If you're anything like me, getting out of the house can be a real hassle. Changing your outfit more than once, eating your breakfast in the car because you just can't find the time...yeah, that's me. 

Here are my easy morning hacks to getting out of the house quicker!

If you're into beauty like me, doing your makeup can take up a good part of your routine. This is why I always make sure to keep my makeup organized -- so I'm not searching for my eyeliner for 10 minutes or forgetting my favorite lipgloss in another purse!

I have to use a makeup organizer. Whether you have a ton of makeup, or a little but it of product that you want to keep organized, here's a selection of go-to makeup organizers to fit your needs.

For me personally, it's important to take a break from the hair drying. I have a lot of fine hair that can easily break with too much touching and heating (hence my love of volume-boosting products, like this all-natural vegan mousse) so I prefer to let my hair air dry 1-2 times a week, especially in the summer. If you absolutely have to dry and/or style your hair, invest in a blow dry that is high watt (with ionic capabilities) so you can dry it faster. I love the Martino hair dryer pictured below, because it cuts down on drying time, while smoothing your hair.

This probably seems self-explanatory, but if you're as into getting dressed up as I am, you probably need some extra time to pick out your outfit. This is why I suggest picking out your clothes the night before. If you know you're going to stop at the gym, be sure to also pack out your workout clothes in your gym bag, along with whatever other essentials you might need. (Here is my list of gym bag essentials.) 

If you're making one of our powerhouse smoothies, I suggest making it the night before to shave off some extra time from your morning routine. (If you're not into a smoothie, there are a lot of other options you have that you can refrigerate overnight -- like this amazingly delicious and simple chia pudding.) I honestly couldn't live without my Magic Bullet Nutribullet. If you don't have one, now's the time to invest, because the one below is currently on sale for only $49.99!

So, I love make-up, even though my busy, day-to-day routine doesn't allow me to apply a lot of it.  In fact, during the summer, I entirely avoid wearing face makeup during the day -- either because I'm running around the city and catching some sun or about to embark on a work out -- so I don't want to chance clogging my pores! But, when I've finally finished with my every-day errands, I so look forward to taking the time to sit at my vanity, or even prop my toiletries on the Equinox bathroom counter [it's actually way nicer than my vanity], and apply my "face." For most of you that follow me on social media, especially SnapChat [@thecleanmethod], you know  my usual makeup routine.  [When I'm wearing next to none, I smudge on a bit of bright lipstick, pictured above, and concealer under my eyes.] When I finally do apply more makeup - whether it's for dinner out or just cooking at home with the guy -- I add foundation and bronzer. 

To apply my facial makeup, I absolutely love using Chrislie's Measurable Difference 6-Piece Makeup Brush Set. This collection - which  includes a powder brush, eyeshadow brush, angled nose contouring brush, eyeliner brush, and eyebrow brush comb - allows me to apply my potions like a pro, to achieve that natural look, even with makeup,  that I'm always looking to achieve.  Of all the brushes included in the set, I absolutely adore the angled nose contouring brush; I recently realized the power of contouring like Kim K and now use it to make my nose appear thinner and more defined. When I have a few extra minutes, I'll use the eyebrow brush comb, to comb up my brows, like Queen Bey. I mean, just look at how beautiful hers are.
