Most of us wake up with disbelief that our warm, happy slumber has come to an end. If you’re like me, “Alexa, SNOOZE” are the first groggy words mumbling out of your mouth. Just 9 more minutes to process the fact that you must exit the warmth of your bed and make your way into the shower before you’re late (AGAIN) another day. I’m just not one of those gals that takes hours to get ready, not even if I’m going on national TV. So, I’ve learned to take a few shortcuts in the mornings when it comes to my beauty routine and I was able to share my hacks on this chilly morning on Great Day Washington in DC.
