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 Pictures Of Myself, Why do you always look so bad? And, no.. I am not saying I’m ugly or any of that.. so please, don’t jump down my throat about that. But you know how some girls look 100 times better in their photos than in real life? Well, that’s not me.. and people have had no issue telling me that. Which, I guess is better.. unless you only see photos of me.. ehh, whatever. Dear Blog, I will be spending some time on you today. Planning some posts, commenting on some of my favorite blogs.. all of that stuff good bloggers do. Dear Friday, I’m so glad to be seeing you! Next Friday I will be enjoying Chicago for the very first time at the Keane concert with the love of my life! I need to make you a very productive day.. since Thursday was anything but productive. Dear Lucas Blaze, Thank you so much for planning on booking our room today after you get out of work around 7am… You’re the best. Last weekend was so amazing. I love all of our fun little dates. Dear Dark Hair, ...

Now or never... (QUICK UPDATE)

I wasn't lying when I said that I wanted to get back into blogging. However, life took multiple turns and I've been too busy to sit down at my computer and produce a decent blog post. It can't hurt to fill in anyone that still reads my blogs, but might not closely follow me on social media. After TWO years of being single and not being into the idea of dating anyone, I'm actually in a relationship. I know at the beginning of a relationship it's expected to be in the state that you feel like you've never been happier. The difference is, I've known my boyfriend for 11 years. When we were young, we'd always act like a couple. We never had a "title" back then no matter how many times we reconnected. Seven months ago, he finally moved back home. I was so excited to have him back in my life. Then I realized that I wasn't okay with just being his friend. After about 5 months of blowing him off and him giving up trying to hang out, I finally ex...
