Happy Friday friends! Today I want to talk about those mornings where you need to get ready to leave in a hot minute. Maybe you slept through your alarm and woke up late, or maybe you’re just like me and you lay in bed on Instagram for 15 (or 20, or 35…) minutes. Whatever the scenario, we’ve all had those mornings where we need to be up and out the door in 15 minutes or less. That’s why I’ve partnered up with HerStyler to show you how I get myself together with this 15 minute summer morning routine 🙂

How to Get Out the Door in 15 Minutes or Less
There are 3 things I do at night that help me be successful with my 15 minute summer morning routine.
#1 – Set out your clothes
Setting out your clothes the night before saves so much time in the morning. I don’t know what it is about mornings, but they make it that much harder to pick out an outfit. Maybe I’m just not awake until I have my coffee, but it always takes me at least 5 minutes (and usually more like 10 or 15) to pick out my outfit. That’s why setting it out the night before is key for me.
#2 – Pack your lunch
Along with setting out my clothes, I also pack my lunch the night before. This is just a tedious task that I really don’t need to do in the morning. Plus, it saves me from deciding I don’t have enough time to actually do it in the morning and buying lunch that day! ***Extra tip: get your coffee ready to go as well! Whether it’s setting the timer for the coffee maker, or just loading up the French press, it will save you a few of those precious minutes in the morning.
#3 – Shower
I get it, some people are morning shower people (me included!). But showering at night saves more time than the previous two tips combined! You can easily spend 20 minutes in the morning washing and drying your hair, so doing it at night’s a real life saver.
Summer Morning Routine
Doing those three things at night really help me to be able to get ready and out the door in the morning in 15 minutes. Instead of worrying about showering, what I’m wearing, and what I’m eating, I can just focus on getting myself together. I like to set my alarm 15 minutes before I actually have to get up, that way I have time to lay in bed and check my e-mail and Instagram. Then, when it’s actually time to get up, all I have to do in the bathroom is wash my face and do my hair.
For my hair, I like to use my HerStyler Straight Brush Pro. This bad boy is a freaking lifesaver! It literally takes me 2 minutes in the morning to do my hair with the Straight Brush Pro #hallelujah. I just turn it on and it heats up to 160 degrees really quickly (it can actually go up to 220 for those of you with thicker/curlier hair). Then I section my hair in to two parts and just start brushing. It really is that simple!
What I really love about my HerStyler Straight Brush Pro is that I get straight hair without the damage. The silicon brush glides through my hair and makes it feel soft, silky, and hydrated. If you are someone who suffers from over-dry or damaged hair, I also recommend adding some of the HerStyler Heat Protective Straightening Cream. Just add a small amount to damp hair and either blow or air dry (I prefer to air dry overnight). This will help protect your hair against heat damage, which is great for me in the summertime!
I hope these tips give you some ideas on how you can cut down your time in the morning. For me, it also helps to cut down on the stress! Also, I love that I can use my HerStyler to do my hair in under 5 minutes, especially since I’ve been wearing it straight lately. There’s really nothing better than having shiny, healthy looking hair in the summer, you know? I love that I can achieve that super easily with the HerStyler Straight Brush Pro!
What’s your summer morning routine? Have you tried these products? Let me know in the comments!
xo,
B
Oh I want to try this product!
It’s pretty cool! Thanks for reading 🙂
I’ve always wanted to know if these things work! It looks like they work perfectly! That’s awesome and so low maintenance. Love it!
Yep it totally works! Harder with short hair, but I can’t wait to use it more when my hair grows out!
Ugh I need to implement some of these tips (ha!) I am terrible at having everything together and often find myself a scrambled mess in the morning! I never would have though about laying out an outfit the night before, I may have to lay a couple as I tend to change my mind, but still it would save me having to piece them together!!
Thanks for reading Melissa! It’s hard for me to do too, but when I do, I feel so good about myself haha!
I love this blog!! Keep It Up.
Thanks so much Jaelynn!!
Perfect way to achieve your desired hair
Thank you Deborah!
What takes up the most time for me is definitely my outfit! Even when trying to set it out the night before it takes forever assembling a cute outfit for me because I am so indecisive! Normally I don’t do much with my hair so I have a little extra time because of that.
You know, sometimes I find that picking out an outfit as quick as I can is the best way haha! I feel like I always look cuter and more effortless when I actually don’t put a lot of effort in to picking out what I’m wearing 🙂 Thanks for readying Melanie!
Great morning routine, I think I want to try it sometime❤️
Thank you Nadine 🙂 Hope it helps!
I have extensions so my hair takes forever now. This does seem like it might reduce my time though.
Hmm I don’t know how it would work on extensions, I’e never had them! I bet you could check their website and submit a question though!
I’d like to get ready in 15 minutes! 🙂
Every woman’s dream haha!
Every womans dream to get up and out the door more quckly.
Haha seriously!
It looks like it works magic in your hair. I have long hair that always need to be brushed and straightened every morning. I would love too own this.
I bet it would work great for you Michelle! I definitely think it works best with longer hair.
I wanna try one of those brushes I have curly hair but like to change things up so I straighten my hair but takes about a hour 15 min that would be so awesome.
I would be really interested to hear how it works for you! If you try it, make sure you hold your hair taught so the brush can get the maximum amount of contact for straightening!
Some great tips, I love the HerStyler Straight Brush Pro sure would help with my hair in the morning.
Yay thanks for reading Sharon! <3
I think this is really cool and helpful to be a quick way of getting ready.
Thank you Angelica!
Wow great things I need to do this so I can get out the door without looking like I just got mowed over! Thank you for sharing.
Hahah good luck girl, I hope this helps! I definitely have those “yes I did wake up like this (unfortunately) days!”
Do blow dry my hair and the styling cream sounds wonderful! Any tips to help me get out the door faster are appreciated!
Glad this was helpful Debbie, thanks for reading!
Great quick routine! I’m definitely going to give this a try!
Yay! Hope it works for you, let me know what you think!
I love saving time.
Me too! 😛
I need that straightener brush!
It’s super helpful and easy!
less likely to burn your hair with a straightener brush
Yes absolutely! One of the perks in my opinion 🙂
I need thah, it looks so easy!!!!
Super easy! xo
wow, looks fab!
Thanks Ruth!
Love the advice and this product looks amazing. This could really help me save more time in my early morning routines.
Yay! I hope it helps Jill, thanks for reading!
The results of the brush don’t seem very good. Makes the hair look unbrushed…coukd be hownits styled also.
Hey Whitney, thanks for your comment! I definitely did not put much effort in to styling my hair, I was just trying to show that it’s a quick and easy way to brush and straighten your hair at the same time 🙂 I’ll have to do a repeat when my hair is longer, as it does work much better with long hair!
With soon to having 2 babies under 2, this quick and painless routine would be lifesaving for me..thank you for the tips!
Aw sounds like you have a houseful! I hope it helps girl!
I’ll try these tips. I’m always late for every thing. No matter how early I try to wake up or leave, I always end up late because I shower in the mornings and always take forever to pick out something to wear. Thanks for the tips!
I hope they help Jennifer 🙂 xoxo
I want to try this!
You totally should! Let me know if you do, I’m interested to hear how it works for you!
Great tips and tricks
Thank you Cynthia!
Wow this is so cool! Keep posting girl! 🙂
Thank you so much Dorene!
I try to do as little to my hair as possible, meaning blow drying. I let my hair air dry for a while so I only have to use the blow dryer for a few minutes, less damage to my hair. Sometimes I curl it too.
That’s really smart, blow drying can really damage your hair. I typically let my hair air dry for that reason, but it’s so frizzy that having a tool that straightens without damage is super helpful!
Yasss! To showering at night! It’s such a time saver! Love it!
Agreed! Thanks for reading Mayra!
I’ll be trying it. It will be nice on my thick amd damaged hair.
Oh this looks so neat, i have always wanted to give this a try.
I’m curious to try one of these brushes! You’re right…we’ve all been rushing out the door…I did it yesterday morning at top rate speed! 😉
Very pretty and curious about these types of brushes I am seeing. I have curly hair so it’s probably to hard to actually brush through my hair with this.
My morning routine i wake up shower get baby.fed and changed get ready for the day do hair then go about.my.day no i have not.tryed the procducts
I need this in my life! I feel like I never have time to get ready.
This looks amazing!
Thank you for these great tips 🙂
My morning routine and simple I get up I wash my face I put on cover up that I put on the Mascara and blush, Sometimes I use a bronzer and highlighter just for some definition!!! With my hair are usually don’t last night that much only like 2/3 times a week and I let it air dry and mostly at night so in the morning I just straighten it. I do have a straightening brush, not this one biut something similar and I have used it, I just prefer my straightener since I have frizzy wavy hair and I like it straight with a little curl on the bottom, that’s my go to look!! I curl my hair for special occasions!! I like your tips on how to get ready quicker in the morning!! Having two kids I have learned to cut my routine down to a minimum!!
I 100% agree on your tips especially picking out what to wear the night before and showering, though I do prefer a morning shower. I have seen these products and wondered how they performed. You have answered my question and it looks like they perform well.
You have such a BEAUTIFUL smile…..
Love it
My summer routine always consisted of me swimming with the kids. SO I stayed really busy.
Love this
Yes, I always pack my lunch the day before for work and then I grab and go and get there on time.
Two peas in a pod girl 🙂
I would love to give this a try i want a better hair product than what i use and this looks like a product to give a try.
Thank you so much for this. I live your blog!!!
Aw thank you so much Stephanie!
I have such curly hair that I would love to try the HerStyler Straight Brush Pro. It looks amazing.
If you try it, let me know what you think!!
Great blog post thank you for sharing
Thanks Ashley!
Love this!
<3 Thanks!
Looks great! I save time by putting gel in my hair and letting my hair dry naturally.
I could really use this. I have, excuse the spelling, alopeca arete. My hair falls out in clumps. It grows back, but is very thin. Thanks for the chance!
Looks awesome!
I need to try this! Looks like it really works. I always used to lay out my outfit the night before when I was working…now that I’m retired not so much
Hopefully, it works on my hair, makes it seems to easy
This is so awesome! Love the finished results!
My fine, long hair needs an overhaul. Great products!
This is an awesome idea. Anything to save time.
I have one and use a brush to press against. Never thought to hold the ends of Hair. Thanks.
I haven’t tried any of these products but I’d love to get my hands on the Straight Brush.
Thank you for great tips,I like the straightening brush.
Wow,Thanks for such a wonderful read,it was extremely helpful.
These are great hair straightening brushes!
The BEST trick to get ready faster in the morning is so simple! I can’t believe I had to wait 30 years to find out this wonder little trick! If you have long hair, and you sleep with your hair AWAY from your face to avoid acne, etc., take some dry shampoo, and brush your hair into a long ponytail, upside down. Then, turn that into a bun and use something to hold it in place. I cut up old panty hoses for pony tail holders, and they’re great! No snags or hair damage. AnyWAY, once you’ve got your hair brushed up in a bun with dry shampoo, go to sleep, and sweet dreams! When you wake up in the morning, take your hair down and brush it out. Shake, and marvel over how AHmazing your hair looks! Better than a blow out! And SO much better than spending 30 minutes to hours in the shower in the AM! I want my coffee!
Wow girl, I’m totally gonna have to try this when my hair is long enough to put in to a bun, thanks for sharing!
I actually get ready in the morning more quickly than anyone I know. I’m involved in animal rescue, so most mornings it’s just a quick wash of my face, some lotion on it, and a brush through my hair. I do need to start wearing more makeup again. Thanks for the tips!
I have been wondering how the brush would work on shorter hair and now I know. I love it. Is it very heavy?
It’s about the same weight as your typical curling iron 🙂
I would love to try this. It would be great for taming my frizzy hair.
I would love that! My hair is fine.
Love the product–hoping to get.
I would love to have a styling brush but I wonder if they work on thick hair?
This is a great way to get ready fast
A good tool to get the hair looking good!
I’m getting a straightener for my birthday this weekend, I can’t wait!
a real time saver. You look lovely. My birthday is on the 1st this would be a nice gift ( wink). Thank you for the giveaway opportunity.
I would love to try a straightening comb. They seem like they would be so cool.
Those are some easy time saving tips that most everyone can implement so they make it to work on time. Once you have a child or multiple children, you really have no choice but to prepare as much as you possibly can the night before unless you are one of those cheerful “morning people”. You know the ones who get up and do 2 loads of laundry before getting the kids up, fix a huge breakfast every morning and clean the kitchen and make up all the beds before leaving the house. I’m a night owl, so I had to do everything I could the night before. My hair is baby fine and if I didn’t wash and dry it in the morning, it was either flat or all over the place. Messy buns, braids and ponytails saved me because those styles actually do better if you don’t wash your hair that day. I went from a once a day shampoo person to a 3 times a week shampoo person with the help of certain hairstyles and dry shampoo. That saved me so much time that I got the kids to school on time and got to work a few minutes early.
Thank you for the great information.
Sometimes I think it has to be the person can move fast in the mornings. My sister can get up, shower dressed, makeup etc in under 20 minutes from time alarm goes off. Me I like a relaxed start to my day no hurry just going with the flow
That brush would make my life a whole lot easier!
I haven’t tried this product but would love to. Air dry and go.
The Straight Brush Pro looks great!
i love to try this brush but more so the hair shampoo and conditioner i think it would be something really grate to try
These are great tips! I have been about styling brushes.
Curious 🙂
Good ideas! I have yet tried the HerStyler Straight Brush Pro or the HerStyler Heat Protective Straightening Cream. They seem to work really well.
Great post! I need that heated brush! I would definitely require less time to get ready.
I need these because I use oxygen or cpap most of day and it leaves waves in my hair.
Great tips and my hair is always a kinky mess in the mornings and I have to actually wash it to make it straight again!
This is new to me but I’m excited about it. My girls love to straighten their hair and I worry about the damage it does. Definitely on the Christmas list to buy now!
Thanks for the tips to get out the door faster.
Great advice!
I like learning about the brush I have not used one but would love too!
