Relaxation // Baths
Stripping the fantasy away, this is my reality every time...
-Fill the tub, which by the way takes like 20 minutes longer than I think.
-Get all my belongings together. Body towel, hand towel, candles, reading material, wine, some sort of music device.
-Tie my hair up
-Step into the tub, but can't commit fully as the water is pretty much burning off my skin. Sooooo, feet first for like, 5 minutes
-Then legs, then sensitive area (otherwise known as your vagina) which does NOT feel good by the way.
-Ok, so I'm in, and it's hot. Real hot.
-My skin still feels like it's kinda on fire and I just want to get to the relaxation mode ASAP.
-I then turn on the cold water, just so I can feel my toes go back to normal temp. I then proceed to splash cold water back towards me, in hopes it drops the tub temp to a more realistic chill setting.
-Finally it's bearable.
-Reach for my book, realize my hands are soaked.
-Reach for my hand towel to dry them off (I'm starting to sweat at this point BTW).
-Start reading, read and re-read the first page over and over again due to a variety of hurdles; body position, neck position, head position, music choice... did I mention I'm sweating at this point?
-Dry my hands again on the hand towel that I have now placed on the outer edge of the tub where the bottom half of the cloth has been submerged in the water. I change the music.
-Aaaand I'm relaxing....the sweating has subsided which I am stoked about... for 30 seconds.
-Then it's cold.
-I drain the tub.
-I take a shower (because who takes baths to get clean anyway?)
-Get out and drip all over my reading materials, candles and laptop.
-Emerge from the bathroom with my husband smiling at me sweetly.
-"How was your relaxing bath babe?! You needed it!"
-Um, no I didn't, because it was stressful.
So, how do YOU relax? I need some tips on better bath habits or other methods of chilling out.
HELP, and thank you :)
