Today: Show(er) and Tell
I pride myself on showering at least once daily. That’s all. Thanks for reading. Hope you have a great day. Since I don’t have a medicine cabinet for you to peruse, I thought I’d let you snoop through my shower.
I might still be a bit of a product junky, but I’ve made great strides in paring down my morning routine. In just over an hour, I somehow manage to take the dog out, shower, apply moisturizer and makeup, blow dry my hair, put on a not entirely awful outfit, feed the dog, make my lunch and take the dog out once more. And then I wake up Nick. 🙂 Just kidding. Clark wakes him up as soon as he has the chance.
Here are the magical potions that make all that possible:
Let’s see… what have we here? Looks like someone ran out of their favorite shampoo, walked to CVS, came down with a mild case of amnesia, and bought the wrong kind. Whoops. I swear by Aveeno. They can do no wrong. Origins, too. The Clean Girls body wash was an impulse buy at Target, but I rather like it. Very moisturizing, super inexpensive, bonus points for the pump. As a sensitively skinned person (pardon my poor grammar, I was never skinned, sensitively or otherwise), I tend to shy aware from fragranced products, but neither the rooty-tooty-fresh-and-fruity shave gel nor Lush’s Ring of Roses (part of an awesome set from my parents) seem to bother me. Quite the opposite, really.
Surprise! A pesky bobby pin circling the drain. To know me, is to love me. And to love me, is to find a wake of bobby pins left in my path. Those little guys do wonders to tame my flyaways. But sometimes, they flyaway themselves.
Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who clearly was at a loss for what to write about today?
P.S. Don’t forget, bidding starts today (Wednesday) at The Chic Life’s Online Bake Sale for Haiti! Help Haiti, eat goodies.

Glad to see I’m not the only one with an addiction for products. I have so much more than what I see in your picture that maybe I should go to face cream rehab.

I have figured out how to get ready in 30 minutes or less. That’s crazy. yetit works. I sometime have to skip the mascara…but there’s always stopping for red lights that allows for that. NOW…if I could just figure out how to get my hubby up and out the door in less than two hours. TWO HOURS!! Can you believe it? What is he DOING in there? Maybe I don’t wanna know. ICLW

I too am a bit of a product junkie. The look my husband gives me every time I bring something new never gets old… of course after being together for 16 years you’d think he would already be used to it..

That doesnt look like too many products at all. I recently found out my husband has been using my clinique that was odd… 🙂 His face looks great though!

I thought I was going to virtually slap you when I read the part about what you do in the morning in ONE hour!!!
I can barely get my eyes open, let my dogs out, shower and do my moisturizing and make up in one hour!!! Nevermind actually Blow Dry my hair! And make lunch??? That’s what Subway is for! lol!
Great post! I hope to get a Show & Tell post of my own up some day.. I just never remember when Wednesday comes around.. =)
Happy ICLW!

I’m a LUSH junkie. I love their bath bombs and shower gels and solid shampoos. Unfortunately, I don’t get to stock up unless I travel abroad to a store. I therefore try to make them last as long as possible…
