Tell her she's gone nose-blind a la those Febreeze commercials... Then dodge because she will probably throw something at you, and it will probably be smelly.
Your roommate reminds me of my sibling. Sad sad truth
I'm going to get thumbed down for this but I don't care. Some people, myself included, try to avoid showering if possible because for whatever reason, it makes them anxious or uncomfortable. I have to force myself to shower because ever since I was a little kid, Ive absolutely hated it. I don't know why, but whenever I think about having to shower, every bone in my body screams no at me. Sometimes its hard to make myself do it, but I do sooner or later. My boyfriend is really understanding about it, but if it goes to more than a couple days, he makes me shower. Sometimes things don't make sense, even to the people who do it. If I'm really in a anti-shower mood I'll take a bath instead, so that's a bit of a work around. That being said, my teeth do get brushed every day and I use deodorant and/ or antiperspirants. Clean clothes can be a big help too. Just be patient with her and drop hints subtly sometimes. Be as kind as you can, chances are she knows there's a problem. At this point its really bad, so maybe take her off to one side and tell her that you need to tell her something, and that you're not trying to be mean, but you want her to know that the steps she's taking aren't enough, and point out that its been two weeks already (sometimes time slips by without really noticing) and that you just want to make sure she knows that what she's been doing isn't enough to be hygienic. Good luck OP!
No, I get it. There was a woman on "My Strange Addiction" who was addicted to using baby wipes in lieu of showering. She was a victim of abuse, and the abuse was centered around the shower. She had to have therapy to get over her fear of the shower.
Hide her stuff forcing her to shower or lock her into the bathroom until she does? Just a joke, but seriously personal hygiene is very important maybe you saying something nice to her about it will help her be more successful in the future and I'm sorry not showering in 2 weeks is really gross :( I believe in showering everyday (plus after every work out)
It could be possible that your roommate suffers from a form of social anxiety and therefore is afraid to take a shower when you or other people are around. I suffer from it as well. If anyone other than my husband is at my apartment, I have a panic attack if I have to take a shower or bathe. Talk to your roommate about the situation, but try to be respectful of her feelings.
yummy
Don't sugar coat it. Tell the stinky douche bag to hit the shower on a regular basis or pack her bags and hit the road.

I would try to talk to her in the nicest way possible. You don't want to offend her and start a fight between you two considering you live with her.
I don't see how people live like that. It just feels so gross not to shower; I hate the way my hair feels especially. Not even trying to be rude, I just genuinely don't understand how people can stand the feeling of not being clean and willingly do it
