Rubber Ducky Optional


When was the last time you took a bubble bath? Go ahead … indulge. You know you want to. It’s been a long, crazy week and a little destressing is in order. What better way to unwind and ease your mind than by soaking in fragrantly foamy bliss?

Pour yourself a glass of wine or whatever else relaxes you (correct me if I'm wrong, but somehow I don’t think Coors Light will do the trick).

Turn off all phones.

Lock the door to prevent interruptions (kids, spouses, a hamster on the loose …).

Fill the bathtub with warm—or, as in my case, hot hot hot—water.

Toss in scented bath salts or bubbles totally ignoring package directions; one capful must be quadrupled for maximum suds.

Include some soothing background music; Rod Stewart crooning any of his four Great American Songbooks does it for me.  (I could gush for hours with explicit detail, but we'll just leave it at that.)

Add aromatherapy candles and turn off the lights; lavender, jasmine, sandalwood or vanilla are calming scents.

Slowwwwwwly submerge into the water, toes first.

Relax, enjoy and don’t surface until you’re pruny!

Say it with me … “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Ok, I usually don't take baths, but you make it sound very relaxing and enjoyable! Another great photo too!

PS: I'm also enjoying your daily titles. Before opening the blog for the day, I try to imagine what photo will be posted and what story will be told. Keep up the wonderful work!
