How long does it take for you to get ready to go out on a date or with your friends?

Prompt created by yours truly. 
Feel free to use any prompts for August that I post and/or tag me.
I’d love to read your responses

It really depends on who I’m going out with and where we’re going.

It could range from 10 minutes
Running errands with friends, getting coffee, going hiking or working out, eating at the local greasy spoon

  • roll out of bed
  • brush teeth
  • wash face
  • apply products to face (toner, lotion, and sunscreen)
  • put hair in a claw clip or add barrettes
  • put on comfortable lounge wear and socks
  • grab my every day purse and water bottle
  • put on my New Balance or sandals and I’m out the door

to about 90 minutes
Going on a date, wedding, funeral, leadership meetings, high tea or Michelin star restaurant

  • roll out of bed
  • take a shower
  • brush teeth
  • wash face
  • apply hair products
  • blow dry hair
  • straighten hair
  • apply products to face before makeup (toner, lotion, and sunscreen)
  • apply makeup
  • put on clothes that are appropriate for where I’m going or whatever I think looks cute for the day
  • grab one of my fancier purses
  • make a cup of coffee
  • eat string cheese or handful of nuts (if I’m not going to be eating anytime soon)
  • put on shoes/heels that matches with my fit and I’m out the door

    It’s appropriate to fix yourself 90 mins for a meeting, but I think less on a date coz you’re already blooming.

    I love hiking with friends, though I haven’t experienced it. Only with my sisters.

      unfortunately, i don’t have sisters -_- but at least i have friends who wanna do outdoor things with me 😀

        Yeah its a blessing. But my sisters got so busy these days, so only home gatherings are possible

    That’s very practical. If I ever went on a date I wouldn’t want my date to make me wait for too long especially since we’ll be going to mcdonalds 😆

      LOL or you could cook for her!

    This is a great post and a great prompt, rojie!

    So what you’re saying is if you and I were going to hang out and it only took you about 12 minutes to get ready, then I know I’m pretty low on the totem pole? 😆

    1. justrojie Avatar

      lol it really depends where we’re going! if it’s to go to the gym or hiking, i’m not gonna do all that cause i’ll get too sweaty and i don’t wanna clog my pores. but if it’s to a cool event, then time will be spent primping!

      1. rebuilding rob Avatar

        It’s all good. I was just messing with you 😆

    Girl, you put me to shame, but I guess all this girl needs is her favorite red lipstick and her winning personality? 😉

    When you go out with friends or go out on a date, the first thing you do is roll out of bed?

    Just when do you sleep?

    Or maybe a better question is, when do you go out with people?

    1. justrojie Avatar

      i try to sleep as much as i can at any time of day!! but usually when my friends wanna go out, it’s in the morning. and when pple wanna go out at night, i try to take a nap beforehand otherwise i get sleepy cause of my stupid anemia

        Anyone who wants to go out in the morning isn’t a friend…
