LUI Ritual: Indigo King
Here at LUI, we love the idea of rituals: those little everyday practices that help you feel calm, centred and whole. We believe shaving deserves to be part of this self-care routine. In celebration of mindful moments, the LUI Ritual series asks friends of the brand about their own positive habits and how they elevate their day.
HI, MY NAME IS… Indigo King.
BUT EVERYONE CALLS ME… Indi or Inds.
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP I DREAMED OF BEING… an interior designer. I would change my bedroom around most weeks and was always trying to find the best layout and vibe, which was often Typo decor at the time…
BUT NOW I WORK AS… a musician and retail assistant.
THE FIRST THING I DO WHEN I WAKE UP IS… make my bed, wash my face and pop the kettle on.
THE LAST SONG I PLAYED ON SPOTIFY… 'Something' by Nick Hakim.
MY MORNING ROUTINE IS… get up and go! I make my bed, get into the shower and hope I have enough time to make some tea!
THE PERFUME I SPRAY ON RIGHT BEFORE I LEAVE THE HOUSE IS… By The Fireplace by Maison Margiela.
MY COFFEE ORDER IS… caffeine makes me BANANAS so I stick to peppermint tea or a soy chai latte.
THROUGHOUT MY DAY I FIND JOY IN… coming home to my best friends, listening to the last three songs in my liked songs rotation, and FaceTiming my dad.
MY LUNCH ORDER IS… a tuna melt or some sort of delicious toasted sandwich. I love a Tammy’s Borek from Preston Market, too.
MY 3PM PICK-ME-UP IS… a sweet treat or savoury snack attack!
AFTER A LONG DAY I SWITCH OFF BY… debriefing about the day with my wonderful housemates and writing/recording new demos from the comfort of my bed.
THE LAST BOOK I COULDN’T PUT DOWN… Chelsea Girls by Eileen Myers.
MY NIGHTTIME ROUTINE IS… I love to potter around my room and get everything ready for the next day, making sure all my bits and bobs are in their spot! Ideally I like to read before bed or watch a Yoga With Adriene video, but I often indulge in some scrolling time. I am just a girl.
THE LAST THING I DO BEFORE BED IS… have a long hot shower, full body moisturise and get into a comfy, cosy outfit ready to sleep.
