Just looking at a bath makes me calm. It's sad that I've lived without one for so long, but I'm happy to report that our new apartment in Virginia has a bathtub. It's not just any bathtub, it's one of those bigger ones that require entire bottle of bubbles, rose petals, scented candles, and a tray for my truffles and hot cocoa.
Uhh... can you tell I've missed having a bath? To me, baths aren't for getting clean; they're for relaxing, reading, eating, and pretending I'm a glam socialite with nothing to do but soften my skin while thinking about my quarter-life memoir.
Crap. Not quarter. It's third now.
Whatever. It doesn't matter because I have a balcony, a bathtub, and a hot man to share it with.
Are you a bath person?
Any bubbles/soap/bath cleaner you'd recommend?
All photos from Elle Decor. It looks like I'm obsessed with bathing in public with all those windows. I'm not. But if you've got it, flaunt it, right? I'm so kidding. That's weird. Close the blinds, people!

I love Vaseline's Milk and Honey powdery stuff. Epsom Salts with Lavender Oil is nice, too. Stay away from soapy bubble bath stuff as they can cause bladder infections. Sometimes working in healthcare can really ruin a girl's girly stuff. The stories you hear and the things you see....the horror!
Totally loving this!!!!!
WE don't even have a shower, I've had two showers in my life and couldn't take the stress!
Love baths!

Oh having a bath has always been a requirement in my apartments. Of course, it was one of those negotiable requirements, but secretly I would always find something else wrong with the place if it didn't have a bath. I hope my next place has a big ole comfy bathtub instead of the standard shower/bath, but hey, I'll take what I can get for now.
i love baths!!!
for the last night of our honeymoon my husband said we could book up a fancy hotel...so i looked around for the hotel with the fanciest bath tub!
i think you would have loved it...

I am strictly a bath person - I don't think I've used a shower in years.
I feel the same way about you regarding the windows though. My bathtub has this huge window right next to it {with blinds, of course}, that I find terrifying. I always have to move my cat into the other room when I bathe because she has a tendency to move the blinds around and no one needs a peepshow! :P
I love baths! I take them in the evenings (most evenings) with my book and a candle and occasionally a glass of wine. If you have a headache or just really want to relax, drop some lavender essential oil under the running water. It will smell heavenly and really relax you!
So I'm not the only one who ponders her memoir? Whew, that's good to know!
But seriously, those tubs are amazing!!
absolute bath person. must have one at night to unwind , calm down and start fresh ( the night :) ) my hat off to you for living without one - i would die. literally. it's such an absolute must for my nerves and body :)

I am not a bath person unless I'm sick. I just hate when the water cools down and I don't like the idea of sitting in my own... well, you know.
I'm a total bath person even though I haven't had one of years! lol that sounds funny. I only use my shower but in one of my future homes I want to have a claw footed tub! Enjoy your new one!! =)

I love baths but I have none in my house... These days I do it when I travel and my hotel has a nice tub... Total relaxation!
I really don't enjoy taking baths! I think this might be because it takes SO long for ours to fill, and then once I'm in I get bored...! Then again, if I had a bathroom like those I may change my mind... x
I'm not really a bath person, but I've always wanted a claw foot tub. They are just so chic. he he he. :)

*sigh* Oh a bathtub!!! Oh how I want a real bathtub!!! Don't get me wrong, I can take a bath in my apartment.. But the experience is limited by the width and depth of my bathtub. Not quite the experience I am hoping for!!!
Yay for your new place!!
Ps I highly recommmend Lush's bath bombs. They are fantastic. They are kind of expensive, but wonderful for a treat now and then :)
Oh boy, bathtub! We have a shower/tub combo, and while it works in a pinch, I dream of an enormous bath that demands a tray for truffles!
I am so a bath person! I don't have an option to be one though really since I don't have a shower {the joy of a turn of the century home} so once I got used to slowing down, I actually really enjoy my bath time now. It's like being a kid all over again. Might as well take a breather and sit quietly for a moment. =) I'm all about the essential oils. Lavender is a no brainer. Also like frankincense and eucalyptus for more earthy scents.
I don't think I could make it without a bathtub lol!! its were I sneak away, I have a big window shelf about it filled with books. Well congrats on having a bath tub again!! let the bubble baths commence!! ~Love Heather
I feel like I love the concept of baths, but I never make myself slow down enough to actually take one. Changing that tonight! Thanks for the inspiration. :)
i'm not so much a bath person but i really wish i was! they look so relaxing and soothing. :)
I AM a bath person. It calms me down from a stressful day. :)

These are all so dreamy. I love a good bath with a great book.
I have to say I am decidedly team shower. In fact, I can hardly stand to take baths at all, but I do love a shower. I always feel too bony for bathtubs or something, maybe I'm just not doing it right :) Plus, I'm restless :)
I like the idea of being a bath person... especially with the hot man part. Mo is 6'4'' though... It doesn't quite work with the two of us. so the dream is to someday have a HUGE bathtub we can share. :)
i love a good bath. just every now and again. UNFORTUNATELY the apartment where i have lived for 8+ years has a TERRIBLE BATHTUB. so bad that it just isn't worth it to take a bath in it! so i reserve the occasional bath for when i am in a hotel. and the bonus is that i don't have to clean the tub after i use it! ;)
