Ready for work in 10 minutes? Here's how to do it without morning stress
- 3 min reading time
Vacation's over, the alarm’s back on and... what was your morning routine again? Switching from sleeping in to “help, I need to be at the office by half past eight” is always a bit of a shock. And most of all: how do you look like you’ve got everything under control in no time?
Spoiler: you don’t need a strict schedule or a hundred steps. With a little prep, you’ll be fresh and ready for work in no time. Even if you secretly hit snooze three times.
1. Starting the night before is the key
Morning stress usually starts the evening before. So if you know you’ll be short on time (or just don’t want to rush), be smart about it:
- Washing your hair? Do it in the evening. That way you won’t have a wet hair drama in the morning and you can create an overnight hair look.
- No time or no mood to wash? Spray some dry shampoo in your hair before bed. While you sleep, the dry shampoo works its magic and you wake up feeling fresh. No white residue, no hassle in the morning.
- Extra Glow? Use a bit of self-tanner for your face at night. Wake up with a fresh, Sun-kissed glow! No foundation needed!
- Choosing your outfit in the morning = chaos. Lay it out in advance, including Sief accessories, shoes and bag. Trust me: the next morning you’ll thank yourself.
2. Wake up & make-up in minutes
No time (or patience) for a long make-up routine in the morning?
This mini routine leaves you looking awake and polished without the fuss:
- Start with a little concealer under your eyes and on any redness.
- Then apply some blush or bronzer to add some colour to your face.
- And finish with some mascara.
This gives you a fresh, natural look in no time, so you can shine at work without spending ages in front of the mirror.
Tip: Want to be even faster? Keep these baSics in a separate toiletry bag.
3. Sleep = style (without heat!)
No time to curl or style your hair in the morning? Let your hair do the work while you sleep:
- Sleep with braids for beachy waves. Perfect if you like loose summer waves.
- Use a Heatless curls set – adds curl and volume without heat. Super easy
- Satin pillowcase = wake up frizz-free. A must if you suffer from brittle or dry hair. Tip: you can use this with the Heatless curls set for beautiful curls without heat and frizz (you can also use a bonnet for this).
Ready to rock your day
With a little prep and smart shortcuts, you can turn your morning routine into a mini moment of calm. So start the night before, lay out your stuff and style your hair while you sleep. You got this!
