There’s nothing like a relaxing bath to unwind at the end of a hectic day. Here’s how to get the most out of this great evening ritual:
- Set Some Time - Make sure you set up some time to take a relaxing bath - at least an hour. Relaxing baths are best taken before bed or an event, and not before something that’s going to make you hectic and unrelaxed again.
- Prepare The Area - Baths aren’t soothing when the bathroom is cold and messy. Make sure it’s warm and clean.
- Turn Off Your Phone - The is not the time to answer your phone, so turn off the wringer (plus, you don’t want to drop your BlackBerry in the water, do you?). This is you time, not everyone-else time.
- Remove Distractions - Wait until your children are at the babysitter’s or asleep. Don’t take a bath when you know people are going to be calling you or ringing your doorbell. Quiet pets and significant others.
- Buy Pampering Products - A relaxing bath is not complete without relaxing bath products. Try a comfy terrycloth robe, lotion, bubble bath liquid and bath pillow.
- Light Some Candles - Set the mood by turning off harsh overhead lights and lighting some candles. Scented candles, like lavender or chamomile, can help further relax you.
- Put On Soothing Music - Now’s not the time to break out hair metal. Try classical music, mood music, new age or quiet instrumentals.
- Perk Up Your Bath Water - Try adding essential oils or scented bubble bath liquid to your hot, but not too hot, water.
- Have A Glass Of Your Favorite Drink - Whether it’s hot chocolate or wine, bring in a glass or mug of your favorite relaxing drink.
- Breathe Deeply And Slowly - Try some relaxation breathing exercises.
