I had shower issues for a long time. It is better when I am working or out exercising or busy. I try for a shower every other day unless one is needed daily. I put it on my to do list so my boyfriend doesn't have to prompt me. I feel even better about it if I manage to get in there on my own. Having a squeaky clean shower and tub is important to me, I don't like bathing in a grimy space. Clean fluffy towels and a nice clean wash cloth. My favorite body wash being available. I'm a bath and body works person and have a particular scent I use so I gotta have that. Comfy clothes to get into when I'm done and everything ready for me. Brush, body lotion, deodorant, powder, pjs, whatnot. And I don't like being interrupted. Lol. Once I get into the shower I'm fine it's usually getting there that I get in trouble with. But I make sure I know I have to shower that day and get stuff done leading up to it and get the excuses out of the way and finally just get in there.

At night I also have a routine shower or not. I get out a fresh wash cloth, brush my teeth, wash my face, put on night moisturizing cream, then head to the bedroom and put lotion on my hands elbows and feet. Winter is so hard on my skin!!
I change my clothes when I shower, and if I go out and about. I'm one of those people who don't care about going out in my pjs unless it's something important like filling out job applications or an interview or something. Otherwise I'm in my pjs. Who cares? Lol.
