Bubbles Bring Me Joy

The term self-care is all the rage today and somehow stealing some time to grab a bath as your self-care routine got a bad rap.  Of course, in the perfect world, I would argue that a bath should not, and would not, be your only form of self-care.  

But, I live in a space where I'm trying to incorporate work, family, friends, volunteering, and everything else that, "brings me joy" with my life. There are times when my definition of self-care is a long, or short, hot bath.  It's soap full of color, bath bombs with scents that take me back to my favorite locations, and lotions that I feel good applying on my skin.  

So, what am I saying? I'm saying that if all you have is 15 minutes, and sometime away locked in your bath sounds really good for your mental health, go for it!  You don't need extra guilt that you can't incorporate something else in or that you don't want to give up things that truly do give you joy.   Enjoy those bubbles!
