Originally posted 05/19/2012 07:00PM

Carrie Underwood spends the bulk of her time on the road or in the studio, so where does she head when she has a day off from touring?

The laundromat, of course.

The country superstar says she insists on doing her own laundry and grocery shopping, even while on the road.

"It makes tour life a little difficult because those are things that I really don't have time to do," Underwood, 29, tells Oprah Winfrey on Oprah's Next Chapter airing Sunday. "So that’s what I do on my days off. We go to the laundromat. I get my quarters, we go to the laundromat and go do our laundry."

Was the PEOPLE Music Critic 'Blown Away' by Carrie Underwood's New Album? | Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood's New Album, Blown Away, Reviewed

Carrie Underwood's fourth album, Blown Away, comes on like a tornado with its first three songs.

There's the guitar-charged single "Good Girl," which, with all of its rock bluster, is maybe the least country thing she's ever done. Then there's the windswept title track, an over-the-top tale about a twister wiping out the house where an alcoholic father abused his daughter.

Underwood keeps in melodramatic mode with "Two Black Cadillacs," a macabre revenge song. You may be exhausted after getting through all of that, but brace yourself for more overproduced, under-nuanced action – this is big-hair country. Fortunately, though, relief comes in the wistful, piano-laced "Forever Changed."

Carrie Underwood is very excited that husband Mike Fisher's hockey team is in the NHL playoffs, but she's not quite as enthused about the rituals that come along with the games.

"I'm not looking forward to the playoff beard," she joked to PEOPLE while promoting Olay's new "Beauty by Example" campaign in New York on Thursday. "[The players] all grow out their facial hair during the playoffs."

Continued the country star: "So before they started, I told Mike, 'You need to shave close.' He always looks good with a little stubble, but it's probably going to get out of hand soon."
