I tend to do things only when I notice - i.e. recoil in horror at my hairy armpits and run for the razor.

My dad, on the other hand, has shaved every Wednesday and Sunday ever since I can remember. He lives by routine.

I will usually shower everyday, shave every second day, do a face mask 1-2 times a week, do a hair mask once a week...
I also put lotion on after every shower and clanese my face in the shower too.
And I try and paint my nails once a week, give or take a day.

Shape/ buff/ shine my nails once a week and apply cuticle oil, every few days I'll use a nail pen on the tips, Boots Botanics cleanser twice a day, then the face mask twice a week (it's really gross to see the gunk it pulls out of my skin). That's the routine I have, if there's something else (like shaving) that I have to do, I'll do it when I feel like it, or really need it.

I'll use my St. Ives facial scrub every day in the shower (better than using a dirty washcloth) and I'll usually try to do laundry on Sundays...although the laundry room here gets so packed I end up doing it on Monday instead.

I do most things only when i need to...the hair removal thingy will take place every fortnight, or if i am wearing something that calls for it.. whichever is earlier.
the trimming of brows is a once a month thingy...
the manicures and pedicures are DIY (weekly) and the salon ones (monthly or if i feel like it)
I use a biological peel for my face every other night.
other than these, i guess i dun have an exact routine. i dun need to shave my legs, nor do i need to exfloliate my skin etc.... i am lucky that way.
as for laundry, once a week.. or twice if i am sorted colors.

The only ritual I have is that every morning I get up, put the water on to heat, and make coffee. While it is heating I go to the bathroom and wash my face. I then drink 2 cups while watching Oprah, and then proceed to wander into my office to begin work. This routine only varies if I wake up earlier than usual, in which case I will take a nice hot bath first.

every morning I wake up, take the dog out and feed him, get in the shower shampoo/condition/facewash/bodywash....then put lotion on my body right after the shower...then brush my teeth and blow dry my hair.....i only shave every few days when the stubble starts getting bad....i only paint my nails when i feel like it (i have bare nails most of the time) and i never do anything crazy like a face mask.....i guess im more free-spirited

I'm definitely go with the flow. I do things when they need to be done. The only ritual I have is washing my face and brushing my teeth twice a day.

I do what needs to be done when it needs to be done. I have apretty complicated hair washing schedule that my new stylist gave me. Wash, wait a day, push oils from you roots down while in the however, wait another day, and finally wash again. I thought waiting that long was gross, but my hair (and my color) has never looked better.

Laundry/food shopping/cleaning/nail painting are always on sunday. Other than that- I just do stuff when I remember. Especially shaving. Which does tend to get ugly lol

Other than feeding my kitties at the same time everyday I'm pretty laid back as far as a beauty routine. It all gets done when it needs to but sometimes things aren't a necessity on certain days so a schedule wouldn't really work for me.

I shower every evening and wash my hair/shave daily.
I feed the cat every morning and evening and go to the gym at least once every other day.

I wash and condition my hair everyday, shave the pits everyday. shave my legs every few days unless it's summer and then every other day.

Laundry i do on saturday or sunday. Unless something needs to be done during the week.

I shower/wash my hair and shave everyday. I run almost every morning and go to the gym 3 nights a week after work. Oh, and every Thursday my boyfriend and I get burritos from this DELICIOUS healthy burrito place down the street. One of the few places you can get healthy food in Philly! But that's more of an enjoyment thing that a maintainance thing...

I have to shower and wash my hair every day! Anything else is on an as-needed basis.

I guess my "routine" is just shower every day, wash hair every other day, shave every other day, and I have two kinds of face wash, so I alternate them.

I grocery shop every Monday afternoon.

I do laundry every Wednesday.

I wash my face, floss, and brush my teeth 1-2 times daily.

Everything else is as needed.

What can I say? I find my routine highly comforting!

this is interesting i will check back later and read what everyone says!

i don't really have a "routine" but i always have to wash my face and brush my teeth before bed, and i shower and wash my hair every morning.

I'm a real naturalist so I only bathe when the bed sores start to ooze.

Every other Saturday (right after payday), I go food shopping, pay my bills, and on Sundays I do my once every two weeks dinner outing with the bf.

On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday I wake up early to do an hour of yoga. On Friday I write my weekly story, and on Sunday's I do my reading hw and editing hw.

Other than that, the rest of the stuff I do is on a need-be basis. Whenever thigns pile up or I happen to get a patch of free time, I will do something.

I told my mom that I only wash my hair every other day to every 2 days and she thought I was crazy!

LilPeaPod, there is nothing wrong with that. It is a common misconception (especially among Caucasians) that there is something wrong with not washing your hair everyday. That only destroys your hair. Your hair has natural oils that take care of your scalp. If you wash it all the time, it will just be a dry mess(with or without heavy product weighed on top of it).

I was told by my dermatologist to wash my hair everyday to keep the oils/dandruff/etc. from falling onto my face that caused my pimples. I don't do this anymore since I rarely have them anymore, but I wash maybe every 2 to 3 days.

And I think it weird that my grandmother washes her hair once a week. ONCE A WEEK!

I have to wash my hair every day or the oil builds up and I think it looks just awful. A lot of people can do it...just not me. Not that I mind, I love freshly washed hair..it's so pretty. ;D

I have to shower every morning. Otherwise I will never wake up. And I wash my hair everyday. And of course wash my face and brush my teeth. The days that I have to work I will put mascara on. Otherwise I do nothing but apply a sunscreen lotion to my face. And in the winter I might shave my legs every 2 months. lol, I'm lucky to have a boyfriend who doesn't care about things like that!

Not a set one! Does she have any tips for getting that going?

i try to get one going but i never can stick with a routine!

I don't have a set routine, but I do shower or bath every day. If my hair is super dry I will wash it every other day, but normally it's an everyday thing. My favorite thing is to take showers with my bf. We don't get to very often but it's nice when we do. No naughty stuff...just normal shower stuff, but more fun!

wow... maybe i should start a routine.. would prob make my life a lot more organize lol
but no i dont have a routine. shower everyday, try and wash hair every other instead of everyday cause my pink will fade hehe annnnd shaving my legs baaahh hate it but try to do it when i notice they are gross... summer i shave more lol but yeah painting toes and such i do when needed lol but now i'm considering a routine since i hear all you ladies talk lol
