Rubber Ducky, You're the One!
When I think of showering or bathing, I always think of the song Rubber Ducky, You're the One! Would the current generation of children even recognize that song?! Do you remember what the song is from? I also always think of Harry potter!! What exactly is the function or a rubber duck!!!?? Such a valid question!
Now that I shower at night, my showering routine has changed a ton! Before I was working I would take my dear sweet time and shower in the morning. Now showering at night is how I star my bedtime routine (which sadly starts at like 7:30!) In my defense though, I have to wake up at 5:00am! Since I've been trying out some new products recently, I thought I would notify you guys on what products I do use in the shower!? Is that TMI? Honestly... I love knowing these kinds of things about other people. Is that weird? Its like when you go to visit someone you just want to go through all of the drawers and look and see what they have/use! Am I the only one that wants to do that?! Luckily I also have a fear that if I look, the host/hostess will recognize that something was touched! Lastly... I also recognize that the act of looking into people's cupboards is creepy, so I don't actually do it! I also must preface this post with this: Josh and I use almost the same products in the shower. It may seem like we have a lot, but we both use them, so we tend to go through things quickly! The only thing Josh will not touch is my body wash and lotion!
Let me know if you have tried any of the products that I mention and what products you use in the shower!? I'm definitely interested in a more natural routine, but I have quite a few products that I need to use up before I go out and buy any other products! Also!! Even though I mention multiple products of one category, that doesn't mean that I use them every day! For instance, I own multiple face washes, but I rotate on which ones I use on a daily basis! My skin is really sensitive and picky, so I have to switch my main products around depending on the day! Well, lets get into it!!
St Ives Apricot Scrub: Most likely you have heard of this face wash! I have been using since middle school, and that has been like 10+ years!! I really like it because it helps clear my blemished skin, and helps me get all the gunk off! It is an exfoliate, and a pretty intense one, so it is great to use when I feel like my skin really needs a deep clean! I use this 1-2x a week depending on how my skin feels! You definitely don't want to use this everyday though, or your skin will feel pretty raw. I feel like this face wash helps a lot though, and I really enjoy the way that it makes my skin feel.
Body Works and splurged!! We had a 20% off coupon, some of the stuff was already 50% off, and we had a buy three get three free coupon! Lets just say we bought a lot and we had our birthday and Christmas presents covered. This was one of the body washes that I wanted to try!! I would never buy a product from Bath and Body Works without a coupon or two! I like the smell of this product, but it isn't my favorite. It does the job and helps me feel clean and smell good, but I don't notice the smell for very long. I love trying the different scents because I'm a big fan of things that smell good, but I like the feeling of more hydrating body washes like Dove. The positive thing is that these last a lot longer than you would think! I've been using mine since about half way through November and I still have a little bit to go.. I'm thinking it will last me through February. That's not too bad.
Brazilian Keratin Therapy Shampoo/Conditioner: I LOVE THIS SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER! I know that this is pricey compared to the other shampoos/conditioners at the store... but I have been using this brand since High School! I'll be honest though... my mom normally buys these for me or gives them to me for Christmas, so I don't actually buy shampoo or conditioner very often. I LOVE MY PARENTS! I love the way that these shampoos make my hair feel, smell, and everything! I go through the shampoos in a few months (4-6 months), but the conditioner for Josh and I lasts for 6+ months! They are super great, and I will stay true to this company for a long time! I'm afraid to try anything else because I like the Brazilian keratin therapy so much! I've tried other shampoos and conditioners from them as well, and they are just as fantastic.
Clean and Clear: Hydrating Facial Cleanser: This has been a moderately recent purchase for Josh and I since I've been struggling with some "dryish" skin, and I have really been enjoying it. It smells terrific, cleans my skin well, and really helps hydrate my face. Josh and I really like the different cleansers from clean and clear, and we switch out which one we are using. We especially enjoy the night time one that they sell as well! They're probably not the best for you Eco-friendly wise, but they are awesome, and I've also been using this brand since middle school. I've never had any issues with this brand, so I continue to purchase!
Philosophy: Purity Facewash: I love this face wash! I understand that this brand is pricey as well.. but let me explain! I've always wanted to try philosophy, and around my birthday they were bringing out the gift sets at Sephora! I saw one that was wasn't too expensive, had a ton of products, and had this face wash in it! I had a 15% off coupon as well, so Josh bought the set for me for Christmas!! I'm such a lucky girl! I love this face wash after a long day at work when I need a little help with washing off my makeup! The exfoliate from st ives is great, but this face wash is gentle and seems to just melt my makeup off which is really nice! After the shower where I use this face wash, I don't look as much like a racoon as I normally do. It also makes your skin feel very silky smooth!
A Loofah: Talking about loofahs totally makes me think about when the girl from legally blond goes to visit her friend in prison and brings a goodie bag with magazines and loofahs! haha ENDORPHINS MAKE YOU HAPPY, AND HAPPY PEOPLE JUST DON'T KILL THEIR HUSBANDS!

Kate Somerville: ExfoliKate: I actually got this face wash in a Fab Fit Fun box, and I really like it. It is bright green, makes my face tingle, it smells really nice, and it really helps my skin feel brand new! I use this about once a week if I feel like my face needs something a little heavier than my normal exfoliating wash. I would normally not buy this brand because it is so expensive, but it has been fun to get to use!
YOU REACHED THE END! You might see these products and think that I shower for a long time, but normally I shower for about eight minutes, so not horrible! I do wash my hair everyday, but I also don't use any heat or any other products in my hair! On another note, I was going to add the different lotions that I commonly use after the shower, but I decided that was going to be a little too much, and I think that y'all would probably judge me!!! I'm a big fan of self care products... and things that smell good... and let's be honest I'm a girly girl in that way!
Hopefully you enjoyed this post! Let me know what products you use in your routine, and let me know what products you have been using since middle school!? I'll bee seeing you next week!
