10 Ways for a Better Organized Morning

1. Prepare breakfast the night before. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day so you should not skip it. You can prepare a sandwich the night before or put a bowl and cereal on the table.

2. Don't have time for blow drying your hair? 

• Brush your hair back and make a low ponytail. 
• Put your hair in a bun. You can also wear a hairband. 
• Put your hair in a ballerina bun. 

3. Wear your little black dress. Find the perfect little black dress. Wear statement necklace, bracelets, scarves and other fashion accessories with it. 

4. Glowing skin. After cleansing your skin in the evening mix your night cream with a self-tanning cream. Your skin will be glowing in the morning.

5. Fix your hair at work/school. If you have naturally wavy hair wash them in the evening and put them in a bun. Take your hair out of the bun at work or in school and your hair is done. 

6. Pick out clothes for the whole week. Pick out your clothes for the whole week on Sunday evening. Put those clothes on hangers and you can put labels on them with days of the week.

7. Simple for combinations. Buy shoes in grey or beige color. These two colors are easiest to wear with anything. 

8. Reorganize your makeup. Separate your everyday makeup from makeup for special occasions. 

9. Be physically active in the morning. Walk to work instead of driving there with your car. If your work or school is to far away to do that then walk just part of the way. Doing this will give you energy for the whole day. Wear comfortable shoes on your way to work or school and carry your high heels or other shoes in your bag. 

10. Organize your purse. If you change your purses frequently then put your essentials (like your makeup, wallet and your phone) in a makeup bag. This will make putting your essentials from one to the other purse easier.

10 things that help you relax

1. Take care of your plants. Working in the garden decreases chances of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Buy some room plants and take care of them if you cannot have them outside.

2. Breathe properly. Sit down, close your eyes, be still and breathe deeply. Put your hands on your stomach and breathe in 5-10 times. You can do this in the office or on the bus - whenever you feel tension.

3. Laugh. Laughing makes us breathe with full lungs which relaxes the body, and also increases formation of endorphin - hormone of happiness, which will make you feel nice and relaxed.

4. Stretch. Sit on the floor, stretch and spread your legs and breathe in while your arms are above your head. Slowly exhale and bring your upper body towards the floor. Stay in this position for a few seconds and repeat the exercise.

5. Listen to the music. Music is integral part of our lives and it impacts on our feelings. While you are doing chores listen to the music that you like - this way you will have more energy to work.

6. Be organized. Think again about your daily activities. Do you really have to do everything? Remove everything for which you do not have time and takes you too much time.

7. Eat according to the ''Zen way''. Some foods have a positive effect on your mood. Bananas have serotonin which gives you a sense of satisfaction.

8. Exercise. If you walk 40 minutes daily you will do  a lot for your body.

9. Get a massage. A massage improves your blood circulation and increases lung capacity, improves sleep quality and condition of your skin.

10. Regenerate. At night, the body regenerates all processes, so sleep is the best way to relax and feel better on a long term.
