Friday Fives: Efficient Tips For Busy Gals

Dry shampoo is a must-have for busy girls.


Be Prepared
Eating on the go doesn’t have to mean grabbing the closet pre-made dish from a deli. At night, make a large batch of healthy smoothies, grab one for breakfast as you’re walking out your door in the morning. Or chop veggies and store them in easy-to-take containers. Voila!

Color Coordinate
It may seem like a daunting task at first, but if you color coordinate your closet in your free time, it will make quickly putting your hand on that red blouse a lot easier than if you’re sifting through your wardrobe for an hour.

Turn to Tinted
Sometimes simply eliminating one step in your morning beauty routine can save you valuable minutes. Use a tinted moisturizer for a flawless face in seconds.

Do Dirty
With all the dry shampoos out there today, you absolutely do not have to wash your hair every morning. And if you’re in a pinch, a touch of baby powder will do—just be sure to dust off the excess!

Nail It Down
No time for a mani? Check out the array of stick-on nails for a professional-looking mani in minutes! You can choose fun prints and colors that will last you up to two weeks!
