16th century life

Speaking about 16th century means mentioning The Tudor dynasty, which ruled for about a century. This family came to power after the Wars of Roses. To my mind, the most respectful ruler of the Tudor family is Elizabeth the First, who is sometimes called the Virgin Queen. Although she was declared illegitimate, she finally came to the throne with the support of her trusted adviser William Cecil. Elizabeth's reign is known as the Elizabethan era, famous above all for the flourishing of English drama (Shakespear and Marlowe), and ships furrowing the seas (Drake).
So, I imagine myself living in the golden age of the English history, the climax of the English Renaissance. I hope I could witness the blooming of English poetry and literature on the whole.
However, life was difficult at that times. I couldn't have taken shower every time I needed it, after a hard day or some trainig in the gym(what am I speaking about, gym during Tudor times?), for example. I know that Britain was a rural state, as almost 90 % of the population lived there. Honestly, I'd better live in a city, although it was supposed to be in dramatically insanitary conditions.
/A few years ago I made a trip to some European countries, including Italy, France and Begium. I did a lot of excursions there, whereby I got to know lots about Medieval times. It was disgusting. No sewerage systems, no showers./
During the Elizabethan era, men and women wore very high collars, fashioned after Spanish couture. Men wore their hair short, while women combed their long hair upwards where it was fixed with a frame. Queen Elizabeth was a guiding inspiration in fashion during this era. Women strove to imitate her curly red hair, using different recipes for bleaching. If I had lived at that times, I would have tried to do the same haircuts, as Elizabeth had.
What's about the clothes, I would have had lots of chemises, bodices, skirts and hats (coif).
