The Loftie Clock keeps mornings techfree with a two-phase alarm system designed to gently lull you awake.

The first sound is subtle while the second prompts you to get out of bed. Another perk: the clock can also help you wind down at night with white noise, sound baths, and guided breathwork built in—no phone needed.

Start the day with a fresh cup of Nora’s Naturals Organic Coffee, which

is roasted right here in Santa Barbara. The antioxidan­t-rich blend features balanced notes of citrus and cocoa, which pair deliciousl­y with a dash of turmeric or cinnamon. The roast also has health benefits: the beans are grown in volcanic soil rich in silica, a mineral that rebuilds collagen in the body. $18, COASTALCOF­FEECOLLECT­IVE.COM

Slip into the luxurious silk Olivia von Halle Robe and you’ll have a convincing excuse to skip out on getting dressed for the day. The floral printed kimono makes the early a.m. hours as comfy as they are chic. Pair the robe with cream colored slippers to complete your look.
