DON’T DO THIS WHEN YOU’RE LATE
You’re going on a date tonight or tomorrow or whenever. That can be exciting enough on its own as we all want it to go smoothly. Women have the tendency to immediately want to do what we’re thinking. And we really mean NOW. This isn’t always the right way to go about things; not only do we run late, we totally stress out. This doesn’t just dampen our fun but rubs off on others, like our date. Not good. The following activities cannot be done last-minute and require more time. So plan accordingly to ensure you are entirely relaxed when you walk out that door. Also works for non-date situations.
Paint you nails
A classic. Why is it absolutely necessary to get out the nail polish five minutes before you have to leave? Couldn’t you have done this yesterday? Just a while ago I had an ELLE photo shoot that involved a lot of open-toed shoes. So I coated my toenails with a nice color and set off. I thought my nails were dry but when I arrived at the set they were covered with a fuzzy layer because of my socks. Charming
Try out a new hair product
Around a year ago Jet had a date. She was going to leave the office and go straight to the restaurant. At the last minute she thought her hair could use a boost. “Dry shampoo works a miracle”, the girls in the office told her. Unfortunately Jet’s hair didn’t agree, resulting in a knotty mess. I can tell you: panic room situation. Big time.
Change outfits
You’re ready and dressed with a minute to spare. In other words you’re on time. Suddenly you think it might be the wrong outfit and you have to change. Desperately you throw everything off and start rummaging through your closet. You try on five different skirts only to end up wearing the first one again while wiping drops of sweat from your forehead. Now you’re running half an hour late and show up at your date out of breath and wearing the same outfit you had planned days ago.
apply eyeliner
The whole applying eyeliner is a difficult task. Doing this at the last minute is almost always doomed to fail. You’ll have eyeliner on your cheek, forehead, shins and back – everywhere but on your eye – Good luck!
post on instagram
At first it is to kill time. Yet somehow you get stuck in a vacuum; what filter do I use? What text should I add? The urge to post grows and you continue uploading your photo while the clock is ticking away.
answer the phone
Don’t pick up if you see it’s your mother, father, grandfather or grandmother. They tend to take ages to come to the point. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
