We all wake up wishing we could have a
leisurely hour or two to have a relaxing shower or soak in the tub, peruse
through our closets at ease and take a good while on our dressing tables before
we need to head out the door for work. However, reality often is that we need
to quickly get dressed, make ourselves presentable and rush out the front door
after we finish a little of what needs to be done around the house first!

| Diamonds are forever! |
While we all may not have the time or
resources to go buy diamonds in New York, or the latest fashion
offerings from Milan on a regular basis, looking and feeling great is
definitely a goal all of us can achieve. If you end up feeling rushed every
single time you have to leave the home and always feel a little 'unfinished',
here are some time saving tricks to help you out -
Double duty make up - The world of cosmetics today is a
marvelous one. You find a huge variety of products out there that have
multiple purposes in one, helping you cut down a considerable amount of time
and shave off minutes from your daily routine. If you are an only slip
moisturizer on and go kind of a girl then look for a face and body cream with
sunscreen in it, this will save you the added time of applying both products
with the recommended gap. If you require a little extra coverage you can skip
the foundation and add concealer where you truly need it, put your moisturizer
and quickly dust off with a compact or face powder that sets it all in. Or
another great alternative is to look for a moisturizer with added foundation
built it in or the ever popular BB and CC creams nowadays that are beneficial
for the skin and provide a decent dose of coverage or base. Need to do a quick
touch up while at work or when commuting? Consider purchasing a face tint or
cream that can double up as blush as well as color for your lips. Look for the
right kind of double agents and you can save a few precious minutes every
morning!
Easy fall-back outfits – One thing that
is a huge time suck is standing in front of your wardrobe thoroughly confused
about what to wear. One of the best systems for busy women on the go is to
create a few easy fall back outfits, i.e. outfits you know always work well
together and leave you feeling well put together and looking great. On a
weekend or day off come up with a few ready outfits right from tops to shoes
and bags that always make you feel comfortable and fabulous. Things you would
reach for on a day without any hassle. Take pictures and tape on the inside of
your closet for easy and quick inspiration and ideas when you don't have the
leisure to browse through its contents.
Simple hair styles – A bad hair day can
derail even the most chic outfit! When you are in a hurry and your hair just
doesn't seem to cooperate it can be a boon to slip your hair into a no fuss yet
appropriate hair do. Learn a few simple hairstyles like a sleek ponytail with a
barrette, a simple knot or how to quickly just iron or blow dry sections of
your hair for maximum effect.
Slip on one stand out accessory –
Whether you prefer to buy diamonds from New York or are more of a flea
market kind gal, the right accessories can elevate even the most simple outfit.
Slip on a great pair of earrings or a beautiful necklace, an eye-catching scarf
or a killer pair of shoes and the like to polish up a neutral outfit you have
slipped on in a hurry. Keep a few of your stand out accessories accessible near
or on your dressing table for easy grabbing.
Ready, get, set, gorgeous!
