Today, I was taking a shower and I realized that I have been taking a shower the same way for God-knows-how-long. On a day that I take a quick shower, it takes me about 30 minutes. The actual shower is only about 10 minutes though. I went 2 boarding skool in Naija, so every morning we washed our underwear b4 taking a shower, and guess what? I still do it! Another thing I do is that I tie my sponge around my waist, so that while I’m standing under the shower, the water rinsing my body would rinse the soap off the sponge too. When we did it in boarding skool, we did it 2 save water, but now, I just do it out of habit.
Here’s my daily shower routine:
- Wash underwear by the sink
- Hang it on the bathroom door (I always leave d door open when I’m takin a shower)
- Brush my teeth
- Brush my teeth again
- Rinse my mouth with Listerine mouth wash
- Put on my shower cap
- Wash my face with an Olay cleansing cloth
- Enter the bath-tub
- Turn on the hot water and then the cold water
- Make sure the temperature is okay then turn the shower overhead shower thingy
- Fold the long sponge in half and then fold it again (to be 1/4 of the original size)
- Put the soap in the sponge and rub it till it lathers really well
- Stand under the shower and let the water wet my whole body
- Start by scrubbing my chest, then my hands, then my neck, then my upper back, then my stomach.
- Then I wash my you-kn0w-what, then my thighs, then my calves, then my feet, then my back again
- After that, I unfold the sponge and scrub my whole back, then I tie the sponge on my waist and stand under the shower and let the water rinse me and the sponge.
- Then I rub soap on the sponge again and scrub inside and outside my ears, and then I scrub my neck again
- Then I rinse the soap out
- Then I squirt some Olay scrub in my palms, rub my palms 2 lather then I cleanse my face.
- After that I stand under the shower 4eva and just let d water make love 2 me.
Now that I have given you a detailed info about how I take my shower, I’m beginnning to wonder if it was necessary sef. But anyways….
I took a nature walk today too. It was nice as usual…except that it was rather windy. My eyes kept watering and I looked like I was crying. And the wind was scattering my hair alll over the place. I don’t know what I had more problem with: the wind in my eyes, or the way the wind was aggressively raping my hair. Anyway…that’s all over now.
We go yarn tomorrow.
