Had a rough day at the office?

Just had an argument with your boyfriend?

Or, maybe your kids spent the whole day trying to figure out ways to personally annoy you?

Who doesn't need a break from the day to day stresses life can bring?!? Don't worry, you don't have to take an expensive trip to run away from your problems. You can escape in the comfort of your own home without even breaking out a credit card. We're talking about taking a nice relaxing bubble bath.

With these 5 easy steps, you'll be on your way to heaven!

1. Plan ahead!
The key to a successful bubble bath is planning ahead and eliminating all distractions. Yes, that means turning off your cell phone, letting your bff hang out with the boys, and sending the kiddies to a neighbor's house. No distractions = total and complete relaxation.

2. Have your favorite bubble bath on deck
This is the perfect time to pull out the one that's been collecting dust under your sink. Or, if you not too keen on that scent anymore go out and pick up a bottle. Just make sure it's a scent you love that helps set the mood for relaxation.

3. Candles, light 'em up
Something about lit candles just screams "calmness". Candles can really create a calm and soothing environment and scented ones are even better. It also helps to use calming colors such as shades of blue, white, violet and green to set the mood.

4. Music to your ears
As surprising as it may seem not a lot of people think to incorporate music with their bubble baths. Having soft and pleasant music while enjoying your bath can really make a world of difference.

5. Last but not least . . . Soft and cuddly stuff
No, we're not talking about the stuffed animal you keep close on lonely nights. We are talking about your towel, robe and slippers. Yes, believe it or not these are key ingredients to a perfect bath. Your relaxation should not end once you step out of the bath, it should continue on after all the water and bath salts have drained from your tub. To get lavishly indulged we suggest having a special plush towel, robe and slippers because having something that soft against your body after a bubble bath really is a huge added bonus and a great way to wrap-up your bubble bath experience.
