A nice hot bath is pleasant. But if you have the time, why not go all out and make it even more pleasurable? Indulge yourself a bit and have a relaxing, refreshing experience that leaves you feeling less stressed and ready to face the world again.
        The basic rule of thumb is to think in terms of appealing to as many of your senses as you can. Scented bath oil, for instance, appeals to your sense of smell while a bit of chocolate delights your taste buds. A flickering candle can be a pleasurable sight....and, well I think you get the idea.
 Some suggestions:
1. If you like the soft flicker of candlelight, put a few candles near the tub, making sure they aren't near the toilet paper or anything flammable. I like to put mine on a mirrored surface to enhance the light but any nonflammable surface will do.

2. Consider having something nice to eat or drink while you're bathing - some dark chocolate (the tannens actually are supposed to be good for you) or something to drink. If you like sticky foods, go for it because the water will wash all the stickiness away. Toasted marshmallows, anyone?

3. An over the tub rack with a book holder can be great for reading in the tub but if you prefer to simply soak your troubles away, perhaps some scented oil or bath salts would be preferable.

4. I really like those inflatable pillows that you can put behind your neck while bathing.

5. If the water tends to stay too low in your tub, you can get a special device that stops it from flowing out and have a deeper bath.

6. To complete the experience, make sure you have some nice, fluffy towels on hand and perhaps some comfry slippers and nice soft pajamas or a nightgown.

Then drift into bed, tension soothed away, feeling pampered and relaxed.
