When I came here from Europe I was appauled at how poor American's hygiene was. Friends didn't shower regulary or wash their hair and they kept their room/house nasty and filthy.

I have to agree here - Italians I've known are VERY clean - way more than I am. They will get up from the dinner table and start vacuuming - always cleaning, sterilizing, etc.

Crazy cat lady!

Does anyone take a break when they are upset? Like when the cat is mad and doesn't clean himself?

I had a year abroad in college in Germany, and rented room from family who had built bookshelv

People who shower everyday can tell when they are around people who don't. Think about it--everyone has worked with someone who stinks, right?

This more or less.

Every day, and after every workout. So sometimes twice a day if I shower in the morning but work out in the evening. But in that case the second shower is just a rinse.

Daily in summer and anytime I work out. Every other day in winter, or my skin and hair suffer.

It isn't like I skip teeth brushing, too.

same here.my skin and hair get dry if i shower too much...its not good for you or for the environment. I shower more often in the summer...when ever my skin and hair need it...often daily or every other day at mosy. In the winter it is more like every other or every third day. But ultimately it' s as needed whether thats twice a day or twice a week. I brush my teeth, wear deodorant and body spray to freshen up. Also i almost always shower at night.

not really.

i come from a tropical country and there we have to shower 2x sometimes 3x a day. here? meh... unless it's summer.

Yes, and regardless of what an individual thinks, I can tell when someone hasnt showered. Its a certain smell (kind of sour and stale but faint) and a certain look to the skin and hair. I feel repulsive when I dont shower every morning.

Yes, I shower each and every day, and so does DH. Thank goodness.

DH and I both shower at night, so I would feel extra gross in the morning if I skipped a day...!

Every morning. I look and feel gross before a shower.
