I Woke Up Like This: Laura Byrne's sweet family morning ritual

In our 'I Woke Up Like This' series, 9Honey removes the filters from everyday life and bares all for a much-needed reality check.

We will be speaking to a range of people — from faces you know to faces you will want to know — to tear away the façade of make-up and social media and bring things back to basics with realistic 'I woke up like this' selfies and morning routines.

Today, we're 'waking up' with Laura Byrne. Best known for her stint on The Bachelor where she met partner "Matty J" Johnson, Laura has launched her own jewellery business and a podcast, Life Uncut, with fellow Bachelor alum Brittany Hockley, and is a member of the Swisse Beauty Squad.

What time do you wake up?

"I wake up around 7am. I have a human alarm clock so whenever Marlie wakes up is when the whole household is up."

How many alarms do you set?

"Most days none, but if I do have to set an alarm, I'm a one-alarm kind of daredevil."

Tea or coffee?

"All of the coffee."

TV or radio, podcast or silence?

"Sweet, sweet, sweet sil.... oh wait, I have a one-year-old. There's no time for any of this."

What do you eat for breakfast?

"I'm such a sucker for a croissant."

How long does it take you to get out the door?

"I am super speedy getting ready in the morning. Once I have Marlie dressed and ready to go it only takes me a half hour to shower, put on makeup and clothes and leave the house."

Any unusual morning rituals or habits?

"Every morning I'm super diligent with my skincare routine. After a wonderful youth spent in the sun and the ocean, I now have pigmentation and sensitive skin, which I have to be mindful of to keep it under control.

"I love the Swisse Blood Orange Brightening Facial Serum and then always slather on a good dollop of sunscreen before I leave the house."

What's the one thing you never have time for in the morning?

"Drying my hair. I always leave the house with wet hair pulled back in a bun."

What's the one thing you always do?

"Every morning we go for a little family walk, Matt, Marlie and me. It is such a nice way to spend some quality time as a family while also squeezing in a cheeky bit of exercise."
