Your favorite tips...

There are so many BRILLIANT tips here that I've gleaned from all my years running Style Workshops. Most of them have been contributed by the ladies coming to my classes. They're all great. Take what works for you and forget the rest.

What's your routine? Do you have any special tips that help you to save time in the morning? Please share them with us and I'll include them.

A. In the evening

Do as many jobs as you can, you'll be more effective and leave your mind clear for the new day.

1. Ensure the kitchen is clean and tidy; prepare an easy-to-serve breakfast (slow cooker porridge is a goody); and set the coffee machine.

2. Pack your lunch box with no chance of messing up your clean clothes.

3. If you take an evening bath wash your hair to save time in the morning and clean your face thoroughly. Invest in a good shampoo and conditioner, brushing and styling is so much easier. 

4. Select your outfit - if something is soiled or not ironed you have time to rethink or remedy. Color Analysis will enable you to plan a simple but harmonizing wardrobe. Ring the changes with accessories.

5. Get to bed on time allowing yourself a decent night's sleep.
