Recently, I've discovered a few of the fastest and most convenient foods, hairstyles, and more!
Food:
If you're like me, you love love love guacamole. I bought some of those divine avocados the other day to go with my Tostitos Hint of Lime chips! Try them! I'm drooling a little.
I decided to google the "easiest guacamole dip" and stumbled upon this recipe. I should've gone there first! Allrecipes is, again, the mecca of all awesomeness! The recipe is here, but it only calls for the avocados and garlic salt. I added the garlic salt, but decided it needed something more! Lemon juice! My husband and I killed that guac faster than it took me to whip it up! (Which was approximately 30 seconds. Literally!) This is definitely my go-to recipe for guacamole!

Convenience trick number two?
The Sock Bun!
Normally, I just throw my hair into a terrible "bun", if you will. It's more of a messy bun, and nothing cute. Like this:
Mine is closer to this:
Okay, so to be honest, she looks cute! That's my typical hair sans the cute bangs and cute face.
I love hairstyles that take little to no effort, yet look adorable!
One of my favorites is the flipped ponytail!
There's just something elegant to it!
On a side note, does anyone remember the infomercials for these?!
Here are a couple of hair tricks that I love! Namely the Goody Simple Style Spin Pin. That's actually the name!
These things are SO fast. They actually stay in your hair tightly and don't slip out like bobby pins.
My sister poked fun at me for this, but I love my sock bun!
I just rolled up two socks with the toes cut off for mine!
There are two ways to do this:
Throw your hair in a ponytail, spread your hair all around it, and roll up your hair!
then...
OR
You can spread the hair over the sock, like this one!
Just tuck the remaining hair in with the Goody spin pins or bobby pins and voila! A sock bun.
By the way...
While looking for pictures, I stumbled upon this website.

Sock Bun Curls?
Has anyone ever hear of curling your hair with a sock bun?
There's a tutorial on YouTube. It's a bit lengthy, but it works! I watched this video and tried it!
The only thing I would've changed is adding some sort of product to my hair to make the curls hold longer. I used it as a base curl for my bridals a few months ago.
Even though they didn't hold as well as I thought they would, they definitely made styling my hair easier! Just throw some pomade on your hair and you should be good to go!
Fast Meals!
If you've ever used a slow cooker before, you know what a fast meal is! I know it sounds kind of silly. Slow cooker for a fast meal? If the preparation time is extremely short for me, then that is a fast meal!
Try this little experiment: Take your favorite things, throw them in a crock pot, and turn it on low for 8 hours. That night you will be drooling with anticipation!
Now, this doesn't mean a brownie mix with ribs! Yikes. Vegetables are easy to throw in. Or, to make things easier, research a crock pot recipe with a few ingredients and tweak it to your liking! To make things even easier for you, go check out my board of Crock Pot meals on Pinterest!
Do any of you have any fast tips for life? Hair, makeup, food? We'd love to hear about it!
