Hi, HerCampus-ers!
I’m Cassidy Quinn Brettler, a senior at Emerson College, and I am one of the Earth Lovers bloggers – a.k.a. one of the 5 girls who (hesitantly) signed up to do the Three-Minute Shower Challenge, and to reduce my water consumption before Earth Day!
I say “hesitantly” not because I don’t love the Earth, or because I love using up a ton of the world’s resources…
I say it because I was scared… I didn’t think I could actually take a 3-minute shower! I’m a Broadcast Journalism and Acting double-major – which means I like to primp (gotta look good for the camera! haha). And I thought it would really hard to reduce my water consumption in other ways too! I’m super busy, so I was worried that it would take more time and effort than I could afford…!
But guess what… I was wrong! Seriously. For the 3-minute shower, all it took was to find a 3-minute song to shower to! And that was enough motivation for me! I chose some Britney (duh!), and got my groove on in the shower.
If you don’t believe me, just watch my vlog… you can time out my shower! And hear me sing along to some Brit Brit…
You should join me in doing the Three-Minute Shower Challenge! I swear it’s easier than you think…! Like I said in the video – if I can do it, YOU can do it! I promise…
To help you start your own 3-minute shower, I have come up with a list of my…

14. 5:19 – Matt Wertz (this one’s slower, not as much of a pump up song, but it’s still one of my favorites!)
15. Circus – Britney Spears (this version has 30 extra seconds at the beginning, so just skip that and then start your shower!)
So there you have it – over 2 weeks worth of 3-minute shower songs! If you start today, and follow this list of songs, you will have the perfect number of songs to last you all the way through Earth Day (April 22nd)!
That’s all from me for now, but make sure to keep checking back in here to my blog to find out more tips on reducing your water consumption, and to find out if I can keep having successful 3-minute showers…! I’ll also show you all the awesome stuff I got from The Body Shop soon – I’m SO excited to use it all in the shower!

See you next time, Earth Lovers!
