Simone De La Rue’s AM/PM routine

…“I’m a vision of health and beauty.” My mother used to say it to me as a child.

…I light a candle to set my intention for the day, then meditate for 10 minutes on that intention or one of my favorite mantras.

…I find just 10 minutes of cardio every morning boosts my metabolism and fires off good endorphins that put me in a happy mood. My schedule is always busy, but when I’m working towards a goal, I exercise five to six times a week for one hour. For maintenance, three times a week is enough.

…is adding chia seeds to my smoothie – it gives me sustained energy, keeping me fuller for longer.

…First thing in the morning, I cleanse my face with Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentrate, apply a daily moisturizer with a minimum SPF of 30 and an anti-inflammatory under-eye cream. I also like to exfoliate or dry brush my body to get my circulation going and apply a thick body moisturizer. I do pretty much the same thing in the evening, adding a night cream.

…I use Diptyque Eau Rose Shower Foam, which is my moment of indulgence – especially after a long day in the studio.

…The candle is for meditation and setting a morning and evening intention, and the water is to make sure I’m always hydrated.

…My meals are predominantly protein-rich with a lot of vegetables – for me, the Paleo diet works best. I don’t eat many carbs, so dinner is usually turkey and greens like kale – I’m obsessed with kale.

…I write down all my dreams, goals and thoughts for my career and personal life.

…I do a 20-minute yoga cool-down sequence, which helps to relax and center me. I also use a foam roller to ease fatigued and tight muscles.
