I realize that I am pretty high maintenance emotionally, but I have always thought of myself as pretty low maintenance as far as my beauty routine goes.  Maybe not.  I came to the discovery this morning that it takes me 20 beauty items to get ready in the morning.  Here it is in order:

1. Shampoo
2. Conditioner
3. Face wash
4. Body wash
(out of shower)
5. Q-tip
6. Deodorant
7. Moisturizer
8. Eye cream
9. Foot lotion (this cool stuff from Israel that my mom brought me)
10. Body lotion
11. Body splash (fragrance)
(get dressed)
12. Pre-rinse
13. Toothpaste
14. Mouthwash
15. Foundation
16. Blush
17. Lip stick
18. Hair gel A (for curls)
19. Hair gel B (anti-frizz)
20. Hair spray

Now I am ready to go out the door.

I figured this crap is all worth about $200 (well, that's what it cost me..."worth" is a separate issue).  

Maybe this is random musing on my part, or maybe it's the start of OCD (where I start counting everything), or maybe the weather is warming up and I am trying to fend off suggestions of camping trips.
