There is no better shower than the one you have when you’ve been camping for a few days without showering. Yes, my name is purrplechick and I went without a shower for three days. Through choice. Partly because the queues for the campsite showers were huge, partly because my hair is unmanageable when washed without loads of care and attention that I frankly couldn’t be arsed to do in a van, and partly because sometimes it’s nice not to bother. The layer of dust, sand and general grime acts as a natural sunblock (I convince myself!) and when you’re communing with nature and all that other hippy stuff that I like to indulge in occasionally plugging in your GHDs just doesn’t seem quite right somehow.

I think I was half a stone lighter when I washed all that shit off me :)

  1. Dear Lord Purrplechick, I feel like you and I haven’t even been camping. I just stepped out of the shower after having washed, rinsed and repeated about 3 times! I was filthy! I didn’t take a bath yesterday because or water was horribly orange and then I didn’t take one the day before because, well, I honestly can’t remember the reason why. My hair was sooo oily! It feels SOOOO good to get out of the shower and have that clean feeling!

    I enjoyed looking through your pictures on the Flickr, quite lovely pictures you take! They were really awesome!

    Glad you’re home!


  2. HAHA, I meant to have a comma between Lord & Purrplechick.

    Prrincess Purrplechick IS a LORD!!! I shall bow down to thy holiest creature of them all!


  3. PMSL! I was wondering why you were calling me Lord. Oh well, if the cap fits and all that ;)
