Morning:

- Brush hair that has been plaited during the night, or it will be impossible to brush once I've showered. A good comb and brush set makes a world of difference when trying to maintain long hair. And yes, Mason Pearson brushes really are worth it. My family have had ours since before I was born, and I'm first now getting a new one though you probably can make do with just a detangling comb from Body Shop if you have hair that is allowed to look a bit messy.

- Shower: Scrub if I shave. Wash with a soap (I have a whole jar full of small samples, that I'm slowly using up). Wash hair with whatever I am trying at the moment. Right now it is a no silcone, paraben or SLS shampoo from Urtekram developed for those with allergies. Condition my hair with the conditioner of the moment (American Cream) but my favourite is the Banana Conditioner from Bodyshop. When I shave, I use shaving cream, brush and shaving cup combined with a Gilette Fusion razor, nothing beats a classical wet shave simply no matter what part of the body we are talking about. Though, wish I could see without my glasses in the shower!

- Teeth: toothbrush, toothpaste. You know the drill. ;)

- Face: Tea Tree Water from Lush, followed by shaving (use the same as for my legs), followed by misting with Crisp Apple Hydrating mist from GoW, a mixture of Honey HA Serum from Garden of Wisdom, Lush's Grease Lightning and a few drops of safflower oil (for the evening) or just GoW meow, meow facial lotion for the morning.

- Body: I use the Go Fresh deodorant in Green Tea and Cucumber from Dove (the best I've ever had, save the slightly overpowering, sweet scent). I don't really like the aluminium in the deodorant, but since winter is rolling around I have to have something that works underneath those warm sweaters and the natural alternatives I've tried just don't cut it.

- Half an hour of make-up application. Usually, I begin with Perfecting Powder from Silk Naturals, followed with foundation also from SN, then my concealer from MAC and blush. I set my face with Perfecting Powder applied with a washable powder puff. Then I do my eyes, beginning with primer (TFSI or UDPP, they are equal in my opinion), a wash of light colour, a highlight colour for my tearduct, dark eye liner on upper lashes, mascara and white eye liner for my water line. I finish my everyday look with my black label lip balm from SN, or the perfect nude Warm Me Up from Mac (sadly, limited edition, but so far is the only lipstick that sticks to my lips and instantly pulls my whole look together).

Evenings:
- Face, I begin with a few drops of oil to dissolve my make-up, then I wash it off with whatever cleanser I'm trying at the moment. I've yet to find my HG cleanser. Then I repeat the morning process. Sometimes I do acids and masks, or the OCM depending on how my skin is feeling.

- Teeth.

- Hair, I braid it.

Finished for bed!

Whenever I remember:
- Feet. I begin with filing them, using Scholls foot rasp which up to date is the best I've used. I follow with a foot bath, as often as I actually manage to pull myself together. I love foot baths. Especially using Geo Pyzz from Lush. Problem is it is a pain cleaning the one I've got. I've found I need at least half an hour, but preferably up to an hour, for my calluses to really become soft. Usual bathing salt works great too in a foot bath. No need to buy special foot salts etc. When all soft, I use a ceramic foot file, put on lotion, socks and go to bed.
