Shower Musings

[virgovictoria]

A thought occurred to me to survey my fellow forumites.. but decided to keep it on "Chit Chat" as it's just a silly topic, not worthy of a "feature" thread.

Anyhoo. I cannot stand taking a full shower everyday, and I'm listing the reasons to below to give a better understanding of why. First you will see the Day 1 routine, then Day 2.

Please Share and Comment!

Day 1

wash hair (somewhat long - takes some time to scrub)
rinse
repeat
wring out/condition
wash face
brush teeth
soap the bod
shave neck to toe
work on the feet as necessary
shower gel and loofah the bod
rinse out conditioner

towel off - head towel and towel for bod

deoderant
tons of lotion
lotion for feet - apply socks or feetware for lotion absorption
powder
spray for bod

get dressed

comb out mane
detangler and mousse
back up in towel

astringent
face creme
eye makeup (hair towel comes down)

SMOKE

blow dry hair

finish face
finish hair
(and, BELIEVE ME, these take some time)

proceed :blah: :blah: :blah:

Day 2

as little as humanly possible..

does anyone else find this to be annoying? :groundhogday: especially by your third, fourth or fifth decade in life? :shrug:

I luck out with the hair... my hair does the same ole same ole day in day out year after year so I don't have to go thru half the stuff you do for hair. But on the other hand, I love your wild hair and may have to run out and get a perm so I can be like you...

what day of the week corresponds to "Day 1"?

 

[Sassygirl]

I feel your pain. My hair is somewhat long as well, and very thick. So it takes forever to dry. I could get out of bed earlier, but who wants to do that? I think being in a rush makes the morning better

Kathy and I both used to shower daily. Her hair is short and very curly. Nowadays, I bathe her and wash/style her hair every 2nd or 3rd day. The reason we don't do it daily is that it just takes too much out of her. She's a goner for most of the day after that. On the in-between days, a light sponge bath does the trick. Showers are out of the question, as of last week. It took 30 minutes to get her back on her feet after she fell getting out of the tub.

I shower daily (pretty much - depends on how much getting her stuff taken care of took out of ME!).

V, I do the same things you do and the whole process takes 30 minutes, from the time I step in the shower, to the time I walk out the door. Where I get derailed in the morning is jumping on the forums while I have my after-shower smoke.

 

[virgovictoria]

VV, do you brush your teeth in the shower too? People have called me weird for that. I figure, I can make as big of a mess as I want to and it all goes down the drain

Brushing my teeth in the shower is just such a good feeling for my teeth!

I can do it, start to finish, in about an hour, if nothing else gets in my way...

That never seems to happen. Ever. The phone will ring... The forum will just MAKE me jump on it... The mooses will want extra attention... All things out of my control, I assure you...

I've heard a bunch of crap about it too...I do it cuz the warm water doesn't hurt my sensitive teeth.
