Introduction
Spas are refreshing, relaxing, and the other adjectives that may be substituted for amazing. However, they also demand commitment. According to Handy, a relaxing bath experience is the fruit of thoughtfulness, effort, and love. Here’s how you can create the most relaxing bath experience for yourself:
The Ways
- Create ambiance - A spa is a bathtub with soapy water without the right ambiance. You need to create a serene, calming, and minimalist ambiance to create the most relaxing bath experience. To achieve that, you may light a few candles and place them at different places in your bathroom with sufficient room for movement. Music also plays a huge role and you can play something that suits your mood.
While you are soaking in water, you also need a relaxing activity. Reading a book or maybe Netflix on your laptop. Be careful with your electronics, you don’t want them to soak up the bathwater. Don’t forget about your favorite beverage either. Honey infused tea, hot cocoa, or maybe a glass of aged wine.
Bubbles - You don’t have to admit it out to the world if you are embarrassed that you like bubble baths. Who doesn’t? Moreover, even if you aren’t inclined to go through the effort of creating a bubble bath the traditional way, you can always buy Mr. Bubble. It’s quick and doesn’t require elaborate effort.
Bath Salts - If you want your bath to be more than simple aesthetics you don’t want to miss out on bath salts. If you want to get rid of the fatigue accumulated over the week and relax those sore muscles, add Epsom salt in the bath. It also makes the bathwater feel smoother for some people. Moreover, they are cheap and readily available at your local convenience stores.
Add fragrance with essential oils or try out bath oil - Scented candles have worked well to create your relaxing bath ambiance. Add to that fragrance with essential oils. A few drops in your bath water would add a refreshing scent to your bath. If you want to get into the lazy and sleepy mood, try out lavender, germanium, or even rose.
If you don’t like essential oils, you can scent up your bath with bath oil. You can pick one up with your favorite scent and some even keep your skin from drying up inside the hot water.
- Get something on your head - This simple addition makes your bath feel more luxurious and gives you that five-star feel. You can buy plastic bath towels that can be attached to your bath with suction cups. If you want to go all-natural, keep a rolled hand towel under your neck and over your head.
Conclusion
Handy suggests that you take the time to create a relaxing bath experience for yourself once in a while. It doesn’t cost you more than two digits, a bit of your time, and minimal effort. The result is absolutely worth it.
