Always Polished, All The Time

Plan Ahead

The best way to always look polished is to plan your outfit and pack your purse the night before. Mornings will feel much easier when you don't have to worry about what to wear or leaving important items behind.

Eat Breakfast

Waking up a few minutes early for a morning meal will change the flow of your entire day. You can use this time to relax before the day gets busy, and you won't feel the urge to binge on snacks before lunch.

Pack An Emergency Kit

Emergencies happen. Make sure to have a small arsenal of get-out-of-jail-free cards in your purse. Items like Band-Aids for blisters, oil-blotting sheets, mints, safety pins and other essentials will help you look pulled together no matter what the day throws at you. Pack them into a small pouch and toss it in your bag when you switch purses.

Reapply Your Makeup

Your day will get busy, but take a couple of minutes to refresh after lunch. Reapply your lipstick, spritz a face mist, run a comb through your hair and check your teeth. Trust us, you'll feel primed to tackle the rest of your day, and you'll look fabulous doing it.
