Knowledge Tech Morning Person” But Here’s Why She Wakes Up at 5 AM Every Day |
How do you spend the first five minutes of your day? There’s no better time than the morning to ground yourself and prepare your body and mind to set the tone for the day ahead. And since we only have about 25,000 mornings in our adult life, it’s time we made them count. In our Wake Up Call series, we take a look inside the morning routines of people we admire to inspire our own AM rituals and start the day on the right note. Up next, model, mother, entrepreneur, founder, and CEO of Kora Organics, Miranda Kerr’s morning routine.
Miranda Kerr - Malibu Home
Okay, yes, there’s no denying her natural beauty—after all, she built a career on her looks—but aesthetics aside, it’s actually Miranda Kerr’s lit-from-within glow that attracts people to her—myself included. From the few times I’ve been lucky enough to interview Kerr throughout my media career, I can vouch for her magnetic energy. In fact, I’m convinced she exists at a higher vibration. People gravitate towards her light and she happily shares it with the world which is how she came to create her own skincare line, KORA.
The clean crusader launched her brand back in 2009 (way before clean beauty was even a buzzword) to raise awareness, educate, and democratize certified organic skincare. But it’s not just about being clean and certified organic, it’s also about creating efficacious products that deliver results (and she has the case studies and consumer reviews to prove it). It’s safe to say she’s done just that. Today, KORA is sold in 25 countries and available at Sephora stores nationwide—but Kerr is just getting started.
So, we had to know, how does the founder and CEO of a global beauty brand start her day? Read on to learn about Miranda Kerr’s morning routine and why her wake-up call is at 5 am every day.
On her wake-up call…
Between 5 and 5:30 am on weekdays and 6 am on the weekends. I average about seven hours of sleep a night, although I wish for eight hours.
On her morning routine…
The last couple of weeks I’ve switched up my routine and now start my day with a Tracy Anderson workout six days a week. If I’m lucky, I get to have a shower and do my morning skincare routine also, (depending on when the kids wake up). I’ve found this is a great way to start my day and get the endorphins flowing.
To be honest, I’m not naturally a morning person but I’ve had to learn to embrace it with three kids.
When the kids wake up generally around 7 am, I get them dressed and we all eat breakfast together. Once the kids are settled, I start work for the day. I love working from home as I get to be around for my children, but I try to make sure I wrap things up by 5 pm so I can be fully present to do their winddown routine: bath, dinner, and reading together.

On what she always has on her nightstand…
Water, Noni Glow Sleeping Mask, and a rose quartz crystal.
On what she eats for breakfast…
I love smoothies. Right now my favorite is the Medical Medium Heavy Metal Detox smoothie and I add my Noni Glow Skinfold Supplement to it.
On her pre-work routine…
Currently, I love starting my day with the Tracy Anderson workout. When I’m done, if I have time, I dry-body brush and get into the shower. After that, I do my morning skincare routine. Then I drink my 32 ounces of celery juice. If I have time I meditate before the kids wake up.
On her morning beauty routine from start to finish…
Right now, my morning routine consists of using our Milky Mushroom Gentle Cleansing Oil, followed by the Turmeric Brightening & Exfoliating 2-in-1 Mask, then the Noni Bright Vitamin C Serum which contains Kakadu Plum (the highest source of naturally occurring vitamin C)—this product has been a lifesaver for brightening my pigmentation! Then I use our new Turmeric Glow Moisturizer all over my face, neck, and décolletage—it really keeps my skin glowing all day. I then apply the Noni Radiant Eye Oil and Noni Glow Face Oil as needed for a little boost of nourishment—it’s great for all skin types, especially sensitive skin, and even oily skin. Sometimes when I feel a bit puffy, I will give myself a guar sha massage with my Rose Quartz Heart Facial Sculptor. It helps stimulate circulation, reduce puffiness and naturally lift and sculpt my face. I also dry-body brush right before I shower.
