Truth be told, I used to hate showering. Yes of course I still showered daily, but I certainly didn’t look forward to it. Yes, I looked forward to “getting clean,” but the act of showering just felt annoying and like there were other things I wanted to be doing. I also have always had fairly long, thick hair so washing and conditioning my hair was work! My showers used to be super fast. I washed my face, my hair, my body, shaved, and then I was out. I was not one to ever hang out in the shower. I have friends who would just chill in the shower for upwards of 20-30 minutes. That was not me.
Until now.
I love showering. In fact, I look forward to my showers. And when I have to wash my hair I actually enjoy it!
All because of three little things.
3 Things You Need to Make Your Shower an Indulgent Experience
The three keys to not only enjoying your shower, but to also looking forward to your shower, are having the right shampoo, conditioner, and shower mist.
I know, it doesn’t sound like rocket science. And you’re right – it isn’t.
However, these things will make your shower experience that much more enjoyable!
Up until about a year or so ago, I liked my shampoo and conditioner, but I didn’t love my shampoo and conditioner.
And now I love it.
I started going to Full Blown Dry Bar soon after they opened (if you’re in the Houston area and want an amazing blowout, go there!), and they primarily use Oribe products, which made me so happy. I’m a long time user of Oribe’s Dry Texturizing Spray, but I had never tried their shampoos or conditioners until Full Blown.
Game. Changer.
From the smell to the sleek designs of the bottles to how it makes your hair feel, Oribe’s shampoo and conditioner are simply the best.
Yes, I know, Oribe is certainly a bit pricey. However, this is one area in which I am ok spending a bit more. I also don’t wash my hair every single day, so I really don’t go through the bottles all that fast. But oh my goodness, when I go to wash my hair, the instant I smell that Oribe smell, my shower experience immediately goes up a few notches.
And then, as I mentioned above, there’s the shower mist.
Have you ever used a shower mist? I had not up until several months ago when it arrived in an Amazon box at my door. Matthew had ordered it, and I have to admit, I totally made fun of him for it. Why does one need a shower mist?
But seriously, it’s now one of my favorite things ever!
And not just any shower mist, but you have to get the eucalyptus scent. You will be transported from your shower to a luxurious spa in no time.
You simply let your shower heat up before you get in it, then once you go in spray 3-4 sprays, and hellllllo heaven!
And, there you have it, those are the three ways I have turned a boring shower into an indulgent, luxurious experience.
Once you start using the aforementioned items you’ll feel like this girl.
