“[My
guilty pleasure is a] deep, eco-unfriendly, hot bath. Preferably with a glass
of champagne and someone sitting on the loo seat gossiping.” ~Prue Leith
A
long, hot, oily bath* can do wonders for you at the end of an over-scheduled
day, at the beginning a weekend or a-in-the-middle-of-the-day-treat on a Sunday.
People
are so busy these days that the idea of a long, leisurely soak in the tub surrounded
by scented candles with soft, relaxing music filling the room with no deadline
seems like a luxury. But a simple bath can
relax muscles, calm your mind, detoxify (if you make the water hot, hot),
moisturize, stimulate circulation and clear your lymph system. And the cherry on the sundae: Bathing has also
been proven to lead to a better night’s sleep and who can’t use that?
Morsel
for the Day: Don’t feel any guilt for taking the time to indulge in a
soul-soothing bath.
Scented
bath salts are an inexpensive way to perfume your body and according to the
Smell & Taste Research Foundation in Chicago, lemon scents have a
mood-lifting, anti-depressant-like effect while green apple scents seem to help
reduce headache pains.

low blood pressure check with your doctor before indulging in water that is too
hot.
