With your busy schedule, traveling may be out of the question at the moment. Why not bring the sensations of France to your day by enjoying a relaxing escape in a French-themed bathing experience?
The French are known for taking time out to pamper themselves. You can too by simply running a bath in your Pelham & White tub and adding a few small luxuries to turn your bath into an international destination. Here are a few suggestions for slowing down and pampering yourself so you can meet all those challenging demands in your day-to-day life.
Lavender: Bring the lavender fields of Provence to you with lavender-scented bath salts, essential oils, body scrubs, body washes, and lotions. You can also light a lavender scented candle. Keep a small basket full of such luxuries on a shelf to remind you that a relaxing experience is only minutes away whenever you choose. As an additional treat, add a bouquet of lavender to a vase and place it where you can see it, or perhaps, slowly drop the lavender buds into your bath water.
French Music: In the background, softly play songs by Edith Piaf, including her "La vie en rose," and get lost in her mesmerizing voice. Another choice is a composition by Claude Debussy such as his popular "Clair de Lune."
French Treats: Pour yourself a glass of French champagne, or sparkling water. Place a small plate of Brie, or other favored French cheese next to you to enjoy. Also, add a few French chocolate truffles if you like.
Now, close your eyes and take in the aromas. Visualize a field of waving lavender as the breeze brushes your face. Hear the sounds of French music floating into your consciousness. Slowly open your eyes and take a sip before reaching for that bite of cheese or that chocolate truffle.
A little pampering can go a long way in restoring your energy, and your peace of mind.
