We’ve all seen them. Those mythical creatures who bound out of bed at the crack of dawn, chirping about sunshine and possibilities. They’re the ones who actually use their gym memberships before work and have time to make Instagram-worthy smoothie bowls. These, my friends, are morning people.
The Pre-Dawn Pact (and Why It Was a Bad Idea)
Now, I am not a morning person. My spirit animal is a sleepy sloth, and my ideal wake-up time involves the sun already being high in the sky. Yet, inspired by the supposed productivity and pep in their step, I decided to give this whole “morning person” thing a try. I even roped my best friend, Sarah, into it. Big mistake.
Except, we’d forgotten to buy mangoes. And chia seeds. And basically everything else that makes a smoothie bowl worthy of social media. We ended up eating plain yogurt with a handful of sad-looking blueberries.
