Hygiene & Hair washing (and daily water use tally)

Day 10 already!

Just for those who may be curious, I am still maintaining a healthy level of personal hygiene. I'm not covering it up with perfume or anything. haha



I also haven't been running marathons, though. I've thought about jogging since it's getting nice out. I should do that and bathe afterwards and see if the same amount of water still does a good enough job...


  [Update: Originally, I had done the math to tally 3 day's worth of water consumption, and when a website glitch lost it all, I was so frustrated I didn't have the energy to do it all again. So here it is now.]


March 6

·         4 oz wash face & brush teeth = 0.118 L

·         1/3 c water added to juice from concentrate = 0.079 L

·         1 cup water = 0.25 L

·         4 cups water boiled (my kettle has a 1L minimum setting, which sucks!), of which I only drank 2 cups... (tea) = 1 L

·         Flush @ home = 5.527 L (6L – 473mL)

·         3 oz wash hands = 0.089 L

·         4 oz wash face & brush teeth = 0.118 L
