Sticky, Sweet, & A Little Overdressed

1. How many products do you use to get ready in the a.m.?

My usual weekday routine includes: shampoo, conditioner, face scrub, body wash (4 for shower); deodorant, tangerine essential oil (2 post-shower); moisturizer, concealer, foundation, pressed powder, contour blush, highlight blush, loose powder, eyebrow pencil, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, lip moisturizer (13 for make-up); mousse, hairspray (2 for hair). 21 total for weekday mornings.

Oh, wait! And contacts first thing, so contact lens solution is involved. And then I brush my teeth right afterward, so I have to count the toothpaste. Make that 23.

On weekends, I typically skip several steps in the weekday make-up ritual and I put my hair up in a twist — no mousse or hair spray required. Call it 15, even though it varies.

2. What’s your can’t-live-without product of girliness?

Hmm. I don’t think of deodorant as a product of girliness, so I’ll assume that’s a given. Lipstick maybe.

3. How much time do you spend on girliness?

I head for the locker room sweaty and needing a shower between 7:15 and 7:25 and am usually at my desk anywhere between 8:00 and 8:20 — and that’s undressing, weighing myself, showering, doing full makeup and hair (including a good blow-drying), putting on jewelry, and dressing. So the total routine varies between 30 minutes and an hour. Girl talk in the locker room often slows me down.

4. What do you wear to feel even more girly?

Thongs, but usually only when I wear pants so there’s no Visible Panty Line.

5. What’s a secret girly thing you do?

None of it is secret anymore.
