Before the big update, I thought I'd give you an overview into my morning routine. In the past, I'd just be able to get up, get dressed, have my breakfast and go to work. 20 minutes at most.
Now, it takes a bit longer. almost three times as long. I can't leave anything out, it all has to be done. It's my choice and I am not complaining and hopefully it will give you an idea of what I go through on a normal work day.

5.00 - alarm goes off.
5.00.15s - realise it's a work day and get up.
5.01 - tie hair up, dressing gown and slippers on.
5.03 - into bathroom to wash face/shave face and top of chest/shower.
5.10 - back into bedroom. TV on (Jeremy Kyle).
5.11 - Fully dry off, moisturise knees, elbows, shoulders and chest where shaved.
5.14 - Cleanse, tone and moisturise face.
5.17 - Prime chin, under eyes and nose
5.18 - apply panstick to chin/nose/sideburn area and powder
5.20 - apply foundation, powder and blend in so no tide mark.
5.25 - Eyebrows/eyeliner/mascara.
5.28 - Lipstick and blusher.
5.31 - Deodorant/bodyspray
5.32 - put on foundation underwear.
5.33 - put on bra and breast forms.
5.34 - put on necklace
5.35 - Get dressed.
5.38 - brush hair and put in ponytail.
5.40 - put on rest of jewellery.
5.42 - make breakfast and eat.
5.45 - clean teeth.
5.48 - put on coat, get handbag, get lunch.
5.50 - leave house, get in car, drive to work.
6.30 - arrive at work.

So there you have it. It will get easier and shorter as things progress. However, if everything goes to plan, it is going to get worse first. I am hopefully moving soon and a consequence of that will be a 4.45am start as my journey to work will be longer. I wouldn't go back to the old routine though - or the person. This is all totally worth it!
