Fashion in the Flashiest of Flashes

This week's blog is dedicated to those women who are always on the go, always in a rush, or just plain lazy. Tips for quickie nail polish application to oily hair that needs a lift--this blog will go a long way. According to a New York Post online survey, it takes women an average of 54 minutes to get ready for work in the morning, let alone a night on the town, which takes about 90 minutes. Think it sounds outrageous? Think again. If one adds up the time it takes for hair, nails, tanning, shower, clothing, etc. that 90 minutes comes and goes in a flick of the mascara wand. Here are some tips for getting ready and cutting back on that 90 minute mark... 3,2,1...GO!

Here are a few of my favorite products:

Avon has become genious! Creating a nail polish that doesn't smear, smudge, and takes a matter of minutes to apply. This new polish comes in eight color variations and allows for a quick change of color or a quick fix before a dinner date. These are sold through Avon reps or on the Avon website. The average price range is around $10 for 2 packages. Try that new red color in a rush and voila!


This product looks like a Benadryl Allergy pill or a birth control package--but its lip glosses. Just as easy to apply minus the messy tube. These packages offer a variety of 30 different colors of glosses in an easy pop-out package. They are dotted and can be torn to a small square that slips in a clutch or small evening bag. Use gloss instead of lipsticks and liners which could take longer. These are a definite time saver!


I have found true love! This blowdryer is a bit costly--but in the end cuts down on time and arm energy. It is approximately $119 and can be found almost anywhere. (But--thanks to my mother, the the hairdresser -- *plug for mom* -- I got this dryer for half the cost at the warehouse). The Tourmaline T3 is ionic, which soaks up a majority of the moisture in the hair follicle, yet still keeps the hair soft and silky. This is a sure way to help the hair get back in better shape and makes frizz float away.


Bumble and bumble’s new hair powder is, quite predictably, amazing. I love the powder and use it frequently since I have been informed (by mother) that the key to healthy hair is to only wash it when necessary because oils in the hair are good and keeps bacteria and pollution from entering the particle. I love this product but the aerosal spray can creates pollution for the environment *frown*you do have to hold your breath and run out of the room prior to choking. Annoying…but I guess this is what I’ll do for beauty (and somewhat clean-ish hair).




This product is a three-in-one savior! Found at Sephora.com, it is a shampoo. bubble bath, and body wash all in one. This saves space and seconds on the clock. The smell is reminiscient of mornings waking up and aroma of cinnamon buns and Christmas cider with cinnamon shavings. It is utterly breathtaking. A must have for any girl's shower ethics. Average cost? $16.




Hope these helpful hints hinder time and help the morning and night go by swifter. Till next time..

Ta ta! Ms T xoxo
