I get a giant 32 oz. thing of water, Netflix/Pandora, baby oil, and my fascia blaster massager and scrubscrubscrub the fat spots on my thighs and butt with my clawed torture device. My bath is not so much relaxing as it is a workout/deep tissue massage in warm water.
@Nerdchild my butt pain needs that massager and also I totally thought you were talking about a different type of massager and that type of bath sounds awesome right now
Running my bath right now just plain water at the moment.. but I have my camelbak waterbottle and a bowl of chocolate peanut butter ice cream calling my name. Pandora in the background is also a great idea..... might have to steal that one.

Haha, I realize how that could have sounded now. Want me to pm you about the massager? (I don't want to spam the board up).

My go-to is normally some sort of amazing ice cream, but tonight it's a Honeycrisp apple that I am cutting with a knife mmmmm. We have a deep soaker tub w jets, so add some bubbles and away we go! So relaxing
My favorite is a bubble bar from Lush because I am a sucker and buy those delicious $8 smellies. I usually just have water and I've been listening to Serial season 2. It doesn't have the same spark as the first season.

I have been going through 2 Honeycrisps a day. It's my favorite (followed by Ambrosia apples). I might go have one before dinner. Yum!
TMI, but I've noticed that I'm only constipated following days I don't eat my apples!
My son got a bubble bath with my lavender bubbles and I even put in a couple drops of lavender oil for him lol. We listened to Pandora disney music and I sang along for him while I hopped in the shower. (And yes he was safe, there's no door on the shower so I could see him at all times and he was only maybe 3 feet away.) I'm REALLY hoping I get my own tomorrow. I'm thinking milk and honey and some essential oils. Mmmmmm
My last one was lavender bath salts, lavender bubbles, half of a left over carne asada burrito with extra guac, and CSI on hulu. At four am. The good life.
I had a bath last week. I might need another one this week. My bath is one of those shower/bath combos. So not that great. I also don't put bubbles in because they'll cause a UTI. Ugh! I would love a bubble bath! Usually I only have water and quietness. All.by.myself.

Ooooh I just switched from bubbles to lavender Epsom salt (Dr. Teal's brand maybe? From Taget, for whoever asked above). I take my kindle with me (love a good detective story or legal thriller!) and turn on the sound of rain (it's the Oregonian in me). I usually have water, but haven't snacked in there yet, though I just set some chocolates in there last night for next time. Oh, and I also take my thermometer because I like hot baths.
I've never been a bath person but with stress and being tired lately, I got Dr. Teal's lavender Epsom salts from the grocery store (Publix) and tried out my jetted tub for the first time (we moved in June 2015). It was pretty great but my attention span for that activity was still pretty low. No snacks, just read for a little bit (like maybe 15 minutes) and then was out.
@linzerbinzer I think if I found my nature sounds CD I'd stay in longer. Great suggestion
Espom salts and lavender essential oil are my bath go-to right now... (Helps so much with tired achy muscles!) Why have you planted the idea of snacks in the bath?! I haven't done that yet!
After reading this thread I think I'm going to clean my tub and use it. My friend bought me some amazing bath items from bed bath and beyond that smell amazing!!!

Baths are always ruined by a small blonde toddler. He has a blast, but it isn't that relaxing for me
Omg so much this. I actually fell asleep in the bath a month or so before I was pregnant and I woke up to ds tapping my head and butt naked. As soon as I opened my eyes he started climbing in with me saying he wanted to "cunnle" and smell pretty too. Lmao
I can't even remember the last time I took a bath! We don't have a big fancy one, but this thread had inspired me to try to find some time to take one in the near future! I will make sure to get something yummy smelling for the water, something to watch/read, and def something to eat now!
Re: Tub Snackin'

I don't snack or drink while in the tub.
I like my baths plain, just hot water. I usually read while in there. My baths seem really boring compared to you guys!
