Essentials for a good fall bath include the perfect bath bomb. The best bath bombs, in my opinion, come from LUSH. I try and save these for special occasions since they are on the pricier side. For my fall bath, I used their classic Butterball bath bomb which smells of vanilla and leaves my skin feeling amazing. You can always go to a store and smell them to find your favorite, but they have some limited edition Haloween and Fall ones that would be perfect for your self-care day. Check out this Mercury in Retrograde and this Punkin Pumpkin bath bomb.
I also like to light a few candles to get some atmosphere in my bathroom. Wood wick candles are nice because you can hear them burn. My favorite is this Warm Gingerbread one I have from Timber Wick. I also love the smell of Burning Midnight for a warm, but floral scent.
Now, if you’re not a bath person I totally get it. Take a long hot shower instead, feel the hot water pulse on your neck and let the tension wash away. Pick up some delicious smelling body wash to get the same autumnal vibes.
I like to read books on the spookier side during the fall, especially around Haloween. I read Turn of the Key by Ruth Ware earlier this month and I am currently reading Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo. Check them out if you’re looking for a slightly spooky fall read.
I prefer to have zeros plans after my bath. I have reached optimal relaxation and my warm body is ready to jump into some pajamas and get straight into bed. However, if I do choose to stay up for a little bit, I like to put on a facemask (my baths are usually too hot to do this in the tub) and then watch a scary or Halloween movie.
As a creative, it’s so important for you to refill your well. Don’t spend your Friday night working until midnight. Don’t spend your Friday night thinking about all the things you weren’t able to get done in the week. Take a step back, take care of yourself. You deserve this. The fall season is the perfect time to warm up with a bath and wash the tension away.
Happy Relaxing Friends!
