... Excellent tips for getting up as late as humanly (or 'female-ly') possible...

1. Put out your clothes the night before. (duh)

2. Do everything you need to do in one room of the house before you move to the next room. This saves you the time you would otherwise spend going from bedroom to kitchen to bedroom to bathroom to kitchen to bedroom.... Get all your bedroom stuff done first so you don't have to waste time going back. (clever, I know)

3. The key: 1 minute hair. You might think this is impossible... it's not. There's this great invention called the pony tail. Also, messy hair is so in right now.

4. Say no to make-up. Also not impossible. Stop being vain, start being speedy. On a side-note, "breakfast before beauty".

 5. Eat easy breakfasts or breakfast-to-go. Cereal! Toast! No eggs and bacon! Leftovers! Fruit!

6. (Don't tell anyone, but brushing your teeth can be skipped if you have some mint gum in your car. Just be sure to brush them extra good the night before.)

7. Pack a lunch and/or your bag the night before. (again, duh)

8. Run.

9. I know. I'm a genius.
