Make your next bath a spa experience!!

When was the last time you took a bath? No, I mean instead of a shower. During your work week, you wake up late, quickly shower, and go on about your stressful daily activities. But when do you take time for yourself?

Taking baths are beneficial to your physical and mental health...and your budget!! Had a long day or week? Why go to one of those expensive day spas when you can wind down with a nice, warm, soothing bath in the comfort of your own home. Studies have shown that taking a bath lowers the blood pressure and releases toxins. While you're in there you can release stress, reflect and possibly clear your mind to focus on things to come. You can add a  bath bomb to soften your water, moisturize you skin and uplift your mood. Baths also promote a good night's sleep so that you can recharge and better manage your upcoming day.

If the kids are at Grandma's and hubby is out for poker night,
Here's a recipe for your at-home spa time:

• Draw warm bath. (Not too hot though, super hot water can raise the blood pressure and defeat the purpose)
• Light a scented soy candle
• Turn on your favorite music
• Drop in  an inexpensive scented bath bomb
• Get in and soak!!

Soooo.....what are you waiting for??
