The day of the pageant, Miss Alaska, Alyssa London, has a morning routine that consists of sipping on nutritious tea and doing a little meditation.
"I like to make my own matcha green tea in the morning to help me feel awake and to give me extra energy," she said. "I buy the green tea powder and then mix it with hot water and drink it that way. It has a more long-lasting energy than coffee or soda, and it's good for you, too. I really believe in holistic wellness, so I also meditate in the morning with the Calm app. I think it helps me to stay calm and focused."
Fun fact: matcha green tea contains a potent antioxidant called polyphenol, which is not only an antiaging ingredient, but which can also help the skin look brighter.
