3 Tips to Getting Ready for a Last Minute Party

You are relaxing at home and minding your own business when you get a text from a good friend asking: Hey! Are you coming tonight?

Your mind races...you don’t have anything planned tonight, right? You check your calendar, nothing. But then, it hits you. You completely forgot that your good friend is throwing a party tonight and you said you’d be there. You’re free tonight and you can go, but there is one problem...you have to get ready fast and you’re CRUNCHED on time.

If you are like me, this has happened to you more than once in the past and will most likely happen again in the future. You don’t want to miss a friend’s party just because you won’t look or feel presentable. For tips and tricks on how to get ready fast for a last minute party, keep reading!

Use the Mobile Styles App

Mobile Styles is the perfect way to get ready for a party quickly without the added stress. Mobile Styles is an on-the-go health, beauty, and wellness app that allows its users to order manicures, haircuts, makeup services, and more with a tap of a button. When the user orders a service on the app, the providers will be at the place and time of your choosing. If you’re running late to that important party, I would 100% suggest using Mobile Styles. It takes away the added stress of rushing and allows you to look and feel your best.

Skip the Shower - Use Dry Shampoo

Okay, this step might sound a bit nasty or gross, but trust me, with the right dry shampoo your hair will look (and smell) wonderful. When you are in the biggest hurry, no one has time to wash their hair, especially if you have long hair. Investing in a dry shampoo will save your life when you’re running late for a meeting, school, or even a party. One of my favorite and inexpensive dry shampoos is Not Your Mother’s Dry Shampoo: Clean Freak. It’s only $2.99 at Ulta and makes your hair look like you just washed it.

Clothing: Sweet and Simple

If you’re like me, choosing an outfit takes forever. You want to look your best so you spend a great deal of time searching your closet for different pieces that will create the perfect outfit. In an ideal world, you can dedicate a large amount of time to generate a nice outfit, but today isn’t that day. When choosing in a hurry, keep it sweet and simple. Forget trying to find the right blouse that matches your new skirt. Pick a nice dress to wear instead. This way you are eliminating the process of trying to match different articles of clothing together.
