BATHING BEAUTIES

Soaking in a steaming hot bath with candles burning and a few drops of oil or a handful of bath salts puts me in a pretty serious state of zen, not to mention how especially restorative it can be through the cold winter months.

I usually bathe in the evening because it helps me wind down, and by the time I get into bed, I'm nearly asleep. But last Sunday, I took a bath when I first woke up and was surprised the positive affect it had on my entire day. I felt like a gentler version of myself who moved more slowly and savoured every bit of her day.

It's now my mission to try and bathe a few mornings every week. We'll see how that pans out when I'm cosy and warm in my bed. I'll let you know how that goes ...

In honour of my newfound love of morning bathing, here's a compilation of exquisite bathrooms. Even just imagining myself floating in some of these dream tubs puts me at ease.
