June 24, 2019 at 04:00AM by CWC There simply aren’t enough hours in a day, full stop. Trying to check every item off of your to-do list in a given 24 doesn’t leave a whole lot of time for primping, which means we’re all constantly looking to cut corners with our beauty routines, and the best place to find ways to do it is in the aisles of the drugstore. From products that serve double duty to those that make the getting-ready process slightly speedier, many of of our favorite products are all about saving time (and as we all know, time is money). Scroll through to see the best time-saving drugstore picks of 2019, none of which will cost you more than $18.  The best part? You’ll finally have time to make yourself breakfast in the morning…and eat it somewhere other than at your desk.

Blowouts are sleeker, faster, and for me personally, it cut the process from 20 minutes down to 8.

It’s not the first time in my life that inappropriately timed laughter has overtaken me—and I’d bet that I’m not alone. You’ve for sure been in a serious situation but suddenly and nearly uncontrollably broken out into giggles, right? Let’s call it funeral laughter, if you will. But just because it might be common doesn’t make being in the midst of an ill-timed giggle fit any less awful. ad_intervals[‘396932_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’] = setInterval(function () { if (ads_ready) { clearTimeout(ad_intervals[‘396932_div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’]); googletag.cmd.push(function(){googletag.display(‘div-gpt-ad-7435403-3’);}); } }, 100); “There is no ‘good’ way to make an excuse, nor is there a tried-and-true protocol for handling an awkward laugh,” says etiquette expert Diane Gottsman.
