Oh I haven't worn makeup since the 1980s, and haven't had a haircut since the place I went to closed a couple years ago. Lol
Yes saves money and effort

Tending chickens in makeup just doesn't fit somehow.

I only wore makeup for parties, so none since last winter. Peaceful too.
Hair cuts used to happen for having short hair. It's growing out, not exactly as in college length, but heading that way. Not sure if it's a positive, or not, but with the face mask, who cares?!

Masks are much less effective if they're poor fitting or worn improperly (especially for folks with certain high risk factors that make them more susceptible). Just like rinsing hands with water is less effective than washing hands for twenty seconds with soap in water as hot as one can handle.

So my search function skills are not functioning correctly, currently.

There was this well know Foodie guy; he does cooking shows for a long time. And who, he made two had washing videos early in the Covid-19-mare months. And was all backed up by science. He talked about the 30 second minimum and that he did ~45 seconds and he shared an odd pit of trivia regarding the water temperature...

I thought I shared it or replied about it in this thread?

Have you seen either of these videos?

It would be very interesting to see if that topic of water temperature has needed to be edited or updated to "the hotter the better" given the multitude of new strains?

When my Better-half and I got together she was very minimalist for make up on normal days. She had some hobby like stuff that she had costuming & makeup for when she did belly dancing. She still is naturally a beautiful faced woman.
I have always have a preference for natural beauty all my life. With watching the 70's and early 80's makeup regiments it became a turn off for me. I had a cousin who was allowed to go full facial makeup at like 11 or 12 years old and it was just sad watching as it caused her skin to blotch up and clog her pours etal..... (Sad sigh) I'm not against accenting with make-up. (Rolls eyes at self) I'll stop now .... Night night.

Going to get our shot tommorow! My husband is over 70...I'm hoping what I was told by our pharmacy that they are letting spouses of older .. spouses..get it too. My husband has Alzheimer's, so he's double ..needy..I'm the caregiver..hope that counts. . Will see. Daughter in law printed two papers to fill out..so, I'm ready.

Still can't find a place to get Covid shot. I'M 73 - they said that makes me 1B. I'm guessing 1 A's get shot before me -

Are you talking about Alton Brown, perhaps? Maybe this video?
