LUI Ritual: Jess Pecoraro
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… Jess Pecoraro.
BUT EVERYONE CALLS ME… JP or Jess Pec.
WHEN I WAS GROWING UP I DREAMED OF BEING… a fashion designer.
BUT NOW I WORK AS… fashion stylist and consultant.
THE FIRST THING I DO WHEN I WAKE UP IS… warm water, coffee and check my emails.
THE LAST SONG I PLAYED ON SPOTIFY… 'Feels Like I’m Falling In Love' by Coldplay. I have it on repeat.
MY MORNING ROUTINE IS… mornings are very busy at our house. One to two times a week I'll head to pilates at 5am so my alarm will go off at 4.40am. I get out of bed, wash my face, get dressed, make an espresso and I’ll be in class by 5am. It sounds crazy but it’s my favourite time to work out and by 6.15am I am back to the household chaos having my second coffee. If I am not doing a 5am class then I am usually awake between 5am-6am (no sleep-ins). I'll wash my face, the girls and I will head downstairs, I'll make them breakfast while I have a coffee. We usually have Disney tunes playing while the girls play. By 7am we are getting ready for school, work and the day starts.
THE PERFUME I SPRAY ON RIGHT BEFORE I LEAVE THE HOUSE IS… Tom Ford's Ombre Leather.
MY COFFEE ORDER IS… oat cap or espresso.
THROUGHOUT MY DAY I FIND JOY IN… calling a friend for chit chats that somehow ends up in a laugh, usually my bestie EJ.
MY LUNCH ORDER IS… I love snacking, I'm not really one to stop and have lunch but when I do it’s a salad with chicken or salmon, avo toast or sushi. I'll always have something sweet after.
MY 3PM PICK-ME-UP IS… Loco Love chocolate (OBSESSED) while strolling on Insta or doing some online shopping.
AFTER A LONG DAY I SWITCH OFF BY… taking a bath, watching TV in bed or putting on a face mask.
THE LAST BOOK I COULDN’T PUT DOWN… Good Material by Dolly Alderton.
MY NIGHTTIME ROUTINE IS… if all goes to plan then Steve (my husband) usually cooks while I put Paloma to sleep. We have dinner at around 7pm, then it's bed time for Harley which means 1.5 hours of negotiation, she likes to read book after book and by the third I am a little over it and tired (bad mum). Finally, once she’s asleep, I'll shower, moisturise my body using LUI Body Moisturiser, do my beauty routine and make a tea. Steve will usually sit in the office for a while which means I'll jump online and finish some work otherwise we will both head to bed and watch some TV before going to sleep at around 10pm.
THE LAST THING I DO BEFORE BED IS… layer my face and hands with Sisley Black Rose Cream Mask.
