Personal Writing: Getting Ready For The Day I have found an effective way of getting ready in the morning that saves me time. I am going to share this information with my friend Stephanie. The order in which I get ready in the morning is as follows: I eat, I brush my teeth, I wash my face, I get dressed, I brush my hair, and I put on my makeup. The first thing I do when I get up is eat breakfast. I normally have Cocoa Puffs, but some times I have Chicken and Dumplings. After breakfast, I brush my teeth with Colgate Whitening toothpaste; I brush the top, front, and bottom teeth twice.
