I can't shave my legs in the shower, I get lightheaded and feel like iI"ll slip fall. IfIf shaving, I do it first then get in. Shower consists of
shampoo hair,
Condition hair, (sometimes mix hair masque into conditioner)
Shave arm pits/chest/belly if needed (gotta love post pregnancy screwed up hormones)
Wash body,
Rinse out conditioner,
Blast of cold water to induce shine.
Get out and brush teeth.

Wednesday and Sunday:
Shave, wash face, wash face with scrub, brush teeth, brush teeth with special toothpaste (Sunday only), clean body with scrubbing mits, wash hair twice with one product, once with another and then I'm good to go. :P
Turn on the shower and let it heat up (takes forever too and comes out as a dripple)

You see things. You understand. You're a wallflower.

Shampoo hair.
Wash off shampoo.

Well it goes a little something like this:
Turn the media player up loud, set it to shuffle, position it somewhere it is unlikely to become the victim of splash back whilst completetly ignoring the fact it will end up the victim of shower damp anyway.
Undress.
Step into shower, make sure shower head is adjusted to "make it stop" intensity.
Turn shower on and commence shower dance until an appropriate temperature is reached.
Body is saturated with water.
Shower is turned off.
Hair is shampooed up and wrapped around head.
Body is soaped up.
Shower head is positioned so it avoids head and is turned back on, second shower dance of the day starts.
Bristle brush is grabbed and soap is washed off inbetween vigorous body scrubbing.
Shower head repositioned, shampoo removed whilst fingers comb the hair out.
Rinse entire body off once more for luck.
Turn shower off.
Wring hair.
Try not to do the slip and shriek routine because the drip towel is not where I expected it to be.
Wrap up, collect laptop inbetween cursing my drippy hair and inability to wrap it in a towel, exit bathroom.
My first thought was, what's there to say, but seeing the responces I guess there can be something to say..
I tend to get nakey, clothes go on the floor, put my glasses on the side of the sink.
Hop in and pull the hose down, turn the shower on and fiddle with the mixer taps to get it warm but not really hot, keeping it from spraying me till I'm sure.
Wet my hair, put the shower back on the hook, add shampoo, rub it in, then rinse it off.
Put conditioner on the ends of my hair and rub that in, then wash me bod, shave, then rinse everything.
Turn off shower, grab a towel and dry myself whilst standing in the tub. I can't stand a wet floor. Or if I have been silly and there is no towel, the naked dash occurs whilst I shiver intensely.
Get in shower
Chillax for a bit
Brush teeth
wash hair (occasionally use shampoo)
Chillax some more
Repeatedly wash face and body with water between all this
Chillax some more
Reluctantly get out.
Shave
Wash face
put soap on my body - rinse
put shampoo on my hair - rinse
If I use the hsampoo first I always think that I get the face scrub in my hair, so I do the face first.
Then I do the body, because if I did the hair first I would get soap in my hair after having it shampooed (I have looong hair), and I don't want that. That's why I shampoo at last so I can wash the soap out of my hair with shampoo.
You survived the abuse.
You're gonna survive the recovery.
- Go and repeatedly press the reset button for the boiler, in the hope that this will stop it tripping out.
- Strip and get in shower.
- Shave if necessary.
- Sit down for approximately 20 minutes and daydream. (optional step)
- Put 2-in-1 shampoo in hair. Use just normal shampoo if 2-in-1 not available.
- Rinse.
- As an afterthought, wash body. Forget to do face.
- Notice that skin on arms has turned blotchy and red - this is the "time to get out" sign. (I have dry skin and this happens when I take long, overly hot showers. Which is always.)
- Make mental note to self to turn the temperature down next time.
- Turn shower off, and stand in the middle of the tub for approximately 10 minutes, daydreaming. This is the drip-dry cycle.
- Dry self semi-adequately with a towel, and get dressed again.
- Put towel around shoulders instead of actually drying hair.
- Go sit at the computer and wait for hair to dry naturally.
If the bombs go off, the sun will still be shining, 'Cause I've heard it said that every mushroom cloud has a silver lining.
