I have a bar - height peninsula counter and it gets covered in papers the kids bring home from school, bills, kids» half - finished art projects, magic markers, small plastic toys, elastic hair bands, books, magazines, the newspaper, napkins, half - finished snacks, coins, friendship bracelets, coupons, scotch tape, and I could go on all day.

It doesn't need to be perfect, just make sure it's fairly high on your head (too low doesn't look quite right either), use a clear elastic hair tie (I use these), use as much hairspray (loving this one right now) as your little heart desires to set it, and you're out the door far quicker than if you were to style your entire head of hair!
