Bathing: An art form
Things necessary for a great soak in the tub:
Hot water
A good book
Bubbles AND oil
Soap
The trick with a bath is to make it as hot as you can bear. Get in when it is just deep enough to come past your crotch… turn down the water strength, but let the hot keep flowing in.
Recline.
Read book for 30 minutes.
Keep adjusting water with toes until it reaches the overflow, but if you still have hot water in the geyser – keep going. That’s what the overflow is for!
Spend four minutes scrubbing.
Remove self from bath, looking like a bright red prune, squeaky clean, before the water even remotely resembles cold.
