My perfect bath is fragrant, bubbly, and very, very full of almost-too-hot-to-bear water. The perfect accompaniment to the perfect bath is, in my opinion, a really easy-to-read novel, such as a Fannie Flagg. One just has to be careful not to drop it in, especially if it's a library book.
Unfortunately, my city is in drought and long baths are ill-advised. Even showers should be limited to 4 minutes only.
One of these days, I will live somewhere where water is bountiful, and then the bubbles and the hot, hot water will be mine once more.
Some say the only place to eat a mango is in a bath. Cleopatra is said to have bathed in asses' milk.
What is your favourite way to enjoy a bath?

I'm the same - hot, radox, bubbles, candles and a good book. Of course, enough candle light to actually read! In summer, I adore cold baths. Unfortunately, we have high water restrictions as well so baths are maybe once a month.
On a slightly adult note, The Dutch Boy and I shared a bath on Saturday night and it was just blissful and relaxing. No funny business, no talking, just relaxing.
I love a hot, bubly bath too! I find no matter what stress I have it calms me and makes me happy.
I once dropped a library book in my bath. I took it back fully intending to pay for it as it was a bit wavy for the pages. They just laughed and said they are so glad I enjoyed the book.
I still read them in the bath but am VERY careful.
Enjoyed this post!
Oh, Kate, I feel for you. I too love baths especially at the end of a long day! I love to read a book or do a puzzle (soduko...or however it's spelled). You can come and visit me, I even have heated floors in the bathrooms.
My favourite way to enjoy a bath is to not get in. I'd rather climb into bed to read a good book.
I'm a shower girl...the quicker the better. Four minutes is a really loooonnnnggg shower for me. That would be washing hair, shaving legs and washing walls while I'm there too.
Mmmm- that does sound good...maybe we sould be off to warm bubbly water!! we laughed so hard at your comment- we decided maybe the ultimate, ultimate pumpkin recycling would be to stack, paint, then eat...all in a good days work!!! thanks for the smiles!!
blessings,

Oh! you have left me drooling, I'm in the same boat as you or should I say drought. Unfortunately the only bath I have is half buried in the yard near the house and I must say I have lost count of the times I have thought about digging it up,filling it up with water, lighting a fire underneath, putting up some sort of screen,lighting some candles, pouring in fragrance, sipping on wine and......I told you I was drooling :)
I agree with you, that there is nothing better than a hot, bubbly bath and good novel. :)

I no longer enjoy baths. While the idea is delicious, laying back in the tub puts unbearable pressure on my arthritis neck. Even a rolled up towel doesn't help. I really, really miss lovely, hot, bubbly soaks. A less than 3 minute shower, no matter how hot, just isn't the same.
Candle light, a little jazz in the i-pod, scented bubbles, a soft towel to lay my head on.....oh for a moment of bliss!
Hope all is well with you all.

That picture is the cutest!
With the jacuzzi jets on...I am aweful with a book, somehow it always manages to get damp...perhaps I need to turn down the jacuzzi jets?
sending a hug...love you Kate!
