6:45- hop out
6:46- towel dry hair decently and then take a nap
7:30- wake up (hopefully)
7:35- dry hair out more throughly (it's at mid-upper arm and super thick)

My routine is fairly simple in comparsion to some of the ones on this thread!

-Roll out of bed
-Hop in shower: wash hair with Neutrogena clarifying/shine shampoo and conditioner, wash face with Aveeno gentle exfoliating scrub, and use Oil of Olay body wash
-Put Bed Head straightening serum on hair
-Use Aveeno facial moisturizer
-Eat breakfast/read newspaper
-Dry hair using a big round brush to straighten it out
-Brush teeth
-Makeup: Stila foundation/concealer, mascara, Clinique shadow and chapstick
-Dress and out the door!

When I have class, I usually roll out of bed at 6-ish, get dressed, brush my teeth, then wash my face with the new Loreal Pure Zone clean face wash, then rise that, wash my face again with the Clean and Clear Continous Control Acne Cleanser, wash that off, then put on the the Loreal Pure Zone astringent, and then put Clean and Clear acne spot treatment on if I see any blemishes. (I really love the Loreal Pure Zone line in the clear blue bottles, it works so good. I also have the exfoliating stuff and the cream cleanser.) I then brush hair and take a nap until 7, and get up and go to class. I wear my glasses to class.

My hair/shower routine kind of weird. I take a shower everyother day (unless I'm stinky) but wash my hair about everyday in the sink, unless I take a shower that day. I cannot stand greasy/producty hair. My routine is usually get in the shower, scrub down with Bath and Body Works shower gel, then use a shower puff with Olay Mosturising Body wash, then shave. I was my hair with various things, depending on how much gunk is in it, and what it looks like. I use Loreal shampoo and conditioner in the fresh clean, and the mosturizing. I also use Biolage Hydrating Shampoo with the creamy conditioner in the jar, and sometimes I use TIGI Dumb Blonde reconstructor, Redken CAT conditioner, or Potion 7 reconstructor. After washing/conditioning, I then wash off again with Freesia bar soap from Bath and Body Works.

After shower I get out and put on shea butter lotion, powder my feet, towel dry my hair and put either Biolage Gydrofoaming Mousse in it, or the Physique mousse. Then I sometimes will blow dry. If I do, I'll put a tiny pea sized drop of Frizz-Ease cream on my little static hairs.

When I do have to look cute or I am going out, I go the distance and put on makeup (Almay foundation stick, Clinique pressed powder, bronzer/blush, eyeliner, shadow, mascara, Clinique Almost Lipstick or some gloss or real color, and put my contacts in and curl the hair...) I like makeup, just don't like having to take it all off... My suitemate that I live with is like a makeup artist, she does eyes like the pros! We all tell her she needs to drop out and go to beauty school.

Showers take me forever, my makeup routine and hair 30 min together...

My routine...
I used to have rapunzel hair, but I chopped it off about a month or so ago and damn is it liberating...

I have 8 am's every morning except Friday (and I'm a junior!) so I tend to get up around 6:30 or 7. Here's my routine
Get in the shower, wash hair, put in conditioner, wash face, rinse out conditioner, soap up, rinse, shave, get out of shower. Wrap hair up in superabsorbant towel, dry off w/ normal towel. Put in contacts, slather on prescription face stuff (freaking rosacea), put on deodorant, lotion, then wash hands. Comb thru hair, then put back up in towel. Put on some pajamas and eat breakfast. Then undo towel, rub some TIGI stuff thru my hair for body, then blow dry. Brush teeth, get dressed, put on makeup and out the door I go!! It takes right at an hour, if I do it right. Some days I roll outta bed around 7:30 take a shower, don't dry my hair, put on clothes brush teeth and leave. I'm always on time!!

Swissmiss, what kind of rosacea medication do you use? I use Metrocream at night.

[swissmiss04]

I use Metro lotion (cream) twice a day...it doesn't seem to be clearing up the problem I used to have I kid you not flawless skin and now I have these random patches of scaly god awful redness and my cheeks are constantly pink. I actually had to start wearing make up to cover it up, which I absolutely hate. Hope it works for you!!!

Well other than putting some gel in my hair to keep it basically frozen in place all day that's just about right Although it's been awhile since I cut myself shaving... Generally I wear clean clothes and don't leave (many) dirty clothes on the floor.

Call me crazy, but I just bought one of those fake ponytails. It's one of the really nice ones that look and feel real. Wearing it takes about 30 minutes out of my getting ready time. After I wash & condition my hair, I dry it, put it in a ponytail, and clamp the fake ponytail ontop. It looks so cute!! And when I went out in my hometown this weekend, I saw a lot of friends who I haven't seen in a while, and they all thought it was real! LOL

It would be crazy if someone unclamped it when I was out though. Because my hair is short, my real ponytail underneath the fake one makes me look like George Washington. hehehehe
