    I have to wash my hair every morning. I have very fine hair and it gets very oily, if I don’t. Ponytails and buns give me a headache, but I would love to be able to save that time.

      What kind of shampoo do you use? If it is not an all natural shampoo the chemicals might be stripping your scalp of its natural oils and therefore to compensate you produce more oil (it’s a vicious cycle). Celadon Road has an amazing all natural shampoo that might help. It will take a week or so for your scalp to readjust to the lack of chemicals but it is totally worth a shot!

    I’m currently caring for a very sick 16 year old cat — trying to give her the best quality of life before she finally tells me that she’s ready to move on — and while I love her to bits, I’ve got to admit that I don’t look forward to her morning feeding ritual. Senility has set in and for some reason, she now shovels food in her face like she’s gorging in a pie eating contest. Cute to look at in a photo, but whooo-eee, what a mess to clean up, especially because she inevitably decides that she wants to plow into her grub again after I’ve already spent 2 minutes carefully cleaning out her nostrils, etc ;)

  • Nicole

    Waking up before daylight to take the puppy outside (in the snow) :-) Although she makes up for it with kisses when we get back inside :-)

    Make the java. If I could have 1 teeny luxury in my life, it would be to wake up every morning to the aroma of fresh brew. I don’t mind doing it so much, but there’s something about being awakened by the smell of a great pot o’ joe!!

  • http://noteasytobegreen.wordpress.com/ Jennifer

    I generally put off doing the dinner dishes until the next morning. Can’t say that procrastination makes me hate it any less!

  • Tartseam

    waking up early … I would do anything for another hour or even 30 minutes more of sleep!

  • Katherine

    I dislike shaving my legs the most. It’s time consuming and in Louisiana, I might end up going bare-legged any day of the year! No time off in the winter for me!

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Sarah-Hawkins-Davis/1539632141 Sarah Hawkins Davis

    The morning routine I hate the most is waking up at 0430 when my husband leaves for PT. Sure I could go back to sleep until time to wake the kids up, but my body doesn’t allow that.

  • Katywright_72

    Flossing. Essential but evil!

    I hate having to put my contacts in. I’m glad that I am blessed enough to have contacts but I just wish I could wake up with perfect vision with no effort.

  • Randy Kuss

    The morning inhaler moment. Drag but breathing better beats not breathing worser, if’n ya know what I mean.

  • Andrea

    put on makeup! I mean really, who invented that stuff?! :)

    load the woodstove again or even start a new fire! but to save electricity and have it warm, the woodchip bricketts have to be burning!

    Wash my face. Sadly, it is necessary!

  • Cordana Dingley

    I’d have to go with applying make-up. You go through all that work each morning to look a certain way, only to have to repeat the same process time and time again.

    Putting on makeup!

    I wish I didn’t have to get ever use anything other than Tom’s of Maine products :) Maybe my wish will come true :)

  • Marissa Brower

    Waking up and having to pop my zits.If I could magically make them disappear I sure would!

  • Sharkz5

    Brushing and flossing.

  • tandralee

    The morning routine I wish I didn’t have to do is get out of bed…. or at least get dressed. I’m so comfy in my jammies!

  • Macdenr

    My absolute worst ever morning routine: Every morning I leave my home in NJ at 5:30AM and literally have to drive through a minimum of 116 stoplights to get to my job in Brooklyn, NY. Yes, 116 stoplights in just my one-way commute!! I HATE IT!!!

  • Marissa Brower

    Popping my zits. Annoying but so necessary.

  • Guest

    Turning off the alarm button!

  • http://www.friendsofjcds.com/ Greenpc

    Taking two pups out for mornin doo, doo, duty… and then having to clean up after them – especially when it’s pelting ice pellets and they won’t or can’t HURRY UP!!

  • Sue Gibson

    I’d say my worst morning routine is driving to work and getting stuck behind a school bus that has made a stop where there’s probably 15-20 kids that have to get on the bus and sit down before the busdriver will turn off its lights and you can continue on your way.

  • M Henry

    I wish I could avoid the alarm clock, and my unproductive habit of pressing the snooze button!

  • Anonymous

    I would have to say washing my hair every day. It’s so tedious to dry it and style it, but if I don’t I have “Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” hair. Sometimes I use dry shampoo, but it’s not the same!

  • Eacoy

    Getting up. The bed hugs me and my pillow whispers comforting thoughts about how I don’t have to get up yet…just a little longer won’t hurt. I stretch in an effort to get moving and find that it makes me more relaxed. Finally with a supreme effort of will I ooze off the edge of the bed and prop myself wobbly on my feet.

    It gets a little easier after that.

  • Jenni_danielle00

    putting makeup on is my least favorite morning activity….I don’t wear much just enough to even out my skin tone and a bit of lipstick, but taking those few minutes to put it in is very annoying, especially when I’m always running behind!

  • Sarahsassarini

    Figuring out what to wear is the worst morning ritual, its right up there with deciding what to have for breakfast.

  • Cacmontgomery

    I am really interested in trying your toothpaste (and more). I heard from one of our Ozoshare partners that you brand is the best.

    I do hate brushing my teeth and I have never understood why. I actually googled it the other day “why do people not like brushing their teeth?” and nothing came up. Just for the record, I DO brush 2-3 times a day. It is just my least enjoyable part of my routine. :)

  • Helau

    I hate the act of getting up, waking up in the mornings. Getting ready for school is probably the most dreaded thing in the mornings…

  • Anonymous

    Least favorite routine is getting up too early to feed the hungry, demanding cats!!!

  • Nicole Effle

    getting my 1st and 4th grade sons to clean the crusty snot off of their face! How can they not even notice?! :)

    Put on make-up. I know that isn’t something I “have to do” but I need it

  • Rachel Theis

    I hate hate hate brushing my teeth. But I do it, in order to not be repulsive.

  • TLaustin5

    I’m weighing in all right. I wish I could omit the “Stepping On The Scale” situation that must take place to check on my weight loss. I would rather have breakfast in bed..*with* toast.

    I hate unloading the dishwasher. As two full time working parents we run our dishwasher right before bed and then have to put away the clean ones in the a.m. Ugh

  • Robin Nielsen

    My least favorite thing to do in the morning is scraping ice and snow off my car. Also digging it out of feet of snow! Gotta love Minnesota!

  • Amshoy

    Leaving my puppies who are still snuggled in bed…I think that’s definitely the hardest part of each morning

  • Kellykae

    wake up………………….

  • Amy

    Cook breakfast… Hate it. I kind of like brushing my teeth.

  • Janee carlile

    The morning routine I hate the most is waking up to an alarm clock! We should just let our bodies awake naturally (in the ideal world that is). Then start our ‘get ready’ routine… #wishingandhoping

  • LisaMak

    I have to give eye drops to 2 of my pugs every morning…it’s not that bad, but since 1 of them isn’t that fond of the drops the early morning wrestling session is tough ;)

    Blowdrying my long hair daily is the most annoying.

  • Megan Hutsell

    My least favorite thing is getting out of bed when it’s filled with my three little boys. Love the snuggling time we get. Wish I could stay there all day!

  • rebecca

    My kitty waking me up as soon as I move. Luckily my sweet daughter took her for the semester. In May she’ll be back with me and ready to get up way too early.

    The shower dance. I live in an older building and the water turns frigid every 2-3 minutes. I have to “dance” out of the way several times during the duration of my shower. I love it even more now that it is winter in Colorado. A cool shot of shower REALLY wakes you up…fast!

  • Betsy Head

    I hate picking out my clothes in the morning – I should really do it the night before as it can be quite stressful in the AM!

  • Lindsaybk1236

    I wish that in the mornings I didn’t always have to pee so badly so I wouldn’t be forced out of my warm bed so soon!

  • Jessie Gray

    The morning routine I hate is getting up early to take my medicine. It would be so nice to sleep in at least one day out of the week, instead of having to get up at 6am to do my medicine via feeding tube.

    I wish I didn’t have to stop my reading and my writing to actually get the daily machine going. Seems like the morning flies by.

  • M K Gardner

    I wish I did not have to wake up my daughter every morning. Talk about a struggle!

  • Robin

    I absolutely hate blow drying my hair. I wish after I showered and washed m hair I could step out of the shower all dry. If I could skip that step I’d save electric too, but employers don’t find it cool to walk into work with wet hair.

    Getting out of bed on cold mornings but actually showering and going through the I’m a girl need to look nice routine!! However my Tom’s soap always wakes me :-)

  • Helen

    I wish I didn’t have to wake up early and could just relax in the mornings!

    I hate getting out of bed…but with these natural and great smelling products I might just not hate it so much :)
