A nice relaxing bubble bath with epsom salts and a cup of tea.
Relaxing… to be honest when ever I read, hear or say this word I get a bit of anxiety.
I am the type of person who has to be on the go all the time. It frustrates my family, boyfriend and at times myself. When I was a baby I used to copy the yellow pages onto my chalkboard, in my teens I would sort beads into their different colours and as an adult I go to the gym to tire my mind and body.
To be able to sit still and relax is one of the hardest things to do and something I’m working on in 2015. But I’ve realised as I’m getting older *insert sad face* I need to listen to my body and make time each week for myself. What I like to call ‘Kate Time’.
I’m making the habit of ending each working week with a Crossfit Class; followed by a relaxing bubble bath at home. I’ve noticed everyone has their own ‘concoction’ of items they put in their bath. I’m sticking with the basic’s… epsom salts and some bubble bath liquid from The Body Shop (it has an amazing peach smell) + a smidge of Himalayan Salt. Followed by my bath pillow, cup of green tea and my current reading obsession (Safe Haven – Nicholas Sparks), it’s a prefect combination.
How do you take time out to relax?
Are there any must-have products to use for the bath?
