National Bubble Bath Day is January 8. It's a great reminder of the simple relaxing pleasures in life. If you are a single woman or part of a couple, a bubble bath is a great way to relax or have a quiet intimate moment.
A bath allows you to slow down and relish the warm fragrant waters. As a child, perhaps you saw the Mr. Bubble commercials and may have even experimented with the liquid or powder product for clean-up time in the tub.
As adults, many of us have forsaken this ritual for the sake of saving time and water.
So, if you feel like celebrating National Bubble Bath Day or want to enjoy this bygone ritual, here are some easy tips.
For a single occupancy bath:
• Run a luxurious bubble bath when you get home.
• Tie your hair up in a bun.
• Avoid drying out your skin by adding a bit of oil to the water (baby oil is fine).
• Light some candles for ambiance.
• Grab a magazine or a book.
• Roll up a small towel and use as a neck pillow.
• Grab a glass of wine or other beverage of your pleasure.
• Enjoy.
