My school starts at 8am and I live about 10 minutes away from my school. I usually wake up at 7:30 or 7:40. Do the math.. I take about 10-15 minutes to get ready. My routine is wake up, brush hair, brush teeth, throw on some clothes, put on makeup quickly, and then leave. When i'm at home, I think I look alright. Not great but not bad. Usually I just throw on some jeans and a sweatshirt. Wear my hair down or up in a ponytail. Makeup is usually eyeshadow with mascara and some blush.
However... When I get to school, I notice that a lot of girls are dressed really cute. They look like they actually spent more than 20 minutes getting ready.. I hate to admit it, but i'm so jealous of these girls. I wish I could get up earlier and spend time getting ready. There were so many times when I tried getting up early, but i'm not a morning person at all. I just either turn off my alarm clock or just hit snooze a bunch of times.
Can anyone help me? Any advice you can give me? How can I wake up earlier and actually spend time (more than 20 minutes) getting ready??? I want to stop looking "ok" and actually look cute for the day :) Thank you!
For example, pick out our outfit at night and have it hung up all together and ready to go. Have it all ready, shoes, socks, bra, underwear, jewelry. Everything. That way all you have to do is put it on in the morning instead of looking for everything.
Also, I dont know what type of hair you have but style it at night. Obviously you shower at night since showering isnt a part of your morning routine. So say if you want to wear your hair down and straight, style it perfectly at night so that in the morning all you have to do is run a straightener through it quick to fix any mess ups that happened over night.
Going with my first suggestion of getting your clothes ready at night, you can do the same thing with makeup. When your getting your outfit ready at night, decide what makeup your going to wear and set that all out together.
Waking up only 10 minutes earlier can make a HUGE difference if you pair that with all these things. Having all your stuff ready and waiting for you plus having a few extra minutes should give you plenty of time to make yourself appear like you took longer than 20 minutes to get ready in the morning.
I'm not a morning person either, so I know how you feel.

1)If you have a cell why dont you set and alarm or let you parents wake at a cetain time.You will get used to it.
2)Wear your hair in cute hair styles like in a bun ,or bangs.any thing you like other than your usual hairstyle.
3)Go shopping and atleast buy a cute shirt and skirt,and wear it and see how u like it.
4)If this doesnt work..BE YOURSELF.
5)Sometimes they dont spend all that time doing it Trust me.
6)Sometimes i spend 12 hour getting ready.and sometimes my styles and stuff dont last a whole day.(depends on how active you are).
