Summary

Here's some twinkly goodness in the shape of my Top 10 Feel Good Habits interviews. In this episode, Lorna Luxe.

This episode was originally published in July 2021.

In this episode, @lornaluxe and I discuss:

•The joy of staying in bed and why the narrative of getting up early somehow equals success isn't true.

•Why switching off devices, as advised by Marie Reynolds, has been a quick way to maximise sleep in the Luxe household.

•The Tony Robbins technique that helps Lorna prime every day to be a good day and why it receives her glowing recommendations of 'I'll tell you what, it's belting!'

•How food is something she uses to make herself feel-good after depriving herself a lot in her 20s she feels now, in her 30s, that she's found a balance.

•The IGTV Callie Thorpe posted that has transformed the way she preps her food every week.

•Why skincare and haircare are quick and easy ways to invest some time and care in yourself and why beauty as self-care can be a five-minute job and doesn't mean 'full-on masks, massages and all that jazz

•Plus we also go off on a major hair loss tangent as we both started seeing trichologists at Philip Kingsley at about the same time in 2020 and have seen impressive results.

•Plus, I also quiz her about airplane hygiene and what she does and doesn't recommend you do on planes as a former cabin crew.

During this conversation, we also mentioned: the I Am Not Your Guru documentary on Netflix Dusk bed linen and Mela Silk bed linen.

0:00.0	Lorna Lox is back and I'm so excited. How are you?
0:10.0	Yeah, I'm going to. It's sunny outside, so I'm in a really good mood.
0:14.0	It's really sunny and it's actually one of those days where you're like, I don't know how to dress because I'm just going to sweat through everything.
0:20.0	Do you have that problem? Oh, my God, do I have that problem? I'm always sweating. And I think as well,
0:26.5	because I'm a fake tanner, it's even worse because then I'm like patchy, hot and bothered.
0:32.8	And of course, John bears the brunt of that. John's my husband, for anyone listening. I will mention him, I'm sure, again. But yeah, he puts up with my winging about the heat. I thought it was a northern thing, but you're not northern. So maybe it's just a thing. I can't. I really struggle in the heat, and we haven't got back to that. Do you remember back in, I don't know, was at the end of May,
0:54.9	we had those really scorching days or beginning of June.
0:58.7	And I was just miserable for three days.
1:00.7	And yeah, I just go to the cool,
1:02.8	I basically go to the bathroom and just sit against the tiles.
1:07.1	Oh, no, or stick your head in the fridge.
1:09.7	Basically, and no issues with that whatsoever.
1:13.0	Anyway, you are here this time because it's your return to the podcast to share your feel good habits.
1:18.6	So these are the five tips, strategies, techniques you use to stop a bad day turning into a bad week, a bad mood turning into something a little bit darker. And I'm
1:28.6	excited to find out where we're going to begin. Yay. Oh my God, do I have to start? Go on.
1:34.9	Oh, you could. Okay. So I think I'm going to start with something that people are probably not going
1:40.9	going to all agree with. But ever since I was a kid, people have always told me that if you're, if you get up early, you wake up and you seize the day, that you'll
1:50.1	feel more productive. But actually, if I'm feeling a bit of in a funk or just generally not
1:56.2	really like feeling it, sleep and staying in bed is the best cure for me. So I lean into it and I go back to
2:04.0	bed and I just sleep and John leaves me to it. He doesn't bother me. And I just stay in bed.
2:10.7	I might watch a bit of telly. I might not. I might unplug my phone. But yeah, I don't, I'm not an
2:16.1	early bird per se. Early bird for me is like a
