Bursty Ball Bath

Ginger Bomb  Bathpic What is it?

Over-sized aromatic bath seltzers similar to what an alka seltzer does for the inside,these little aromatic balls do for the outside.  They are popular at the boutique.

They are available in different aroma's. I have to say, "these little bath balls are truly a must-have tool for a relaxing bath."

Which brings me to my next topic.................... Life's Little Delights...Soaking in the tub with scented candles Note Card by Megan Hess

How long should you soak in the tub? Scientist say, "to receive maximum relaxing  benefits, you need to soak for no longer than twenty minutes." Interesting? Does that mean if I stay in the tub longer than twenty minutes I receive no relaxing benefits? 

I also wonder how they ever came up with this hypothesis. I can envision little individual rooms filled with people soaking in their tubs while scientist monitor them as they soak. They  just start to unwind and bzzzzz, the timer goes off. Bummer........ Image Preview

What do you think? Chances are you probably never noticed how long you were in the bath..... Personally, now that I know about the twenty minute maximum, it's always in the back of my mind and actually interferes with my attempt to take a relaxing bath. Concerned that if I soak for longer than twenty minutes I've waisted my time... Silly huh? Nevertheless, my bathing preference is still the good old-fashioned bath. Believe it or not, I haven't taken a shower for more than twenty years. I love baths!! They slow me down... Some of my best ideas come to me while in the bath...

Showers were invented to speed up the hygiene process.. Our lives are filled with so many things that want to help us get it done quickly.. Do they make your life better? I wonder? Something to think about....

This girl says NO.. I will continue taking my relaxing baths each morning treasuring every minute.... Twenty minutes that is..... Oh really, who's counting????Le Bain Wood Sign

And anyway, it's things that make life a little more interesting....

Happily,
