10 Life Hacks That Will Make Your Morning Routine So Much Easier

Mornings aren’t always the best time of the day, you know? You’re not firing on all cylinders after rolling out of bed. And on top of trying to put on mascara with a shaky caffeine-filled hand, you’re likely in a rush because you’re running late.

If this describes your typical morning, then you definitely need these tricks to make your life that much easier. These storage tips will help turn your getting-ready frenzy into an organized regimen, and that’s just the kind of thing you need.

Let these ten ways of organizing your closet and bathroom bring order to your chaos because a less rushed morning makes for a better day.

2. Bracelet For Hair Elastics

Have you ever reached for your wrist only to find that your hair tie isn’t there? Yeah, don’t let that happen anymore. Pick up a hair-tie bracelet, like this one on Amazon. Because searching for that lost hair tie can really slow you down.
