[gallerylink]
Blame it on your time-saving needs of squeezing in a workout on your lunch break, or your incurable addiction to hitting the snooze button. But whatever the reason, sometimes having a shower just doesn’t fit into our schedules. We mean, it’s not that we’re totally okay with being gross (or maybe we are). It’s just when we’re short on time and have to choose between getting all lathered up or making our mug and mane presentable, our dignity forces us to choose the latter.
