Danielle Jonas told me that by 9 a.m. each day, she's "already tired." And I get it. The mom of two and wife of Jonas Brother, Kevin, has a lot going on.
Fortunately, Danielle found time to exclusively chat with PureWow about busy mornings (which happen to feature a little Golden Girls), her makeup and skincare routine, her new partnership with Orgain (her daughter calls the protein shakes 'monkey milk') and so much more.
Here's what she had to say.
She told me, "I am not a morning person. I stay up really late, because I get so much more done at night. But the girls get me up." At 6:30 a.m., she added.
"I normally have the TV on for background noise, and The Golden Girls are on." (Honestly, same.) "I get the girls dressed, and I do the lunches and all that. And then we have breakfast.
"I have very picky eaters. So, just picking up something like Orgain, knowing that they had protein, fiber and all the minerals and everything, I felt more confident that they were getting what they needed for the day.
"My little one, she was my tougher one with eating. So, we called it 'monkey milk' because it had like a little monkey on it, so it just made it fun. Their favorite is chocolate, which is mine too."
Once the kids are out the door and off to school (no easy feat), Danielle turns to a Pilates workout before getting ready for the day. Her skincare and makeup routine? Surprisingly simple.
"I love doing my skincare before my makeup 'cause it softens your face and everything. So I always do vitamin C and then a lotion. I keep my makeup very light during the school days. Just a little tinted moisturizer and a little blush, and then sometimes eyeliner, sometimes not.
"I always do lashes, so that cuts down the time of my getting ready. So that's worked for me. I actually rather get my lashes done than my nails done because I feel like life just goes faster with lashes."
She laughed and confessed, "My oldest keeps her nails fresher than mine. It's ridiculous."
Adding to the hectic mornings is an additional health challenge for Danielle. She told me, "I have Lyme disease, so it's tough. I don't know how I'm going to feel some days. But I get through those. Sometimes I'll lay down again for 15–20 minutes...and then I keep going." And keep going she does.
