We’re all trying to do life perfectly.
Perfect friend. Perfect work ethic. Perfect partner. Perfect version of ourselves.
So even if we’re tired, we don’t stop, we push ourselves. We show up anyway. We keep the plans. We keep the smile. We keep saying yes, even when our body is quietly asking for less.
Nothing looks wrong on our faces, but inside, something feels heavy.
Sometimes eight hours of sleep isn’t enough, because what we need isn’t rest, it’s release.
That’s when we can take a bubble bath. These three kinds actually can help.
If stress has turned into a full-blown headache:
Don’t fight it. Fill the tub with hot water and add pink salt, put enough amount of pink salt so the water feels heavier than usual. Now, don’t jump in. Step in slowly, like you’re easing yourself out of the day, not escaping it. Let the heat hit your shoulders last, that’s where stress likes to sit. Add two drops of eucalyptus and one of bergamot oil, light a sandalwood candle, put a very soothing instrumental music and then just close your eyes, this is where your brain finally hands things over and lets the water take charge.
Are you tired, doing everything right, and still not sleeping properly?
You go to bed on time. You try to sleep. You even close your eyes early. And yet, you really cannot sleep, and wake up the next morning just as tired. If that sounds familiar, try this one.
Fill the tub with warm water, add extra bubbles and a lavender and chamomile oil mix. This combination is known to gently calm your nerves, once you’re in, just lie back and close your eyes. Let the warmth relax your body while the aroma gently quiets your thoughts. Use a soft floral body wash, like jasmine or peony, light a cotton or linen candle and please leave your phone outside the bathroom. This bath isn’t about falling asleep faster; it’s about helping your body to finally relax.
If you feel drained and just want your energy back:
Keep the water luke warm, not too hot. This one isn’t about melting into the tub. Skip any kind of heavy salts and add sweet orange oil with a hint of rosemary. It gently wakes you up without pushing you. Use a rose or freesia wash, and light a citrus or light vanilla candle, then put on music you’ve heard a hundred times and somehow never get tired of. It can bring back your sweetest memories, where you were happy and relaxed, this bath isn’t about energy drinks or motivation; it gently pulls you back into balance.
So, which one are you trying tonight? Let me know, I’m all ears in the comments.
I can understand why!🤣
