Life, love, and the pursuit of a good bath.

Life, love, and the pursuit of a good bath.

What a week.  Today is such a TGIF, I can barely begin to tell you. Sure things were seemingly hard at work.  No, I didn’t really get any relief coming home to my family and trying to spend time with my kids.  Yes, they were challenged too.  Husband? He was just as stressed as me.  Something in the the stars this week I guess.  Who knows why?  I do know this: remembering that I am loved and having a good bath is the cure to most of what ails me.

Tonight I will bathe by candlelight.  I will pour a lovely warm bath complete with fresh ingredients from my kitchen.  No, I am not cooking.  I am going to have what I call a “fresh spa” experience.  The fresh ingredients for this bath are as follows:

A cup of salt, a cup of milk, 1 tablespoon of honey, 1 tablespoon each of mint leaves and lavender buds from my garden, and a generous helping of Mystic Chick Bubble Bath.  I will be fresh, sweet, relaxed, moisturized, and most of all, a heck of a lot less stressed.

Try it.  The “fresh spa” is calling your name too.

Chai Spice Chill Out

Scenario: 4 year old son spazzes about seemingly nothing in particular to you only on his big deal-o-meter it’s huge. Mommy gets totally hooked in and mirrors the 4 year olds behavior so perfectly she has to ask herself, “Hey who is the kid here anyway”? Son tells Mommy he needs to be smudged. At least I have done something right. We quickly spray the room with Sage Spray, each other and his sister. There. Feels better Mommy? Right? Yes, but still I decide that tuck in time couldn’t possibly come early enough tonight. After “Not so Stellar” parenting moment #102 (could be a million by now, I’ve lost count). I feel that this Mommy needs a bath pronto. I pour a heaping amount of Pink Colour Bath in there (providing support for Hanson’s theories on love in the world….where’s the love, it’s not enough…it makes the world go round and round and round), a generous handful of my salt mixture, 5 drops of Chai Spice Synergy Oil, and a cup of milk. I made myself one giant Chai latte bath. I soaked in that pink salty Chai Spice bath of yumminess with a cup of tea by my side and a plate of Oreos. Thank you Nabisco. I bet you had no idea that Oreos taste so much better when you are the one submerged in milk!
