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

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....

hmm i think i take about an hour to get ready to go to work. i shower, get dressed, have my breakfast, put on make up and do my hair. if i'm going for an event or a special occasion, i might take a longer time to get ready, 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.
