If I didn’t have places to be, I’d take several showers a day. Few things on this earth are more comforting, energizing, and straight-up blissful than a hot shower (and I mean hot—so scalding that romantic showers will never be a thing because the water feels, my husband says, like fire rain). I live in a charmingly rickety walk-up in Bushwick with a rickety water heating system, which means sometimes my shower doesn’t get as steamy as I’d like. When the water does come out piping hot, it’s day-making.
Back home, I get in the shower and complete as much of my routine in there as possible. I wash my hair once a week, so I’m obsessed with shower caps. There’s a special place in my heart for the old-school, gigantic drugstore ones I grew up using, but the one I use now is not-at-all embarrassing and very ’70s Bianca Jagger. You wouldn’t have to pay me to wear it outside.
