Skip the Shower to Save Time

Frenzied Friday, Shower

Image(s): FreeDigitalPhotos.net

 

Okay, bear with me here. This one was my husband’s idea. I kinda laughed it off, but there may be something to it. Perhaps I don’t think that on a Frenzied Friday I should just, “don a ball cap and head out the door” as he suggested, but I can see showering the night before and doing your hair. Then you can choose to re-shower in the morning and just touch up your “do”, or if desperate for time, head out the door in a flash (Well, as much of a flash as you can with a toddler in tow).

Now he has also pointed out, quite correctly, that people used to skip showers all the time, and that if people did it more, less would notice! Seriously, where does he come up with it?

I also kinda laughed when he suggested a post on getting from bed and out the door in 10 minutes or less. I know he didn’t get that idea from living here! But he is a good brainstormer, and I thank him for his great “shower” of wisdom….ya see what I did there? Did ya?

Warmest regards,

    This post cracked me up. I’ll be laughing about it the rest of the day! My husband can’t imagine why it takes me more than 15 minutes to be out the door.

    Ha! I completely agree with your husband. I cannot rationalize taking 20-40 minutes out of my day, every day to shower, dry my hair.. I shoot for 3 a week – sometimes 2. And, if my only option is an evening shower, I’ll pass. :-)

    Showers are a luxury here too! My hubby leaves for work super early, and I am NOT a morning person, do it is pretty rare for me to get a morning shower (which is when I prefer to have them). He gets a daily shower, I am usually every few days, and often in the evening. Nothing like going to bed with wet hair…-almost defeats the purpose of washing it! Lol

    When I’m in a rush, I skip shampooing- but I still take a quick shower :). I simply can’t leave home without doing it.

    I need to have a shower everyday, but there have been times when I’ve run an errand or two before getting the shower… :-/

    I don’t like wearing a ball cap because my hair is tapered in the back. So none of it stick out of a hat to look good. So wearing a cap doesn’t make me feel pretty or girlie. So I gotta do the whole shabang. I gotta have that shower no matter what. Night sweats :-( which by the way aren’t good for get up a go hair either.

    I have this debate – with *myself* – every day. This time of year in humid/hot Florida, taking a shower in the morning is pointless. So, I’m always in a hat. Mascara and some lip gloss can give the appearance that I didn’t JUST fall out of bed, so that helps. But I go to sleep freshly showered with nice, clean hair – that no one sees. Ha.

    I’m lucky if I get a shower in the morning. I take a shower before bed and that’s it. With three little ones have me up super early and showers are a major luxury around here.

    I take a shower everyday but I do not wash my hair daily! In fact, and please don’t judge me, I only wash it once a week…

    NOOOOOOO…….. Ok maybe ;)
    I shower mid day so if you see me before noon you are in for a treat!

    I don’t have the time to shower everyday! I guess I value my sleep too much, because I could technically get up before my husband and have time to shower before he left for work. Once he’s gone, it’s pretty impossible since my 2yo can unlock and open the front door. I don’t even trust him when he’s napping!
