Bathing
Luckily we have running water @ Msimbazi Centre. I have been bathing daily and learning how to use a bucket bath. Although there is a shower head, the water has not stayed separated - it forms one stream. Plus, I want to get used to a bucket bath before going to live w/ my host family. What is a bucket bath? Put water in a bucket and use a plastic cup (approx. size of pint) to pour water over you. The hand that is not pouring can be used to help direct water flow or move hair around to get it all wet. I feel like a little kid when they get a bath. The water is cool but air temps are in the high 70's so it is actually refreshing.

Amanda, consider shaving your head. Perfect opportunity to keep hygiene and feel the lightness of being bald ((: I will live vicariously through you!! (Virginia)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think I need to create a profile....((:
Lol V! A few girls are considering it along w/ some of the guys but I quite enjoy my hair. It feels really nice to run my hands through it :-). Plus, I really don't think I would like how I'd look w/o hair.
ReplyDeleteHahaha! I can't ever imagine Amanda without hair... I was shocked to see it really short! ;) If you decided to shave it or cut it short for a while, I'm sure it would look cute.
