I used to think taking baths instead of showers was the hygiene equivalent of rubbing your bare pussy on a crowded subway pole but lately I’ve realized baths are amazing and everytime I take one I feel reconnected with Old Testament god and myself

I’ve noticed that baths tend to have a certain stigma to them in modern society. In the past, when I’ve communicated my love for baths to family, friends, and strangers on the street, I’ve been met with judgement and condescension. Are you a legit baby?, Grow up!, Time for you to enter the 21st Century! When you experience someone belittling you for your love of baths, it hits you in a deep part of your soul. I shouldn’t have to defend myself for taking a relaxing bath 2-3 times a day! It’s time for everyone to wipe the dust off their tubs, hop in, and rediscover the joy of baths!

~So I’ve gotten into taking baths. I can’t explain it but it feels more analog. I used to think of it as a more time consuming option but now I feel it’s actually more efficient. The pressure of designating time for it to be both functional and experiential leads to letting myself get bored, which brings about a clear but gentle conclusion. Boredom is a luxury. I used to think new thoughts so often out of boredom, but now it feels like I’m trying to be productive or I’ve left my body entirely, so I’ve been leaning in to get back to active boredom. There are plenty of ways to make it an experience. The only time I’ll drink ice in a drink is in a bath, because effectively you’re already a soup. So drinking la croix or gatorade on ice in the bath is a crazy experience to feel your guts being all cold and your skin being warm. A good way to get back into my body is to make it the intersection of polarizing temperatures. I also love the idea of robes but I can’t figure out when I’m meant to wear one, and the best I can tell is around bathtime. I love putting the Dr Teals Lavender salts right under the faucet because it either dissolves them or disperses them from jump as it’s filling, and then the Almond Cleansing Oil from Trader Joes is a moisturizing option for your cleansing tasks that take place as you’re brining your body in salt.

I’ve been spending more time on self-care and recently discovered the luxury of taking a hot bath. It’s fantastic. I love turning my little bathroom into a spa. Lighting up some candles, and really committing to relaxation.
