Create a Luxurious Bath Experience
Nothing says me time like a relaxing bath. Take some time to decompress before starting a new week by taking a nice warm bath.Creating a luxurious bath experience can turn your bathroom into a spa-like retreat.
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.” - Audre Lorde
Here are my Top 13 self care tips to Elevate your bath time:
1.Schedule Your Bath Time: Block off a specific time on Sunday for your indulgent bath experience. Treat it as a non-negotiable appointment with yourself, just like any other wellness activity.
2.Prepare Ahead of Time: Gather all your bath essentials the night before, including Bath products, towels, robes, candles, and any entertainment you plan to enjoy during your bath.
3.Unplug and Unwind: Disconnect from electronic devices and distractions during your bath time. Hang a DND (Do not disturb) or WBRB (won't be right back) sign. Use this opportunity to be fully present and focus on relaxation without the interruptions of emails, social media, or phone calls.
4.Set the Mood with Lighting: Dim the overhead lights and opt for soft, warm lighting with dimmable fixtures. This is the perfect time to light "that" Candle. Candlelight creates a relaxing ambiance and helps to soothe your mind.
5.Use High-Quality Bath Products: Invest in luxurious bath oils, bath salts, or bubble baths with indulgent scents like lavender, rose, or eucalyptus. Choose products that nourish your skin and leave it feeling silky smooth.
6.Add Texture with Towels and Robes: Wrap yourself in plush, soft heated towels and robes made from high-quality materials like Egyptian cotton or bamboo. Having a cozy robe to slip into after your bath enhances the pampering experience.
