It’s one of the first things you learn as a kid, but running a bath can be so much more than a quick dip in the tub. Give the shower a break this weekend and pamper yourself with a blissful bath. Here’s how…
1. While running the water, light a candle or two. A scented candle will not only add a wonderful scent to your bathroom, but it will create a peaceful atmosphere, helping you unwind and relax in the bath.
2. Fill your bath with mineral-rich bath salts. Besides adding to the aroma, bath salts help ease stiff or sore muscles and help to remove toxins from the body.
3. Pop a mask on your hair. You’ve got the time, so why not treat your hair while the warm water, bath salts, and candles do their work?
4. Now, sit back and relax.
5. Once out of the bath, pat yourself dry and indulge in a rich body moisturiser.

I haven’t had one of these in a long time! Between the kids and the hubby I just never get to it!

What do you do when you only have a shower? ….(sad face)…i guess you can still create the ambience?

This is really a mood setter for a perfect blissful relaxing time-out. Sometimes the best spa is in your own home.

I always end the day with a bubble bath with my daughter. Its our bonding time and sometimes she brings her toys inside. ON Saturday nights, if time permits, I light candles, throw in some Radox bath salts and invite my man to relax with me.

Not always easy to do this when you have children!
