What do you do all to get ready for the day or if you are going somewhere? Do you shower in the morning? Do you use soap or shower gel? Lotion after shower? Hair? Makeup? How long does it all take you? I was watching The Bacholerette and the one guy told her that she smelled nice. I thought that was so cute and it got me to thinking about these random questions. I've found that I don't wear too much scent because of DD. Anyone else feel this way. I just don't want to expose her to anything unnatural as much as I can help it. I try not to go too crazy.
So any thoughts?
Re: Random NBR: What is your daily "personal care" regime?
I either shower the night before or take a bath in the morning while the kids play in the bathroom. My wet hair goes into a french braid to control frizz until I can find a spare 30 minutes to dry it (or stays in the brain for the day if I'm not going anywhere). Once it's dry I throw it in hot rollers and it's done.
I don't wear make-up, so that saves a lot of time. I also don't wear perfume.
I shower at night because I usually work at 6:30 am, and with the thick, curly hair I have, there's no way I could make myself wake up early enough to blow dry and straighten it.
In the morning, I wake up, brush my teeth and go to the bathroom. Then I get dressed, put on d.o. and a spritz of perfume before I head out the door for work. Sometimes I have to straighten out a kink my hair may have gotten overnight, but not usually. I use Dove d.o. (the yellow one) and either Abercrombie, Hollister or Vikki's perfume.
Before bed I take a shower (around 8 pm or so)--I use Vikki's So Sexy Shampoo and Conditioner OR Aveda Brilliant, depending on what I'm in the mood for. I also use regular Dove bar soap for shaving (my skin is too sensitive for shave gel) and Sangria-scented body wash from Target. I get out of the shower and use Dove frizz tamer/leave-in conditioner. Then I blow dry and straighted my hair. If I want DH to love the smell of my hair or if it's extra humid outside, I will spray in a little Bed Head Frizz Control.
I shower when I get the chance. It can be at night, in the morning, random time during the day.. just depends on what DD is doing. Showers=shampoo, conditioner, body wash, quick shave, and i'm out. I dry my hair an straighten the front.. takes all of 5 minutes now. If we're going out, I try to find time to throw on some eye makeup but usually I don't wear any. Lotions and perfumes are not happening for me because of DD.
ETA: I want to add that I wear deoderant[sp]. lol
