I like breakfast but I sometimes find it’s a choice between food prep and getting my hair and make-up and clothes ready. Any tips on how to strike a balance?

For me I was suffering to do both , but I tried to prepare my breakfast the night before for example I cut the cucumber , I make my cheese sandwich ,and finally I boil 2 eggs . Then I put them all in refrigerator, in the morning I only have to put the eggs and the sandwich in the microwave and at that time I make a cup of tea 💛✨ I hope it was useful for you fabulous one 🔆💛

What helps me most is to prepare as much things as possible before I go to sleep in the evening. Try to prepare food in the evening, or at least part of it, so you have more time in the morning. Same with the clothes – choose what you are going to wear in the evening and put every piece of your outfit at one place. It seems that it only saves a minute or two of your morning time, but I feel that I am also less stressed when I do not have to make these little decisions in the morning. Instead I can sit and eat some good breakfast. 🙂

I cannot do without breakfast in the morning. It is the fuel to my day. So I make a breakfast menu on every sunday and stick it to my refrigerator. I understand that it is really hard to have an elaborate breakfast in the morning, so I prefer keeping it simple and nutritious. Options like egg whites with whole wheat toast or cereals are easy and healthy. Hope this helps.

You can always choose your clothes in the evening,before going to bed. Also you can think of what do you want to eat for breakfast in the evening so you don’t spare time for that in the morning. You can go to the market and get the things you need for breakfast and so you’re ready. Try to eat breakfast first and then do your hair and make up. You don’t need to prep a lot of things to eat in the morning but choose those that are healthy and don’t take you too much time to prep. Hope this helps 🙂

Get your clothes ready the night before and skip the make-up. I’m sure you’re beautiful as you are! You can also batch cook meals and pre-prepare breakfast and lunches the night before or at the weekend and keep them in the fridge

How about some Overnight-Oats with fruit? Prep it in the evening and just take it out of the fridge the next morning. Saves time and you can focus on hair and makeup.

I usually wake up a little early in the mornings. I start my day at 7:55 so I wake up at 6:30. I do that so that I can get my morning routine in (eating breakfast, getting dressed etc.) as well as a light workout! I’m not saying to wake up at 6:30 in the morning, but even waking up just 15 minutes earlier can make a huge difference. I hope this tip helps!

I selected a healthy powder drink, so my husband prepared it for me. 😊 Sometimes, we will buy a breakfast set of sandwich 🥪 with drink for saving time. 😊

I think that in order to strike a balance between these "activities" you need to try to prepare your breakfast before sleeping or while you’re cooking dinner. This way, when you wake up in the morning, you have your breakfast ready to be eaten! Another way is to wash you hair in the evening and style it in a way that won’t ruin it, for example a loose ponytail. Moreover, you can decide what to wear the night before, take your clothes out of your wardrobe and place them o in a visible spot (a chair or a sofa), so you won’t forget that you had already chosen your outfit and won’t waste time trying to figure out how to dress up! Hope this will help yo!
