How long does it take you

An hour, even just getting ready for work. Double that for a fancy evening event because I usually take a bubble-bath and polish my nails.
 




Including shower, makeup & hair .. 45 - 60 minutes and totally worth it. When I don’t take the time I hear that I look really tired or sick. UGGHHHHH

Sadly, it's been many years, since I was able to take a bubble bath. I didn't even include the time polishing my nails. I try to do that ahead of time. DH often has to do my toenails, due to my back & knee problems. Yes, they look as good as you'd imagine, but he tries. :p We usually do that a day or two before we go out, because he doesn't have a set schedule. If I did everything you mention, it would definitely take me 2 hours. It takes at least 20 minutes just to dry my hair.
 
Going to work or running errands I can be ready in about 30 min. Going out for something fun about an hour.
 
10 or 15 minutes if shower time is not included. 6 minutes to blow dry hair, then get dressed, brush teeth, put in contacts.

I don't normally wear makeup, but if I put some on that's an additional 5 minutes as I just wear concealer and lip stuff. If it's a real fancy event I'll put on mascara. But most days I don't wear any.

My mom won't even walk to the mailbox without her full "face" on and it takes her 3 hours to get ready for the day every day... so I think I'm scarred from that and try to do the opposite, lol. I think she misses out on a lot of activities because of it.
 
That depends on how you look at it.
Shower: 15 minutes. Styling/Dressing/Makeup: Probably the same...

But it takes about 90 minutes for my hair to dry. I can't blow dry if I want it to look decent - and trust me, I've tried diffusers and cool settings and all the other suggestions. It has to air dry. And since it's curly, I can't wash it the night before, it has to be the same day. I usually take my shower about 2 hours before I have to leave, then spend an hour or so doing dishes, playing on the internet, etc., then I finish getting ready.
 
10 minutes in the shower, 5 minutes makeup, 10 minutes hair BUT I wait 30 minutes after getting out of the shower before blow drying my hair. I like to let my hair air dry for a bit. In the morning before work i use that 30 minutes to drink my coffee and catch up on the news. Getting dressed is only a couple minutes. Same amount of time if I am working in the yard or going to a formal event. It's one of the best things about being middle aged, I have my routines down!
