RE: How long does it take you to get ready?

bumblebee · Dooney & Bourke

about 1/2 hour for the whole thing: shower, blow-dry hair, make coffee, a bit of makeup, pick out an outfit, leave house. although i usually try to give myself an hour so that i can be leisurely. i'm the opposite of a morning person, but if i can sit and drink my coffee slowly, wash whatever dishes are in sink, pack random things into my tote as i think of them, etc. i am usually happier throughout the day.

Everything included it takes me a little under an hour to get ready. The bulk of my time is spent doing my hair, about 20 minutes. I pick out my clothes, iron them and shower at night (I feel dirty getting into the bed without a shower, I'm really weird about it). It takes me around 20 minutes to eat breakfast. Usually I warm my car (in the winter) while I put on my makeup in the house, which takes around 15 minutes, during which I am running around stuffing my purse, putting on mascara and eyeshadow and finding matching earrings.

This is sad...

When I have to wash my hair, a little over an hour...otherwise maybe just under an hour.

25 min. showering (when I'm not washing hair, this gets cut in half

15 min. applying lotion and face cream, etc. etc.

2 min doing hair (which is why it looks like crap every day I guess)

15 min. getting dressed

10 min makeup (sometimes these 10 min are on the bus on the way to work)

30 minutes which doesn't seem that long but is pathetic considering how little i do. i shower and pick out my clothes at night. so in the morning i wash my face, run my fingers through my hair (though to be honest if the bun i put in at night looks relatively decent i don't bother) pack my bag, and run out the door. i'm not a morning person, so a lot of this time is spent dawdling around my apt. and i almost always end up forgetting to pack something i need for the day.

LoMish · Kate Spade

usually about an hour

15 min shower
10 min makeup
15 min hair-drying and styling (thick hair goo)
10 min bfast and email
10 min picking out what to wear, brushing teeth, etc.

but it's amazing how fast i can get ready if i'm late to class....funny how that happens :)
