5 Products to Get You Through the Hustle
I’m pretty sure everyone I know has at least 2 jobs or even a side hustle. Something you’re working on… a passion project, your own business, blog (wink*)… something!
I can’t listen to people anymore who say “ugh this is my 8th day of work in a row” or you get to your serving job and someone says “I’ve been working since 9”
You know what? We’ve all been doing something since 9 am.
I’m gonna take you guys back to when I was 19 years old through to when I was…24. RIGHT BEFORE I got pregnant.
My day job was in retail where I worked 6 days a week. And at night I would go to a restaurant and work anywhere from 12am to 2am.
This continued (with a different business) until I was 24. I would sometime work 14 hour shifts in a bar. Or sometimes 10 hr shifts AFTER spending the day at my other job.
And let me tell you… it can be hard AF to keep your shit together through times like that! You’re tired, you haven’t seen your friends or had a minute to yourself. You’re eating all weird, probably not drinking enough water….
AND holy hell… how are you suppose to still look half decent at 3 am when the ugly lights come on and you’ve been running around a hot sweaty pub for 10 hours?
Here’s the thing: You don’t. You don’t look half decent (hopefully everyone is drunk enough to not notice). BUT there are a few things you can do to to help….
Long Wear foundation and concealer – This is going to be a must. I don’t love to wear a heavy foundation but if you need it to last… it’s a wise idea. Or at least a long wear concealer. You don’t want it MELTING off your face. Plus, why waste the time doing your makeup if it’s gonna come off anyways?
Setting Spray – Again, you don’t want your makeup coming off. This is great too if you like a lighter foundation but maybe work in a building without A/C, live in a humid place, or are running around meeting clients all day.
Rose water – My newest obsession! (I kind of get on kicks). I’ve said before, your skin can be oily and still be dehydrated. Spritz this mist on your face throughout the day to help keep your makeup from creasing and to keep your skin feeling fresh! (Bonus: It’s under $10)
Dry Shampoo!! – Every girls best friend. Time saver. Life saver. If you’re someone who gets oily hair easily or just haven’t washed your hair in 3 days (me, currently)… Keep this in your bag to refresh your hair throughout the day. On top of refreshing your hair, it gives extra volume!
Foot Spray – A friend introduced me to this recently and I’m obsessed! Okay girls… the majority of us have jobs or hustles or even just a style that doesn’t exactly allow for comfy, breathable shoes. A day in leather high heels? Or an evening running around barefoot in shitty flats? And it’s SO hard to find the perfect pair of shoes you can last in all day. SO you’re gonna wear them until the bottoms literally ware out…. They’re gross. And now you’re on to your next hustle, dinner with girlfriends, the gym…. you feel disgusting. Seriously, this foot spray is a total game changer!
Okay, now go enjoy your busy day!
