Bath (5-minute Freewrite)
I count myself blessed that I have the luxury of water sufficiency to take bath daily. Plus, sometimes an addition of shower if the day is hot and extra humid.
Taking a bath refreshes my body and soul, hence something I always look forward to do. We are so lucky to have a good water system in our country. However, some countries are not so. Therefore, I always tell my children to give thanks for water.
On our recent trip to a church camp where we stayed in hotel, there was a long huge bath tub in the washroom. My sons had a chance to take bath in there while imagining they were swimming in the pool. To them, it was more like a water playtime than a bath. Lol.
On the side note, when Jansen was hospitalised, we were to follow hospital schedule where everyone woke up at 7am and took their bath in the early morning. The nurses told me it was for rejuvenation and hygiene purpose. Also to wash ourselves before the doctors did their rounding. But it was so cold in the morning... And we were still so sleepyyyy....yawn
Oh yes, one more thing before time ends, have you tried salt detox bath before? I heard it is good for body detox while soothing the skin. I haven't tried due to limitation of time. But I did salt foot bath before when I had pre-eclampsia during my 1st pregnancy. It helped the swollen feet. Ginger bath during confinement period is good to expel excessive wind too.
And time is up. Now I am looking forward for a bath later. Ciao... See you next time.

Yes it does sound interesting. Maybe we should try after the tiredness from parenting and busy lifestyle. ♥️

I use himalayan pink salt and epsom salts when I'm having muscular issues. I love taking a bath too.
Here in the US, a bath is considered more of a luxury (strangely) or something for women/children and most people take showers. (Our bathtubs tend to be tiny too.)
In the UK, where I lived for a long time, it's almost the opposite - i.e. almost everyone takes baths - but then many of the power showers in the UK aren't really up to scratch (at least, that's what I found) - and the bathtubs are big enough to handle almost everyone. :-)
One thing I definitely miss being back in the US - a decent bathtub!
Himalayas pink salt - I have it here. Not sure about epsom. I must go scout it out.
Actually most of here take showers too. It is the language usage that plays a trick.
Over here if we bathe (wash hair and body with soap or shower gel) we can consider it as a bath. If we just wash our body, a quick wash we consider it a shower.
Our bath does not necessarily include a tub. So now I start to think maybe we all use it wrongly since young. Our national language is Malay. So most probably we learn it wrong.
:)
Interesting on the language - not everything translates perfectly, I'm very well aware - writing with my Swedish cousins from time to time.
I love learning about language differences though - yes, here in the US (and the UK), we have the worth "bathe" but it's usually in a bathtub - and therefore called a bath. A shower is when the water rains all over us. The shower you are talking about, I would call a "sponge bath" - we don't have a separate word to distinguish between washing hair or not. It's very interesting!
Epsom salts are great for boosting your magnesium intake - and great for sore muscles. Be sure to indulge yourself from time to time - it's good for you!
