Personal Hygiene Sucks
Hello pals,
I have been a court jester for 3 of my cousins this week so I am flat out of energy. So I'll leave you with some of my ramblings from a rainy day last week...
Now don't judge me, but I really kinda hate showers. I mean I do shower, don't get me wrong I am not unwashed, I just don't like it.
Ever since I was a kid I would relish not going to school so I didn't have to go anywhere and I didn't have to shower. If I could spend all day in my pyjamas then that was a successful day. Come to think of it, I still think that as an adult.
I am currently in my pyjamas.
And it is the afternoon.
I digress.
I hate personal hygiene. It's tricky and it makes you feel as though you have to do things. I hate being 'made' to do anything. I rebel against anything that I have to do. Well, when i say rebel I mean I ignore it for a while until I literally can't put it off any longer and I need to get it done because it's taken up all my brain space and I've done everything else on my to do list. I really am not a rebel of any kind.
I read a wonderful post by Amazing Grace about body hair recently and thought of my struggles with wanting to clean my body. I watched Grace Helbig declare she wants all over dry shampoo and thought YES IT'S NOT JUST ME.
I then instantly thought no because my skin would hate the dry shampoo for skin bit because it's super fussy.
I just hate the whole act of showering, it's a such a big work up for something that is so mundane and routine. I mean we have to do it so often, why am I not quicker or better at it?
I regularly feel like I might fall or slip and break the shower curtain/wall hanging thing with all my shampoos in. I drop stuff in the shower all the time and wake up my family member on the other side of the wall.
And don't even get me started on the effort of moisturising my entire body after I have tried for the last 10 minutes to rid my entire 36" legs of any whiff of leg hair.
It just sucks a little, am I right?
But I do kinda like to have a bath. I don't wanna think about the body soup argument (as highlighted in the aforementioned Mamrie Hart/Grace Helbig video) because I do just like the weightlessness of a bath and the calm that I can find by simply being submerged in water. But it takes me a while to get there and it must be the right temperature, close to scalding so it doesn't get cold too quickly and i have to get out, but not too close.
It's a tricky business this being human.
Are you team shower or team bath, or like me kinda team i hate it all a little bit?
That's all today, as I now have to go and wash my body. DAMNIT.
