I wake up at 5AM even though I start work at 9AM. People think I’m crazy. But taking my time in the morning and doing the things I enjoy before heading to work helps boost my mood tremendously. It makes going to work less torturous.
Your am tidying made me smile! Yesterday I was babysitting my grandson, after breakfast and playing in the snow, I said we had to tidy. He ran and got this towel and spray cleaner! Love that boy!!! Happy day Andrea! ❄️☃️💕
Justme awww how cute! Your grandson sounds like an awesome little guy! You are so blessed to have him and visa versa! Happy Thursday To both of you!💯🥰👍🙏🏼
I just LOVE watching your videos! They literally give me this great feeling of wellbeing & relive & calmness; Literally made me get UP from bed at 8:00am! I LOVE You Dray.😍😌❤️❤️❤️
Most days I wake up at 5, my routine is similar to yours but I sit in meditation for 45 min. That's why I get up so early! Helps me stay sane... and nice to my coworkers 🥴
how to do keep yourself awake during the meditation? i would love to meditate in the morning, but most of the time, i just end up falling asleep again....
Hey Dr. Dray, I really enjoyed this type of video from you! I'm a stage 3 metastatic melanoma survivor. I've also had basal cell carcinoma on the lower left quadrant of my face when I was 19. I just finished treatment last week! I'm 26 yrs old and i'm currently going to school while working two jobs. I start nursing school in August. I just wanted to pop on here and tell you that I wished more young adults watched your videos!! I'm a cosmetologist and studying medicine, so I was able to catch my skin cancer and be proactive. I love the study of the skin, but it's just so important to wear SUNSCREEN!.... anyways, I like your style. I also loved your video regarding clean beauty products. I think that, as humans we are all SO different, to categorize an ingredient as petroleum as "harmful" and lavender oil as "healthy" is very biased. Especially in a world were natural is more like a fad. Keep up the good content! Molly
My dad has been dealing with an aggressive skin cancer on his eyelid that doctors believe to have been caused by UV. Without going into graphic detail on the multiple surgeries, trust me, it’s something worth avoiding. I’ve been wearing sunscreen daily my entire adult life, but (go figure) not on my eyelids! So everyone, heed Dr. Dray’s advice!
Omg! If I drank a liter of water, mug of coffee and a green smoothie in the morning I wouldn't get anything done cuz I'd be peeing every 5 minutes for the whole day! 😂
I love that she’s says “sunscreen and subscribe” it makes me smile, just a super sweet way to remind viewers of a simple skincare step before recommending they follow. Sweet and short❤️ new sub!
4 am?!? That’s when I go to bed at times.😂 I wish I had your discipline to get back into fitness. I’ve been keeping my skincare resolutions by moisturizing my body 2’xs a day & using sunscreen whether or not I leave the house. I didn’t know you’re supposed to use it around the eyes, now I do.😬 I also bought a satin bonnet like yours & take better care of my long hair. Yours is looking so lovely too! Thanks for the inspirational video.🙏🏻
Hi Dr. Dray, it's a struggle to get out of bed at 4am, but that idea of keeping my phone in another room sounds like a plan. I know you did a morning and night routine before but it was helpful to see another AM routine. Got me thinking about planning my own early morning routine, now that I'm back in school again after 14 years. With full time work and studies, my sleep pattern will be all over the place.
Hi Dr. Dray. I discovered your channel looking for some answers when I recently burned my skin in infrared sauna. One of your videos was very helpfull. Thank you for that. Now I am addicted to your vlogs 😁 Wishing you all the best in New Year from the Netherlands.
l just love watching your videos. l also feel better when i make my bed upon waking up in the morning. l feel mentally better when everything is in order. Neat and tidy. lol You are adorable and l have learned so much from you. Looking forward to your next video. Have a good week Dr Dray.
Thank you for letting Us in into your personal world... It is so nice to learn your funny/ chilled out side of you. Huge respect to your knowledge but now there is more to learn about you. Huge hugs... you are Lovely Lady🌷🌷💕🌷💕💕🌷
It is nice because the timer is going so i have a hard stop time on email answering..which can lead to a time suck if you are not careful with time management
Takes some people a long time to realize taking care of yourself is so important. It’s not until things start to fall apart that they truly understand this. I am amongst that group. I thought what I was doing was sufficient and it turned out it wasn’t . With anything, if you do the bare minimum, that’s exactly what you will get out of it. I now know “anything worth doing is worth doing right “ is more than just a saying 💯
Actually that tip about phone outside of the room - I would go mad probably pretty quickly but it is great it works for You :D I have 6 cats that wake me up in the morning (best clock alarm I've ever had) :D
Palm93: Dr Dray published a hair and skin care routine (AM/PM) video on Nov 5, 2019. Note that her daily skin care routine is pretty much the same as the one she published on Dec 4, 2018. You can use the RU-vid search bar to find out if a video exists already. For example, type “dr dray skin care routine” and “dr dray workout” in the RU-vid search bar. Or you can peruse the playlists she’s created that cover these topics (and others): - Skin care routines - Recipe & Lifestyle DIYs
Dr.Dray if gadgets don’t bother you... you should totally look into a water flosser! It’s been life changing and has upped my flossing game which to be honest I was never really consistent with because of how much of a hassle it was for me to use handheld floss. But the waterpik flosser gets everything out from between my teeth and makes them feel like I just came from the dentist! I half brush my teeth, then stop to floss and then go back in with my toothbrush to finish up my teeth & tongue. Promise I’m not a spokesperson just a big fan of the product haha! 😄
Sharon Peckham, Please, I am saying this respectfully. I would speak to a medical professional. The need to sleep 10 to 11 hours seems a bit excessive. Wishing you well.
Dr.Dray hope all is well. Happy New Year!! I have been gone for a while but I’m back now. Thank you for always being a great example of positivity and healthy habits❤️❤️ I will be binge watching your videos this weekend😁
Thanks for sharing this video. I have learned so much from watching your videos. I usually rinse if not wash my face in the morning and always put on the sunscreen. But I guess from watching this I don't need to wash face in morning. And same here, always have to wear little earrings everyday. Your hair is looking so healthy. And you're a beast with your exercise routine! Thankyou again. Also I think the bonnet is a cool idea to for your skin.
ugh you're so gorgeous! always shiney and spreading good vibes! btw, may i please ask you a question related to microneedling? I've watched your video about it, and loved your mention of the vitamin C thing, but could you please tell us what you would recommend to apply after the procedure instead? and can you give tips on how to care for the skin sanity and what to apply during the first week on the way to heal? i wholeheartedly hope you answer this as i only trust your judgement and opinions more than anybody else. i even tell my own dermatologist about you, she's a new graduate and she's been getting a lot of help from you! thank you, dr. dray. ❤️❤️❤️
Good morning! I sure do appreciate your videos!! Questions for you..should people with acne prone skin wash their face in the morning? If you use differin at night, is it best to rinse or wash it off in the morning before sunscreen? Have a great day!!
@Wolfgang Arr That part makes sense. I use differin adapolene at night since it can cause photosensitivity..would that need to be washed off in the morning?
@Wolfgang Arr I am not certain that it photo degrades overnight. Please check with your dermatologist, if you have one or call the 800# provided on the box or tube. I am a malpractice attorney and have heard many contradictory theories. In fact I have never seen any comments regarding the effect of adapoline and or tretinoin on the finger tips. This was brought to light along with it's use by those who wear contact lenses. This particular case was settled in binding arbitration. This is a very bad thing for consumers. If settled in this manner it is unlikely that a report will be made public. The data that is made available regarding OTC and Rx products is seriously lacking due to the many loopholes that the pharmaceutical community has at their disposal. This is currently being challenged, but I don't see it going anywhere. Side with caution, always thoroughly wash your hands after application and for safety sake wash it off in the morning. Just for the record a woman in her 30's developed what turned into deep blisters similar to 2nd and 3rd degree burns on the finger tips she used for the application of tretinoin. She received an out of court settlement from the provider. In another situation tretinoin was blamed for a contact lense wearers' corneal abrasion. Also settled out of court. These events are rarely publicized. I did ask Dr.Dray about the contact lenses, but I most likely didn't see her response due to my time constraints.
Dear Dr. Dray, since you are dedicated coffee person, I am wondering if you are familiar with "Cold brew" system. Your coffee comes out so smooth and velvety, and no acidity at all. 👍
Dr. Dray, Emmymadeinjapan here on youtube recently did a video on "Navajo Coffee." The recipe uses wheat, but as we all know you're such a big coffee drinker. Thought you'd find it interesting even if you don't actually want to make it.
My dad has always had somewhat of a "military" sleep schedule, going to bed at 9/10PM and waking up at 5/6AM. My mom is so different. With the house to run on top of her full-time job, she used to get fairly little sleep, going to bed at 3/4AM, and having to wake up at 6AM. There were times she barely saw the sheets. Now she is retired but old habits die hard. She still goes to bed 3/4AM, but at least she now sleeps until about 10AM. I loved seeing your morning routine. :)
@@danielasietkiewicz8417 Watch all her favorite shows on TV. And sometimes tennis on the other half of the world (AU, US). She does a lot for the household during the day, so she deserves her relaxation time as far as I'm concerned; doubly so! :D
Hi Dr. Dray!! You are very smart and have good skin tips!! Will apply sunscreen around me ears. I forget that. Those frozen bowls don't look too appetizing??! Try a homemade recipe to feel better. Also, nothing like sleeping under sheets. Just pull down the comforter. Take care💗💟💟💟 Love and hugs💗💟💟💟
Good for you Dr. Dray! Your dedication to your health, body, mind and spirit is so commendable! You really are such an inspiration to your viewers! As always I really enjoyed this video! Happy Thursday to you and everyone! Does your Mom have a am routine also? I’m a senior citizen and was just curious.
HAPPY THURSDAY Dr Dray and everyone , such a fun video to see your schedule . Those smoothies look great I have seen signs for daily harvest on NYC Subway it was great to see it up close . I'm looking for some new breakfast ideas . Have a wonderful day
Just wondering about your daily water consumption? I’m very bad at drinking enough water. You’re having one Liter in the morning? And more later? One thing I love and would never change is showering at night. This helps a lot for preparing in the morning.
When is a good time period to switch from adapalene to tretinoin? I’ve been using adapalene for three months but I want to use something more effective with more anti aging effects. Love u Dr Dray!!! 💕🌸✨
It probably depends on your specific skin type/ issues. I have combo, sensitive skin and my derm recommended adapalene for a year, as long as it's beneficial and no problems, then I can switch to tretinoin.
I would watch a video of you talking about your favorite dental hygiene products. I know you’re not a dentist but I’m still interested to know your thoughts!
I get up at 2:30 am for work. I start at 5 am. Sleeping in for me is waking up at 6:30 or 7 am. I also always make my bed. But I get ready by nightlight. Breakfast is at work. Always always have time for coffee.
@@stkargronskog9882 OCD is not a bad thing but it's a bit more than preference/dislikes, I think. I had a friend who had ocd that compelled her to count and it was very disruptive to her daily life.
It might be a veganism thing,my husband is vegan ever since he became vegan like two years ago that guy even on his day off still wakes up at 5am 🤦♀️ and does his whole routine similar to hers except no sunscreen
kind of interesting....i was wondering how you do your day and woke up to this segment... i'm up at 5:15 and today i didn't want to leave...but...i got all my 'chores' in. I know i ought to put my phone outside my room...and get up earlier to fit in an early workout. thanks for sharing.
Jewelry 😍. Who else is waiting for an Q&A.. would love if you do one soon. And also what is your opinion on dr Barbara Sturm' sundrops do you think they are enough as a sunscreen ?
I absolutely love the drmtlgy sunscreen! I have both the broad spectrum 45 and tinted moisturizer spf 40. My skin absolutely loves it and looks so healthy.
I have 5 alarms set to wake me at 430 in the morning but i swear I sleep through them all and so.. still oversleep. I dont know what to do...6 alarms? You are the neatest woman..i hope your inspiration will help me do better.
