I don’t shower every day. I’d like to blame this on my kids, but to be honest I never have. Even as a teen I showered every other day or so. It always felt like a chore.
Once in a while I bathe for the sake of grooming/shaving or reading a book, but these days I’d say that occurs about once a month. (In college, I bathed so often I had a little book rack so I could study in the tub.) Every once in a while I treat myself to a Lush bath bomb or bubble bar if I’m taking a bath. Or, if I need to get sleepy, I use some Roman Chamomile, Rosewood and Lavender essential oils. Sparingly.
When I take a shower, I hate getting water in my ears. So when I rinse, I do this ear-cupping thing that consistently makes my husband point and laugh at me. This, along with the fact that we don’t have a walk-in shower and the tub is full of bath toys, means that we rarely shower together.
(I wish we still had a nice walk-in shower. For to have the sex in.)
In the shower, I cheat on my styling products. This is due to a short-attention span and an unfounded belief that hair gets bored with the same old products. Lately, it’s worse than ever. I’ve been alternating between two Lush solid shampoos and a normal drugstore brand. Sometimes I use a coconut-scented conditioner that I don’t even really like, and sometimes I use a Nexxus spray-in conditioner.
I wash my face with water most of the time. If I’m really oily I use a quick pump of the awesome Korres facewash I bought on sale last month. I use Irish Spring on my armpits and lady area. I don’t use any sort of loofah, but once in a while I use a big sea sponge with shower gel. Except lately because I’m out of shower gel.
I collect a bunch of random soaps. I adore soap. But I actually rarely use the soaps because I don’t like bar soap on my face and most fragrances irritate my vag. (I think it finally gave up and got used to Irish Spring, because God knows that stuff is about as gentle as Comet.)
My bathroom is loaded with a lot of stuff. I have a few moisturizers (I’m still using stuff from that crazy free makeup department store fiesta last Winter) but I don’t moisturize faithfully. Right now I alternate between that stuff, some Korres Wild Rose moisturizer, and Vanishing Cream by Lush. I brush my teeth with whatever happens to be next to the sink.
This is riveting stuff, I know. Have some pictures!
