Taking a bath is a very healthy practice. It just not take away a day dirt in your body but also refresh your feelings. I use to treat myself in a very long bath when I was still a single. taking me one hour to take a bath. doing scrubs and facial and conditioner on my hair. Now that I have kids I always have to hurry up. I now take a bath 5 minutes at most. How about you?

I love, love, love long baths! Have you tried products from Lush.com ? I had a Vanilla Fountain last night and it was amazing! I love having long baths, but I don't always have the time to treat myself. It must be really hard for you with your kids. I hope you can find more time to pamper yourself.

I haven't try products at lush but I loved to try it soon because when I got to passed on their store I am so attracted to the gooey and yummy smell coming out on their store. It is so good to pamper ourselves by bathing especially us girls!

Let's go swimming - It is only during summer that we have the luxury of time to stay longer in water. To feel the coolness and relaxation the sea water brings to our body. Water in a way is therapeautic because it soothes tired body and gives some kind of peace to the soul. This is the very reason why I always look forward to summertime.
Oh that's very true my dear. Now that we are mothers we don't have the luxury of time for ourselves anymore. We have kids that need our attention and if we indulge so much on our personal needs, chances are will wil be neglecting our kids'. And you are very right,it was different when we were single. I was like you when I was single, I have long hours of bath with so many 'ceromonias' a what we call it. But the busy life I have now deprived me of this opportunity now. My longest bath is 15 minutes, if it takes more than that my hubby would leave me because he will be late in the office and if that happens, I would be commuting my way to my work and that is too tedious for me. The only time I could really enjoy a full bath and stay for long in the water is when we go swimming. Then, a luxurious warm bath in the bathtub of the room rent follows. But that is during summertime only. Oh how I miss our summer escapades!

Oh yes a lot of my "me" time is now devoted to the kids, but I am happy that way. Sometimes I sneak late at night (when the kids are asleep) to have a long bath full of scrubs[em]lol[/em

i usually take a bath for 20-30 minutes. i don't know really why im taking that long in the bathroom. i love water, it refreshes me. actually i have rituals on my hair and that's really made me stay in the bathroom. but when im a hurry mode, i can take a bath as fast as 5 minutes to 10.

I usually take a bath for 15 minutes just enough to clean every inch of my body. I do enjoy baths because it refreshes me especially in this hot country. I take a bath 2 times a day everyday.

You bath to fast. I mean me, it will normally takes me about 30 minutes minimun before i went out of the bathroom and consider myself finished. Usually i scrub my entire body and foam my face. I guess i stay too much in the bathroom since that's my favorite place. I could never make it any lower than 30 minutes.

i take a bath when svet is asleep, or is with my husband so i wouldn't need to hurry. usually takes around 15 minutes. before, when we were 'down there' (you know what i mean), it takes me 30 minutes at a minimum because no matter how long i stay in the bathroom, it seems the stickiness coming from the heat would not go away. but since we transferred here, bath time was shortened to half because i can't stand the cold! yes, even with heated water. my knees tremble from the cold. hee hee hee. off topic: i cannot think of anything interesting to discuss at the moment so i think i'll answer some of your posts :D

The last time we went 'up there' it only took me a minute to take a bath.. grrr. I have been posting a lot lately.. now I can't keep up with answering back people who responded my discussions the sticky feeling is still here, so what I usually do is just take a bath before going to bed, from the bathroom straight to our room

I usually take a bath for about 20 minutes when I need to hurry up for school. Some times 30 minutes to one hour when I have my time for it. I use a lot of bath products that's why sometimes It took me so long to take a bath. I scrub my body and use conditioner. Conditionering my hair is one of the reasons of tooking me so long because it takes me 15-20 minutes before I can rinse it up.

Conditioner really takes up the time, imagine letting it sit in your hair for long, and I noticed when you let it sit longer on your hair, it is more effective. Some one commented that lush bath products are good, maybe you should try some

About 10 minutes to 15 minutes. I like taking bath but i won't have a long bath because i think it waste a lot of water. I think clean up my body is enough, i have no need to waste so much time and water to have a long bath. But if i am really very tired, i will take a little bit longer to relax myself.

I normally take a quick shower. I have kids too. But once a week or so I treat myself to a bubble bath and stay there until the water gets too cold. Lol. Its' probably an hour or so. It's also nice to wait till the kids go to bed, light a candle and turn the lights off and just lay back in the tub and relax.

I love taking long hot bubble baths. At least once a week I light candles in the bathroom and lean back and soak for half hour to an hour in the tub. It is so relaxing. I also enjoy soaking and reading a book in the tub. When I had young children at home I could not spend long amounts of time in the tub - but now my children are raised and I can enjoy a hot bubble bath anytime I'd like. :)

Not more than fifteen minutes. :) I scrub and soap my body then I shampoo my hair. I wash my face. There, that's all. I don't really treat myself though. I don't usually use conditioner for my hair, that's why I don't take much time bathing. :)

It depends a lot of my time. If I'm in a hurry obviously I will take a bath only within 10-15 minutes but if I'm not in a hurry I will surely dry the water down in tub.
