It’s amazing how a few extra minutes of sleep can be a blessing in the morning, especially when you had less than 7 hours of sleep. I used to hit the Snooze button and hope that my alarm would never ring again. But it always did…
I developed a small routine that allows me to sleep a little longer and get ready in no time! Here are 3 tips that can help you get ready faster:
Tip1:
The night before, get everything you need ready as if you were going to leave the house the next minute. For example, I would pack my laptop bag/handbag and place them on a table next to the door, so all I have to do the next morning is pick them up and leave.
Tip2:
The night before, get your clothes ready for the next day. You really don’t want to look at your closet when you are half asleep, thinking that green is a new shade of blue, and wondering where the new puppy hid your shoe. Put your clothes, underwear, shoes, and any kind of accessories on the side the night before and I guarantee you’ll save at least 10-15 minutes each morning.
Tip3:
One word: Mineral Make-Up. I have been putting make up for the last 12 years and nothing I have tried so far is more efficient than mineral make-up. It is fast, easy to apply, not messy, and gives you that ‘fresh’ look: “I am naturally beautiful.”
Following the 3 rules above, I can get ready in 30 minutes every morning!
7:00 am – Wake up and jump in the shower (I wash my hair the night before so it’s dry in the morning)
7:15 am – Put clothes on
7:20 am – Put make up on
7:30 am – Pick up bags and ready to go out
It is actually faster to get most of my things ready for the next day, because in the morning I am half-asleep and it takes me longer to process things! I hope the tricks above work for you as well. Feel free to share any tricks that you might have for a fast rise and shine!
