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.

When last did I have a nice relaxing bath like this. mmm… about 2 and a half years ago. NOT possible with my son.

Wish I could manage a bath with candles, some music and bubbly – as soon as my two boys hear the water running, clothes start flying all over the show and the next thing you know you are squashed into a ball at the foot of the bath!

Something I’ve indulged in more regularly throughout my pregnancy. Thanks for the tips – I’ll be upping the ante :)

This is what I call quality “ME TIME”! Love treating myself to a relaxing bath, usually take the book that I;m reading at the time with me and catch up on a couple of chapters too.

This used to be a weekily routine (Until the kids came along!) But will make an effort to do so again. It made me feel really good

I agree with Rochelle, a glass of bubbly and a small piece of your favourite chocolate is all that is needed for the above. :)

This is what i do every Sunday night, running myself a bath including everything that goes with it, my scented candles and my favourite mud mask on my face, what more can u ask for so amazing to just lie back and relax and forget everything.
