I plan on continuing- it is so easy to do and a great Money saver as well.I rthink I had one day suring the whole challenge where I went over 5 minutes, but that was due to a muscle ache and the Shower handle in full massage mode helps out with those.

My inlaws have instituted a 90 second shower policy and only once per day at their cabin. This is driven more by a limited amount of well water, but its surprising how much you can accomplish with 90 seconds of water pressure. The key seems to be turning the stream off when soaping so you don't waste water time unnecessarily. Timely post.

I think it's super funny that people shower every day anyway. i love the smell of my own body's evidence that i work hard; in the yard, making milk, chasing after my kids. i think dirty is the new sexy. love ya mb hehe. amy this so cracks me up. you know how energy conscious i am, but i am laughing because my TEN MINUTE LONG SHOWER ONCE A WEEK (yes, once a flippin week) has nothing to do with my longtime lifestyle choice (which compared to the western world’s norm is very simple and happy, striving for zero waste).

I put a bucket in the shower to catch water while the shower heated up and while I was showering. Then I used the water to water my herbs on my patio.(Sadly, I don't have a rainbarrel.) I liked the additional water savings and my herbs liked it because I actaully remembered to water them often!
