Three Red Houses

 

January 8 is National Bubble Bath Day. It’s easy to celebrate. If you have bubble bath, use it. If you don’t, make your own with a cup of light oil (almond, sunflower or canola), half a cup of honey, half a cup of mild liquid hand soap, and a tablespoon of vanilla. Stored in a covered Mason jar, this makes enough for four baths. If you’re a child, bubble baths are more fun with a few tub toys. If you’re not, adding a few scented candles, some soft music and your favorite beverage may be just the thing to help you unwind at the end of a stressful day. If you need more encouragement, remember soaking in a warm bath can burn calories. It can relieve congestion and soothe a cough. It can reduce tension, ease sore muscles and help you sleep better. It can stimulate serotonin production, improving your sense of well-being.
