The lazy girl's cheat sheet for getting ready

If you're anything like me, getting ready can be a long process. I'm the biggest profectionist. I can spend hours doing my make up, or painting my nails.. simply because I want everything perfect.

However, lately.. I don't want to get ready. I want to lay in bed or do anything else instead of getting ready. The other day someone made a comment about how I must spend hours getting ready.. it totally made me laugh.. so I decided to share some simple things that I do in order to get ready in no time.


COSMETICS


When I have no time to get ready, makeup is the simplest part of my routine.
Primer
Foundation
Blush/Bronzer
Eyes!

When I'm trying to pull off looking like I didn't spend 4 minutes on my makeup I make sure my eye shadow draws attention. But, nothing too drastic. 
Pretty much use any colors and do a smokey eye. Using different size brushes makes this really easy because you can add color to any part of your eye lid.
I don't use eye liner 95% of the time. I use eye shadow. 
I get many comments about how awesome my "eye liner" looks.. it's really just eye shadow that matches my lids. 
For example if I'm using pink eye shadow I'll use a light pink to put under my bottom lashes, I make it a little thicker than I would normal eye liner because it's not dark and won't make me look like a raccoon. I take a darker pink and put it right under my lashes as if it was eye liner.
Then just load on a great mascara. ;)


HAIR
A pony tail takes less than 5 minutes to do, and you CAN make it look attractive. 
The one picture can not be shown in color because my roots look horrible!!! (I get them done ever 2 weeks) I did get them done today.. so no worries!


First, tease the crap out of your hair. Curl the pony tail if you'd like or even keep it straight. Make it big, make it messy.



SMELL GREAT
I know that I have an insane amount of lotions and sprays.. but it always feels great to be able to change up your scent.



DURING THE WEEK
I seem to have these days 2-3 times a week.. so I make sure I'm prepared for them.


KEEP YOUR TEETH WHITE
Having a great smile is always something great to look at. It's simple too!

KEEP YOUR SKIN CLEAR
Wash your face daily, do a few face masks whenever you have a chance. If you have clear skin all the time that will be one less thing you'll have to worry about.

CHANGE UP YOUR NAILS
Another simple thing that will make people think that you actually spend time on your looks.. even if you're having a lazy day. I change up my polish about 2 times a week. It's so simple to learn how to do cute designs too!




And that's about it! I need to get going to bed because tomorrow, I can't have a lazy getting ready morning. I'm at school 9am-5pm and then I have to rush home so we can leave for the Wings game.. so I have to be ready before school. Blah!
Have a great Thursday!!!!

You can’t blog with us!

I’m not digging all of these big shot bloggers trying to make these rules for blogging. I have read posts about how not everyone should have a blog. If you’re not a big shot blogger, like myself.. this post is for you. If you are a big shot blogger, this post is also for you.. but, none of you will read this. These are just some of the rules that I don’t follow.. Your blog will be judged by it’s cover. Have a perfect layout. If spending $100 to have some make a layout for my blog means you’ll read my blog and you’ll follow me.. then I don’t give a damn if you’re not following me. Respond to all comments left on your blog. It is important to respond to comments.. however, I do understand why people can’t always respond. Personally.. if you ask me something I most likely will respond. A lot of the time I get comments that pretty much all I can say is “Thank you!” to.. I mean.. I’ll absolutely always respond if you e-mail me.. or even if you comment on instagram.. I respond almost inst...

Friday’s Letters!!!!

Dear Bret Michaels, Once I had a film class. It was so badass and made me wish I was an actress. I actually love being in front of the camera acting.. ANYWAYS..

Dear Poison and Def Leppard, See you on Saturday!!!.. I’m pretty damn nervous to party with a bunch of people older than my mom. But, thank you for giving me an excuse to have extra big hair and dress like I belong in the 80’s.. I’ll look better than all these old chicks that still live in the 80’s.. Just sayin’.. Dear Friday’s Letters, You always make me so happy to write! I love that this link up always gets me so much positive feedback! It always makes my Friday so much better!.. I work Friday nights and Saturday mornings.. so Friday isn’t always as awesome to me as it is to everyone else. Dear Ashley from Adventures of Newlyweds, The first time I ever linked up I mention...
