MY SHOWER ROUTINE

Is it weird to admit that I've been on a "shower kick" lately? I think it has to be weird... heh. If you're new here on the blog- I am a bath girl through and through. I live for a good bubble bath and take one religiously almost every single night. I always describe it as a cathartic process for me + it's been my way of relaxing and winding down before bed for years now. While I have always still showered too (lol-- things are getting progressively weirder), lately I've found myself showering more than the norm. It may or may not have something to do with all of this 90 degree whether we've been having here in TN and my journey experimenting with natural deodorants, lol. Have you had enough TMI yet??

On a totally random (but related) note, the shower fests have also transpired from me wanting to test out cold showers. It's more like adding a burst of cold in the shower. I think I briefly mentioned this a few posts back, but there is something called the Wim Hof Method that is involved cold therapy and breathing. It's purpose is to increase your overall immunity and health. When I get a shower, I try to spend the last minute the freezing cold water. It's also great for your hair! 

Alright on to the shower routine! I keep things pretty simple which is typically wash hair, shave + cleanse. Lately I've been testing out the Aveda Botanical Repair line. It's a plant-based haircare line that is suppose to help strengthen and repair damaged hair. I picked up the shampoo, conditioner + masque. So far I'm really happy with the results-- I definitely notice my hair is smoother and it seems to help tame some of the frizziness too. 

The shave + cleanse steps are currently the EOS Sensitive Skin Shave Cream, this Venus razor for sensitive skin + the St. Ives Shea Butter body wash. Easy peasy! Every once in awhile I'll also use the Josie Maran Sugar Scrub which is great. Love that it's clean + the vanilla scent is yummy. I usually apply the NĂ©cessaire Body Serum after I get out but it's nice for a little extra moisture + to seal everything in.
