good day.

yesterday when i was in the shower, i couldn't remember the last time i washed my hair.

while sleep deprivation is the reality we all hear about, my issue is my utter lack of grooming. of course, that is a direct result of sleep deprivation. but i find sometimes an entire day goes by and i realize, as i'm giving the baby a bath, that i haven't even looked in the mirror all day.

thankfully, the short haircut pretty much looks the same whether i style it or not, but my skin is a mess, it's all splotchy and weird-looking, i have permanent raccoon eyes, and my hands are so dry they are literally peeling.

so i've decided to re-implement some kind of beauty routine into my day. it's harder now because i don't always get up, shower or dress every day at the same time. but i'm about to be 40 and if i don't start now, i might actually start looking my age. and that would suck.
