Hello and happy Thursday.
Thursday is always my favorite day of the week, but today is a great Thursday because I’m spending it with Travis in one of our favorite places.
So, today’s post might seem kind of random, but when Jennifer shared what was in her shower, I loved that idea for a blog post.
The kids have their own full bathroom, but it’s the only space we haven’t updated in the house. They have a shower/bathtub, but once they outgrew baths, they just started showering in my bathroom.
So, because of that, we have plenty of products for all three of us…
For years, Travis has used the bathroom in the basement and leaves his clothes in the basement closet too whereas I use the primary bedroom closet and bathroom. Honestly, I think Travis pulled one over on me with the decision because most school day mornings, I’m upstairs fussing at the kids to get ready for school while he’s blissfully having a carefree morning getting ready in the basement…haha
Anyway, here’s a peek at what’s in my shower…
- Pureology– This is my favorite shampoo, and I’ve used it for years. Fun fact: I only wash my hair twice a week…and honestly don’t use dry shampoo very much. I used to wash my hair every other day, but I swear it must have been during the year at home /2020, I was just washing my hair less, and have continued that practice.
- CeraVe face wash- I’ve never been picky about my face wash, and a couple of years ago, Hadley mentioned that CeraVe was what all the girls were using…So that’s what we use too…Hayden, too, if he thinks about. (I hope!)
- Body wash – I always have some kind of body wash in the shower…usually something seasonal from Bath and Body Works…but this Brazil Nut Body Wash has been a fave Trader Joe’s find this summer.
- Conditioner – I used to use the purple Pureology conditioner, but felt like my hair needed something different. I don’t know if that’s a “thing,” but every few years, I feel like hair needs to switch things up, so I just use this Kristin Ess conditioner that I get at Target.
- Selsun blue – A few months ago, Landyn shared that her dermatologist suggested this for teens, not for itchy scalp, but to help with acne/oil. (see explanation below) So, Hayden uses it…because I told him to…haha So far, neither of my kids has had any real issues with breakouts, but I do encourage them to wash their face at least once a day. So, this isn’t used as face wash, but just hopefully as the sudsy water trickles down while washing hair, it can have skincare benefits.
- Shaving cream -I’m not picky about my shaving cream, but I do prefer gel shaving cream to foam.
- Bar soap– not pictured, but there’s always a bar of soap (usually Dove) in the shower.
- I’ve used Billie razors for three or four years. Hadley now uses them too. I know there are other options out there now, and some have said the Billie razor doesn’t seem the same, but I haven’t had any issues. To be honest, I shave my legs every day regardless. I’m telling you that I was eight months pregnant with twins and still finding a way to shave my legs every single day…so these razor blades have been working fine for me…but maybe that’s because I shave my legs daily anyway. I love that every couple months, I get a few new blades in the mail …and don’t have to buy razors at Kroger. We have a couple of travel holders too.
- Function of beauty– This is Hadley’s shampoo and conditioner of choice. She’s used it for about a year and a half. Have you heard of it? I’m not sure where else you can find it, but we get it at Target. You choose your shampoo and conditioner (Hadley uses wavy hair) and then add in your “booster shot” to the bottle. Not sure if it’s working, but Hadley has beautifully long hair…and uses the “lengthen” booster shot.
How pretty is this display? I knew I was going to write this post, and then was at Target and saw the display.
Overflow…
Since the kids and I share a shower, some things stay in the shower full-time (my stuff!), but I have a basket on the toilet where they grab what they need (usually their shampoo)
- Extra shave cream– There’s nothing worse than getting in the shower and realizing I’m out of something.
- Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer –Amy shared about this (I think back in the winter?) and I’ve used it ever since. I don’t use it as much as I did in the winter, but I love it. I get it at Target.
- Extra shower gel
- Body lotion –I love the Nivea Shea Daily Moisture Body lotion
- Air freshener
- Shampoo– I keep the Krisin Ess shampoo on standby if we need extra shampoo
- Hadley’s shampoo / conditioner – Function of Beauty
Anyway, this was kind of a random post, but I always love seeing what products people use and love.
What are your “go to” shower products?
