Take a bath and relax
Bath time can be the most relaxing and enjoyable time of the day. There are so many different things that you can use to enhance your relaxation in that big garden tub of yours. Let's talk about some of the things that can make your bathing experience more relaxing and enjoyable.
How to relax:
Your bathtub can be a major part of your relaxation time. There are many different kinds of tubs available now to fit everyone's needs. Most people have standard size tubs for one person, which can also be very relaxing. Just add some things around it to make it more to your liking. Fill up the tub with your favorite scented bubbles or relaxing oils. The hot water and all those bubbles surrounding you will make you feel special and important.
How to create a romantic atmosphere in your bathroom:
Do you enjoy getting romantic in the tub? Try the garden tub, as it is a good choice for small areas and large enough for a second person to join you. Garden tubs are nice when they are sunken into your floor area. Box the tub in and install a music system into it. Music is always relaxing for everyone. Turn on some good easy listening music or insert a CD, maybe even an mp3 player. Garden tubs and music are just one type of tub that can spice up your day.
When installing a tub for romance and relaxation, be sure to think about where you're going to install it and the seating around it. Your decor means a lot when you're trying to relax and enjoy the surrounding area. Choose a room away from the master bedroom where you can be away from everything and just be alone. Before installing your tub, decide on a theme and how you're going to fill in the empty spaces. Take one end of the room and put up a wall to create a separate place for the stool and a shower, separate from your tub. Putting the sink in the same room as the tub is okay, since you can color and coordinate the colors of both rooms to match the bedroom.
Put mirrors around your tub and box it in, adding inserts at one end for that glass of wine you might want to have while relaxing. Add candles so that when they are lit, they can reflect into the mirrors. Sounds romantic, doesn't it?
Install garden tubs with jets in them. Jets are a good way to get the massage you've been wanting. Some of them even have heaters connected so that your water doesn't get cold. Be careful not to fall asleep and drown in there; it can happen, so don't stay in there too long with the jets on, as they can make you too relaxed. Again, don't forget to add the mirrors and candles.
Put a chair decorated to match your theme in one corner where you can sit to dry off and apply lotion to your feet. After relaxing in that tub, you need to smell good afterwards. A little bit of body lotion goes a long way. Match your lotion scent to go with the oil you've used to take the smells with you when you're done. Body lotions are affordable, and you can find coupons, deals, sales, clearances, etc. online to help you save money.
