Time saving suggestions please

Not sure if these tips are any help?

When I get a pedicure I use the time in the chair on my phone to check emails and reply, message people , go on social media or even this site for a catch up, rather than just sitting there doing nothing.

When I do a face mask/ mud mask or sheet I use the 15 minutes to do the dishes, or relax and watch tv.

Hair mask or long conditioning, turn off shower and shave legs and pits while waiting, clean teeth then turn shower back on and rinse off.

Apply deodorant and while waiting for it to dry, apply body moisturiser or clean teeth or cleanse face, then get dressed.

I don't know how people heat-style their hair every morning! I always choose to spend longer in bed, but then I race around like a demon getting ready.

Hair masks: I use these when I'm having a lazy day at home or the night before I shampoo my hair. I brush through, then sleep with my hair in a plait & wash out the next morning. I do this at least once a week. Leave it for the weekend. Get up, apply hair mask, have brekky & a cuppa, maybe potter around, then jump in the shower.

Hair drying: I air-dry, but I wear a microfibre hair towel in a turban while I get dressed & do my skincare & makeup. It makes my hair dry much quicker. I often plait it while I'm walking to the bus stop.

Pedicures: I have a special dish to soak my feet in while I watch tv at night. I use pumice, then dry them. During an ad break, I go into the bathroom & trim my toenails while they're soft & wet. Back to the tv & paint my toenails. I do this about once a fortnight.

Nails: after dinner & dishes, with an empty bladder while watching the late news or movie. I want to leave at least half an hour before doing anything .manually, or going to bed.

Sheet masks: when I get into bed. After a while, I peel it off & leave it on the bedside drawers to deal with in the morning. Or, sometimes in the morning after a shower while I get dressed & put my hair up.

Face masks from a jar: anytime. - watching tv, on the computer, making dinner, vacuuming or other housework.

Epilate: Before IPL, I would epilate after a night shower. I HIGHLY recommend IPL or laser hair removal!

Nighttime skincare regimen: everything is in my bedside drawers. I get into bed & apply my facial oil, sometimes eye cream & nail oil.

Shampooing: I shampoo in the shower, then apply conditioner or hair mask. THEN I cleanse my face & shower my body. On the weekend, I turn off the water & have a scrub at any grout with an old toothbrush & dish brush I keep in there. I rinse out the conditioner/mask last.

Shower: I dry off in the shower, then spread my towel onto the DRY bathroom floor & step out onto it & dry my feet. I can't get over how wet the floor gets in other people's bathrooms!

Sunscreen: I apply before getting dressed, so I don't miss areas around my décolletage or back of my neck or get any on my top.

Makeup: I tailor my makeup to how much time I have. For a date, it'll be eyeshadow primer followed by two or three eyeshadows, buffed mineral powder foundation, lip liner & lippy, brow gel, a little highlighter & some blush under my chin to make my long face look shorter. But rush mornings, it's just tinted sunscreen & one shade of creme eyeshadow. Winged liquid eyeliner is my non-negotiable. I'll put my lippy on riding public transport, but I won't do my full makeup as some women do.

It's easier for me, being childless.

For me it's about prioritising and if possible multitasking.

I haven't been on BH lately because I have recently (1) bleached my hair and that needs a lot of maintenance like hair mask etc; and (2) developed a 10 step skincare routine which works beautifully for me and I have every intention to stick to. While I really enjoyed using the forum in the past, the more recent spams and glitches on the forum mean BH is bumped back in terms of how I prioritise my time (sorry BH), but I still do come on occasionally when I can afford to (as opposed to daily).

Most masks can be done while doing something else. E.g. I always do sheet mask and mediation together, or other face mask & hair mask while doing chores, checking emails etc. I use a scrub and body oil 2-in-1 in the shower (Endota Spa in a Jar)

Good luck in finding something works for you!
