3Prioritize. Make a list in your mind from your #1 priority to your #10 priority (or however many things you do in the morning). Maybe having perfect hair is a big deal, but makeup isn't. Can you eat breakfast in the car or on the bus? You may not have time for everything to be perfect, but you can still look great.

4Drink a glass of water and eat something healthy. A whole-grain bagel with cream cheese and some coffee is a good way to start the day. Not enough time? Grab any piece of fruit (more caffeine then coffee!) and wash it down with some water.

5If you have dry skin/oily skin/lots of acne wash your face. If you have a pimple here and there, or maybe some shine across your nose, your face won't explode. Ignore it and move on! But if your face is dry/oily/with lots of acne spend a minute or two washing it with whatever you use, water, moisturizers, acne gel, etc.

6Your outfit should be simple and easy. If you are going to school, a simple t-shirt, jeans, and converse work together great. Work is different. You may need a uniform or to dress a certain way. Keep your outfit simple and don't worry about all the accessories. If you must, throw them in your purse and put them on at work.

7Hygiene is a must. Showering is out of the question. If your hair is greasy, you smell bad, and you feel dirty all over, there are some quick fixes for this.

8Oily hair and frizzy hair can be fixed. Using small amounts of baby powder can help oily hair, along with skin blotting paper. Don't put product in your hair, this will make it worse. Wear your hair up & away from your face, pulling your bangs back into a cute 'poof' or simply using bobby pins to keep them away from your face. For frizzy hair, use an anti-frizz serum or some kind of straightening cream. Your hair obviously needs to be brushed, but keep it to a minimum. Pull your hair back as well, or use a stylish headband.

9Work with your natural hairs texture. Time is of essence, and the straightener, blow dryer, curling iron, and hot rollers aren't your best friend. If you hair is straight, wavy, curly, frizzy, oily, or flat, you'll need to find a way to manage it without heat. Pony tails and headbands are a girls perfect match. Messy buns, sleek ponytails, you name it. Pony tails are fast, easy, and stylish.

10If you are set on straightening or curling your hair, you may have a challenge. As soon as you open your eyes, plug it in and turn it on whatever heat preference you like. Brush your teeth, eat breakfast, and get dressed. By this time your straightener or curling iron should be hot. Work fast. You may not have time to section your hair, so keep the straightener / curling iron hot and work in bigger sections than usual, only focusing on where you really need it (ex: if your bangs are naturally straight, don't straighten them!).
