I get a fresh start on my day by exercising first thing in the morning, then taking a long hot shower. Of course I always use deoderant and lotion to freshen my body, as well as perfume, which I can't live without.

A new day is a fresh start! To get a fresh start on my day I would just be my self. Wear any clothes that I like and comfortable for tomorrow's school or work. Take a shower, do cleanse my face everyday and put perfume or cologne to just feel fresh and awake all day long. Style my hair whatever I like as long as it suitable for my day. Add a smile throughout my day. Last but not least, give thanks to God for given me more than I can handle, and to grant me patient and happiness everyday :)

I get a fresh start by using products in the shower that smell good to me. I think certain scents give you energy and make you happy, you just have to find the scent(s) that work for you. I like my Tea Tree Oil shampoo & conditioner.

I get a fresh start each day with my Dove body wash in the shower and then my Dove deoderant. I am 69 years old, work full time as a hospice nurse and look at least 10 years younger due to Dove.

I try every morning to have at least 15 mintutes to myself. I step outside and I take a few cleansing breaths of the morning air and do some slow stretches. This gets me focused and calms me before I have to start up my busy days.

Mornings are very important, now that I'm thinking about it! It determines how my day will go. Since I am looking for work the first thing I do is check my emails and then Facebook lol for fun. Im not usually hungry yet, but I find something to munch on because who knows when lunch will be! Next comes the Fresh part of my day- a shower! I love to sing in the shower which I think puts a pep in my step when I'm done. I also use doves' super smooth wild rose deodorant, that I luv! I got turned onto dove from my bf, which he likes bc it doesn't irritate his skin.(thus I'd super duper luv to win the deodorants and sprays!!!) But finally, quick hair, lotion, perfume if I have it, and lip gloss of course!! THen, I'm officially Fresh =)

I get a fresh start on my day by pampering myself on the outside, as well as on the INSIDE. No matter if I feel like it or not, I do a small luxury for myself on the inside to freshen the spririt. I believe if you feed your soul then you radiate from the inside out. You can look picture perfect on the inside, but if you start the morning out as a bear your negative actions & attitude will take away from your outside appearance no matter how much you put in to your routine. So, in the morning while giving yourself a quickie pedi, light a few candles, play some positive uplifting music and remind yourself Where thoughts go, Energy flows and begin the day on the right foot! Everything is about staying in balance with your environment!

I start my day by making sure I get 7-8 full hours of sleep, shower with citrus/fresh scented body washes, shampoo and conditioners to really wake me up for a great day. Don't forget to always wash, tone, moisturize my face and light make up along with a great hairstyle, great feeling clothes to start my day right at the office and following up by picking up my handsome son's after school! I am a woman on the run with two jobs, two sons both involved in cub scouts and soccer. I am a proud PTO parent so I am very involed with my children's school. Dove, YOU ROCK!!!!!

I just had a baby girl last month, so after the long nights of feeding and diapering, I NEED a fresh start every morning! :) I only have time for a quick shower these days, so I have to make sure the products I use can do the job quickly... Which is why I loooove Dove products, and would love to win some!! The body wash I use is so creamy and smooth... I can skip moisterizer when I get out of the shower, which saves me a few precious minutes of time.
After a shower, I take my baby girl out to the patio and enjoy a cup of coffee while she gets a bit of fresh air. We then go for a walk around the neighborhood... she gets to ride in her baby sling, I do all the work! :) During our walk I get to enjoy the beautiful trees and flowers in my neighborhood, get some much needed energy from the exercise, and get some quiet minutes to remember that although my days have gotten hectic and overwhelming at times, I have a HUGE blessing to be thankful for!! That will give your day a fresh start every time!!

I get at least 7 hours of sleep and always eat breakfast! Hygeine is SO important so of course I shower, anti-persperant, face cleanser, toner, moisturizer, primer and make up and end with a great hairstyle and clothing to start my day right! I have two jobs, two kids, and I love it! It is very important to me to have a fresh clean scent on my body, to be organized for my day to complete all of my tasks so I can spend the balance of my day helping my kids with their school work and just hang out with them. Have a great day!

The dawn of another is a blessing I do not take for granted. Bathing rituals are first on my agenda and nothing makes me feel more pampered than a luxurious body wash like Dove. Before dressing deodorant is essential to retain the pampered feeling and freshness all day.( I use Dove as it does not leave those nasty white marks). Makeup, hair and a nutritous breakfast and I am ready for the world!

I make sure that I get at least 8 hours of sleep during the night. I eat a healthy breakfast to jumpstart my day, then I go for a morning jog almost every morning. I come in & take my shower or just freshen up with my pomegranate Dove collection.

I get a fresh start on my day by thanking God for my life and that the morning is so beautiful. I try to meditate then I'm off to the gym. Today we lunged around the track. Showering, getting healthy meals together for my day and seeing the fruits of my labor when I slip on my skinny jeans helps to keep me on track! I realize that life is good!

First thing I wake up I start with a nice cup of mint green tea. Then I make my way to the shower which I have stocked with loads of lovely scented bath products. I love the smells of honey and jasmine in the morning, wakes me up and feels lux to lather on delicious bath products! It's a relaxing and refreshing way to start my day =)

The alarm goes off and I'm feeling drowsy..
Is it really that time again..now way..it can't be!
I roll out of bed..lumber to the shower...
rub my eyes..shake my head...no one should be up at this hour!
But before I give in to my urges..to crawl back under the sheets
I hit the button..turn the nob...and then I hear the sweet
sweet..sound of my trusty little friend...and it says..
"Don't stop..make it pop..dj blow my speakers up..
tonight..Imma fight till we see the sunlight"
I sing along..I dance around..yeah I'm ready to roll..
Nobody's gonna break my stride..I'm awake before I go..go..
Oh ipod touch..what would I do..if you ever stopped singing..
You give me a fresh start to each day..in my head..your tunes be ringing!

I wake up super early in the morning so I can get a in a good long walk followed by a refreshing shower (alone!) BEFORE my 2 year old wakes up. Then, whatever happens the rest of the day I feel pretty good knowing that I've already exercised and had a little bit of down time.

I get up and first I thank God for giving me another day to live, I like to walk, shower, apply the best deodorant ever 'Dove' and spray a little body spray on my belly button. I look forward to going out and talking to all kinds of beautiful people in the world.

Wake up, laze for about 20 minutes listening to NPR, get up, shower (Dove has been my soap forever), make coffee, do hair and makeup, get dressed, put walking shoes on, and head out the door. It takes 40 minutes to walk one and a half miles to work through some of the most beautiful neighborhoods in town. Arrive - turn on computer and pour coffee.
Let it begin.

I start my morning with a hot reaxing shower, I get help getting ready from my 5 year old daughter which is how we get to spend some time together. She helps blowdry then I curl her hair. After we get dresses she helps me pick out accessories and we grab a poptart and some OJ and out the door we go. We work as a team and it makes my day so much sweeter since she is growing up so fast! It may not seem like a big deal, but i love taking the extra time to have her "do my hair"!

Before I start my (hectic) morning & head out to NYC everyday, I make sure that I'm looking & feeling fresh - always. A fresh start, to me, must start with a long shower followed by a great outfit. I've found that Dove's Ultimate go fresh Body Mist, Energizing Grapefruit & Lemongrass Scent boosts me back to feeling confident & refreshed after I arrive at work after a long commute!

My fresh start on the day begins the night before. I love my sleep so I shower and wash my hair before I go to bed. I also choose my outfit, do any necessary ironing, and fix as much of my lunch as possible. I lay out underwear, shoes and jewelry as well, and when the alarm goes off the next morning, I know I only need to brush my teeth, apply deodorant, perfume and makeup, and I'm out the door with minimal stress!

I take a refreshing shower with Dove hair and body care. Then I send my son who is in the Army a "I love you and be safe" text, wake up my 11 year old with a good morning sunshine. This makes a the perfect start of the day!!!

I get a fresh start on my day simply with a shower! I always always shower in the morning and that alone wakes me up. I also use LUSH's "Ghost" showergel which is infused with the scent of lilies and it just smells so lovely and refreshing!

My fresh start is simple- every sunday I take a few minutes to input reminders into my phone that go off at 530am that remind me to smile because its a brand new day. I usually follow this up with an inspirational quote or anecdote about reasons why I am lucky, or fortunate. I then make a point to smile at myself in the mirror...smiling is infectious, and as silly as it sounds, seeing my reflection smile makes it easier to just keep smiling throughout the rest of the morning! I love this because I know that my smiling might affect others around me in similar way.
