I can take as little as 20 minutes to get ready if I don't really care how I look that day or as much as an hour if I am trying to look really nice.

For me this all varies greatly on what I need to do. My showers take about 15 minutes if I have to shave and I like to let conditioner sit in my hair for about 3-5 minutes. Once I am out, it takes me another 5-10 minutes to detangle my hair and separate my bangs from the rest. A few minutes to flat iron the bangs and then add product to my hair so it doesn't try to take over the world or become one big snarl by the end of the day. If I am straightening my hair, well that is an entirely different story. Preferably, I would have showered the night before so my hair is dry, then it takes about 30-45minutes to straiten it.

Whew! My hair is my most time consuming event.

My make up can take me anywhere from 5 minutes to do something simple like concealer, powder and eyeliner. I cannot leave the house with out these three things. This sounds bad, but I have tried in the past and my face gets super oily and I feel like shit all day. If I want my eyes to look really nice then makeup takes me about 10-15. All this includes moisturizing, tweezing the brows, etc.

The rest is fairly short. Swipe deodorant, spritz some Clinique Happy, slip on undergarments (some days this takes longer depending on my coordination wrangling the girls into a bra). Throw on clothes and socks and shoes, unless I'm going a la flip flop.

Now, if I am going somewhere with smrt on the motorcycle, I have to add another 15 minutes to put on my boots and suit up.

Oh and brushing my teeth is one of the first things I do in the morning.
