How To Create a Luxurious Bath

There are two kinds of baths... the one that you jump into, shave your legs and then jump out of. And then, there are the luxurious baths. I think today, we are going to go the luxurious route.

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: 40 minutes

Here's How:

1.   There is nothing more luxurious than a big fluffy WARM towel. If you are lucky enough to have a warming bar, be sure to put it to work!

2.   Choose some music that appeals to you. Enya might be a really nice choice. Arrange candles around the room.

3.   Turn on the water and pour in a generous amount of bubble bath. Remember, not too hot!

4.   Light the candles that you have arranged around the room, turn off the light and then step carefully into the bath.

5.   Give yourself at least a half hour just to soak. Just close your eyes and let all the tension just seep out of your body!

6.   Okay, time is up. Dry off and scent yourself with your favorite scented bath powder.

Tips:

  1. Be sure that the water isn't hot. It's not good for your skin, not to mention the rest of you.
  2. With the use of some bath oils, the tub could be very slippery. Watch your step.
  3. Don't lock the bathroom door. Accidents happen and someone might need to get help quickly.
