Today’s Question(s):
How many different cleansers, shampoos, conditioners, enhancers, lotions and unguents are part of your shower ritual?
Mine? One shampoo.
Do you use more, fewer or the same number of shower products as the others in your household?
Fewer than some.
When you travel, do you reduce the number of shower products you take with you, or do you take them all?
I take. Some fragrances make me sneeze. If the hotel shampoo has such a fragrance, I don't want to spend the trip sneezing from my own hair.

Extra Credit Question:
Do you prefer a glorious sunrise or a spectacular sunset? Why?
If I have to choose one over the other?

I'll take the sunset because the colors are usually more numerous and bolder.

Bonus Question:
Have you ever taken a family portrait?
Sure.
If you have, how recently did you have it taken?
Been a while since anything formal. Otherwise just home photography.
If you haven’t, do you plan to get one done in the future?
Not at present.
Is there anyone in your family who can be relied upon to make a face, stick out a tongue or put “bunny ears” on someone else any time the camera comes out?
Yes. I have been guilty of that type of thing myself when younger.

Just for Fun:
How many icons do you have on your computer screen?
44
How many of those icons are ones you use regularly?
About 10

Hope your day makes you want to sing and dance.

Do you use more, fewer or the same number of shower products as the others in your household? No others in my household.

When you travel, do you reduce the number of shower products you take with you, or do you take them all? I take them all, but in smaller, travel-sized, containers.


Extra Credit Question:

Do you prefer a glorious sunrise or a spectacular sunset? A spectacular sunset

Why? I'm not a morning person!


Bonus Question:

Have you ever taken a family portrait? Nope

If you have, how recently did you have it taken?

If you haven’t, do you plan to get one done in the future? Nope. I have plenty of normal photos of my daughter and me.

Is there anyone in your family who can be relied upon to make a face, stick out a tongue or put “bunny ears” on someone else any time the camera comes out? Not since my daughter was little!


Just for Fun:

How many icons do you have on your computer screen? Too many to count

How many of those icons are ones you use regularly? About half a dozen.

Have a great week everyone!

Is there anyone in your family who can be relied upon to make a face, stick out a tongue or put “bunny ears” on someone else any time the camera comes out? Nope

Today’s Question(s):

How many different cleansers, shampoos, conditioners, enhancers, lotions and unguents are part of your shower ritual?
I try to keep it simple but I have very curly hair so I am always trying some new shampoo or conditioner to manage my curls. Other then that I have a generic body wash that I love the smell..a leave-in conditioner for my hair a foot scrub and a mixture of 1 to 2 of lotion and baby oil just before I get out.

I am the only one that showers in my home...

I take them all

A spectacular sunset..

Because I am awake enough to fully enjoy it.

Not for a very long time...1995??

Probably not..can't get them all together at the same time. My children are very spread out.
Is there anyone in your family who can be relied upon to make a face, stick out a tongue or put “bunny ears” on someone else any time the camera comes out?
Yes, all of them except the youngest..she is reserved and wouldn't think of doing such a thing.

Great QOTD MWBookworm so glad I made the first page of your first day!!! Have a wonderful week everyone!!

[wisconsin woman]

We have one bar soap one liquid soap, a shampoo and one conditioner. No need for a million bottles...

When traveling, just small bottles of shampoo and conditioner.
Yes, Ive been in family portraits.

There are probably about 23 icons on this laptop.
And heres to cake decorating day!

[studedude]

Today’s Question(s):

How many different cleansers, shampoos, conditioners, enhancers, lotions and unguents are part of your shower ritual?
Just a bottle of the cheapest shampoo I can find. I don't know if I use a unguent. That should have been the word of the day

Do you use more, fewer or the same number of shower products as the others in your household?
Nancy always had her hair done by others so we just had mine.

When you travel, do you reduce the number of shower products you take with you, or do you take them all?
And there you have the reason for long lines at airports. Why would you take anything? Hotels have shampoo, conditioner and lotion. I don't know about unguents but most destinations have stores to buy what you need. Ship leftovers back. you're going to need them eventually anyway.


Extra Credit Question:

Do you prefer a glorious sunrise or a spectacular sunset?

This is the sun setting at Sunset Beach, Cape May NJ. We vacationed there every year when I was a kid. The thing sticking out of the bay is a concrete ship that ran aground there. It looked like this when I was a kidd

Why?
Not many nights I have had to wake up to see the sunset


Bonus Question:

Have you ever taken a family portrait?
Yes

If you have, how recently did you have it taken?

If you haven’t, do you plan to get one done in the future?

Is there anyone in your family who can be relied upon to make a face, stick out a tongue or put “bunny ears” on someone else any time the camera comes out?


Just for Fun:
