I've been eyeing Merit too - especially their new tinted sunscreen (a 2-in-1 product, sign me up!). I use their blush and it is great but haven't branched out beyond that.

I LOVE the merit foundation (?) stick. The highlighter and bronzer sticks are fine. I rarely purchase things twice.. but I love the foundation. I treat it more like a concealer (which I think it’s supposed to be both concealer and foundation) and use it with a tinted sunscreen moisturizer. It does wonders! Just make sure your face is prepped well before use.

I love! I have been going to the gym in the morning for an hour long workout class, I’ve built community which holds me accountable and it always starts my day on the right foot. I only have to wake up 30 minutes before my kids to have an hour & half to myself. My husband can tackle the initial morning requests & chaos 3x a week. It’s a win in my book!

I now have to go binge watch sirens after your rec! Also something that has helped me with working out is scheduling it in my calendar so I don’t book over it. Thank you for those six steps, I gotta go fill my water bottle now!

Yep, it’s the only way - building it into routine and habit stacking! - I’ve been exercising directly after school drop off every single day for years and I can’t imagine it working any other way. It’s just part of the morning routine and it’s convenient and sustainable. So glad you found a system that works for you too! I remember talking a few months ago when you were still trying to figure it all out.
