For me it usually doesn't take me more than 30 minutes at the most. When it's time to get out of the house, I shower, brush my teeth, change, do my hair, apply moisterizer cream on my face, arms and legs and then make sure I have everything I need in my purse, then I'm out door. How about you?

Once I snapped open my eyes, I will start hopping around, prepare whatever clothes I needed to wear. 5 minutes shower, 20 minutes to fix myself. Sometimes, if I feel like dressing up for no occasion at all, I will extend another 15 minutes. All in all, its one hour. If I'm a guy, I think 10 minutes is all it takes for me to get ready, LOL!

Depends on what I'm getting ready for. If it's only to take my daughter to school, about 2 minutes, if it's to go to work about 45 minutes. My work starts at either noon or six in the evening.

hmmm... taking a bath... dressing up... beauty regimens... preparing my usual "items" when going out.. usually takes me about an hour. ^__^;; sometimes, if I'm in a hurry I can do it in 30 minutes. but that's seldom. I always need to prepare early coz I know I need an hour to get ready. LOL

I'm a minimalist so it only takes me a couple minutes. Throw on clothes, brush hair and pull back into pony tale, brush teeth and I'm done. Getting my sons ready and out of the house, however, takes nearly an hour. LOL

For me it takes me about 30 to 45 minutes to get ready since I apply makeup besides that I shower, brush my teeth, change, apply moisturizer and eye cream and fix my hair.

Oh my, it takes about ten minutes just to wake up in the morning, because I stay up until about 1:00 a.m. I wake up at 6:15 a.m. Get in the shower, then get dressed. Most of the time, I get online just to see what the top news is for the day. Then I go to breakfast. All in all, it takes me about an hour to get dressed.

Hello,maddysmommy,if you consider the time from i get up to i leave home for work,it will be one hour for me to get ready,i need 20-30 mintues for taking shower ,brushing teeth and combing my hair,then i need extra 20-30 mintues to prepare for my breakfast so that i have energy to work for the whole day. I will also double check whether i get my purse and mobile when i leave home.

it takes me about 1 hour from the time i finish taking a bath to the time i go out of my room fully dressed already. you know why it takes me an hour to get ready? its because i have long hair and i have to dry it first so that it will look nice all day. :)

Hello There Maddysmom:) It actually takes me less than Thirty minutes to get ready, when I am going out. I spend half of the time in the shower and the other half getting reasy which is just putting on my cloths and slicking back my hair...lol... I am a very simple person and don't really dress up too much. I am just a jeans and t-shirt girl...lol....

I can get ready in about 5 minutes or less to leave. I usualy shower at night so in the mornings i get dressed comb my hair ponytail it, brush my teeth and i am ready to go. When I was younger before school it would take me close to an hour, i would shower and then i would have to blow dry my hair and had to wear make up and look my best now that i am mom of 3 i try to keep things as simple as possible.

I usually take about 20 minutes for me to get ready in the morning. I usually take a quick shower, brush my teeth, wear my contact lens, change and comb my hair, apply lipsticks and wear earrings. These are what I normally do in the morning before I go out to work. But if I need to prepare for my lunchbox, I'll need to wake up 30 minutes earlier.

It all depends on how much time I have to get ready. If I am really late, 10 minutes is all is need. If there is a lot of time, an hour is also not enough. I just plan what to do depending on the time I have.
