Must-Have Items for On the Go Moms

With all the joys of being a mom, there are also the late nights, early mornings, and lack of time that always seem to creep up on me. “Me” time goes completely by the wayside as I’m trying to get out the door in the morning. Taking care of my kids to make sure they have everything they need in the AM leaves me little time for much of anything else…especially getting ready.

But as my job demands, I have to look put together, every day. Not only that, but my look has to last from 6PM to well into the evening. Luckily, there are a few key items that save my butt, especially on days where I have important meetings where I have to look good. You’d be surprised what a little lipstick, concealer, and a hat can do for a busy mom!

Here are the 10 items I add to my everyday work looks that keep me looking polished without adding much time or effort to my morning routine.

Check them out in the slideshow.
