Who would have thought that you could relax your muscles, calm your mind, detoxify, moisturize, stimulate circulation and boost your immune system- all with a simple bath? After working all day, taking care of finances, running errands and housework a warm bath is all I want at the end of the day. I start by running a hot enough bath which is approximately 30-50 gallons of water, to make me sweat, grab my iPad with a book on it, pour a glass of sweet yet dry Peach Mango wine. Next I light a few scented candles for mood enhancement and pour some vanilla essential oil into the pool of pleasure and emerge myself into a hot skin stinging bubbly bliss. The warm bath salts are subtle but relaxes the body in a way nothing else can. While taking my bath, my mind escapes the financial and emotional worry that obscures my mind throughout the day. Stress melts and my mind falls into a stupor of nothingness. I sip my Peach Mango wine slowly, as not to dehydrate from the sweating and the alcohol intake. The fear of drowning in the bathtub is the only things that keep me from not going in the peaceful sleep. Next, I reach for my iPad to begin reading a book. Most of the time, I choose a book that challenges the imagination and leaves wanting more. Books that are colorful and very descriptive on each and every detail, from the person hair to the vivid plots are what interest me the most. On an occasion, I begin reading and tend to lose myself in the book and forget that I am in the bath because I am so relaxed. I get out of the now cold water and my mind is now clear. I have managed to clear my mind, relax my body and enjoy a little “me” time. This is the part I dread the most, snapping back to reality and looking at the door as if someone is behind it. I know once I open the door it’s going to be like opening Pandora’s Box. Except this box have noisy, loud children both trying to scream over each other at the same time
