Back to School : One Week to Go

Quick Tip

Are you ready for the first day of school? It can either be a hectic morning, or you can be so organized, everything comes off without a hitch. That's why I'm giving you a lot of little things to spread over a week. That will ensure that your first day will be stressless... which is more important than you might guess. So take these suggestions to heart and have a great first day.

  • Pick out your outfit and then accessorize it a few days before school starts. Don't wait until the morning of the first day before putting everything together. That is just asking for trouble.

  • Head to the salon and get a trim or perhaps a brand new style and color. If you can't splurge now, when can you?

  • Give yourself a manicure and a pedicure. You might even want to treat yourself to a brand new shade of nail polish.

  • Practice your 5 Minute Makeup. See if you can trim a minute off your time. *5 Minute Makeup

  • Find your signature scent for this year. Here is a little trick... try combining 2 scents, but don't tell anyone what you did. It can be your little secret.
