00:00 Hey, I'm Lilly Singh with Women's Health,

00:01 and I'm ready to break down my seven-day game plan.

00:04 These are the things I do Monday to Sunday

00:07 to be my most productive, efficient, happy self.

00:11 It's Monday.

00:12 I'm gonna wake up on time so I can do my complete

00:14 one and a half hour morning routine.

00:16 I get out of bed, I stretch, I meditate for 20 minutes,

00:19 I drink tea, I go on a walk, I spend time with my dog,

00:23 I shower, I do my complete face routine.

00:26 We're talking my toner, my under-eye cream,

00:29 my balancing serums, my hydrating cream,

00:32 my SPF, always SPF.

00:37 At one o'clock, I'm gonna break my fast

00:39 because I intermittent fast, and I'm going to eat.

00:42 So I start eating at 1 p.m. and I stop eating at 9 p.m.,

00:45 which is good because it forces me to have a lunch,

00:47 and so it really helps me have that pause in the day.

00:49 For lunch, I'm probably gonna eat chicken

00:51 with a side of roasted carrots,

00:53 or fish made in my air fryer because it makes me feel

00:56 like I know how to cook.

00:57 Eight minutes in the air fryer, chef's kiss.

01:00 Fish with a side of broccoli because it's Monday,

01:04 and I'm feeling like I'm so healthy,

01:06 and I'm gonna do this week right

01:08 because I haven't unraveled yet and gone downhill.

01:11 I then go into my office and I jump into my inbox

01:15 because now I'm in work mode.

01:17 The first thing I'll do is go through my 100 million

01:20 emails that I have, hoping that most of them are spam

01:22 so I can delete them and feel like I did some work.

01:26 I then jump into meetings that could be about productions,

01:29 about my fund, maybe they're a press.

01:32 Because I spend so much time at my desk,

01:33 if it's a call or meeting that I can do on the phone,

01:35 I'm walking outside.

01:37 I'm gonna keep working until about 6, 7 p.m.

01:42 because on Mondays, I get a massage.

01:44 At 9 p.m., I get a 90-minute massage

01:47 by a lovely masseuse that comes to my house

01:49 because I am so, so lucky and I recognize that.

01:53 I get a one and a half hour massage.

01:55 After that, I'll watch a little something on TV,

01:57 read a little book, and I go to bed.

01:59 It's Tuesday, I'm waking up, still determined

02:01 because of the top of the week,

02:02 but I'm slightly like, does anything really matter?

02:05 I go through emails, this happens every day.

02:07 I cannot escape my inbox on any day.

02:09 Every day I wake up, there will be hundreds

02:11 and hundreds of emails.

02:12 I've come to terms.

02:13 The good thing about Tuesday is that I work

02:15 throughout the day and I end work a little earlier

02:17 because on Tuesdays, there's a big chance

02:20 that I'm gonna take advantage of $5 theater tickets

02:24 and go to the movies, baby.

02:26 Tuesdays are my favorite because I love going

02:29 to see movies in the theater.

02:31 So I'm going to check Showtimes.

02:33 I'm going to go to the movie theater.

02:35 I'm going to order a big old bucket of popcorn.

02:38 I'm gonna share it with no one

02:41 and I'm gonna have the time of my life.

02:42 Sometimes I have a little more self-control

02:44 and I'm like, fine, you know what?

02:45 I'll be a fitness influencer.

02:46 I won't do butter.

02:47 I'll just take the tub of popcorn.

02:48 But if I do butter, it's a layered butter.

02:50 Crucial, bunch of crunch in the popcorn.

02:54 If they don't have bunch of crunch

02:55 'cause they sell it very often, M&Ms.

02:56 Not the peanut ones, don't be wild.

02:58 Just the normal milk chocolate M&Ms.

03:00 The chocolate and popcorn combined, crucial.

03:03 I'm also, one of my favorite drinks is Coke Zero.

03:06 However, when I go to the movies, it's quite late

03:08 and so I will have a Coke Zero that is caffeine free.

03:13 If you're asking the question why Coke Zero over Diet Coke,

03:15 it's because I don't hate myself.

03:17 It's because Coke Zero is superior to Diet Coke

03:20 and I will die on this.

03:21 Coke Zero tastes so much better than Diet Coke.

03:24 That is just a fact.

03:25 That's not even my opinion.

03:26 That is fact.

03:27 It's Wednesday.

03:28 I wake up, do my morning routine, do my face routine,

03:30 never miss it.

03:31 What do I do again?

03:32 S-P-F, baby.

03:34 My face routine is sacred to me.

03:36 I use a combination of products from my dermatologist

03:39 mixed with Avrani products, which is this brand

03:41 I really, really love.

03:41 It's an Ayurvedic brand.

03:43 I will do a oil cleanser first

03:45 because oils are not bad for you.

03:46 I know we've been taught to think from a kid

03:48 that oils are great for your skin.

03:49 Then I use a cleanser from my dermatologist.

03:51 Then I put a balancing serum on a cotton pad.

03:55 I do a little bit of this, a little bit of this.

03:56 A little bit of eye rejuvenating cream,

03:58 Avrani eye rejuvenating cream right there, right there.

04:00 If I am breaking out, I'll use a dab,

04:02 just a dab of Witch Hazel.

04:04 I did some right there last night

04:05 'cause I had a little pimple on my eyebrows.

04:06 Now, I don't know if you can see it.

04:07 Can you?

04:08 Don't check.

04:09 After that, I'm going to use a little bit of retinol.

04:11 I know what you're thinking.

04:12 Retinol in the morning?

04:13 That sounds lunatic.

04:14 My dermatologist said it's okay

04:15 as long as you cover it with SPF.

04:18 I'm a big believer of SPF

04:19 because for a long time in my life,

04:21 I was convinced I couldn't use it

04:22 because it never looked good on my skin.

04:24 Having skin with melanin growing up,

04:26 I would always look purple or white or look gray

04:29 if I used SPF.

04:30 And now I have finally found one that is called Ultra MD.

04:33 That is great.

04:34 And I live and swear by it

04:36 because it protects my skin so much.

04:37 But today, I gotta travel for a meeting.

04:40 So, I packed my suitcase in my little carry-on

04:43 with my little backpack on top.

04:44 It's just a one-day trip to San Francisco for a meeting

04:46 because she's booked and busy.

04:49 I head to the airport and I board my flight.

04:52 I have my blanket because I'm always cold

04:54 and I have my pillow and I take a little nap on the flight.

04:57 I land, do my meeting.

04:58 I am always prepared for the meeting.

05:00 I do my talking points, do my meeting,

05:02 secure the bag, boom, boom, boom,

05:03 sign the contract, do the deals, kiss the babies.

05:05 I get back on the plane.

05:07 I get back home.

05:08 I unwind by watching a movie.

05:10 What do I watch?

05:11 What I always watch.

05:12 A really bad horror movie.

05:14 I don't want a story.

05:15 I don't want good acting.

05:16 I don't want good scares.

05:17 I want a trash horror movie.

05:19 That is what I love to watch.

05:20 It's Thursday.

05:21 I wake up, stretch, face routine, shower, meditate,

05:24 all the things I said before lots and lots of times.

05:26 And then, I am going to do something different.

05:30 I'm going to put eye patches

05:32 that I keep in the mini fridge in my room

05:34 so they're nice and cold and I'm gonna put them

05:36 under my eyes because today, I'm going to shoot some stuff

05:38 for my socials and for my book club

05:41 and for my fun and for a gang of different things.

05:43 I'm walking into my room, destroying my closet

05:45 because I'm picking out 10, 15 different shirts,

05:47 putting them on a rolling rack

05:49 because I'm gonna bank a bunch of content

05:51 and make it seem like I shot it on different days.

05:54 I'm shooting book reviews.

05:55 I'm shooting information about my fun.

05:57 I'm shooting funny social videos.

05:59 And then, when I'm done, I'm taking it all to my computer,

06:03 sending it to my editor, I'm editing some of it myself.

06:06 Today is a day for creation.

06:08 After I'm finished this, yeah, I actually touch base

06:10 with a lot of my team members.

06:11 So I'm having a call with my lawyers to talk about,

06:14 is someone suing me?

06:15 Am I suing someone?

06:16 Is this contract good?

06:17 Should I sign this contract?

06:19 What are the laws?

06:20 All those things are discussed.

06:22 After that, I'm having a touch base with my manager

06:24 where I say, hey, I just had a call with my lawyers

06:27 and I'm not sure if I'm getting sued

06:28 or if I'm suing someone.

06:29 Could you call them and double check that I know the laws?

06:31 And then we touch base on all of my goals.

06:33 I'm also then having a download with my fabulous assistant,

06:36 who I love, who's over there.

06:37 And I'm asking, what are my priorities for the day?

06:40 What do I need to make sure I accomplish

06:41 by the end of the week?

06:42 What do we have coming up?

06:42 What's pressing?

06:43 What can we collaborate on?

06:44 What can I punt until next week?

06:46 All the touch bases with the teams are happening.

06:48 On Thursday, I'm usually feeling like I did pretty good

06:51 the beginning of the week

06:52 and now I can loosen up a little bit.

06:53 So maybe I'm gonna have some chicken wings,

06:55 maybe I'm gonna have some carbs,

06:56 maybe I'm gonna have some mashed potatoes.

06:57 I care a little less today.

06:59 It's Friday.

07:00 I'm gonna sleep in a little bit today.

07:02 I'm gonna roll around in bed a little bit.

07:04 I'm gonna do unhealthy things like check my Instagram

07:06 before getting out of bed.

07:07 Maybe I'm not gonna meditate today

07:09 and I'm gonna get out of bed

07:10 when I feel like getting out of bed.

07:12 I am going to break my fast today.

07:14 It's not 1 p.m. but you know what?

07:16 I'm gonna order McDonald's 'cause I'm wild

07:18 and it's Friday and I'm a doll

07:19 and I can do what I wanna do today.

07:21 I'm ordering my go-to for McDonald's,

07:23 which is a Filet-O-Fish combo with fries,

07:26 with sweet and sour sauce.

07:28 Then I'm gonna convince myself

07:29 that maybe that won't be enough

07:30 and I'm gonna order a Kids Meal Nuggets.

07:31 And then I'm gonna convince myself

07:32 that maybe I should just get a McFlurry on top of that

07:34 and it's gonna be a mini M&M's McFlurry

07:36 'cause it's Friday and I can do whatever I want.

07:38 It's Saturday and I'm super excited

07:40 because today is an Angel City FC game.

07:42 I'm part owner of LA's women's soccer team

07:45 and I love game day.

07:46 So I wake up, I pick out my outfit, I prep,

07:50 I take a shower, I do my makeup,

07:52 which I don't do every day.

07:54 But I do it today because I gotta show up for the girls.

07:57 I put on my jersey, I put on my owner's badge.

07:59 I get there two hours early because I'm so type A

08:02 and the traffic is so bad

08:04 and I get ready to host a bunch of friends in my suite.

08:07 I order buffalo wings, nachos, popcorn.

08:11 I drink, today I'm gonna have a,

08:12 today I'm gonna enjoy an alcoholic beverage today.

08:14 I'm gonna sit field side, I'm gonna cheer.

08:17 I am cheering and my team is going to win, hopefully.

08:22 That's what's gonna happen.

08:23 Today is Sunday, my favorite day.

08:25 Sunday means that I am going to take care of myself today.

08:28 I wake up whenever I want.

08:30 I oil my hair and massage my scalp.

08:32 I leave that oil in my hair for about an hour or two hours.

08:35 I wash my hair with a deep conditioner.

08:38 I wash my hair however many times I need to in a week.

08:43 A minimum of one.

08:45 I don't like to overwash it.

08:46 It's not great to overwash hair.

08:48 But if I get my hair styled

08:49 or if I'm going somewhere and there's product in it,

08:50 I'll wash it more than once.

08:51 I do a face mask before I sleep.

08:53 I sit outside with nature.

08:56 I do everything self care on Sunday.

08:58 It's my favorite day.

09:00 At the end of the day, wellness is about finding

09:02 the combination of things and activities

09:03 that are right for you.

09:04 I think for so long in my life,

09:06 I convinced myself my routine had to look

09:08 like everyone else's.

09:09 But that wasn't right for me.

09:09 I love working the way I do

09:11 and I love taking care of myself the way I do.

09:13 And that combination's right for me.

09:15 Thanks so much for checking out my seven day game plan

09:17 with women's health.

09:18 And I hope that you have a routine

09:19 that really fulfills and satisfies you as well.
