Life can be hectic, and sometimes you need to hit pause and indulge in a little self-care. This month, I started a 3o day health challenge and one of my goals was to enjoy a hobby every day. So, what better way to unwind and hobby then with a relaxing bath and book? Transforming your bathroom into a personal oasis can be a delightful experience. Here are some tips to elevate your bath time, featuring cozy reading sessions, fun candles, and my favorite accessories!
Set the Mood with Lighting & Candles
Lighting is key to creating a relaxing atmosphere. Fun candles can add a touch of cozy warmth to your bath. I bought these really cute pink ribbed candles from Amazon that are so fun! I also love the Diptyque candles, but they are a bit pricey. Fun little tip, if your lights don’t dim, unscrew a few lightbulbs in your bathroom! I always do this to make a darker atmosphere!
Create a Cozy Reading Nook
A good book can transport you to another world, making your bath time even more enjoyable. I am currently reading the A Court of Thorns and Roses series and love it! Here’s how to set up a reading nook in your tub:
Bath Tray: Use a bath tray to hold your book, a cup of tea, or a glass of wine. I love this wooden bath tray from target!
Pillow: A waterproof bath pillow always makes the bath more comfy and let’s me stay in the bath longer. I have this bath pillow from Amazon!
Enhance the Experience with Fun Accessories
Adding a few unique accessories can make your bath time feel like a luxurious spa visit:
Bath Bombs: Choose bath bombs with glitter, petals, or fun shapes for a colorful and aromatic soak.
Essential Oils: A few drops of essential oils can provide therapeutic benefits and enhance relaxation.
Bath Salts: Epsom salts can soothe sore muscles and add a touch of luxury to your bath.
Towel Warmer: I received this towel warmer from Amazon as a wedding gift and it is by-far my favorite thing when taking a shower or bath!
Cute towels: I have recently started getting into fun towels, I love this pink floral set of towels for a fun bath touch!
Play Soothing Music or Nature Sounds
Music can set the tone for your bath. Create a playlist with soothing tunes or nature sounds to help you relax. I love to search “Taylor Swift Lofi”on Youtube!
Indulge in a Treat
Snack: Whether it’s a bowl of chips or some chocolate, I love a little bath treat!
Wine or Cocktail: I am a big wine gal, but I also enjoy a Hiyo cocktail too! It makes the bath so relaxing!
Light some fun candles, grab a good book, and treat yourself – you deserve it!
