How to Get Back Your Precious Time in the Mornings by Ximena Bravo

Mornings can feel like a race before the race—emails, meals, meetings, kids. Beauty routines are often the first thing sacrificed. But what if your morning routine could work for you, not against you?

Time poverty and the feeling of always being rushed seem so common. But remember: that stress shows up on your face and it drains your energy.

Here’s the truth: you don’t need a 30-minute routine to look put together. You need a streamlined, intentional one.

Here’s how to reclaim your mornings:

Simplifying your beauty routine doesn’t mean lowering your standards. It means designing a system that fits your reality. You deserve to feel polished and powerful—even when you're short on time.

A polished look isn’t about vanity—it signals readiness. When you walk into a meeting looking fresh, you don’t need to prove you’re prepared. Your appearance does it for you.

So ask yourself: What’s one small shift I can make to reclaim my mornings without losing my edge?
