But somewhere between raising kids and trying to remember what day it is, I realized that self-care can be as simple as a warm, relaxing bath.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">So, in honor of <strong data-start=\"942\" data-end=\"975\">Bubble Bath Day (January 8th)<\/strong>, here are a few simple, real-life ways to make your bath time feel just a little more like peace and a little less like another chore. Here are five simple, realistic ways to make your bath feel restorative\u2026 even on a busy winter weeknight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1119\" data-end=\"1172\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1. Create the Mood Before You Turn on the Water<\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1174\" data-end=\"1213\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lighting matters and so does sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1426\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Dim the lights, add a small candle or two (real or flameless), and play a calm playlist. I just ask Alexa (we have one without the video function in our bathroom) to play \u201cInstrumental Acoustic\u201d and call it good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1215\" data-end=\"1426\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em data-start=\"1542\" data-end=\"1660\"><strong>Tip:<\/strong> If doing real candles, keep a lighter or small book of matches in the bathroom so you don\u2019t have to go searching.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1667\" data-end=\"1713\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">2. Use Real Ingredients, Not Just Scents<\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1715\" data-end=\"1857\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A lot of bubble bath products are full of fragrance, and many are synthetic. I have gotten headaches from some fragrances, so stick to natural! One I like is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4oED74v\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><strong>The Honest Company Foaming Bubble Bath<\/strong><\/a>.<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It is gentle enough for babies, made without the harmful chemicals, and it makes plenty of bubbles! My favorite is Lavender Calm but there are few scents and a scent-free option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1715\" data-end=\"1857\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If bubbles aren\u2019t for you, try mixing in a few natural elements for a softer soak.

It\u2019s naturally full of fats and lactic acid, which help soften and soothe without any chemicals. It\u2019s said that Cleopatra used to do this\u2026 so why not use it today! The ideal amount of milk depends on what you are after.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Purpose<\/span><\/th>\n<th><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Amount<\/span><\/th>\n<th><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Notes<\/span><\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Mild softening + hydration<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1 to 2 cups of milk<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Perfect for regular use, you\u2019ll get gentle lactic acid exfoliation and fatty-acid moisture.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Deeper moisturizing or visible glow<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1 to 2 quarts<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is closer to traditional \u201cmilk bath\u201d levels (Cleopatra-style).

Oats contain natural anti-inflammatory compounds called avenanthramides.

When I can, I try to feature American made products\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3K1qZey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">so check out this 2 person American made 100% Cotton towel set by Red Land Cotton.<\/a> They are pricey\u2026 but they are American made with American Cotton and if we want more American made products, we have to buy them!<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"2488\" data-end=\"2541\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Set out your <strong data-start=\"2501\" data-end=\"2517\">softest robe<\/strong> or oversized sweater.<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2488\" data-end=\"2541\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Have a glass of <strong data-start=\"2560\" data-end=\"2583\">water or herbal tea<\/strong> nearby (hydration counts here, too).<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2488\" data-end=\"2541\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Give yourself a <strong>honey facial<\/strong>. Simply spread a thin layer over your face and leave it for 15 minutes. You can do this in or out of the bath. If doing it in the bath, just keep your face out of the water until time to rinse. The honey will only add to the water, so no worries about that.<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2488\" data-end=\"2541\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">After drying, use your favorite lotion or oil to hydrate your skin. I use coconut oil, shea butter, or tallow\u2026 depending on how I feel.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2624\" data-end=\"2692\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Little comforts turn a 20-30 minute bath into something that feels more luxurious.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2699\" data-end=\"2741\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">4. Leave Your Phone Outside the Room<\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2743\" data-end=\"2841\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\u2019s tempting to scroll while soaking, but the best baths happen when you disconnect completely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2843\" data-end=\"2990\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You don\u2019t need guided meditations or affirmations\u2026 just quiet. The sound of the water and the sound of your own breathing, that\u2019s your real reset. When you get quiet, you will be surprised at what will come to you. You might find clarity to a problem or think of a new project or remember something you missed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2843\" data-end=\"2990\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you play music and don\u2019t have an Alexa, then bring your phone but put it on the counter\u2026 away from you. Make a commitment not to touch it when you get out until you are dried, dressed, and reset.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2997\" data-end=\"3033\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5. Add Intention to the Bath Experience<\/span><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"3035\" data-end=\"3141\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You don\u2019t have to make your bath \u201cproductive.\u201d You don\u2019t even need to wash, baths are for soaking, showers are for washing (not that you can wash a bit, but the purpose isn\u2019t to clean). However, you can use it to signal things you struggle doing. <\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3035\" data-end=\"3141\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For instance\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"3035\" data-end=\"3141\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you struggle with dry cracked feet, use the last minute of the bath to exfoliate them or use a foot mask after the bath.<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-start=\"3035\" data-end=\"3141\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If your nerves are frazzled and you are finding it harder to relax in general, let the bath signal to you to think of three things you are grateful for\u2026 then repeat every bath.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The bath becomes a relaxing ritual but also a trigger to other things. This is a great way to set yourself up for success long term!<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"399\" data-end=\"537\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You don\u2019t need a fancy spa or an uninterrupted afternoon to rest. Sometimes peace is just a few bubbles, a candle, and a quiet room.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"544\" data-end=\"662\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">However you soak, magnesium, milk, or just warm water\u2026 let it remind you that care doesn\u2019t have to be complicated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">I would love to hear what you add to your bath to elevate your bath experience.
