It lets the rollers get enough time in my hair, and gets my hair off my face while putting my makeup on!

In fact, my sister is notorious for being late and I always lie and tell her a time to be ready by half an hour before we actually need to leave ;-) I think a lot of it is convincing yourself that earlier time IS your deadline, it helps so much!Stang & Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16827202114140608913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996301664716976430.post-75091758005116705462015-06-17T21:01:51.624-04:002015-06-17T21:01:51.624-04:00This post is totally my jam.

I often have to run to the car (while he's already in it) barefoot with shoes in hand because I don't want to keep him waiting any longer!

I love that I know I'm done and all I have to do before leaving is...whatever I want! I could be better on weekends, but a lot of the time we don't have a set time to leave and Michael then asks, "How long is it going to take you to get ready?" I always say I don't know and he makes me give him a time estimate...drives me nuts!Mattie @ Northwest Nativehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05164010338046849742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996301664716976430.post-49393302216316875352015-06-17T16:58:58.606-04:002015-06-17T16:58:58.606-04:00These are great tips.

And I hate when I've had an outfit picked in my head for a long time, and it doesn't work out. Having a second outfit picked out would definitely help.

I am usually chronically early but when those times come that I know I'll be running late I leave off the things I know I can do in the car, (when Chris is driving or right before I walk into where ever) jewelry, perfume, mascara, shoes, extra bobby pins, teasing. I mean that's like 20 minute right there! ;)marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10115462178125335307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996301664716976430.post-42948229816425723162015-06-17T12:15:13.427-04:002015-06-17T12:15:13.427-04:00#1 rule is totally to leave yourself more time tha...#1 rule is totally to leave yourself more time than you think you'll need.
