very helpful info and very nice video!
Always like new tips from you ❤
Stand against a wall to straighten your posture
ive done that before to works great when you have a wall! 😄❤️
Balance a book on your head as you walk…we were made to do this during grammar and secondary school…with and without high heels…( Central Europe), I still get random compliments re my posture…can still balance the book easily at 72.
For tip #1 what I do is when I am free I try to create outfits and take mirror pics so it's easy later😂
Such a good video!
Glad you liked this one! ❤️❤️
I really like your make up. I don't know if I've ever seen you with red lipstick and not usually where are you right? And it's really pretty on you. I really love that make up on you.❤
Fun video. Thank u
I love the armpit idea! Being in a rock band during the summer can be really stinky!
Love the pic of the outfit idea!
I keep an extra thing of make up removers and face cream beside my bed for those days when I don't feel like doing a good job
I do the same thing with my jewelry 😊
😄❤️❤️❤️
THANK GOD ❤
