#42: Have a Bubbly Bubble Bath

I had a lot of baths before cancer, but I never really understood the whole luxurious, indulgent, bubble bath experience you see on TV, in the movies and commercials until starting chemotherapy.


Many of treatment's side-effects made me appreciate a hot bath more than I could before. These included: not having to worry about ruining my hair (I had none); needing to soothe my stiff, achey joints that made walking up and down the stairs a challenge; and warming myself up from a coldness I had never experienced before. For all these reasons, and other, immeasurable mental health reasons, bubble baths became a daily occurrence for me during treatment.

The physical me doesn't need bubble baths anymore (although they are a lot easier with short hair). But the mental me does. After a week of working 12 hour days, the thank-god-I'm-finally-home-after-such-a-hard-day bubble bath has been my saving grace. Clearing your mind while indulging your physical self is the best way to wrap up a long work day.

So now you know where I'll be for the next 10-15 minutes. Peace out!

    Have you ever thought about publishing an ebook or guest authoring on other websites? I have a blog based upon on the same information you discuss and would really like to have you share some stories/information. I know my audience would value your work. If you are even remotely interested, feel free to send me an email. https://royalcbd.com/product/cbd-oil-1000mg/

    raditional unsupported baths fall into various general classes with respect to their overall shape, two different issues of equivalent significance are the style of foot and the sort of tap fittings required. Inflatable Hot Tubs
