Pretty Is As Pretty Does

How long does it take you to get ready? Some of us may take longer than others, but is there a normal (acceptable?) length of time to spend on beauty efforts? I guess it depends on who you ask.

I personally love to take my time and can drag out the process for hours, depending on whether or not I have the time (or where I am going), but on average I spend one hour getting ready.

If for some reason I was only given a 15-min time limit, I could manage, but would not enjoy the rushed process because I genuinely enjoy the primping. I see it as something fun I get to do every day, so for women who loathe the process of getting ready, I can’t relate, but I can offer some advice:

Getting ready doesn’t have to be grueling if you consider it the first opportunity in your day to set the tone of the mood you CHOOSE to be in. Sometimes a little effort goes a long way so embrace the process.
