One easy way to do this is to use a bath tray. Load it up with all the things that makes you happy. Some suggestions we have are an iPad or your phone to watch dramas, a book, a glass of wine, your favourite snacks or even a full meal!

If you're worried about accidentally sending your electronics to an early grave, place them in an airtight plastic bag.

You read that right, you can add tea to your bath water!

A tea bath can detoxify your skin, soothe irritated skin and help you relax. Simply bring four to five tea bags to a boil and add it to your bath! You can also use loose tea leaves but make sure to stain it with cheesecloth before adding it in the bath water.

Popular choices are green tea and black tea but feel free to experiment and you can also combine it with essential oils and bath salts!
