One Week...

I hadn't been keeping track of my face washing before bed, but last week I spent the night at a friend's house unplanned and it was a notable face washing experience. Tonight I realized it'd been a week since the adventure.

Adventure.
Since it was an unplanned stay, I had none of my things. Normally, on occasions like this, I would just go to bed. However, it was now 4am, I'd been out since 930am, I had on a full face of makeup (a rarity these days)....I needed to wash my face!

Enter Bathroom...Not too much to be found in the way of grooming products. On the sink - some Jergens, mouthwash, cologne, liquid dial, deodorant.....no "facial wash" of any sort. In the shower - blue dial bar soap, toothpaste & 2-in-1 shampoo. *sigh*

I was then forced to choose between blue Dial bar soap or gold liquid dial...basically my choices were very drying soap or very drying soap (boys!) I went with the very drying liquid dial since it was at the sink. Then there's the moisturizing issue to battle the very drying soap. Amazingly enough my friend Talishia, who was on this adventure with me, for reasons unbeknownst to me had facial moisturizer in her purse. I also realized that I had some moisturizing facial spray in my bag. Yea!

In the morning, I inquired as to how "blue dial soap" friend washed his face and with what he moisturized his face. His reply, "Soap. I don't moisturize; I don't have skin problems." I guess because I live with a gay man, I've become spoiled. I know that even if it smells like boy, there will still be facial wash, facial scrub, and moisturizer to be found. If you're around on a good day, it may even contain an SPF. Gotta love the gays!

Anyway, the point of all that rambling was to say I'm on my way to completing #77, as I have washed my face for seven days in a row. 23 more days to go. Hopefully, no more of them will involve dial soap.....
