A Day in the Life with Alex James Ali

A Day in the Life with Alex James Ali

This month, we’re stepping behind the chair with friend of YLW and incredible hairstylist, Alex (@alexjamesali). From early starts in the salon to finding time to reset, Alex shares the small habits and rituals that keep him feeling well - plus how he weaves YLW into his busy routine. Keep reading for a dose of inspiration and a glimpse into a day in his life... 6:00am - Rise and Reset Alex starts his mornings with movement, easing into the day with a stretch routine to support his back. Alongside a pint of water and a strong black coffee, it’s his way of waking up both body and mind. 7:00am - Family First Breakfast is all about time with his little one - pancakes are a regular favourite. While his son eats, Alex takes a moment for himself: a refreshing shower, skincare with the YLW Day Cream, and a quick brush-up before the school run. 8:45am - School Run Alex heads out the door to drop his son at school, ready to shift gears into work mode. 9:00am - Train Time  The commute offers a pocket of calm before a busy day in the salon. 9:45am - Salon Ready Once in the salon, it’s all about getting set for a full day on his feet. A quick refresh with the YLW Day Cream keeps skin hydrated, and the Day Pill gives him the inner support he needs to stay energised and focused. 7:30pm - Gym Reset After work, Alex carves out time for himself at the gym. A mix of weights, light cardio, and occasionally the spa helps him unwind and reset, both physically and mentally. 9:30pm - Evening Wind Down Back home, Alex opts for a light meal if he needs it, then leans into his evening routine: applying the YLW Night Cream to nourish skin overnight and taking the Night Pill to support deep rest and recovery. 10:30pm - Lights Out By half ten, it’s time to switch off. A full day done, Alex prioritises sleep so he’s ready to do it all again tomorrow. Alex’s routine is a reminder that wellbeing doesn’t have to mean big changes - it’s the small, consistent habits, woven into everyday life, that make the real difference.

Bake in the oven for 30 mins - While the chicken is in the oven, turn your attention to the best bit! In a pan, heat your sesame oil and fry the garlic and chilli until slightly softened (approx. 1 min) - Add in the miso sachet and chicken stock, followed by all the veg. Pop in the soy sauce, fish sauce and coriander, and leave to get tasty in the pot while the chicken cooks. - Remove your chicken from the oven once cooked and set aside to cool for a minute.  - Put the rice in the microwave for 2 minutes and, while it's in there, slice your chicken breasts into even horizontal strips. - Once the rice is hot, split between the bowls, ladle over the broth and then put your chicken on top. - Sprinkle some more coriander on top and voila! So, how does this help your body? Boosts your immune system - the mix of garlic, ginger and chilli not only adds flavour, but also contains natural compounds that help your body fight off colds and reduce inflammation. Good for your gut - miso is a fermented food that is rich in probiotics, supporting a balanced gut microbiome. Paired with fresh lime and coriander, it's also rich in antioxidants that promote healthy digestion too. Packed with lean protein & vitamins - chicken breasts are a great source of lean protein to keep you feeling fuller for longer, while the range of vegetables add lots of nutrients (e.g. Vitamin C and beta-carotene from carrots, and iron from spinach) for all-round wellbeing.
