Random NBR: What is your daily "personal care" regime?

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?

  • I shower at night, and do lotion afterwards. I sometimes put a spritz of body spray on but not too often. Victoria's Secret Love Spell gets so many compliments.

  • Im WAY to lazy to deal with lotion/body spary/makeup lol.I brush my teeth, and put  deodorant on in the morning. I shower when DH gets home in the afternoon and never bother to do my hair, its always up. I just feel like its more important to take care of DD than making sure I look ok.

  • I brush my teeth, shower and wash my hair, put deodorant on, apply lotion then go.:( I used to do my hair and apply light makeup and perfume. That flew out the window. I can't even stand it when my mom holds Quinn and I smell her perfumey lotion all over her.

  • I still shower, lotion, & wear make-up but I dont do much with my hair anymore. It's hard to fell sexy in large sweat pants and maternity jeans anyway.

    I used to shower at night, but now I shower in the morning becuase it helps me wake a up better now that I get less sleep.  I use Victoria Secret shower gel & lotion.  I didn't use it until DD was 1 month old because I heard they should get use to your scent first.  My favorite is Love Spell.  I am low maintenance I just comb through my hair and let it air dry.

  • I shower (just shampoo, conditioner, and regular soap), apply light makeup, blow dry my hair, put on deodorant, and that's about it. I wish I could be one of those "I just let my hair air-dry" kind of people, but I have serious frizz issues. LOL. I have no idea how long it takes to get ready because I'm always doing something in between, like changing diapers or folding laundry or something.

  • 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 in the morning, put on unscented lotion right after, dry my hair, and then put on makeup.  No perfume for me. I stopped wearing perfume when I had a student who was sensitive to it a few years ago.

  • 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.

  • My perfume is always 90% worn off by the time I get home from work, and I always spray it at the bottom of my shirt. That keeps it away from Jack's face. Also, strong smells give me a headache, so spraying it on the bottom of my shirt helps me, too.
  • 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

  • If Im not going anywhere I shower in the am (face wash, shampoo/conditioner, bodywash) and put my hair up wet.  When I finished the school year or am going out in public, I shower the night before so I can dry and straighten my hair.  No make up during the summer unless its like a wedding or something.  For work, lip gloss and mascara, powder if Im oily.
