I've been working on perfecting my morning routine using the half hour i save from avoiding the morning commute. Maybe some of you might identify with this, particularly if you suffer from enlarged pores or flakiness around the T-zone.

I tie a plastic ice pack around my face and commence with the morning's stretching exercises. Afterwards I stand in front of a chrome and acrylic Washmobile bathroom sink - with soap dish, cup holder, and railings that serve as towel bars, which I bought at Hastings Tile to use while the marble sinks I ordered from Finland are being sanded - and stare at my reflection with the ice pack still on. I pour some Plax antiplaque formula into a stainless-steel tumbler and swish it around my mouth for thirty seconds.


Then I squeeze Rembrandt onto a faux- tortoiseshell toothbrush and start brushing my teeth (too hung over to floss properly - but maybe I flossed before bed last night?) and rinse with Listerine. Then I inspect my hands and use a nailbrush. I take the ice-pack mask off and use a deep-pore cleanser lotion, then an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for ten minutes while I check my toenails. Then I use the Probright tooth polisher and next the Interplak tooth polisher (this in addition to the toothbrush) which has a speed of 4200 rpm and reverses direction forty-six times per second; the larger tufts clean between teeth and massage the gums while the short ones scrub the tooth surfaces. I rinse again, with Cepacol. I wash the facial massage off with a spearmint face scrub.

The shower has a universal all-directional shower head that adjusts within a thirty-inch vertical range. It's made from Australian gold-black brass and covered with a white enamel finish. In the shower I use first a water-activated gel cleanser, then a honey-almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Vidal Sassoon shampoo is especially good at getting rid of the coating of dried perspiration, salts, oils, airborne pollutants and dirt that can weigh down hair and flatten it to the scalp which can make you look older. The conditioner is also good - silicone technology permits conditioning benefits without weighing down the hair which can also make you look older.


On weekends or before a date I prefer to use the Greune Natural Revitalizing Shampoo, the conditioner and the Nutrient Complex. These are formulas that contain D-panthenol, a vitamin-B-complex factor; polysorbate 80, a cleansing agent for the scalp; and natural herbs. Over the weekend I plan to go to Bloomingdale's or Bergdorf's and pick up a Foltene European Supplement and Shampoo for thinning hair which contains complex carbohydrates that penetrate the hair shafts for improved strength and shine. Also the Vivagen Hair Enrichment Treatment, a new Redken product that prevents mineral deposits and prolongs the life cycle of hair.


Once out of the shower and toweled dry I put the Ralph Lauren boxers back on and before applying the Mousse A Raiser, a shaving cream by Pour Hommes, I press a hot towel against my face for two minutes to soften abrasive beard hair. Then I always slather on a moisturizer (to my taste, Clinique) and let it soak in for a minute. You can rinse it off or keep it on and apply a shaving cream over it - preferably with a brush, which softens the beard as it lifts the whiskers - which I've found makes removing the hair easier. It also helps prevent water from evaporating and reduces friction between your skin and the blade. Always wet the razor with warm water before shaving and shave in the direction the beard grows, pressing gently on the skin. Leave the sideburns and chin for last, since these whiskers are tougher and need more time to soften. Rinse the razor and shake off any excess water before starting. Afterwards splash cool water on the face to remove any trace of lather. You should use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol. Never use cologne on your face, since the high alcohol content dries your face out and makes you look older. One should use an alcohol-free antibacterial toner with a water-moistened cotton ball to normalize the skin.


Applying a moisturizer is the final step. Splash on water before applying an emollient lotion to soften the skin and seal in the moisture. Next apply Gel Appaisant, also made by Pour Hommes, which is an excellent, soothing skin lotion. If the face seems dry and flaky - which makes it look dull and older - use a clarifying lotion that removes flakes and uncovers fine skin (it can also make your tan look darker). Then apply an anti-aging eye balm (Baume Des Yeux) followed by a final moisturizing "protective" lotion. A scalp-programming lotion is used after I towel my hair dry. I also lightly blow-dry the hair to give it body and control (but without stickiness) and then add more of the lotion, shaping it with a Kent natural- bristle brush, and finally slick it back with a wide-tooth comb.

Does anyone know what happened to all the skin and hair care megathreads?

Skip to TL;DR: if you are so inclined.

I'm a frontline medical person and the other day in the grocery store when I was in line I heard someone yelling "Baby! Baby!" I disregarded it until it persisted. I left my cart in line (no one was behind me at the time) and told the cashier I was going over to see if I could help. I trotted over and asked if 911 has been called yet and to get an AED if they have one. A guy was holding his unconscious girlfriend on a bench.

I asked about allergies, meds, history of seizures or diabetes, and helped him get her to the floor. She was breathing, but had goo in the corners of her mouth, her resps were labored, irregular, and rough, and her pupils were pinned. Greaaaaat.The living room OD scene from Pulp Fiction flashed before my eyes, along with every portable CPR valve mask I've ever owned (one). We got her into the recovery position and I did what I could to make her comfortable and calm her boyfriend down. Thankfully she stirred like a minute before the paramedics arrived.

This was 8 days ago so I hope/think I'm in the clear. The reality of what I put myself into didn't hit until I was at home, about the same time I realized I should probably throw my clothes in the washer and shower, as I had just been rolling around on a supermarket floor in front of the service desk.

Five of my coworkers have had covid. One of them died and left a daughter behind.

If I get it, I get it, it is what it is. I don't have a spouse or SO or kids, so I'm expendable. But it would be nice to not get it, you know?

TL;DR: The only PPE I had on was my sparkly Christmas mask and I had really close, like, within a foot of, contact with the unmasked face of someone who "wasn't feeling good" and ODing on heroin, for 5-10 minutes.
