5 minutes showering

Showering is really one of my favorite hobbies. I wake up with it in the morning and when I have a down moment, I just jump under it to immerse myself in nice shampoos, hair masks, and scrubbing products. And if I'm totally out of inspiration, you can find me in the same spot. Average time per day? Well, I think I can easily spend about twenty minutes on it. So I double the average time of the average Dutch person, because they shower five times a week for about nine minutes.

Now a campaign has been launched, called “Shorter showers, there’s music in it”. Milieu Centraal has teamed up with Giel Beelen from 3FM to fight for a maximum shower time of five minutes. Good for the climate and quite good for your wallet. And with an expensive trip planned, I decided to participate wholeheartedly. I’m going to make it happen. Why am I so sure of that? Well, this is the Aquatunes shower speaker from Grohe. You can attach it to the shower rod, connect it wirelessly to your own music and just listen to your music under the shower. The idea behind it is, of course, that you look for your ultimate five-minute shower tune and turn off the shower when the music is over. Good. I’m going to try it, I dare to take on the challenge. Although I do think that Dogs by Pink Floyd will probably appear a bit more often in my playlist.
