Hello you guys, and welcome back to another episode of the Hawkerel Energy Podcast.
0:18
I'm your host, Kayleie, and this is your weekly reminder that it's
0:20
a new day, a new week, a new mindset, and another day
0:24
for you to become the Hawkgrel energy you want to attract. Welcome back to
0:27
another episode. I have obviously been not on the podcast for the past two
0:35
weeks. I have not recorded an episode because, as you guys know,
0:38
I was traveling. I was in Mexico for the week with my family,
0:43
which I'm gonna have a bit of a recap on, and then literally I
0:46
came home and not even twenty four hours later, I was off to Montreal
0:50
with Zach and now I'm home. So the reason why there wasn't a podcast
0:56
episode last week is because of me going to Montreal. I I didn't think
1:00
there was enough time to record and edit an episode when I had to basically
1:03
unpack, resort my life out, repack, and head somewhere else the following
1:08
day. And it was also Thursday, so I came home on a Wednesday
1:12
night. It was a Thursday when I got back to my place, and
1:18
yeah, basically all day Thursday, I was just unpacking, repacking, you
1:23
know, just doing a quick little travel reset, which really wasn't a reset,
1:26
it was more so just getting my life in order. And then Friday,
1:30
Zach and I left for Montreal for our anniversary weekend. And now we're
1:34
here, it's Monday, and yeah, we're back in the groove of things,
1:40
and I really wanted to make an episode kind of what's relating with my
1:42
life right now, which is getting back into routine, resetting, just really
1:48
yeah, getting back into things, because usually when you travel, you try
1:53
to stay in a healthy routine. But let's be honest, like you indulge,
1:57
you want to indul like you're on vacation, you should be able to
2:00
do whatever you want. Obviously I wasn't working out much anything like that.
2:05
So I'm going to share with you guys just some things I do to help
2:07
me through my reset and just getting back into routine, into healthy habits all
2:13
that. So this is everything I do when I get back from traveling and
2:16
how I just get back into it asap. If my voice is sounding weird,
2:21
I think it's because I'm kind of getting sick, which is very unfortunate.
2:23
But I've been trying my best just to yeah, stay as healthy as
2:29
I can, drinking fluids, resting all that, I would say, it's
2:32
just, yeah, I'm just feeling overtired and all that. That's my fault
2:36
for deciding to book an anniversary trip literally a day after being home from a
2:42
week long trip. But hey, you know what, I don't regret it.
2:45
Everything was fantastic. I had the most amazing week with my family in
2:47
Mexico. I had a few questions as to why Zach didn't come on the
2:52
trip, because usually he does come on my family trips with my parents and
2:54
my sister. But Zach just got a new job about four weeks ago,
3:00
so he really just could not take the time off for obvious reasons, and
3:06
for our wedding, Zach is taking off the whole month of August, so
3:09
like he can only do so much, which I totally understand, so he
3:14
decided to obviously not come on the trip with us for obvious reasons. But
3:17
you know what, it was a really really nice time to spend time with
3:21
family. I feel like, you know, I usually see my parents,
3:23
I want to say, like twice a week since I've moved out, Like,
3:25
I try my best to make an effort to go see them, have
3:30
a dinner with them every Sunday. That's something we do, whether I cook
3:32
them dinner, they cook me dinner. It's just our Sunday ritual that we
3:36
do every Sunday night. But other than that, like obviously, I'm not
3:40
living at home, so I don't spend as much time with them. So
3:44
the vacation felt really needed, and I think my parents really enjoyed my company
3:49
there with them and then just enjoying quality time with my sister. It was
3:53
a very relaxing trip. We literally just tanned all day by the pool,
3:57
had some drinks, had some chips in guas I read, you guys would
4:01
have been so proud of me. I literally almost finished the book. I'm
4:03
almost done it. I'm determined to finish it, hopefully within the next week
4:08
or two. I am reading Ugly Love. I am so obsessed with it.
4:13
I think I'm more obsessed with it compared to the last book that I
4:15
read, which was Meet Me at the Lake. I never actually finished that
4:18
one because I don't know if I told you guys that I had it for
4:23
my trip for Italy, and I read half of it and I somehow spilt
4:28
a water bottle in my bag, and I had a paper copy of the
4:31
book, and the ONONDR book got soaked and then once I air dried it,
4:38
it got covered in mold, so I had to throw it out unfortunately.
4:42
So what's funny is that when I purchased Ugly Love, my sister ended
4:45
up purchasing Meet Me at the Lake. So my sister's actually reading that right
4:47
now. So once she's done with it, I'm going to finish the book.
4:50
That way, I can actually finish it. But I decided to read
4:55
Ugly Love just because I was like, you know what, like i'd rather
4:58
just start something else from the tr I didn't want to just like start back
5:00
with the other one. I'm like, you know what, I do want
5:01
to finish it, but because my sister bought it, I just thought,
5:04
you know what, I will eventually finish it once she's done reading it.
5:09
But I really really like Ugly Love, Like I actually am obsessed with it.
5:13
So I'm really happy that I started to read that throughout the trip,
5:15
and just I was addicted, Like literally the entire time I was standing,
5:18
I was just reading, and it was such a nice break from being off
5:21
my phone. So yeah, it was great and I tried to get as
5:25
much content and as I could for videos and such for TikTok and Instagram,
5:29
But honestly, guys, my account was acting up for some reason while I
5:32
was in Mexico with my TikTok. It was not loading the videos, it
5:35
wasn't uploading. It was really really stressful, to be honest. But I
5:39
was able to upload a few videos after the fact, and yeah, I
5:43
did what I could, but it is what it is. So I apologize
5:46
for not having as much vacation content as I hoped just due to that account
5:49
issue. But we're back and I'm happy to be back. It was a
5:54
great trip. We were into Loom. We stayed at the Hilton to Loom
5:58
Resort. I put all the information in a Instagram highlight, so if you
6:00
guys want to see anything about my trip there, you guys can see it
6:04
there. But the food was great, the staff was great. It was
6:08
a pretty new resort. I think it was about two years old, so
6:11
they still had some things that they were working on. Like. They didn't
6:15
have the greatest entertainment in my opinion from previous resorts that I've been to,
6:19
Like at night, you know how usually they have an entertainment staff, like
6:23
there was entertainment, but it could be better, Like it wasn't the greatest.
6:27
The staff that was really really nice, really great, the just the
6:30
quality of the resort just overall ten out of ten, like absolutely stunning.
6:35
I will say that was one of the nicest resorts I've been to in Mexico.
6:40
But I'm actually going back. I don't know if I told you guys
6:44
that, but I'm going back to Mexico for my birthday, which I'm actually
6:47
going with a hotel, which I'm really excited about. I forget what the
6:50
hotel is called, to be honest, but it's a wellness event that I
6:54
got invited to, so I'm super excited about that. But yeah, I've
6:59
never been into this hotel before, so apparently it's really really nice. It's
7:01
owned by Nobu. You guys know what Nobu is. It's a chain of
7:05
hotels and restaurants and it's like very well known. I'm sure you guys know
7:11
Nobuu obviously, but it's owned by the same owner and as well as a
7:14
hard rock cafe, so I'm expecting a very high end hotel from who has
7:18
owned it. But I'm very very excited for that as well. But I
7:21
love Mexico. It's such a beautiful place to be. I really did need
7:27
the sun and I really needed a tan. Coming home and seeing my tan
7:30
lines just makes me so happy, And yeah, there's nothing better than a
7:35
fresh tan, let's be honest, girls. And I feel like I always
7:38
get so much darker when I go to Mexico versus when I get a tan,
7:43
like in the summer. I think it's because the UV is stronger over
7:46
there versus here. So I don't know. I feel like this is the
7:48
tann as I've ever been in my life. I've never been this dark before.
7:51
Not complaining, but there was a bit of behind the scenes, and
7:56
I never told you guys through social media just because I was like, I
7:59
don't feel the need to share this, but I wanted to share it with
8:01
you guys because there was a bit of a hiccup when I got home from
8:03
the trip, to the point where I almost had to go to urgent care
8:07
because it was that bad. I am pretty sure I'm allergic to the sun.
8:13
Like fully, I am allergic to the sun. Like I thought it
8:16
was a heat rash, but it was not. Based on my research.
8:20
It basically was telling me that I had sun poisoning all over my body.
8:24
So I came home. What I thought was a heat rash on my legs,
8:28
just like bumps, hives, extremely itchy all that. It ended up
8:31
spreading all over my body and like I took photos all weekend in Montrealogy,
8:37
you guys thought, so it wasn't very noticeable, but I had it all
8:39
over my hands. It started to spread on my face like it was pretty
8:43
stressful. It wasn't very noticeable because it was just bumps, right, but
8:48
it was so itchy, guys, like, so so itchy. Anyways,
8:52
ended up going down just from applying alivera, taking cold showers, cold compress,
8:56
like when I tell you I did everything, guys, took Benadryl,
9:01
I took all the allergy medication you can think of. I took an oatmeal
9:03
bath, an oatmeal bath, like, I literally did everything that Google told
9:07
me to do, and eventually it started to go down. But for the
9:11
past week I have been basically covered in hives, red, itchy, swollen,
9:16
like it was. Yeah, not the best way to end the trip.
9:22
But I can finally say starting yesterday it started to go down. Today
9:26
is like it's basically gone. And I truly think it's just from doing all
9:30
the things that Google told me to do. But my goodness, like when
9:33
I got it started at the end of the trip. So it started last
9:39
Tuesday, I think, and then by Wednesday when we were coming home,
9:41
it was really bad, and then Thursday, Friday was pretty bad. Saturday
9:46
it was getting a bit better when we were in Montreal, and then Sunday
9:50
it was starting to get better as well. So it is what it is.
9:54
I feel so much better now, But be careful with that sun,
9:56
guys. I think I should have not gone so hardcore, Like obviously I
10:01
tried to go in the shade. I never tann my face. I always
10:05
have a hat whenever i'm tanning. But I think it was just from you
10:09
know, not being exposed to the sun for like the past five months because
10:13
of obviously being winter here in Canada and the sun hasn't been out that much,
10:18
and then going straight to Mexico and then tanning for like, you know,
10:22
five to six days straight and then just soaking up all the sunshine and
10:24
all that. I think my body was kind of like, what the fuck
10:28
are you doing? And it just gave me a rash everywhere. So that's
10:31
that. But I'm feeling way better. It's all gone, So happy that's
10:35
gone. And then Montreal was super fun. Zach and I. We celebrated
10:39
our eleven years. Can we talk about that eleven friaking years? Like Zach
10:43
and I were like, I can't believe it's been eleven years since twenty thirteen,
10:48
Zach and I have been dating. And it was just a nice little
10:52
weekend getaway. We stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel in Montreal, which if
10:56
you have never stayed at this hotel, you need to stay this hotel.
10:58
When I tell you it was the best service I've ever received in my life.
11:03
The hotel room was stunnying. The hotel in general was stunnying. Like
11:07
they were absolutely amazing. Like the staff was by far, like so attentive,
11:13
like they just did everything for you. Our room was cleaned like five
11:18
times within the day. Like you left the hotel room, you'd come back,
11:20
like they folded your clothes, they had waters out for you, like
11:24
just like the smallest little detail of things that you would not expect from a
11:28
hotel, they just did. So I think they came in our room,
11:31
like I said, three to four times that day, and we were just
11:35
so shocked just to see how they just tidied up every single time. So
11:39
yeah, it was such a nice little getaway. I love Montreal so much,
11:43
and I met so many of you guys. Oh my goodness. I
11:48
was so shocked and I was so happy. I went to Whole Renfrew and
11:52
there was a girl that worked at the Whole Renfrew and she literally made my
11:54
day. She was the sweetest human being. She was like, I'm I'm
12:00
so happy I met you. I manifested this. I knew I was going
12:03
to see you today, and it literally almost made me cry, just because
12:05
I was like, are you kidding me? Like the fact you said that
12:07
right now just put the biggest smile on my face. So I was so
12:11
shocked, just you know, for her to be working at Holt and then
12:13
helping Zach and I, oh, because we were looking for our wedding sense
12:18
for our wedding. So she was super sweet. And then Zach and I
12:20
went out for dinner at this amazing restaurant in Old Montreal. It's called Dante
12:28
Marcella. I believe I will try and tag the restaurant in my most recent
12:33
Instagram post because I tagged a photo of Zach and I or I posted a
12:35
photo story of Zach and I with us holding hands at the restaurant. But
12:39
by far the best Italian restaurant that I've ever been to, not even over
12:43
exaggerating coming from an Italian myself. I love their food. That was a
12:48
second time Zach and I have been there, and just again the stuff is
12:50
so great and the restaurant vibes are so so sick. But anyways, it
12:54
was someone's birthday. There was a group of girls there and two girls came
12:58
over and they said, oh you Kayleie, like we follow you on TikTok
13:01
all that, and I was like, oh my god, Like I didn't
13:03
realize how many people in Montreal followed me. So so sweet that you came
13:09
up to me and said Hi. I love when you guys do that.
13:11
If you guys ever see me, please come up and say hi to me.
13:13
It literally makes my day. And we're just busties, Like I just
13:16
like love chatting with you guys, getting to know you, and you know,
13:20
I'm just obviously very appreciated for you guys following me and all that and
13:24
just following my life and being involved and supporting me and all that. So
13:26
it was so great to meet all of you in Montreal who came up to
13:30
me. You guys were the sweetest and it really did make my trip,
13:33
so thank you for that. But yeah, all in all, it was
13:37
a great weekend. And now we're home, and I'm happy to be home,
13:41
Like I'm happy to be back with Freddie. I'm happy to be back
13:43
in my own bed. Let's talk about sleeping in your own bed after not
13:48
being in it for like two weeks. It's literally the best feeling ever.
13:52
And yeah, just coming home to a clean home as well. I did
13:56
clean the house up a bit before we left, just because I hate coming
13:58
home to a messy home like that is like my biggest pet peeve. So
14:01
having the house all nice and clean it was really nice. I had to
14:05
do a bit of tidying up, just of like putting the dishes away from
14:07
the dishwasher all that, but all in all, the house was in pretty
14:11
good shape. And now we're here. Now we're trying to get back into
14:15
a healthy routine because I have not really worked out in the past two weeks.
14:20
Like I went to the gym at the resort in Mexico twice while I
14:24
was there, But I don't know, I wouldn't say it was the most
14:26
effective workout, Like I literally just did twenty minute workouts, quick and easy,
14:31
just for me to move my body a bit. I walked every single
14:33
day when I was in Mexico. But I had a few questions on Instagram
14:37
like asking how I maintain a healthy lifestyle while I'm traveling, And to be
14:41
honest, I try my best to continue to move my body, to continue
14:46
to eat healthy foods, like I always try and make sure I have other
14:48
vegetables or fruit, you know, walking all that. But I truly want
14:54
to enjoy myself on vacation, so I don't want to restrict myself from any
14:58
eating habits, Like I don't want to, you know, not indulge on
15:03
the foods that I want to eat, because let's be honest, when you're
15:05
on vacation, one of the key things is what you're eating on your trip.
15:09
So for an example, one thing that I talk about when Zach and
15:11
I went to Italy to go look at our wedding venues is I talk about
15:13
some of the restaurants that we went to and how good the food was.
15:16
And how amazing the tidomysou was or whatever. Like food is a part of
15:22
the trip, Like, let's be honest, Like if you're not indulging,
15:24
and if you're not eating the food that you want to eat, like,
15:26
what's the only thing that's really memorable from the trip? Maybe seeing the sites?
15:30
Like eating is a huge component of going on vacation. I find trying
15:33
new foods, trying new restaurants, like it's something that people look forward to
15:39
doing. Maybe it's just because I'm a foodie, but for me, I
15:41
like to remember the things that I ate when I went on vacation. So
15:46
I used to be that kind of person where I was super restrictive and I
15:48
never really indulged on trips like oh I don't want to eat ice cream,
15:52
that's too fattening or whatever. I am not that girl anymore. What I've
15:56
realized is that it's such a short period of time of indulge. You're not
16:00
going to gain all this week back from eating unhealthy for a week or a
16:04
few days, Like you will get back into a routine when you get back
16:07
home, and you will get back into your healthy habits. So for me,
16:11
personally, indulge, eat what you want, Eat what makes you happy.
16:15
I had dessert every single night. I had ice cream every single night.
16:18
I enjoyed it so much. Did my body change No, I literally
16:22
have not seen any difference. But it's not even about that at the end
16:25
of the day, just eat what you want, eat what makes you happy,
16:26
and then just know that when you get back home, you'll get back
16:30
into your healthy habits, you'll get back into working out. So don't stress
16:33
about it, just because I had a few questions about that, and I
16:34
just really wanted to be truthful and honest, and yeah, I try my
16:38
best, but the reality is you're on vacation and you want to enjoy yourself.
16:42
So anyways, let's get into this episode. We're gonna be talking about
16:47
how I'm getting back into routine after traveling for the past two weeks. So
16:52
a lot of these things that I'm talking about some of the things I have
16:53
already done. Some of the things I have not done or I'm still working
16:57
on. But I try compose this list for myself of everything that I need
17:03
to do when I get home from a trip in order for me to get
17:04
back into routine. This could also be for someone who has struggled to get
17:08
back into routine, just you know, might have been really busy with work
17:11
or school and you're having a hard time creating a routine for yourself and getting
17:15
back into a workout schedule. For an example, this would be a really
17:18
good episode to listen to just to get back into that. So for me,
17:22
the first thing that I do is that it's Monday. What I did
17:26
this morning is I wrote out all my goals for this week. So what
17:29
is everything that I have to get done this week? What is my biggest
17:32
priority for each day? So I write out from Monday to Sunday, I
17:36
write everything that I need to get done this week, whether it's work wise,
17:38
personal wise, like housewise, what do I need to clean in the
17:42
house, anything like that. That way I feel organized for the week,
17:45
appointments, all that. I just feel like I'm ready to plan out my
17:51
day for each day and just figure out Okay, Like Tuesdays are my podcast
17:55
days, right, so usually I'm editing the podcast and all that. So
17:57
just little things like that, keeping notes of what I have to get done
18:02
for each day, and I like to write out those things on the Monday.
18:06
That way I feel ready to take on the week, like I know
18:08
what to expect, there's no surprises or anything. On the day of.
18:12
It just also makes me feel like, okay, like I got my shit
18:15
together starting on a Monday, like starting out fresh, starting out good.
18:21
I then always like to plan out my workouts for the week, because I
18:23
think this is one thing that people always struggle with when they get home from
18:26
a vacation. Obviously, you're tired, you're exhausted, you feel like you
18:30
don't have the energy to do a workout. But what I love is booking
18:33
workout classes. I always always always try and book at least three workout classes
18:37
that week, specifically when I get back from traveling. So I booked one
18:41
today, so I'm actually going right after I'm recording this. I then booked
18:45
two more this week, one on Saturday, and then I think the other
18:48
one's on the Thursday, but I can't remember Thursday or Friday. So I
18:52
did that because I was like, Okay, I want to do three spin
18:55
co classes this week, so I booked that. I do want to try
18:57
and get a pilates class in at the Playground Studios that I go to in
19:02
Westboro, and then I like to also do a workout at home with form.
19:07
So I like to work out four to five times a week. So
19:11
I'm just pushing myself, to be honest, like I'm just getting back right
19:14
into it, Like I'm not like going easy. I'm just pushing myself to
19:18
get back into it because for me, booking workout classes are the best feeling
19:22
and I feel so good after getting such a great sweat in, and it
19:26
motivates me to work out again. It motivates me to book another class,
19:30
like it just feels so good working out, and I don't know, I
19:33
feel like that's my motivation, is just knowing how good I feel when I
19:36
actually push myself to do a workout. So whether you're that kind of person
19:41
that you only maybe work out twice a week or three times a week,
19:42
that's what works for you at the end of the day, don't do four
19:45
to five times a week if it doesn't work for you. Like that's what
19:48
works for me and that's what I love to do. But if only working
19:51
out two to three times a week works for you, that is totally fine
19:53
too. I think just pushing yourself to do a workout is the most important
19:57
thing because you will feel so good after just getting that good sweat in.
20:02
I'm so excited to get that Spinko class and just have a great sweat and
20:07
just sweat out all that food that I've ate this past week slash weekend.
20:11
And yeah, just getting back into Spinko class is gonna make me so happy.
20:14
I definitely had a good break for two weeks of not being in a
20:18
class, but I'm excited to get back into it and get a good sweat
20:21
in. Another thing I like to do is plan out my groceries and meal
20:26
planning and all that. I think meal planning has been a huge game changer
20:30
for Zach and I. Just knowing what we're gonna eat for dinners every single
20:33
night. It allows me to you know, have a proper grocery list,
20:37
not over by, and just know everything that we're gonna have the week is
20:41
also very reassuring. So yeah, I don't know. I always love to
20:45
get recipes off Pinterest. We have some go tos that Zach and I usually
20:48
always have, Like one of our favorites is Marrying Me Chicken. We love
20:52
to make pea pizza. We love to have usually one pass the dish a
20:56
week. So I don't know, I really really enjoy doing that. I
21:00
find it's been a huge game changer for Zach and I and I personally love
21:03
home cooked meals. So I feel like for someone that is getting home from
21:08
a trip, obviously you're kind of lazy, don't really want to make home
21:11
cooked meals. But I think resorting back to your easy recipes and you know,
21:17
getting that grocery shop done is worth it. Like it's not worth spending
21:21
money on takeout. I think that's such a waste. And let's be honest,
21:23
you obviously ate a bunch of shit when you're on the trip. So
21:26
getting back into the home cooked meal routine and just yeah, cooking home cooked
21:33
meals tastes so good when you get back from a trip. I feel like
21:36
it just hits different. So whether you want to go to the grocery store
21:40
and pick up the groceries yourself or do a grocery delivery. I have been
21:44
a victim to this in the past, where I don't want to go grocery
21:47
shopping, so I just order my groceries online and they actually deliver it to
21:49
your house. But this time I do have time, So today I'm going
21:53
grocery shoping right after Spinco I'm filming a whole travel reset get back into routine
21:57
with me for TikTok, just like my normal weekly reset, but you know,
22:03
post travel addition obviously. So yeah, just the first grocery shop back
22:07
and the first workout will feel so nice. But usually if I didn't have
22:12
the time, I would probably just deliver my groceries to the house because we
22:17
have the convenience of doing that now since COVID, which has been you know,
22:21
nice for some people who don't have the time to do grocery shopping.
22:25
And also, as I said, like coming home from vacation, sometimes you
22:26
don't have the time. Sometimes you're unpacking, you know, you're tidying up
22:30
the house. You're just trying to get your life in order. And sometimes
22:33
it's just easier to deliver your groceries. But delivering groceries is way better than
22:37
ordering takeout food. So I don't think there's anything wrong with getting your groceries
22:42
delivered to you. Okay, The next thing is unpacking. As I said,
22:47
I make this a non negotiable whenever I come home, because if I
22:49
do not unpack the first twenty four hours of being home, I will not
22:53
do it like I will literally just leave it in my room for like a
22:56
week and will not do it. That's just the reality. I don't know
23:00
if anyone else is like that. So I always unpack asap. I organize
23:04
all the clean clothes, all the dirty clothes, and then I do some
23:07
laundry. I like to put my clothes and piles, like if you look
23:11
at my upstairs right now, I have like literal piles of whites, colors,
23:15
towels, like, whatever the case may be. And I just find
23:18
it's really easy just to throw it in the laundry when I need to get
23:19
a lot of laundry done. So yeah, right now it is a pretty
23:23
chaotic mess up there. But I know once I get a bunch of loads
23:26
of laundry done, it will feel so good. And yeah, it will
23:30
feel so much more clean knowing that I have all this laundry done. But
23:33
I think it's essential to unpack a SAP because you know you will not do
23:38
it if you don't do it a SAP. So yeah, the next one
23:41
is obviously laundry cleaning all your clothes. I also love to strip my bedding
23:45
when I get home. I don't know why, I just feel like I
23:48
need clean bedding when I get back from a trip. So I usually like
23:52
to strip my bed clean it. So that's what I did yesterday and going
23:56
into a clean bed. Oh, and then like your bed, you know,
24:00
we haven't been in your bed in two weeks. It just feels so
24:02
nice to be back in your own bed and just your own house. There's
24:06
yeah, there's no better feeling. And then sometimes I like to do a
24:10
quick little tidy up of the house. Like I said, I did do
24:12
a little bit of a clean prior to leaving, but I did put you
24:17
know, my dishes away from my dishwasher because we started it before we left.
24:21
We had some dishes that we washed out on the counter that I had
24:23
to put away. I also like to do a quick vacuum of the floors.
24:27
There's just some you know, random stuff on my dining table that I
24:33
should be putting in my room all that. So just like a quick little
24:34
tidy up around the house I really like to do because it just makes the
24:37
house feel so much better when you're walking into a clean space. Also,
24:42
going into the week, having a clean space is essential. So yeah,
24:47
I usually just like to do a quick little tidy up and making sure the
24:49
house is all in sorts, because if the house is clean, my mind
24:53
is clean. It's just something with my mindset. I don't know what it
24:57
is, but I just need to have the house clean in order for my
25:00
mind to be well functioned throughout the week. Another thing I tried to do
25:04
when I come home is get back into a consistent water routine. I know
25:11
water routine sounds weird, but what I mean by water routine is that I
25:15
usually have three of my simple modern tumbler water bottles. I have three of
25:19
those a day, and obviously I didn't have it on my trip, so
25:23
I drank as much water as I could, but I do not think it
25:27
was as much as what I typically drank in a day, So kind of
25:30
getting back into that routine of being overly hydrated, just you know, keeping
25:36
my water intake up. I'm also just feeling very exhausted coming home from a
25:40
trip, and I think a lot of that has to do with dehydration.
25:42
So I'm just trying to, yeah, drink as much water as I can
25:47
and just keep up with, yeah, my water intake, and then getting
25:52
back into taking my supplements. Because I was so mad at myself because I
25:56
have all these travel supplements that I have in my and I forgot to grab
26:00
it for my trip and I was so heartbroken. So my athletic greens,
26:04
I have a travel pouch for that, my electrolytes, like forgot everything.
26:10
So I was pretty upset about that, but it is what it is.
26:12
So now I'm just trying to get back into taking my probiotic, my you
26:17
know, greens, my electrolytes, my daily vitamins, all that. So
26:22
trying to get back into that just because obviously I didn't have any of that
26:26
while I was traveling unfortunately, so slowly trying to get back into that as
26:30
well. Another thing I did yesterday which felt so nice coming home from Montreal
26:34
is I took my everything shower. Oh my god. I love a good
26:38
shower routine. It felt so nice just to come home have that shower.
26:42
I've also been really into bodycare lately and I just got this body cream.
26:48
Actually, the girl that I met at the holt Renfer she gifted me this.
26:53
I think it's called bedrou. Is that he's pronounce the name. I
26:56
think it's how that's how you pronounce it, Bedro. I'm can totally pronouncing
27:00
it wrong, but it's that expensive perfume line. They have really good body
27:03
lotions, body washes, all that very expensive. I'm not gonna lie,
27:07
but this body cream smells, oh my gosh, amazing. And because my
27:14
skin has been super dry from the whatever I had, sun poisoning, heat
27:18
rash, whatever we want to call it, and also just from the tan.
27:22
Right I'm peeling a little bit because I did burn in a few areas.
27:26
I've been applying elo Vera every morning and every night, but I've also
27:27
been applying body lotion and body cream. And I got out of my shower
27:33
and I put this body cream all over my body for the first time,
27:36
like not even smelling it, and holy crap, it was the best scented
27:41
body cream I think I've ever put in my body. I cannot think of
27:44
the name right now, but I will try and find it for you guys,
27:47
and I'll tell you guys in the next episode. However, I did
27:49
use the exact same brand at Four Seasons. They also had the be drou
27:53
body lotion, and the scent that I used at that location was Gypsy water,
28:00
which also smells amazing. Is what sounds amazing, smells amazing. I
28:06
wanted to buy it, and then I tried this one when I got home,
28:07
and I'm like, wait, this smells just as good. But yeah,
28:11
it literally smells like I put perfume all over my body. I don't
28:14
know if that's healthy or not, but I love it and I'm obsessed with
28:18
it. It is my new favorite thing ever. And yeah, I felt
28:22
really good to do right after my shower routine. I'm really starting to hear
28:26
that my voice is getting sick and I'm so upset right now, so I'm
28:29
gonna have to take something. But anyways, back to this, what are
28:34
we doing next? Next? We are this is something that I should be
28:37
doing, relaxing and just trying to stay in for the next few days.
28:41
I'm trying to say no to plans this week just because I'm really just trying
28:47
to focus on being back home, getting back from routine, just not wanting
28:52
to overly socialize just by It's not I don't want to say like I'm like
28:56
trying to turn plans down, but sometimes you have to say for your body
29:00
and for your health. And right now, because I'm feeling a little ill,
29:04
I do think it's important to rest, try and stand as much as
29:08
possible, Like not overdo it. So if you have the luxury of doing
29:12
that, it's important to rest your body and try to relax and just stay
29:18
in And this next one is going to be super important for me right now,
29:22
specifically and for anyone that does get back from a trip, is going
29:26
to bed early and just getting back into your sleep schedule. For me,
29:30
I definitely was out of walk with my sleep schedule. I was waking up
29:33
early in Mexico because of the sunrise. We went to see the sunrise every
29:37
single morning, which was one of the highlights of my trip because I love
29:41
waking up when the sun is rising. But you know, I was going
29:45
to bed pretty late, so we weren't getting much sleep specifically because we were
29:51
waking up for the sunrise. And then when we were in Montreal, you
29:53
know, again we were sleeping and going out late all that. So my
29:59
body's kind of like, Kayleie, what is your sleep schedule? Are we
30:02
going to bed early? Are we going to bed late? Are we waking
30:03
up late? Are we waking up early? Like? What's going on?
30:06
So I've been trying to make it a priority for this week to go to
30:10
bed early, just really try and rest and just really try to get back
30:12
into my sleep routine. As you guys know, I do have the hatch
30:15
alarm clock, which has been a huge game changer for my sleep schedule.
30:21
So I literally set it for when I'm going to bed, I put white
30:25
noise on and I wake up to I think it's like the ocean or something
30:29
like that, and it wakes me up every single morning at like six forty.
30:33
I think. So, yeah, I'm slowly trying to get back into
30:36
it. Yes, not gonna lie. I have hit this snooze button these
30:38
past two days and I've slept in probably twenty minutes past my alarm. But
30:44
it's not easy. That's the reality. You just kind of got to slowly
30:45
get back into it. And I think the best thing you can do is
30:48
just go to bed earlier and just really try and get back into that early
30:52
morning routine. But that's everything that I've been trying to do, just to
30:56
get back into routine and get back into the swing of thing. It's never
31:00
perfect, let's be honest, that's the reality. But I'm happy that I
31:03
am pushing myself to get back into my routine, to get back into the
31:07
swing of things, because I know how good I feel when I am in
31:10
routine, and I know these things make me feel good mentally, and yeah,
31:15
it's just I know that this is what's best for me, is what's
31:18
best for my health, and I just really try to make working out,
31:22
eating healthy, you know, doing my grocery shop, cleaning my home,
31:26
going to bed early, all that, like, all of this is really
31:30
to help my mental health, to help myself out. And yeah, I
31:33
truly just enjoy doing these things. So that's why I find it's kind of
31:37
easy for me to get in my routine because I actually look forward to it.
31:40
It was a nice break, but now I'm like, I want to
31:41
get back into a routine. I look forward to getting back into it.
31:45
So it's refreshing to get back into the swing of things. So that's what
31:49
I'm doing this week, just slowly trying to get back into things. But
31:52
I'm happy to be home. I'm happy to be back on the podcast.
