My hair routine. I use a comb only with very few teeth and brush my hair gently. I use aloe Vera shampoo. I’m trying to preserve my hair from falling out. Whilst on my higher dose of abilify.
I keep my goatee trimmed with scissors down to stubble about once a month, then I trim my eyebrows, they grow fast. don’t want bushy eyebrows. shower about three times a week, do isometrics, walk outside a lot…brush my teeth morning and night and shave about every third day.
I do some writing. It helps. I used to do a little exercise, but not so much anymore. The doctor told me my triglycerides were a “little high”. I think he was engaging in understatement. I’ve been consuming tons of sugar, and my triglycerides are probably sky high.
I just bought a satin pillow case— apparently it’s better for your hair and skin than traditional cotton (or so the interwebs say ).
I also try to take nice showers when I can and use body oils or lotion afterwards.
Makeup to me is a form of self care, so on days I’m feeling up to it, I like to put some on and it makes me feel a little more put together and confident.
I also like to use perfumes— I think scent can be very powerful in lifting and changing one’s mood, so I like to spritz a little perfume on myself. Also helps cover up my smelly self when I haven’t showered in a bit .
