people who say its sitting in your own dirt can stuff it. gimme a little epsom salt or a dr.teals bath soak, a book, a candle, and some soft music. ~phenomenal~
why would i stand to bathe ? turning off the faucet with my toe makes me feel so regal. epsom salts with eucalyptus. my body is working hard, i deserve to soak. my roommates can wait. bring bath toys (make sure waterproof), a kindle, a candle, maybe even some blue gatorade. fuck it!
The bathing experience is immediately enhanced by being alone at home (any time pressure whatsoever is disruptive) and adding any or all of the following elements:
- lavender bubble bath or bath oil
- epsom salts
- laptop on laundry basket playing a reality show (mid-low volume)
- lit candle or oil heater thingie
- book
- podcast playing from phone (but do not disturb on)
Doesn’t have to be an all-evening affair. warm with some cheap epsom salts and drops of essential oil will soak through your skin and calm you. Take your tea in there, listen to three songs. It resets.
this is one of this annoying things that actually makes a difference and makes your mom say I told you so. there's something about a made bed that makes me feel like my life is just that little bit more together and getting into a made bed at night is one of my top 10 favorite mundane experiences.
potatoes, oysters, mussels, beaches, dunes, lush fields, childhood dreams of anne of green gables fulfilled. amazing food, incredibly kind people, and beautiful landscapes. truly what more can you ask for.
