When I was a kid I used to take cold showers all the time. I think it had something to do with coming home from the beach or playing outside in the sun all day that just made a cold shower that much more refreshing. As I’ve gotten older though, so has my shower preference and I now like the water borderline scorching hot.
But now I live in a 6 person house with 5 other girls and 2 bathrooms. The downstairs shower is the obvious favorite because it’s bigger, nicer, and gets much warmer. The upstairs shower is literally the size of a large box and it’s super hit or miss if you’re even going to get hot water. Recently the upstairs shower hasn’t even been getting warm, let alone hot, so everyone showers downstairs. Except me 😎 because these freezing cold showers were genuinely part of my daily routine as a kid.
Anywho, I basically get a shower all to myself and even though a cold shower sucks sometimes I’m pretty sure they’re better for you and I’m glad for them every once in a while.

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.

Listen, I know, I know. this is a whole debate. But nothing will rejuvenate you like a cold shower. the trick is to ease into it, shower by shower.

i know i sound like a freak, but if you alternative between hot and cold water in your morning shower, it shocks your brain and i swear on my life you will feel weirdly euphoric to start off your day. i know it’s insane i do not do this often at all but it absolutely works

I snatched a pair of my moms Dansko clogs out of her closet over winter break and they’re the best thing ever. I can slip them on to go to work, class, on a walk… I LOVE THEM. It’s also so snowy and slushy here and I can’t deal with wet socks, but thankfully my clogs are both platform and waterproof 😏 seriously the best things ever. I’m wearing them with sweatpants in class right now actually. Bring ‘em back!!
