Looking good and being in style are all about the little things. Of course, it's important to have the right outfits and hair, but little things like make-up problems, awkwardly fitting clothes, mismatched accessories, or sleepiness after a long night can render all your fashionable dressing pointless. If you don't have a lot of time to take care of every little thing, try these easy fashion-fix-ups to help you look good on the go.
1. Put dirty hair up: If you're in a rush and can't spare the time to lather and rinse your hair, just put it up in a stylish bun. This'll keep your hair out of the way until you have a chance to wash it.
2. Spruce up after exercise: If you need to be somewhere after exercising, use a disposable wipe on your face and any areas of your body that have gathered sweat. Then, use a scented, deodorizing body powder to sop up any excess moisture and keep you smelling fresh. The good news is that after exercising you'll have a nice, healthy flush to your cheeks.
3. Mix hair-drying methods: Blow drying may give you the look you want, but it can be quite time consuming. So, rather than blow drying from the start, first use a towel to dry your hair as much as possible. Then, when your hair is no longer dripping wet, use maximum heat to zap the remaining moisture out of your hair. As you're blow drying, brush out any tangles.
4. Quick self-facial: Professional facials can take forever, but you can perform almost all the important elements of a facial on yourself in under 10 minutes. Wash your face with an oil-free cleanser; massage your face with a gentle scrub for 30 seconds; apply a natural mask that contains tons of nutrients and fruit enzymes; finish with an oil-free moisturizer; and apply your usual make-up. All of this takes a short time, and you'll come out looking refreshed.
5. Stretch out your jeans: If you're in a hurry to get out the door and you can't quite button up those jeans all the way, put them on, leave the fly open, and do a series of lunges and squats to stretch them out. If this doesn't work, spray the tight spots of the jeans with a little bit of warm water, and then try the lunges and squats again. This should do the trick.
6. 10-second makeover: If you're in public and you're not looking your best, you can upgrade your look almost instantly. Pinch your cheeks to bring a little red out, tap your fingers around your eyes to get blood flowing to the area, and shake out your hair for a sexy semi-messy look.
7. Use a purse within a purse: If you have several purses but find that switching between them is a little too time consuming, keep all your purse belongings in a smaller bag within your purse. This way, you can switch everything to a different bag with no fuss.
