Take a Bubble Bath
Bubble baths aren't just for kids. A nice, hot bath is a great way to relax and unwind.
Steps:
1. Unplug the phone.
2. Lock the door to prevent intruders like kids and spouses.
3. Stop the drain in the tub.
4. Light aromatherapy candles. Choose lavender to relieve stress and sandalwood to relax.
5. Turn on the water and adjust the temperature to your liking.
6. Pour a small amount of bubble bath ' or the amount recommended on the bottle label - into the running water.
7. Allow the bathtub to fill with water and suds. If you are not satisfied with the amount of suds in the water, add more bubble bath into the running water.
8. Turn off the water when the tub has filled. Replenish hot water as needed.
9. Slowly enter the bath water, feet first.
10. Breathe deeply and relax.
Tips:
Try putting on a little background music to help you relax ' but don't keep electronic devices close enough to the tub that they might fall in.
Don't forget your rubber ducky or other bath toys.
Warnings:
If you are pregnant or have dry skin, opt for warm water as opposed to hot.
Keep in mind that ingredients in some bubble baths can be drying to the skin ' choose a product with moisturizers such as aloe or vitamin E.
You can add bath salts to make you feel like you're in the ocean, and as it dissolves, you can smell the fragrance. Adding spices, such as cinnamon or peppermint, can help you relax, soothe sores and even heal bruises. Add some herbal flowers and citrus (cut oranges and lemons), to relax even more.
Good way to moisturize
Add a few drops of baby oil into the bath while it's filling up. Just a few drops is all you need and your skin is smooth afterward.
