Not enough hours in the day. I'm a busy mum. I've just come straight from work. My alarm didn't go off.
All excuses we use when we arrive somewhere looking less than put together right? Well we say - if you can't look the part; fake it. With a few cheats you won't look anything put 100% put together.
Here's some tips from the cheaters at BRHQ.
Hair -
- Dry shampoo is great for freshening hair when you don't have time to wash it.
- Try a sea-salt spray to add crunch to the greasiness - channel your inner beach bum / grungie.
- If you don't have time to curl or straighten your hair properly, twist sections of your hair tightly and run the straightener over them for soft waves. Which let's be honest, is better than a bird's nest.
- Style the front of your hair and your fringe and pull the rest back in a bun!
Cosmetics -
- If you're wearing peep toe shoes only paint the toes you can see.
- Line your lower lash and water line, close your eyes and rub along your closed lash line. Open your eyes and use a cotton bud to neaten the top line. Voila, on purpose, on trend, grunge eyes in less than a minute!
- Apply your moisturiser and BB Cream / Foundation in one step, you'll look fresh faced without having to stress about tide lines.
- Invest in a few multi-purpose products, like all over colour sticks, that can be used as an eyeshadow, blush and lipstick.
Other -
- No time to iron your clothes? Flat iron them.
- No time to shower? Wet wipes and deodorant are a dirty gal's best friend. That and a spritz of perfume!
- Having a chill day? Invest in some yoga pants - if you have to nip out they're actually fashionable, yet just as comfy as your tramp, I mean track, pants.

I hang majority of my clothes to avoid the need for ironing and some of my clothes such as uniform for work I was on a crease cycle and hang them on the line on their coat hanger...... I do this with my kids clothes aswell keeps the stress out of that one. Well tries to keep stress away.
