Lovelyish

I basically just wash my face, brush my teeth, go to the bathroom, get dressed.  I take a shower the night before.
It probably takes me like fifteen minutes.  Definitely low-maintenance. 

It takes me a half hour to wake up after the first alarm goes off. My alarm does a 5 minute interval ring until I actually turn it off. Then, I just grab a random shirt and pants. Then it takes me about 15 minutes total to brush my teeth and do my hair (I wash my hair in the morning and then apply my gel). That’s about it. =P

I can’t detail the time of my morning routine, because I vary it. I wake up at six every morning, then depending on if I’m at my mom’s or my dad’s, I wash my face, perhaps eat breakfast, brush my teeth, straighten my hair, pick out clothes, do my makeup. I also spend 10 minutes or so online, and maybe another 10 reading the paper. All in all, I leave my house an hour or less after I wake up (which I do very quickly, btw.) If necessary, though, I can be ready and relatively decent-looking in 15 minutes. I just like having time to make sure I look good and do things for fun.

It takes me around an hour, depending on what I do with my hair.  It’s an awkward length right now, so I usually pin it up or wear a hat or scarf.

I can manage with 30minutes. MINIMUM.

I take a shower the night before to eliminate all that time. I wake up, brush my teeth and wash my face (10 min). I either plug in my curling iron or flat-iron (1 min), do my makeup (30 min; I have mineral makeup that I use that sometimes gets messy so I have to be careful), curl/flatten my hair (15 min), then put on my outfit on (10-15 min depending if I know what I’m going to wear).

So total time appears to be around one hour and 10 mins that makes up my morning routine…my goodness…that’s a lot time!

get up, eat breakfast,  wash face and brush teeth, and whilst checking my Xanga blog in between I get dress.

my whole routine = 15min* if im late
Skip the shower
Brush my teeth, wash my face – lotion
Outfit – grab whatever thats on the chair
and RUN

I get up and turn on the computer, brush teeth/wash face, make tea, eat breakfast, check computer, get dressed, put on make up, straighten hair, drink tea, then leave for school. this takes me anywhere from 20 to 50 minutes.

I am a less than ten min to get up (stumbling so included)– kinda girl. And I think that’s just fine for me. I don’t think you’re weird for wanting to look really good to go to class or just in general, but in my experience, as nice as the ideal might be, I don’t think it’s nessessarily true.

Granted, you don’t want to go to lecture looking like you had just passed out in the room– while at the same time, In my school, there are a shiton of faces that the professors will not see. And spending an extra 30 mins of sleep time or homework time to get up to get ready so that a professor thinks you’re there to learn is silly. A professor will gage how much you learn by how well you do in their class– not how you look when you’re sitting there.

Then again, I go to a nerd school. the rules might be different from the pretty girls from the engineering girls…

I’m quite shocked that your 90 / 40 minute routine does NOT include breakfast time.

And I like to feel good in the morning so I do spend around an hour for my morning routine, not for any one at college, but myself.

My routine takes a lot longer than it used to also.
It takes me about 5 minutes to stumble to the bathroom and go to the bathroom and whatnot. Then it takes 15 or 20 minutes to shower–sometimes if I’m lucky I can shower in 10 minutes. I’m usually too tired to do that fast though! It then takes me about 10 minutes to dry off and brush out my hair (it’s really long). 5 minutes to do things like brushing my teeth and putting in my contacts. 5 minutes or less to get dressed assuming I know exactly what I’m wearing. Then 5 to 10 minutes to dry my hair. I used to do makeup too which took about 10 minutes, but cut that out since I just get all sweaty and gross at my job anyway!
I can’t imagine how long it would take me if I decided to fix my hair everyday too.
I always get up 1 1/2–2 hours before leaving just to allow extra time in case something goes wrong.

I think that’s what happens, you grow up and then care.

My routine usually isGet up.Brush teeth and face (5 min.)Shower (15 min.)Clothe and do hair (15 min.)Go online (5-10 min.)
It’s good to look decent to class. I dislike it when I see people that look like they roll out of bed and smell like it too.

Takes me about 20-30 minutes. Usually the getting dressed/choosing outfit part is what takes most of the time.

I would love to take a long time to get ready… but I like to sleep more. hahaha USUALLY, it takes me 15 mins to get dressed, 1 min to put eye liner on… if i want to put make up it takes 10mins… seriously and I use bare essentials.  I usually don’t do anything to my hair (its naturally straight) and yeah. half an hour to get ready in the morning.  45 mins if i take a shower. 

lol there’s two versions. Slacker Version, Otherwise known as Waking Up With a Test in Two Hours: wake up 15 minutes before go time. bathroom to wash face, brush teeth. hair goes up in ponytail with an attempt to tie down the strays with bobby pins. hoodie, jeans, uggs, go time.

no makeup, no primping, no nothing. I spend the rest of the Slacker Version day feeling like a grease monkey with a splotchy face and feeling very not put together.

I’m So Well Rested I’ll Put An Effort In! Version: wake up an hour and a half before go time. take a 15-20 minute shower (varies, but I always shave underarms). apply cream, blowdry hair, flatiron hair, apply cream=30 minutes. with 30 mins left, I pick out a sweater and jeans and uggs (yes, my wardrobe is thrilling), and iron usually at least one thing, so 15. makeup takes under five minutes- foundation, blush, chapstick, gloss, mascara. three minutes devoted to trying to get my bangs to stay on one side evenly. probably 2 minutes daily spent listening to the rest of whatever song I’ve played on the radio. then, go time.

I don’t think I’m high maintenance…it’s just the hair. if I don’t do one of the steps, it frizzes out and gets dry and puffy.

Depends on where I’m going/who I’m seeing *shrugs* Everyone that sees me after “trying” notices that it’s like a full 180 flip from my usual-everyday-not-trying look, lol. Not sure what that really says about me!

For real? It takes me almost THREE HOURS to get ready in the morning. I wake up for school at 4:30….

I take my shower at night, so I can generally get ready in 30 minutes, including breakfast and getting my school stuff together. I just brush my teeth, brush my hair, get dressed, wash my face, eat breakfast (while getting online), and then I’m done. So I guess that would be on the low maintenance side?

My morning routine consists of:
Hitting the snooze maybe 10 times (1 hour if I’m really tired, 20 minutes if I’m not, instantly if I’m in a hurry. I just can’t bring myself to leave a warmed bed..). Wash face, etc. (<5 min). Getting dressed (<5 mins). Hair (5 secs.My hair always behaves, so that really cuts down time. If it doesn’t, on goes the hair tie!). Breakfast (deciding takes maybe 5 minutes, preparing/eating is maybe 15). Showers are done the night before just as a safety if I wake up super late!

I can get this all done within 30 minutes if I had to. 15 minutes even if I was in a hurry (ie. exam in first block) but that includes bringing breakfast with me and eating it during the exam…

I think I’m relatively low maintenance since I can get up instantly and go if I had to. =)

first year of college, it would take an hour to get ready, now its my second year and dont care much about looking good, i cut my time into 35 mins.  takes me like 10 mins to put on makeup 10 mins on to pick an outfit and 10 mins in the bathroom.  just because you want to look good and well kept, doesn’t mean you are high maintenance.  I think people should take some time in the morning to look good for the day and for most, people look better with makeup. keep up what you doinggg!

i take about 15 min. to get ready. haha. 

On a quick day it takes me about an hour.  bleh…call it what you want, im still cool!

Glad to find lovelyish here, as a recent addition to xanga… ryq – it depends. Overall I am slightly faster in the morning than some other gals. On average it takes me abour 30-40min. I’m starting to do more in the mornings, esp. as I evolve to a more senior role (project mgt), so on meeting days (and more often) it can take about an hour.

My routine used to be very quick, then I discovered proper skin care, and the difference it really makes- washing, exfoliating, medicating, and moisturizing added a good ten minutes.
Then I discovered that I had eczema, and I had to add medicating, moisturizing, and waiting for moisturizer to dry enough to put on clothes- that adds about 15 minutes.
Honestly, most of my morning routine is taken up by maintaining skin conditions, and it’s so annoying to me. :/

snooze.

get up, wash hands, put on contact lens.

shower.

moisturise.

leave in conditioner.

make up.

get dressed.

blow dry hair.

last check.

out of the house.

total: 1.5 hours. (bulk of it to blow drying hair)

heh.

I get up at least one hour before I have to leave. It’s also because I don’t want to look like falling out of bed a minute ago. I also hate to hurry in the morning.

My morning routine is all out of whack.

It takes me 25 mins. to get out of bed. I then take a shower, wash my face, and brush my teeth all in between shampooing and conditioning (15 mins) Apply Make-Up (5 mins) then hunt for clothes (10 mins)

depending on how long it takes me to get out of the shower i normally dont take that long and i always have my hair air-dry..and i dont know if thats bad or not but sometimes in the winter if it gets cold enough i find that that my hair would actually become somewhat like icicles >.<

I shower and pick my clothing the night before, it’s less rush and stress.

let’s see….

my fastest time was actually last semester…
7:40–wake up, bathroom, wash face (skip brushing teeth; it’s not necessary anyways), contacts
7: 45–put on jacket, change if necessary (i sometimes wear my school clothes as pjs to cut down on morning time), lotion
7:47–grab prepacked lunch and breakfast
7:49–grab backpack and leave
on the walk to school–tie up hair, eat breakfast (also in class)

I agree with your take on professors’ impressions: if you’re not taking your education seriously, why should he/ she?

You’re totally not high-maintenance.  You’ve got a good balance of hygiene and upkeep of appearance.  Very similar to my routine, actually.

It takes ten minutes for me to brush my teeth, wash my face, and get my coffee.
[I shower in the evenings] Takes fifteen minutes to straighten my hair and get dressed.
Then prolly ten minutes scrambling around trying to find everything I need for the day.
And off to school I go.

Haha, i take about the same amount of time- around 45 minutes for me. 
So i guess that makes me high-maintenance too.
Its so hard for me to find enough time in the mornings to make coffee and breakfast before I leave. 

well, my slacker version is:
jump out of bed, after stalling; change really fast; brush teeth; put mascara on; brush hair quickly; get coffee; hope i have everything; leave. probably about 15 minutes.

& if i decide to get up early..
get out of bed; wash face; brush teeth; do makeup (curl lashes, mascara, lip balm, gloss); change clothes; either straighten hair or put it up; get coffee; make sure i have everything; leave. somewhere around 30 minutes.

pretty low maintenance, i guess.

Used to take 15 minutes..but let’s see..

first alarm at 7:45, second alarm at 7:50, but it doesnt really make a difference since I get out of bed at like 8 anyway.
Waking up/stumbling around (washroom included) – around 20 – 25 minutes LOL if you count the first two alarms..
Changing – depends..around 10 minutes?
Brush hair and teeth/wash face/make up – 12 – 15 minutes, for make up I only use pencil eyeliner, so it doesn’t take too long (around 6 minutes since I use my makeup remover pen and q-tips to get rid of excess liner)
30 – 40 minutes in total.

i CAN NEVER skip shower. i feel all “ew” with myself LOL
first thing is same with you hit snooze – takes 5-10 min. to finally wake up.
turn on pc – few seconds
shower – 15 min.
brush/moisturize/lotion – 10 min.
dress up – 5 min.
go on pc/check mail/weather/etc. – 5 min.
put on makeup [depending whether on im just going for the liner-mascara-lipgloss or foundation-concealer-liner-shadow-blush-mascara-lipgloss look...] roughly 20 min. -___-”
brush/blow-dry/straighten hair – 20 min.
finishing touches [accessories, shoes, etc] – 5 min.
yup it takes me more than an hour 1/2 to “prepare” myself for the day.
plus breakfast and driving to school… i seriously wonder how i can put up with this every morning TT____TT

Wake up, shower and brush teeth (I brush my teeth in the shower),  moisturize, put on clothes, run to class!

My morning routine basically goes like this:
Wake up : Less than 5 mins.
Eat breakfast while talking to my (marine) boyfriend : Roughly 20mins.
Shower : 15mins.
Put on attire : 5mins.
Make-up : 20mins.
Hair : 10mins.

So basically 1 hr. , 15 mins.
