Whether or not I have to wash my hair
If my eyeliner decides to behave or fight against me
My hair. Depending on how tidy and how clean it is after waking up I have to either include it while showering and/or try to tame it like a wild beast without looking like a cow licked it.
Clothing was also an issue in the past, but I found a solution: every night before sleeping I think about what I’m gonna wear the next day, so that I know exactly what to take from the wardrobe and don’t waste any time hesitating. Also, it helps me disconnect when being concerned about any problem hindering my sleep (I share in case it might help anyone else).
Whether I think I will be having sex with any of the people I’m seeing that night
The location and people I’ll be with
My makeup setting well or my outfit coordinating or both
If I had advanced notice or not.
however long I have and wherever I’m going
Hair!!! Lipstick teeth!!
Where I’m going and what I’m doing.
If I’ve already taken off my bra, it’s going to take a lot of time to motivate myself to get ready to leave the house.
What I’m going to have for breakfast
Fighting with my hair
Where I’m going. I can get ready for work in 20 minutes but if was going out for a few drinks I’d like at least 90 minutes
How many times I’m interrupted, it’s the most obnoxious thing. Just let me jam to my music and get ready please. I will be on time if you don’t interrupt me. I promise.
If I have an outfit picked out beforehand
If I really want to go or not.
How long I take in the shower + which makeup look I’m going for that day
If someone can watch my baby while i get ready lol
Showering and hair
where im going or who the ppl ima be seeing are lol

Whether my hair decides to cooperate or not
My will power
If I have to also get my toddler ready
If it’s cold out and I have to dry my hair after a shower, it takes about 10 minutes more. Then if I’m getting dressed up nice for a wedding, special dinner, or other event. I’ll straighten my hair for those things usually. Or I’ll curl it a bit different than my natural style. Everything else is about the same. 🤷🏻♀️😂 I can get completely ready (showered, dressed, makeup) in less than 20 minutes.
If I’m curling my hair and doing fancier makeup, which takes an extra 20 minutes. Usually my get-ready routine takes about 10 minutes, because I don’t shower before I go out.
My hair mostly. I have ridiculously long hair so it takes awhile to dry even with a hairdryer. How it’s styled can add more time too. If I’m letting my waves do their thing no extra time is needed. Any straightening or curling will add time though.
Beyond that, it’s outfit choice. Gotta make sure it looks good but is also comfortable depending on what I’m doing. If I’m walking a lot, I don’t want cute sandals or something, or I’m risking blisters.
What time I get out of bed.
If we’re going as a family I have to make sure everyone else is ready first….then it’s the shower, am I wearing a dress then I have to shave, devastation 😂
Whether I need to shower and wash my hair. I don’t do my make up or shave anymore, so a lot of the previous going out prep has just completely fallen away. So if my hair’s still good I’m out of the house in like 5 minutes now. If I have to wash my hair it’s like 45-60 minutes in the summer and 2h in the winter.
If the event will be me wearing heels.
Anxiety
How my clothes are fitting. If I’m feeling bloated or I’ve gained weight, it can take me forever to find an outfit that I feel good in.
If I have to shave my legs.
If I’m going to be wearing my hair down, or up
[removed]
How my hair’s behaving. If it’s a good hair day, I’m out the door fast.
The outfit. If I can pick one without overthinking, I’m set.
Makeup. Sometimes it’s quick, sometimes it’s a whole masterpiece.
If I’m in need of a shower. Which means additional time for hair to dry.
Whether or not my hair needs to look nice or if I’ll be OK with just pulling it up in a messy bun.
Whether my toddler decides to cooperate
If I need to iron
It really depends where I’m going. If it’s simply to work or casually running and errand I get dressed fairly quickly but for something more such as going out with friends or date night I take way longer.
