A bath in winter is great for exfoliating, shaving and pedicures.

I slept in my makeup last night. Regret. I was peeling my lashes apart when I woke up. Bigger regret: the fact I had a facial yesterday and I just undid all that good work. Ugh. So nasty.

I think the not shaving legs in winter is me and also not washing my hair enough, sometimes it's just too cold to wash it by the time I get a chance to at night in the winter time.

I don't shave my legs in winter, I dry shave and I pick my nail polish off when it starts to chip.

Yikes, some of these are a bit scary. My worst habit is probably biting the skin around my nails. I used to be a nail biter years ago, now I just stick to the skin.

I've been bad with zits in the past but I have more self control these days. Plus I don't get so many zits so it's a bit easier that way too! Pheww!
