Everyday brings different challenges no matter where you live or what you do. It can be easy to get wrapped up in the minutiae of day to day life. The best way to unwrap yourself from that stress is to focus on getting the most out of your life by organizing some things that you can control!

Getting a handle on organization can drastically improve your daily existence. Here are three tips to help you look and feel your best every single day without fail.

1. Simplifying Your Makeup Routine

Most women have a hard time figuring out what makeup routine works best for them. They go through all kinds of products until they find exactly the right areas of their faces on which to put makeup. It can be difficult for anyone to go through this complex process especially when there are so many different products and brands out there. The most effective thing to do is to find a few simple items that will highlight your natural beauty and will not take long to put on every morning. A cornerstone for every girl’s daily makeup routine is a high quality brow kit.

One that is not tested on animals and is hypoallergenic is an absolute plus! It is amazing how much of a difference it makes when your eyebrows are stylized in a way that suits your face. Other key makeup that you should consider for your routine includes moisturizer, concealer, mascara and tinted lip balm or lipstick. Using the same few key pieces everyday can give you a daily look that is classy and easy to perfect.

2. Finding Key Wardrobe Pieces

Something that is currently trending is a capsule wardrobe. This is essentially when you invest in a relatively small number of nice, time-withstanding pieces of clothing. The idea is that you will have a number of reliable and easily interchangeable items in your closet that can be used time and time again in different settings. From work to dinner to brunch, a capsule wardrobe allows you to pick your outfits everyday with the knowledge that you are wearing something that fits you well and will always make you look great. Some examples of items that will fit in a capsule wardrobe include a simple black top, a tailored pair of jeans and a pair of neutral ballet flats.

If you add in a few items of different colors or styles to go with this one outfit then you can mix and match until you have dozens of classic looks. Many people find this empowering and minimalistic. Not only can it simplify your daily life, sorting out your wardrobe into a capsule can make your yearly shopping all the more easy. Once you have a good base to work from you will know exactly what pieces you need and do not need in your closet.

3. Setting Up a Morning Routine

A morning routine is a great way to start your day off the right way. Developing one that is uniquely you can take some time and thought but is definitely worth it. In order to develop a routine that works for you, you should consider what your daily life looks like. If you are an active person with an active job then perhaps you should spend the morning doing some stretching, meditation and journaling. That way you can organize your thoughts and prepare your body for the day ahead. If you live a more sedentary life then you could do ten minutes of your favorite exercise, make a healthy meal and finish off with a cup of nutritious tea. This could set the tone for a positive day.

Following these tips can help you save two of your most valuable assets: time and money. Simplifying your life can be fun and it can help you look and feel great everyday.
