I’m going to take a wild guess: If you’re feeling pressed for times these days, then you’re probably also cutting corners with your beauty routine. Am I right, or am I spot-on? Your calendar is filling up, and you’ve made working out three days a week a priority again, so we get it if your definition of doing your hair in the morning translates to brushing your hair up into a bun.
