Soak It Up!

 

Bathing is an experience I enjoy almost every day. I can’t go to sleep cold, so warming up at the end of the day is a must, especially in the winter. (I can’t fall asleep with cold feet!) In addition to warming up, it’s also a little ‘me’ time to unwind and relax after the day's events. 

I try hard not to bring my phone into the tub, unless I want to watch a show or do a crossword or two. However I do use this time to catch up on saved articles on my phone. I’ve also been known to do a little work, GASP! That being said, flipping through a magazine or reading a few pages of a book is also a go-to, but I find I fall asleep easily while reading. With the warmth of the water, and relaxed feel, I’m sure to end up with a submerged book. Not ideal!

On top of the mental and emotional benefits, there are several physical advantages to bathing: 

  • Causes your heart to beat faster providing you a healthy workout.

  • Increases lung capacity and oxygen intake.

  • Kills bacteria and improves immunity.

  • Relieves symptoms of cold and flu.

  • Ensures hydration in all aspects - enhance this experience with oils or salts.

  • Regulates your body temperature if you’re feeling cold.


RELAXATION

Candles and music are sure to set the mood for a relaxing bath. Include a book, fresh flowers, and your favorite bath salts or bubbles to elevate your experience.


SELF-CARE

Whatever you’re in the mood for, go ahead and indulge! Watch your favourite show, do a face mask, journal, or heck!, all of the above, taking this time to focus on you is a great way to get the most out of your bath.

Tip:

Extend your experience and add benefit by locking in moisture with body lotion or oils.


CLEANSING

Rather than shower, I often opt to take a quick bath to rinse off. Keep a beautiful bar of soap, a loofa, wash cloth, and any cleansers beside your tub so they’re easily accessible.

 

Tip:

Be sure to rinse out your bathtub after bathing. It’ll help reduce residue buildup from bath oils and salts. 


Enhance your bathing experience by creating your own tub customized tea bags

Most refilleries will have bulk dried goods to purchase as much as you’d like. Keeping an assortment means you can customize your blend depending on your needs and mood. While the options are endless, we put together three common combinations, and highlight the benefits they offer.  

Place 1 heaping tbsp of each herb and dried floral combination in a tea bag. Cinch tight. Much like brewing a cup of tea, it’s as simple as running a hot tub and adding your tea bag to the water. 

Enjoy!
