Routine

Whatcha doin'?
To ask What are you doing?, you can say Que fais‑tu ? Or if you want to be real casual, you can say Tu fais quoi ?
Tu fais quoi aujourd'hui ?
What are you doing today ?
Que fais‑tu ce matin ?
What are you doing this morning?
Je me réveille toujours tard !
Remember that little m' in phrases like Je m'appelle Charlotte? It literally means I call myself Charlotte.

Lots of French verbs add pronouns like me and te, even when we wouldn't say myself or yourself in English!
Le matin, je me réveille tôt.
In the morning, I wake up early.
Il se couche tard.
He goes to bed late.
Ils se préparent vite.
They get ready quickly.
Nous nous réveillons tard.
We get up late.
Body language
In English, we say He brushes his teeth or I wash my face, but in French you'd normally use le, la, or les instead of my or his before parts of the body.
Elle se brosse les cheveux.
She brushes her hair.
