Even if you’re making your coffee at home, invest in a thermos cup so you can make it to go, or buy yummy cold brews in advance from Oriole or supermarket Starbucks frappuccinos so you don’t have to spend precious minutes queuing for your morning brew!

Smoothies are excellent breakfast plans when you’re in a hurry. They’re yummy and can be made in 5 minutes, just make sure to pick up the ingredients the night before or a couple of days in advance so you can bang it all in and blend to go!

If you’re super organised, wash cut and freeze your fruit and veg the weekend before so you can just pop it in and go!

If you take the time once a week to use a purifying mask and keep a good skincare regime (especially in the evening as your skin regenerates yourself overnight as you sleep) you’ll spend a lot less time covering up blemishes and applying makeup in the morning, hey, maybe you can forgo it altogether (if you’re that blessed, lucky you)!

So many beauty products can be used for more than what they’re intended for, case in point, Jessica Alba often speaks about how she uses her cream blush as a dab-on lipstick as well, the matching flush is super pretty too! If you just add a slick of mascara, you’ll look fresh and polished as can be.

Hand or standing steamers are amazing, there’s a reason why they’re fashion’s secret weapon. No need to pull out your ironing board and they get out creases in an instant, they’re actually a better investment than an iron and board full stop!

Purse organisers are amazing inventions which sit inside any bag with your essentials (e.g keys, wallet, phone, lipstick) and can be easily lifted in and out of any bag you use!

This is an essential if you’re a serial bag changer and don’t use the same bag for everyday! A roomy makeup bag  also works beautifully. These are essentials for those of you who don’t want to end up locked out of your apartment or without your phone due to your serial bag-changing habits.
