Getting ready in a rush is a super stressful experience and people will normally try and cram their regular routine into the limited time they have, which will mostly always end up in you being late to school, work, a meeting or your hair appointment; what’s worse than showing up late?! So here are 5 hacks that will come in handy next time you’re getting ready in a rush.
Choosing your outfit the night before is a great tip whether you just want to be organised or if you’re simply alleviating some of the pressure in the event that you do sleep through your alarm! This will save a tonne of time in your morning routine as you don’t have to worry about picking an outfit, sorting through clean and dirty clothes or annoyingly, simply not being able to find anything suitable! Having your outfit laid out for you in the morning will not only save precious minutes, but also some of the inevitable stress of a morning rush.
This is a good tip regardless of whether you’re in a rush or not, as you’ll avoid spending money or choosing unhealthy lunch options if you have no lunch already prepared. Making a sandwich or a quick salad and leaving it in the fridge in a container ready for you to grab and go in the morning will save so much time and shave at least 10 minutes of your morning routine: perfect when trying to get ready in a rush. Not only will you succeed in getting ready in a rush but you’ll also be feeling healthier and happier with those few extra pennies still in the bank!
Doing your hair in the morning can be super time-consuming but also necessary for some people. Avoid spending time straightening or curling your hair by either spritzing a little dry shampoo in your hair if its a day or two old; pop it up in a quick ponytail or bun or even slide a few funky hair clips in to make a simple 1-minute hairstyle look like a chic and stylish do. Not only will this save time on your morning routine and help you get out the door in time, but you’ll also look super cute and put-together.
Cutting down on the steps in your makeup routine can be super time-saving. Using a BB cream instead of a foundation; applying a dusting of bronzer in your crease instead of eyeshadow; using a brow gel instead of a pen or pencil and skipping eyeliner altogether. All, or some, of these steps being implemented into your makeup routine will drastically reduce the time it takes you to get ready and you’ll end up with a simple, fresh makeup look that will dazzle in the summer sun.
Putting all of your daily essentials in your bag the night before can save so much time and will completely erase the potential issue of trying to find misplaced necessities such as your purse, keys or phone. Putting all of these things in your bag and any other essentials you might need such as your laptop, phone charger or umbrella, can really be a huge stress-relief and is one of the most vital steps in order to successfully get ready in a rush.
