Lot's of bubbles...yet so little time! Where have the days gone, when we used to lounge in the tub and soak our cares away? A busy lifestyle means less of this pleasure. I say it's time to get back to the tub!
Take 30 minutes to run a nice bathtub full of water and just relax. Doesn't this sound wonderful! Of course it does, and here's a few make-at-home soaks for you to enjoy. Let me know if you use them and what the results are. Did you ease tension, get rejuvinated, had some well deserved time to yourself? I want to know. And this summer, I am taking a long bath every Sunday afternoon. It's a promise to myself that I must keep!
Enjoy Your tub time!
