Performing my activity: Showering
Documentation as I perform this activity:
Process: Walk into bathroom and lock door behind, turn on four switches for two lights and the fan and the heater as I wait for the water to heat up after turning the knob on, once I think the shower is up to a good temperature do the hand test, if it is up to standard undress and jump into the shower. Once in the shower I have a step by step process which goes in order starting with shampooing my hair and I leave that in while I use soap to wash my entire body then wash my body again but with moisturizing body gel which smells like strawberries then I wash the shampoo out of my hair and then lastly I cleanse/exfoliate my face, then I dry myself inside the shower were it is warm and then exit the shower with my cloths to drop into the washing machine as I walk to my room to get dressed.
Sense Throughout my Shower:
- Smell - initially smell the aroma of my bathroom which smells like citric fruits which is emitted in the air through those products from the super market, once the heater fan and water is running the smell stays constant as nothing changes and is smell-less, once the water has been running the air gets more humid and you can smell the slight humidity. Once I am in the shower and start applying products different smells start to enter the shower 1.5x1.5m shower. I first apply shampoo which smells like blueberries which I smother over my hair and then I use my soap which smells like vanilla which is used to clean my body. I then apply body gel which smells like strawberries, finishing with cleansing my face with my face wash which smells like chemicals and doesn't really smell nice. Once I am finished and the water is off my whole shower smells like a mix of berries with a hint of vanilla like an ice cream from Wendy's. The fan quickly exhausts the smells and moisture out of the bathroom leaving the citric air freshener to fill the space.
- Taste - taste is a very negative thing when it comes to showering as all the in shower products may smell nice but they defiantly don't taste nice, and after 20 years of showering Ive trained myself not to let anything enter my mouth during showering, taste that might all ready be embedded in your mouth may be toothpaste depending if I brushed before showering or not
- Sight - Sight is observing the surroundings the entire time, bathroom is a small place, helps to see how much of each product I am using making sure its not to much or too less, eyes are normally closed if I think my shampoo has made its way down near my eyes to risk not getting sore eyes! Sight ensures me that there are no puddles around that might make me slip! Surrounds include: shower, shower products, shower head, mirror, lights, bathtub, basin, products on top of the basin, towels, towel rack
- Sound - Depending on the pressure of your water at your house your shower can sound very violet, my pressure is high at my house and my shower sounds violent on the plastic ground, other sounds include the clicking of of products opening and closing, the water hitting the ground at various speeds, or water which travels down your body. Other sounds include clicking the switches on and off.
- Touch - Initially touch the light switches to turn on the lights and fan entering the bathroom, then touching the cold metal knob which controls the temperature of the water in the shower before jumping in. we feel the cold touch on our bodies when we undress and as I jump into the shower I feel the hot water quickly warm up my body, then you feel water constantly dripping down your body fast, feels good as its warm which releases endorphins which makes us happy. In our hands we feel the silky feeling shampoos and body soap which we lather on our bodies which also fees nice as it we massage our skin. When we turn the shower off we feel cold until I dry myself fast and run into my room to get dressed.
From this information I will create a write up about my experience and what I learnt as well as producing two images to support my discovers
