-Tame your eyebrows: Ugh I'd say every 3 or 4 months. I used to be really good about upkeep on my brows until I got my left one pierced when I was younger. Now I'm slowly getting back into the habit.

-Floss: I try to everyday, but as my friend said "starting a flossing habit is like quitting a smoking habit"
-Shower: I'm one of those weirdos that showers every other day (unless I've worked out) - when I shower too much, my skin goes nuts!! I can't apply lotion enough
