(the point of this picture was supposed to be the bubbles in the tub but unfortunately they couldn't be captured against a white background :/)
i have a penchant for luxury bath products (crabtree & evelyn, l'occitane, the body shop...) and soaking myself in the tub, and although it is so rare to actually find time to enjoy my baths, i still make it a point to pamper myself once in awhile especially on days when i come back feeling SO frustrated and pissed off. i mean, why not? no prior appointments needed, i have the liberty of playing my own music in the background (putumayo/the gipsy kings/french cafe songs/norah jones on shuffle), and best of all, it costs me virtually nothing. i do indulge in spa treatments whenever i feel rich (which is very, VERY seldom), but at home, a relaxing bubble bath is my soul soother.
so when i find that i'm in dire need of self-indulgence, i will tell TR to empty his bladder and then bugger off or hold it in for an hour or so, draw up my bubble bath with my favourite bath salts/gel, dim the light, light up a candle, have my laptop and iTunes ready on the toilet seat (don't judge me, my toilet seat is anytime cleaner than your bed), immerse myself in the warm, soapy, scented water, and let my stresses and problems fade away. at least for awhile.
and i highly recommend it provided you don't share a bathtub with disgusting people. :)
