5 things you can do while blow drying your hair

Drying your hair takes time, and in the morning time is valuable. Not to mention this is one of the most undervalued times to multitask. Sure, the number of things you can do while simultaneously holding a blow dryer in your hand is limited but don't underestimate yourself!

Whiten your teeth. Some of the more recent developments in the teeth whitening industry only take around 25-30 minutes. And thing of all the things you CAN'T do while whitening your teeth. Apply whitening strips right before you pick up a blow dryer and knockout a good portion of the half hour period.
Clear up your skin. If you're anything like me, you start the week off with every intention of having good, clean skin hygiene, but you never seem to get around to applying those one-use clay masks that only take 2-3 minutes. This is a great opportunity to make better use of your time! Since you'll have hair blowing everywhere (including in your face) its best to pick a mask that dries quickly that you can apply right before you turn on the dryer.
Work on your quads. Doing squats is a great in-place exercise you can do while drying your hair that, if done daily, will help tone your muscles in your thighs and butt. The best part is.. it's hands free! See how many you can get done during the time it takes your hair to dry and try to improve each day. For added bonus, add a knee lift each time you come up from your squat.
Let products dry. What better time to let your pedicure set that when there's a bunch of air blowing in the room? If you're afraid of your nails smudging, add a quick top coat of Essie Quick-e. Decide to go the way of self tanner? Apply it before you dry your hair to ensure its had enough time to soak into the skin.
Set goals for your day. This one sounds cheesy, but when you think about it, it's something you never would think about doing and now you can't make the excuse that you don't have time..
Set two or three goals that you'd like to accomplish, they can be as simple as getting your homework done before 9 or introducing yourself to one new person. Write them down on a sticky note and hang it on your mirror. Regardless, this is a great habit to get into. If you set goals each day you will be better prepared for the future ahead:)
