Pretty & Witty

Studying takes most of a young woman's time.... and if it does not... which lets admit it to ourselves ... sometimes it does not... it is a priority that needs to be on the top of the list. In our early twenties we are the busiest we will ever be. Spending my days chasing dreams ... and flirting with a boy ... or two leaves only a few spared minutes dedicated to "me time". While I sit in my yoga pants and giant reading glasses I tell everyone are just for show... but if I didn't use I would have to walk with a cane or guide dog... I study for hours and when I take my nose from those books I often find myself with 30 minutes before I must be on a date or at a promised event.

Because I know I am on the same yacht (in the same boat) as many other women, who are studious or have very hectic work schedules, I will share several products I use to make my hair, face, and body look like Ive spent the last week held up somewhere in the Berkshires in a five star spa.


As a pampered woman I am not terribly proud of the fact that it takes about 2 and some hours to get ready when I am primping for an event. However I have mastered the 10 minute shower with a quick shave when I totally miss schedule my life and freak out because I am going to be a little late .... ok very late. 
Once I've spent the danger shower with the lufa in one hand and a razor in another, there are things I do before panic sets in, while I am studying to make sure my handsome date thinks all my attention was spent on prep for the date he so cleverly planned.

ONE
Pre-Treat
Skin & Hair
I know, I have written several posts about oils and how they are gods gift to beauty. But I'm going to go ahead and spin my broken record one more time. Oils are best on clean skin but waking up to your favorite bottle of enriching beautifully scented oil will not only put you in a better mood immediately but also when showered away do not lose their benefits because they are so fast acting.


TWO
Leave on Facial Masks
I am currently wearing a Fresh Face Masks by Lush((cosmetic warrier) while I write to you! I love these but I never get the chance to grab them because you must be close to a store location because the masks are mixed in house. I'm in love with studying in a mask not only do you loose track of time letting all of the goodness soak in, you are not tempted to touch your face or rest your hand on your chin which is the reason I need the acne mask in the first place.


THREE
White Teeth
While the large conglomerates have some products that work. I, myself use Colgate's whitening toothpaste. A weekly deep white treatment is what makes my smile pearly white. Baking soda and water is "your grandmothers" quick fix for several household tragedies but I swear by it for my teeth. A weekly ritual takes no time at all and baking soda is easy to find and can be used elsewhere.  When your dates sees your coy smile at a silly joke he spouted you can be sure he will swoon.

 

My secret little study/ beauty routine is yours to use and expand upon. I know you will all be a little more efficent with your time management. That is what this crazy balencing act is all about. Happy, Beautiful. Young and Crazy fun! Study hard and make them swoon!
