There really are no shortcuts. Simply be conscious, take care of yourself, and spend time on yourself. You deserve it. That said, choosing effective and quality products costs you a lot less in the long term. I spent time and money on buying my cleanser and moisturiser, but now I don't have to replace them nearly as often.

That said, waxing my legs has saved me plenty of time shaving. And getting your eyebrows done professionally isn't that costly, and is usually a lot more effective and worth it.

That's brilliant. It goes to show that conscious choice truly pays off. You may pay time and money for quality, short-term, but in the long-term, you look better, feel better, and likely end up spending less.

These tips are definitely useful! With so much to do in our schedules, it's hard to find enough time to get ready and out of the house in time for the day! Adding to tip number 2, I usually brush my teeth as the conditioner is in my hair just to save more time.

I definitely like tip 7, I'm going to give that a try.

Thanks for the tips! I find lathering body lotion takes the longest out of my routine, not to mention trying to cover every spot on your body! I will definitely try out Tip #2 & 3.

I often air-dry my hair while I'm doing my make-up. A quick towel dry right out of the shower speeds up the drying process and avoids drips of water droplets. Then I either lightly pin my bangs back, or tie it back so while it air dries, it still gives it some shape. And if I have time I just flip my hair over and blow dry. On a side note, I sometime spray in a little bit of Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray while I do air-drying and blow drying for some added volume.

Natural lip colours are usually the most flattering and they also don't require a lip pencil. Spend the time with a professional getting the best shade for you and you will save even more time in the morning.
