My routine when leaving the house is usually a frenzied event. While I rarely run late, my last few minutes at home usually include grabbing something half-eaten to go and throwing a random assortment of things into my bag. But on the rare times I plan properly, it's nice to take my time getting ready - doing something different with my hair (this braided updo is my favorite), applying eyeliner, and generally making sure the whole experience is a bit less hectic.
