Woke up late for class... again? Snoozed your alarm about 15 times? If you're anything like me, you wake up at the last possible minute, leaving yourself just enough time to throw your hair in a pony tail, put on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt, grab a cereal bar, and run out the door. Here are the things that every lazy girl needs to know while getting reading in the morning.
Dry shampoo is your friend.Â
Contrary to popular belief, washing your hair everyday is actually bad for it. Constant shampooing strips your hair of its natural oils and dries it out. Dry shampoo freshens your hair and disguises these healthy oils, while saving you time by not washing your hair!Â
Have a daily, 3-minute makeup routine.
Start with concealer and powder, add a little bronzer to give your skin a natural glow, swipe on some mascara, and you're done! It doesn't have to be difficult, but keep it simple and consistent. The morning when you only have a few minutes to get ready is not the time to try out new makeup trends.Â
Wear a hat.Â
Never underestimate the power of a good baseball cap in the spring or a beanie in the colder months.Â
The sock bun is life-changing.Â
A sock bun is the easiest way to look presentable in the least amount of time with the least amount of effort. No hot tools here, all you'll need is a sock and two hair ties. You can find a tutorial here.Â
Pick out your outfit the night before.
Most days, the struggle of deciding what to wear leaves me wearing leggings and a t-shirt. But, by picking out my outfit the night before, I save time in the morning and still look presentable.Â
Have a couple go-to outfits picked out for those days when you just can't even.Â
Pick out 4 or 5 outfits that you can throw on knowing it fits, matches, and look decent. Requires virtually no effort.Â
Prepare coffee the night before.
Prepare your coffee at night (put coffee filter in coffee maker, put coffee grounds in filter, etc.), so all you have to do in the morning is turn on the coffee pot. Buy disposable coffee cups and travel mugs to drink it on-the-go!Â
