Yesterday (ahem.. and today..) I woke up extremely late. I don't really know why! Actually, I do know why. My phone alarm went off and I simply turned it off, not even considering that I should get up. What was I thinking?! I don't know, but regardless of why I woke up late, it happened. I had to hurry hurry hurry to look decent, which didn't succeed to well I might add. I read a post on a blog recently about getting ready with minimal time and I was thinking, "Why didn't I think of that?!" the the whole time. I just couldn't resist sharing! Now when I wake up late I will keep these little tips in mind, I hope you do too!
- Cushion your time with the right clothes. Have two emergency outfits ready at all times based on the season. This means, go home tonight and coordinate two failsafe ensembles. Try them on, make sure you like how they look and keep them in mind when you’re in a pinch. If all else fails, go all black and wear a fun pair of shoes along with one quirky accessory.
- Use your stash of double duty beauty products. All of the multitasking beauty products are truly a modern marvel. Who knew a cream stick blush could double for lipstick and provide SPF protection? To get fresh on the fly, wash your face with cold water to revive your complexion. If you are able, use redness relief eye drops to wake up your tired eyes. Next, apply your favorite tinted moisturizer with SPF in it. Then use a cheek stain on the apples of your cheeks as well as your lips to add a healthy flush. Finally, take 10 seconds to curl your lashes and swipe on 2 coats of volumizing mascara. Trust me, curled lashes is the best way to make yourself look awake—it really opens up the eyes. As for lip color, you can apply lipstick or gloss en route to your destination…
- Know your knots. Unless you are one of the lucky few that wake up with perfect hair, I suggest knowing your topknots, ponys and buns.Note: If your hair is particularly greasy, be sure to have some dry shampoo around to absorb excess oil.
- Eat on the go. I’m not a big fan of eating on the run, but it’s important to be well nourished so you can start the day on the right foot. When you’re in a time crunch, snag a banana or granola bar on your way out the door.
- Arrive with grace. It’s important to keep things in perspective and not get too caught up in your mistakes. This is something that applies to all aspects of life. We’ve all been there. Needless to say, by remaining calm and collected you will be able to turn your frazzled day around instead of riding the crazy train straight into a full-blown bad day.
I hope these will help you as much as they help me! Have a wonderful weekend, and don't forget to follow me! (:
