Aka turning the water off while lathering. I’ve started doing this out of necessity to conserve enough hot water to take a bath after I shower because my hair has gotten so long that it takes forever to clean and condition properly. But also it’s sustainable or whatever if you care 🫶
I have a shower. A hot shower. A long shower. I carve out at least an hour for a long shower which includes the following; Curly hair routine (and lose half my head of hair), scrub scrub, clean under nails, shave AND use a foaming cleanser! I love my scalp scrubber too. After the shower I like to do my nails and some skincare. Just helps me feel more on top of things hehe
I have taken showering in the comfort of my own home for granted. I started going to the gym recently and I find that the only way I can remain consistent is if I go first thing in the morning. Which means I go straight to work right after. Which means I have to shower in the locker room. Which means I only shower at home when I don’t go to work directly after the gym, so Saturday and Sunday. Surely, I could just “take another shower” if I wanted the comfort of my own shower so bad throughout the week. However, not only is that more effort and time wasted, but also, the wait until the weekend to treat myself to a home shower releases a sort of euphoric catharsis. Taking a dump naked and immediately hopping into the shower. The smell of EOS Pink Champagne body wash emanating through the steamy bathroom. Sky Ferreira shower curtain watching my bare butt as I brush my hair and perform my skin care routine. These are the sort of experiences you can only get twice a week.
I loooove to wash the day off at the end of night & i love to start the morning fresh if there were more hours of the day (& if water was free) i would spend more of it in the shower. might have to make a whole rec abt how much i love soap & body wash & hair care too
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
