Maybe you overslept, or get a last-minute invitation to brunch, or your new crush calls and says theyâre near your neighborhood â weâve all had to get ready in five minutes at some point. And itâs not easy to cram what normally takes forty minutes into just five, but it can be done. Even if youâre not running late, these tips can help save time and get you ready faster.
Pick out your outfit the night before - Sure, itâs an obvious solution, but it really helps. When youâre already rushing to get out the door, you donât have time to be searching your closet for something to wear. Picking it out the night before gives you time for ironing too, so you can be wrinkle-free and on time.
Play two âget readyâ songs - The music will motivate you and you can gauge how much time you have left by the songs. Itâs way more fun than setting a five-minute alarm.
Skip the shower and use wipes instead - Invest in some good grown-up wipes that donât have harsh chemicals in them, so when you donât have time for a shower you use them and donât have to spend the day stinky.
Sleep on a silk pillowcase - Theyâre supposed to be better for your hair, apparently the cotton ones weâve been using are stealing the moisture from our strands and making it frizzy. Using a silk pillowcase should save you time fixing your hair.
Use a lip-cheek tint - You only have five minutes, so you canât do a full face of makeup. But you can add some color to your complexion with a lip-cheek tint. Hit your cheeks and your pucker with the product and youâre good to go.
