Want a complete breakfast that you can wolf down on the go? Top toast with protein and plant-based fats for a healthy morning meal that will keep you full and clear-headed until lunchtime. Start with whole-grain bread (hint: whole wheat flour should be the first ingredient on the label) and top it with a combo like nut butter and cacao nibs, avocado and a piece of cheese or Greek yogurt and sliced fruit.
If you don't make your bed every morning, now might be the time to adopt that good habit. A study by the National Sleep Foundation shows that people who make their beds are significantly more likely to report feeling rested than those who don't do that little morning chore. Who knew?
Here's a clever way to make over your attitude and spruce up your place at the same time: Display a bunch of fresh flowers. Research shows that people feel happier, less anxious and more compassionate toward others when they see flowers first thing in the morning. Kind of makes that $5 bouquet seem like a bargain, doesn't it?
Even if you already have great skin, it can probably use a boost of radiance and hydration. Elizabeth Arden's SUPERSTART Skin-Renewal Booster, $65, is designed to boost the effectiveness of your serum or moisturizer, as well as increase your skin's natural defenses and ability to renew itself. A probiotic complex, plus botanical glasswort extract, sea fennel and flaxseed extracts work together to restore the healthy look of your skin's surface layer, making it appear supple, smoother, more resilient and radiant, while helping to reduce the look of damaged or irritated skin.
