Ten Tips for Getting Ready Fast in the Summer
Six trips in 5 weeks. I've got a lot on my plate and to make the most of every moment.
In order to save time and get the most out of every day, I wanted to share my speed dressing tips and tricks:
- Know what you are dealing with. Subscribe to a weather app on your phone. I use weather.com. Knowing what's coming helps me prepare for the week
- Pick your outfit the night before. It saves a ton of time to not re-think your outfit. Pick one and stick with your choice.
- Get a signature accessory. If you don't always have to fumble with selecting your accessories, you'll be a lot quicker when you're getting ready. I'm a fan of fun earrings. For you, it might be scarves or fun boots, show your personality with accessories.
- Have a to-go bag. Since I don't have a ton of time to get ready in the morning, I have a bag of beauty supplies I carry with me. When I get a moment or two I can carry-on with the prep. My little kit has an emery board, lip balm and eye cream.
- Don't wash your hair every day. Befriend dry shampoo. It'll save you 30 minutes of washing and drying.
- Find a BB cream. Multitasking beauty products are a busy moms best friend. I love BB creams with SPF in them. With one cream I'm moisturizing, getting sun protection and color perfecting.
- Never underestimate the power of sunglasses. On the days I really have to dash and have no time for makeup I sweep my hair into a ponytail and grab my chicest pair of sunglasses. Check out these four of our favorites.
- Stick to neutral nails. If I know I have a busy stretch of weeks, I don't go for big color on my nails. Neutral colors don't show ships as fast!
- Keep your face wash in the shower. I try to be as speedy as possible. I keep a bottle of my face wash in the shower to make getting ready a bit faster--every second counts.
- Keep hair removal simple. I rely on a cool facial razor and I invested long ago in laser hair removal. Getting a jump on hair removal really pays off--you won't have to make trips to the salon for waxing.
