This is for all the people who think baths are gross and believe you're just floating in your own filth. I am here to prove you wrong.
In my experience, bath time is the only good thing left in the world. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but having a bath is still one of the greatest things ever.
Bath time is a sacred thing for me and when it's that time of the week, I go all out.
In general, I honestly can't shower without music and without it getting awkward if you saw me in the shower you would think I was Beyoncé. I mean I absolutely kill Nicki Minaj's verse in the "Flawless Remix."
Although when it comes to bath time, you need a playlist that has a mix of soothing songs and powerful ballads. Music always sets the tone for whatever you're doing and if you want the ultimate bath time experience, you have to have some banging tunes. If you're interested, I have my very own playlist right here.
To take your bath to the next level, take a little adventure to Lush. Lush is honestly one of my favorite smelling places next to Bath and Body Works. If you're looking for some sweet scents, hit up Lush and you will enter a world you will not be able to escape. I swear I've spent hundreds of dollars in this store and I am not ashamed. And if you're feeling adventurous, buy a bath bomb! Bath bombs are so freaking cool and are just fun to look at when they're in action.
Also, if you're not into bath bombs, you can get some sweet bubble bath stuff and experience that tragic mess. I'm sorry, I was supposed to support bubbles. Uh, yeah, they're great...
Like I mentioned before, Bath and Body Works is also one of my favorite smelling places. So to add to your bath time ambiance, you can light a few candles. If you already own some, good for you. You have your life together slightly more than me. But if you're an impulsive mess like me, spend $60 on some great smelling candles. Candles just make the whole experience so fun. Unless you accidentally cause a house fire because the candles you bought caught your curtains on fire and ultimately led to burning the majority of your belongings. Yeah, that probably won't be fun.
Once you're soaking in those suds, you're going to need something to do besides questioning your existence. I recommend bringing a book you've been reading or you can even grab your phone. And if you're like me, you can watch an entire season of Grey's Anatomy and realize you now look like a prune because you've been soaking for hours. But if you end up dropping your phone, then you didn't read this article and take my advice.
If you really want to go the extra mile, why not buy some bath toys? Who cares if the cashier at Target asked if you had a niece you were buying them for? If you want to play with a rubber ducky or a toy boat, then you play with them. No one will know because bath time is a sacred time.
I hope you take many baths in the year to come and remember: the only way you can make bath time a fun time is by making it your time. And then maybe you'll be able to enjoy it as much as my little brother!
