This is one of many Mornings In ________ posts in which local ladies tell us about their morning beauty and breakfast routines. And then we all wonder if our mornings would be better if we, too, ate rice congee for breakfast.

Hometown: York, England
Age: 24
Occupation: Account Handler for Wholesale Tour Operator
My alarm is set for:
6:55! I normally hit snooze ’til at least 7:15, but either way it’s far too early for me!
Most mornings I eat:
On a weekday it’s normally just a bowl of cereal with milk, but it’s on the weekends that we like to get a bit more creative. I have a very sweet tooth and love making chocolate filled pancakes or French toast rolls-ups smothered in strawberry jams.Of course, there’s no escaping the traditional Full English breakfast either; the sausages, bacon, eggs, baked beans and toast are essential, but everyone knows it’s better with mushrooms, tomatoes and hash browns thrown on there too. There’s no better cure for a hangover than a Full English breakfast!

My beauty routine consists of:
I love the skincare products the have in The Body Shop; I personally can’t get enough of the Tea Tree range and use the cleanser, toner and moisturizer everyday. When it comes to make-up I seem to be using everything Maybelline at the moment and particularly love their Dream Matte Mousse Foundation.
Most of the beauty products in the UK are international brands, but it might surprise some people to know that quite a few of the companies originated in the UK, including The Body Shop, Boots, Lush, Rimmel and Soap & Glory.
Then, I head to work by:
Bus. It’s just a five minute walk to the bus stop and a fifteen minute journey into town, then the bus drops me off right outside the office door! It’s a simple journey most of the time; the only problem is when the bus doesn’t show up!

I know we have heaps of British readers – what’s your morning breakfast + beauty routine? P.S. My three item makeup bag (yes, really) and A clear skin ‘cocktail’
