If you’re someone who struggles enough as it is to get your face on without running late every morning, imagine how hard it is when a toddler is thrown into the mix.

Yep, they’ve sure got a knack for getting into just about everything, making even the easiest of tasks a much bigger challenge. When you’re trying to get out the door in a hurry, use the bathroom, talk on the phone or do your make-up - expect biiig delays. Sorry ladies, there's no more smooth sailing from here on in.

So when you’ve got a toddler in tow, the trick to getting out the door on time is cutting out the finicky details (bye bye winged liner!) and sticking to the basics. Watch what bh’s Bree uses to master the art of getting ready with a toddler.

BB CREAM TO MULTITASK

Sitting somewhere between a moisturiser and a foundation, BB Cream is a skin saviour - the quickest, fuss-free complexion perfection cream for a mum.

ALWAYS HAVE WIPES ON HAND

The number of times you’ll use these for yourself - and on them - is unparalleled. Keep a packet with you at all times for wiping grubby hands and faces clean.

NURTURE YOUR BROWS

When you only have a few minutes to get ready, focus on features that make the biggest impact with minimal effort. Don’t underestimate the power of strong, polished looking brows.

THE POWER OF A POWDER

Continually chasing a toddler around doesn’t exactly lend itself time for touch-ups. To ensure your make-up lasts the distance, quickly dust a light layer of finishing powder over your foundation.

DETANGLE IN A FLASH

Finding a few quiet moments to style your hair comes once in a blue moon, so for all those other times you’ll need a fast fix, leaving it up to your brush to see you through. Our advice? Invest in a tangleze - they work wonders on knots, fit easily into your handbag and are even gentle enough to use on your bub.

URGENT EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET YOUR EX BACK FAST AND TO SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE NOW CONTACT DR.DAVID ON WHATSAPP DIRECTLY +2347040654140 .

My name is MICHEAL RACHEL. When I read a testimony online on how DR DAVID the great and most powerful spell caster helped to bring back Divorce husband or wife EX LOVER. I was wondering how this can be true, Because many have failed me in the past without any result from them. I just let the post pass by and move on to the forum. To my notice under again, Some person posted and said tested and trusted spell caster. After reading through the mail it was this same man DR DAVID she was talking about. So I have no other option than to really check up how he works. I was totally devastated when my beloved husband left me. It was like my entire world vanishing into sorrow and pain. I know it sounds weird but out of all the spell casters I contacted, he was the only one to give me that impression of being so true and trustful. More than his words, He brought my husband back and he made all my wishes come true. He is now loyal, pays attention to me, he offers me flowers every Sunday, and we often go out at the cinema and the restaurant. My husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family are living together happily again.. I will be forever thankful for turning my life from hell to heaven! I believe those who need help should get to him for help. May God continue to use you to save broken relationships. To every one with marital problems, divorce issues, lost lovers or any relationship related issues, you can contact DR DAVID and wonder about the ultimate spell caster. contact him on his Email Address @ awesomespelltemple@gmail.com His Website:: http://awesomespelltemplem.website2.me his WhatsApp +2347040654140 https://www.facebook.com/Awesomelovepelltemple

i find the setting spray easier and quicker... plus not as obvious if the kid slapped you before

My closest friend is a single mother. I'm amazed at how she copes with getting herself and her child ready and she's out the door very early. All mothers are super heroes.
