"The next house we live in will have a bath" . I've hmph'd this sentence more times than I can remember to The Husband over the years. And sure enough, the new house came with a tub. And I've been in it 4 times in as many months. Twice with Milky Chops.
And yet just knowing it's there is satisfying enough.
Baths are like a portal. When you find yourself with that elusive spare hour - forget catching up on the chores, exercising, or watching an episode of Broadchurch. Time spent in a bath is an investment. An hour feels like hours. Plug in your iPod or grab a book, thow pour in some flubbles or chuck in a bath bomb and ahhhh, relax!
Now apparently there are some people who don't like baths. Chandler Bing for one. "Stewing in your own filth" is what he likened them too. And I have to admit - showers do have many benefits that baths don't.
- Showers can be relaxing or invigorating.
- Showers are immediate. Baths need to be drawn, showers you just turn on and hop in.
- Showers can be quick. A quick bath is a waste.
- Speaking of waste, we all know that baths waste much more water than even a long shower right?
- Showers are the perfect place to multi task. You don't want to share your bath water with your freshly removed stubble right?
And yet I still will not go back to the days of a bathless house!
Over to you - are you a bath or shower girl? Tell us why below!
I have a bath but never use it! I just don't find the time for it but it is a small goal of mine to make the time more often.
