A Slow Morning with a Hyperactive ADHD Brain 🌤️
15
items Usually I can manage a slow morning on weekends, but I'm trying to make it my norm during the week as well. Whether I choose hot tea or espresso, I always end up on the couch with my cats and weighted blanket to welcome in the new day.

Love this natural brand - it's the perfect little spritz to refresh in the morning. Even if I don't feel like doing full skincare, *it's something.* I have bottles upstairs and downstairs.
Facial Mist - Earth Harbor (Tidal Rose Hydration Mist)

I use this before breakfast each morning (i.e. before I sit down). Currently, I stand on the lowest setting for 3-5 minutes and breathe deeply. The vibration wakes my body up a bit and naturally prompts me to stretch when I step off. It's a newer add...
ND Tip: The unseen “tax” on neurodivergent individuals is very real. I found this on a liquidation auction app and won it for $7. It doesn't have the remote, but I've figured out how to do everything directly on the machine. Save a few bucks where yo...

Sitting on the couch under my weighted blanket is the sure sign of a slow morning. <3 Anything over 10lbs is too heavy for me, at least in this smaller size (40"x60").
Naps are an important part of my regulating toolkit, and I grab this blanket for all of them.

I use these in a pinch but also purchase candles from a local boutique. Lighting one each morning signals a cleansing, fresh start to the day.

This lives on my refrigerator, which means it doesn't clutter my countertop or hide in a drawer. The magnets on each container and the holder strip is plenty strong. And these are a great size for my big Omega-3 and magnesium tablets.

One of my best Facebook Marketplace finds! The frother is the best I've had, and the person I bought it from threw in 10+ boxes of Nespresso decaf pods… This system uses the original pods. Yum!
Nespresso - Breville Creatista Plus in Black

Adorable, right?! I often sip the espresso straight from the cup. It’s perfect for a double shot.
90% of the time, I'm drinking decaf. (Espresso blasphemy, but IYKYK!)

I'm usually a hot coffee gal, but I figured I might as well have an iced option. And it's actually delicious. The “iced” button brews it perfectly (vs my attempts). I believe this particular Keurig is only available at Walmart.
ND Tip: If you're like me and use your drinks for stimulation throughout the day - like 9 different drinks a day and they'll change tomorrow - get a hot and iced option. More variety = more better!

This kettle is too cute and has been going strong for 2+ years now.
Taking the lid off to add water is a little “egggh” because it's metal on metal, but it's worth it.

An oversized mug for hot tea on a quiet morning… I typically go for rooibos since it's caffeine free, but I'll occasionally have black tea with a bit of honey.
I couldn't find my current favorite mug (last pic), but these two have been in my cart for a while. I'm sure they'll join my collection in the fall.

I have a candle warmer lamp in my kitchen and main bathroom. The kitchen lamp is primarily for smelling the house up good! It helps me wake up in the morning and works quickly when company is coming over.

My Kindle is old as dirt, but this seems to be the least expensive current version (which is the one I would buy). I like using the highlight feature as I read and find a Kindle so much easier to manage than a physical book. I actually finish books s...

I can't mentally function when my lips are dry. There is no product in the world that I've used longer or more consistently than Chapstick. I buy it in bulk so I always have a backup ready. I keep a tube in my car, purse, and several spots in the hou...

A rare gift for myself bought on the Black Friday deal. I really like this thing. It doesn't have to be worn for long, and it makes me feel like I'm doing something extra for my skin. Can I promise it makes a big difference? No. But did I do a lot of...
