Girls Night in Twenty Minutes, One Pair of Huggies On the Whole Time The door is gonna knock before you've even found the matching earring. We both know...
The door is gonna knock before you've even found the matching earring. We both know it! So here's how I get ready when there's twenty minutes on the clock and I'd rather spend eighteen of them pouring the wine.
The reason this whole thing works? My huggies are already in my ears. They were in last night when I slept, in during my shower this morning, and they'll still be in long after everyone heads home.
That's the magic of gold filled, girl. You never take it off before bed, which means you never have to put it back on when you're running late.
So when I say "one pair of huggies on the whole time," I mean it literally! The getting-dressed part for your ears happened days ago.
Ten minutes left? I grab two necklaces and that's it. Four chains tangle like crazy and you'll be untangling them at a red light, trust me.
Go two inches or more apart in length so they sit on their own instead of stacking right on top of each other. Vary the chain thickness too, because a bunch of super lightweight chains loooove to wrap around each other.
And only one of the two gets a charm! A charm adds weight and pulls the necklace longer, so if both have one you lose that clean layered spacing.
Nobody's here yet to help with your clasp, and that tiny jump ring? Impossible to pinch one-handed. This is where a bobby pin saves the whole night.
Thread the jump ring onto a bobby pin, hold the bobby pin flat in your palm, then twist the bracelet around and clasp it. It feels like a magic trick the first time, I promise.
Now you've got a bracelet on without texting anyone to come zip up your wrist!
The twenty-minute version totally falls apart if you're babying delicate pieces in and out of a box every single time. That constant on-and-off is where things get lost and rushed.
Gold filled and sterling silver are built to just stay with you. The whole Hey June thing leans on pieces you can sleep, shower, and run out the door in without a second thought.
So the real prep for a fast girls night? It actually happens weeks before, when you pick huggies you genuinely never take off. Then the night of, your jewelry's already handled and you get to focus on the fun part.
Huggie feeling a little loose on your way out? You don't need to swap it, just give it a tiny adjustment. Push the little post up a hair with some gentle pressure and click it back into the latch for a snugger fit.
Twenty minutes, two necklaces, a bracelet, and the earrings that were already on. Go answer the door!
