But oh, when I do.

I've tried it a few times and it works well for me.<BR/><BR/>I didn't wash my face or brush my teeth at all yesterday (until bedtime, that is), nor did I put on a bra or any form of proper clothing.

M has been known to shower 2x a day regularly and i caught him in a 4 shower day once (the thought of which makes my skin itch). the mornings when i wake up and can smell my skin (you know, that smell your oils make that is YOUR smell) that's when i know it's shower day, like it or not.<BR/><BR/>and hopping into fresh sheets all clean is great! i second that!<BR/><BR/>ps. my point is i don't think there's anything wrong with not shower... i use the rationalization that i'm doing my skin and scalp a favor anyway, plus conserving water and saving clean clothes for days when i'm actually going to leave the house : )Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-65425396735103063832009-01-04T19:09:00.000-05:002009-01-04T19:09:00.000-05:00If it makes you feel better, my hair stylist tells...If it makes you feel better, my hair stylist tells me NOT to wash my hair everyday.

(Though dry shampoo and some texturizer can work wonders.) It is a form of indulgence to lay around in your pjs, snug as a bug in a rug and probably dirty as one too :)BGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16245246757947455649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-55503290315361726342009-01-04T13:55:00.000-05:002009-01-04T13:55:00.000-05:00If I'm not planning to leave the house for a few d...If I'm not planning to leave the house for a few days, i honestly don't see the point in washing my hair.

So it's kind of true.<BR/><BR/>I consider chopping all my hair off about every other week. But the pulling back, for me, is even more convenient. My hair needs a lot of product when it's short.<BR/><BR/>LuckyLys - Yes! It feels sooo fantastic after all that time to scrub in hot hot hot water.<BR/><BR/>I wish I had think hair - I feel like my friends with thick hair can hide the dirt for longer.Lemon Gloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280085058516960260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-7139825516752408712009-01-04T13:44:00.000-05:002009-01-04T13:44:00.000-05:00oh gosh, i love not being able to shower for 2 or ...oh gosh, i love not being able to shower for 2 or 3 days at a time and then just lavishing myself with nearly scalding water and a scratchy but soft loofa bubbling with yummy soap! i have really thick hair, so it gets oily fast, but if i know i'm not going to be able to hit up a shower for a while, i put it in braids.<BR/><BR/>this actually was my case for the past 3 days, and i finally showered today. of course, my excuse is that i was on a train for the past 2 days, and by yesterday night, i was just too tired and lazy. but the shower this morning...pretty close to orgasmic, haha :)Lyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08194538900037899067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-30743662834674425402009-01-04T13:13:00.000-05:002009-01-04T13:13:00.000-05:00There is a certain decadence to not washing... :-)...There is a certain decadence to not washing... :-)<BR/><BR/>This is part of why I shave my head and/or keep my hair short. It's a lot easier and less time consuming to keep clean, which makes the whole grooming process that much easier.vvkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734548705832479139noreply@blogger.com
