Looking for a way to streamline your morning to spend less time in the bathroom, less time cleaning up after yourself, and yet consistently emerge polished for the day? Try putting together a bin of the minimum items you need to get your hair and face ready in the morning. After showering, pull out your bin and do the basics. When you finish, store the bin back inside your cupboard. The clean up couldn’t be easier, your clutter is off the counter, you don’t waste any morning time looking for anything–and best of all, you ensure that you at least leave the house with a certain amount of polish. For harried work days, this keeps me looking my best when my mind is on other things.
Here’s what’s in my bin:
1. straighten & shine blow dry spray
2. mousse
3. hair dryer
4. round brush
5. hair spray
6. clear makeup bag (so I can quickly see the contents)
7. concealer
8. everyday foundation
9. dark brown mascara
10. bronzer
11. neutral, natural colored eye shadow
12. long lasting lip tint
