i already do the pre-dry stuff, it seemed obvious to me. Do other people try and blow dry their hair straight out of the shower?

I sleep with foam rollers sometime when I know that I have to get up early.

Nice tips on choosing a palette and easy to apply make up, although the sight of people applying make up in the car always terrifies me. LOL

I'm not sure that using hot rollers is a quick beauty tip... It takes me forever to get them all in! Maybe I just have too much hair.

Dry Shampoo?! going to add it to my shopping list.

I think hot rollers are going to be my next-favorite-tool. I hate using curling irons because they take an hour to use on my small amount of thin hair. D: I pretty much have to use a blowdryer or my hair is flat at the start, so no scrunching either.
