Living out loud in the Carolinas

But won’t I drown?

I’ve always wanted to be a bath person, but never really was until we bought this house. Our bathtubs have always been small and not so cozy. The tub at the last house was brown and who wants to float around in that? So I was really excited when we were house shopping. High on the list was a big bathtub. And we got it. A big ol white Jacuzzi tub. Jacuzzi name brand, but alas, no jets. Ah well, beggars can’t be choosers. I’m just happy our tubs big enough to actually stretch out in a bit.

I’ve embraced the bath culture full on. My Mom was over the other day and said she’s never known anyone in her entire life with as much product as I have. I’ve got bath milk, beads, oil, fizzies, bubble bath, confetti, body scrubs, candles, apres bath lotions and potions galore.

And I finally allowed myself what I consider to be a ridiculous indulgence- a bath pillow. I bought a cute silver number from Swell at Target tonight. I tried it out as soon as I got home and and loving it. My Mom’s a big fan of her bath pillow and was telling me how she’ll run a bath, climb in and just fall asleep. All I could think of was if I tried that I’d slip under the water and drown in my sleep. Mom said if anyone could do it, it would be me. So I’m happy to report I’m alive and well and completely relaxed from my bath.
