A Bath Can Save the Day

on October 8, 2008 at 12:00 PM

If it's not one thing, it's another, right? Your kid missed the bus, you forgot your cell phone at home, the layoffs in your company are worrying you, you had money in savings at WaMu...it all adds up to stress. I don't know about you, but this photo is the answer to unwind after a hair-pulling kind of day.

After the kids are asleep, draw a bath, get a cocktail of your choice, light some candles, and relax. Don't forget to add in a really great body wash. I love Lavanila's Healthy Body Wash in vanilla grapefruit ($20 from Sephora). It smells soft and sweet, and it's all natural. No chemicals! Full of anti-oxidants, it's good for your skin. It's the perfect Friday night activity...with or without your significant other involved!

How do you unwind after a stressful day?

About the author Michele Zipp

loves vintage and will defend skinny jeans to the death though she is highly superstitious and "death" is probably a bad word choice. She has a touch of the hoarding disease and enjoys sleuthing, the worst reality shows, and wearing high heels, even at the playground. She's an AP mom of twins, slightly crunchy but with a pedicure.

after a stressful day, sleeping is my activity. hehe ;) I have to agree though a nice warm bubbly bath sure rejuvenates the body. I've been learning more about how to take care of myself lately and have been getting into doing home facials and self pedicures. Besides it being good for you it sure can boost one's self esteem.

I would love to end my day with a warm bath with candles and the whole nine yards. But that would even be work for me. The only bathtub in my house is my daughters. It's full of toys and all her stuff. I told my husband that the next house we move into has to have an awesome tub!!
