So, we all struggle with this. Getting out of bed in the morning, stumbling to the shower, fighting with your hair, and destroying your closet. This morning I was thinking about the steps I unconsciously take to get through my morning routine as drama-free as possible.
1. Prepare your meals the night before. I like to cook something on Sunday that will be good for the whole week. I also keep oatmeal at work and green tea.
2. Don't oversleep. Now I'm a snooze-two-or-three-times-a-morning-person, so I allow myself more time to actually make it out of the bed.
3. Get your butt in the shower. That always wakes me up.
4. While in the shower-mentally pick out an outfit to wear. If you can't figure out the whole outfit, at least think "I want to wear boots" or "how about that green cardigan". It's a start.
5. Dry off, plug in hair dryer and straightener (or whatever applies), put a towel around your hair.
6. Make bed while hair dries a bit. At this point I also like to turn on the news :)
7. Put on part of your make up (I usually save eye make up for after I've dried my hair...so I don't melt my mascara)
8. Fix hair
9. Finish make up
10. Put on clothes
11. Grab lunch
12. Out the door!
How long did that take you? I think this morning it took me 45 minutes because I had to dry and straighten my
uber thick hair. Some mornings I use
Psssst to save time and skip hair.
