Sunday Stealing: Bathroom Break

 I'm in between sessions at the Melbourne Writer's Festival today, so I'm taking the opportunity to get the questions out of the way. The Irish writer, Marian Keyes was an absolute delight and I'm off to see Kaliane Bradley once I've had some lunch. Never heard of Kaliane Bradley - she wrote this wonderful book called The Ministry of Time. It's a genre bending novel. Plastic Mancunian, if you're reading this, you might enjoy it. 

Anyway, here goes the questions, provided, as always by Sunday Stealing. Oh, and some of these are a little personal. 

1. Do you shampoo once or lather, rinse and repeat?

I generally wash my hair once a week but rinse it out most days. When it gets washed, normally on a Friday morning, I shampoo twice, the second time with about half the amount of shampoo. If it's an interim wash, then I'll only use the shampoo once. 

2. Do you use conditioner a) daily, b) when you need it, c) never?

Conditioner - every, single time after shampooing, then some leave in conditioner products during the week. My hair is coloured. It needs the extra help. 

3. What's your shaving cream preference: foam or gel?

I don't shave. I get my legs waxed. No preference. 

4. Is your toothbrush manual or electric?

I have an electric toothbrush - and a travel electric toothbrush, although for overseas trips I'll go back to the manual one - less to lug around. 

5. Dental floss, soft picks, neither or both? 

I have both dental floss and picks, but I confess, I don't floss as often as I should. 

6. Do you use mouthwash a) daily, b) when you need it, c) never?

Mouthwash only gets used when needed - like after a garlicky meal or when I have a cold. I do have a small bottle in my toiletries bag for when I travel. 

7. Are there magazines in your bathroom?

No. Nowhere to put them. 

8. Is there bar soap or liquid soap on your bathroom sink? 

I have some liquid soap on the bathroom sink. I love this stuff - the Ovidio Vetiver, Patchouli and Hemp handwash. I love it's earthy yet clean smell. I love vetiver regardless. 

9. What kind of soap is in your shower?

I love all sorts of different smells, and I have both shower gel and soap in the shower. Currently the bar of soap smells like peaches. I've also got some Endota shower gel and a lovely Aveda one in there as well. I like having options. 

10. Now for the most important question: does the toilet paper drape over or under?

Definitely over, drape to the front. It's in the patent, as Sheldon Cooper pointed out. 

I'm one of those people who turn the roll around if it's on the wrong way. It doesn't matter where I am, if it's not right, then it has to be corrected.
