How To Be Ready For The Day In Under Five Minutes

There are have been many times where I go to sleep at night with the intention of waking up, getting ready, and looking like a functioning member of society for the day. However, by the time the morning comes I talk myself into hitting the snooze button until the very last minute leaving no time for makeup. I have gone through this routine so many times that I have found some tricks to looking awake and refreshed when I actually just rolled out of bed. Here are five simple tips to looking like you’re ready to take on the day.

1. Drink so much water

Drinking water truly is the solution for everything. Staying hydrated is is essential for keeping your skin healthy. By drinking enough water you can skip the foundation and embrace your natural skin instead!

2. Be the queen of vaseline

Rather than using highlighter to get the perfect glow, you can quickly swipe some vaseline over your cheekbones and on the tip of your nose. This way when the light hits you you’ll give the illusion of a healthy glow and it only takes a second. You can also make your lashes look great quickly by putting vaseline on them and then curling them.

3. Conceal don’t feel

Nothing makes a person look more exhausted than having dark bags under their eyes. If you’ve pulled too many all nighters dab a little bit of concealer under your eyes to brighten them immensely. I recommend using Maybelline’s instant age rewind eraser dark circle treatment concealer for quick and easy application.

4. Where’s the chapstick?

Not only can chapstick make your lips look fuller, but dabbing a little bit on your cheeks can add some color to your face without taking the time to put on blush. Burt’s bees tinted lip balm is great for this because of its creamy consistency and high pigmentation.

5. Spray and go

Priming and setting sprays can be just as helpful alone as they are when used with makeup. Using a primer like Urban Decay’s quick fix or Mario Badescu’s facial spray with aloe will leave your skin looking healthy and glowing.

All of these hacks are very quick and allow you to go from bed to out the door in under five minutes! Now you won’t have to sacrifice those five extra minutes for looking ready for the day.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
