Do you like to take it slow in the morning, or are you a get up and go type of person? For me, slow mornings are where it’s at. I start my days in the kitchen, where the sun shines beautifully through the windows and covers the whole room in a golden glow. I play my morning music, something happy and optimistic to start the day off right. I light a candle or two, then put the kettle on to make coffee or tea - it’s my favorite lil routine! Heating the water, brewing my bevy, checking out the new growth of my kitchen planties, singing and dancing to my favorite songs.

I’m someone who is used to sleeping in old t-shirts and sweatpants, usually full of holes and practically falling apart. Whoops! So I’ve found the pajamas I start my mornings in can be a total form of self-care. There’s something special about treating myself to a high quality, matching PJ set! Serena & Lily understands that living well begins at home, so it’s no surprise that their Positano Linen Pajamas are completely wonderful. Beautifully woven in Portugal from eco-friendly European linen, they feel like actual heaven - so light and breathable! I can’t wear anything restricting to bed or else I feel uncomfortable, so I especially love how the fit of this set is nice and relaxed.

I recently made the switch to linen bedding too - I’m totally linen obsessed! Here are some benefits of linen I’ve found v interesting -⁣

Linen is highly absorbent - it can absorb up to 20% of its weight in moisture before feeling damp! Which allows for more airflow and means it won't cling to skin⁣.
Linen is temperature-regulating – it keeps you cool in the summer and retains heat from your body in the colder months⁣.
⁣Linen gets softer with each wash⁣.
⁣It's hypoallergenic - great for anyone with skin sensitivities or allergies⁣.
⁣Linen lasts a long time - it's MUCH stronger than cotton and can last for many years if properly cared for⁣.

This linen is Oeko-Tex certified, so it’s free from harmful chemicals. Specially washed for softness! Love the mother of pearl buttons on the top.

Once my morning beverage is brewed and ready, I usually make my way over to the couch and cozy on up. I light some more candles and incense, turn up the heat, and sip. While I sip, I take out my planner and start scheduling out all of the things on my to-do list. I also like to jot down my objective for the day, one thing I’m grateful for, as well as a line from whichever song I’ve had on repeat recently. Little things that make me smile whenever I look back on past entries! I’ve found this routine of putting pen to paper and organizing my thoughts, really helps get me motivated and inspired to take on the day.

It’s hard to change out of these pajamas once it’s time to shower or get dressed - I could easily stay in them alllll day. Perhaps today will be one of those days - it’s practically the weekend, after all :)
