NBR: Showers
Settle an argument for me. Assume you are home for several days, let's say 2-4. You have nowhere impressive to be, maybe just a run to Target or to the grocery store, but otherwise you're lounging. How often do you shower?

As little as possible. Likely only if I can smell myself.

Re: NBR: Showers
This! My hair is just fine in a greasy, messy bun if I'm just at home.

I hate showers. I have long hair that takes forever to dry. I would honestly never step foot in a shower if it didn't get me clean.

My H will shower several times a day. When he gets up, after work (he works construction, so this I get), and after the gym. He'll shower after being somewhere dusty or after a haircut because it bothers him.
I shower daily, even if I'm not going anywhere. If I wear my hair curly, I have insane second-day hair and have to wash it and let it air-dry. If I do a blow-out, I'll shower but not wash my hair for several days.
I have thick hair that takes awhile to air dry before I put a hair dryer to it when I dry it straight. Thank goodness for shower caps on my non-wash days! DH doesn't hate showers but if he's feeling lazy and wants to sleep later or just takes too long walking up in the morning he'll skip a shower. I don't always shower on the weekends if I don't leave my house so I can't really say anything.

But I do have a bath. Every single day.

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."
- Neil Gaiman
Married Bio
When I went back to work after maternity leave, I started showering at night out of necessity - there just isn't enough time in the morning, and I'm completely unwilling to get up any earlier than I do - but I've come to really prefer it. There's something about going to be clean that I really love. But when we have somewhere to go on a weekend night - like to a party or on a date or something, there is definitely something to be said for showering and blowing out my hair and generally "getting ready" to go out, too.
