Relaxing Homemade Spa

I have been thinking of treating myself to a homemade spa. I will fill the tub with scented water, light a few candles, pour myself a cup of coffee (I don't drink alcohol), and sit back, close my eyes and just breath in the aroma of a nice relaxing lavender blend.
I do this every now and then when I need to get away. I also add some soft music and I feel like I am in my little piece of heaven.
The only thing that makes it different from most relaxing spas is the fact that I feel the need to keep a note book close by. Why? Because I usually get the best ideas while I am sitting there soaking and dreaming.
If I don't write them down right away I will forget them and I will go crazy trying to remember what they were.
Do you have to write down your ideas immediately or you will forget them?

Yes! I have learned by experience that I have to write them down. I have thought that I would remember the next day and I never do. So, I have a notebook right by my bed now I right it down.

@celticeagle It is. I hear that it happens a lot. I guess we are in good company, wrinkled but good.

I write them down right away if I can or if not the memory of them comes back later.
Fantastic photo makes you feel like relaxing and pampering yourself.

Good idea all this.
However all I would be missing would be the masseuse.

Your spa sounds heavenly. I've always had to write things down, my attention span is about 6 seconds.

Yes I do need that notebook handy. You would laugh at me: I get out around the house, walking or weeding, its about half an acre back into the house. Ideas come to me then and no notebook so I'm mumbling as I walk, trying to keep that thread where I can reach it.

That looks awesome! I can't wait until it is bath season around here. Nothing I enjoy more than a nice hot bath!

I have to write them down.
Nice idea to relax at home, but in my case, I do that with a cup of chamomile tea instead of coffee.

@HazySue Yeah, I'm just to not a coffee drinker. I prefer tea but those that doesn't contain caffeine or less caffeine. Coffee won't relax me at all. It'll boost my energy but not give me a relaxing feeling.

@toniganzon I am a coffee drinker for the most part but I also like my tea. In the evening I tend to drink decaffeinated tea.

I've heard that when you're relaxed that's when the best ideas hit you. I also have a notebook handy so I can write down anything that pops into my head.

@HazySue They really do. I tend to get most of mine when I'm in the shower.
