Stressed Out Style

Hi guys!


Do you ever have days when you are running late, have a million things to do (ok, maybe a little bit less), and are super stressed from the get-go?


Today is one of those days. 


I just wanted to do a quick post about how I minimize one stressor by making sure I look and feel good about myself. It’s one of those you look good, so you feel good, so you can do good scenarios. 


Let’s get right into it


First off, I like to take a small amount of time in the morning to do my hair so that it is under control. If I can get my hair situated, I already feel a little bit better. 

I use It’s a 10 Leave-In product all over my hair for shine and as a heat protectant and follow with Dove Oxygen Moisture Root Lift Spray in the roots for added volume.

This for me generally involved a quick shower and blow dry. I’m not talking anything fancy. I spray some leave-in product and a root lifting spray then hit it with the blow dryer. Nothing with a round brush and what not, I just try to get the area around my face and roots dry so that cowlicks don’t overtake my face.

All I need for a quick and put together makeup look are these six products

Makeup is also super simple. I will do a full base of foundation, concealer and powder because I like pretending that I have great skin. Eyes for me are secondary. I’ll use a little eyeliner and mascara and be done.

My three favorite “feel happy” lipsticks are Rimmel Moisture Renew in 644 Let’s Get Naked, Revlon Balmstain in 040 Rendezvous and 045 Romantic

These types of days require a special lipstick. There is something about having lipstick on that lifts my spirits. Therefore, I consider it a must!

I love this striped French Connection dress or this classic black romper from TJ Maxx paired with Frye sandals for running around town. Both are comfortable combinations with a classic style look



As far as clothing goes, I always have a go-to in-a-pinch outfit. Because it is summer, I always fall back on rompers and dresses. I like to think that simplicity is key! 



Do you have a plan from stressful days?
