    pretty good actually..better than I've been in the past lol
    I'm kind of bad about brushing my teeth (although i usually get around to it atleast five times a week), but I usually wear everything only once (i have enough clothes to wear a different thing every day for like two months so it would be stupid to keep re-wearing smelly stuff). And I shower daily now that my henna has washed off. I'm really oily so i just feel really gross and full of b-o if i don't shower everyday.

    Hah :)

    I used to be much much dirtier. I'm just trying to take advantage of the free water/electricity/washing machines that college offers.

    Back in the summer when I worked at the greenhouse I'd rarely shower.

    because in he 60s, it was common for large groups to live together in less than sanitary conditions.
    letting go of the parents' concepts of cleanliness was part of turning collective backs on the System.

    It's alright. I wash my hair and have a bath every two days; brush my teeth every day and night; brush my retainer every day and night; change my clothes when they get dirty; brush my hair every day.

    Oh and this reminded me of a story of Louis XIV, the Sun King who wouldn't wash himself because back then, they believed that low poor people washed. So he had a horrifying case of fungus and one day, when taking off his sock, his little toe stayed inside. [​IMG]

    I swim/shower about everyday or alternate day even when on the road, all my hygene cleaner stuff is natural and organic... I brush my teeth three times a day or more.... depending on if I smoke alot of cigs or not. Clothes, I rewear them until they start to smell... then to the brig with them! A razor however I do lack... I use natural extract oil for scents/perfume..... grapefruit, clove, sage and pachoulli are my favvies.

    I shower every 3-4 days, I do wash my arm pits and face more often then that, almost every day. I only shower every 3-4 days because i do not want to wash my hair too often, its almost a meter long and it can get damaged from too much washing so I need to take care of it.
    I do wash my hands whenver I enter my house though, but I think its more then enough this way.

    I shower evry 4 days or so, or if theres something special going on that requires a shower. Clothes honestly arent washed to often, but i do wash my face and brush my teeth every day. I feel most comfortable this way.

    I have braces on my teeth :l so everytime I eat, there's a whole heap a shit stuck in them :p so I brush my teeth after every meal, except when I'm at school
    I shower every 2nd day, sometimes every day, and wash my hair when I shower. But it depends, in summer I shower for a couple of minutes every day, coz i feel really clammy and sweaty. And if my hair is dirty, I'll wash it, it looks really bad when its really greasy :S

    and i wash my face every day, otherwise i get pimples :p and shave every couple of days

    i dont think im unhygienic or anything :p my mum is an extremely clean person, and so if im wearring clothes that aren't 'fresh' (but smell fine, according to me :p) then i have to put them in the wash :p

    but i never brush my hair :p it looks fine, and whenever i brush it all my hair gets pulled out because of the tangles...mehhh

    peace and love
    Jane

    I shower everyday and brush everyday (at least twice, when I wake up and before bed). My hair's conditioned everyday but shampooed every other day. I use olive oil soap. So I'd say I have good hygiene. Clothes are a whole different story. I wear the same articles of clothing over and over, mainly to avoid paying for the laundry machines at my college (or art school, whatever you prefer). When the clothing starts to get a noticeable smell then I wash them.

    Good tip to get clothes to last longer: just scrub the armpits with some water, maybe spray a bit of deodorant on there as well. Leave to dry for an hour or so and presto.
    Or just hand wash, but that gets tedious.

    ditto for me! I tend to think of myself as a clean hippie!
