I just recently had a brand new corner bathtub installed in my bathroom and I got to use it yesterday for the first time. The model I bought is a 58-inch corner discount whirlpool tub that comes equipped with all the bells and whistles imaginable–a beautiful white finish, whirl jet, tub skirt, 1 horsepower motor and the 16 Jet American Air Massage System! You can imagine my excitement in christening my new corner bathtub with a much-needed relaxing bath.
The first thing I did was draw a nice hot bath (well, not too hot as to make it difficult to get into the tub) while I prepared all the trappings of a sanctuary. I collected my fluffiest towels and put them on one side of the spacious corner surface of the acrylic bathroom tub. Then I put an inflatable bath pillow along in the tub so that I could rest my neck on while I was soaking. Next, I lit some aromatherapeutic candles and placed them along the opposite edge that the towels were on. I put candles of varying height in separate groups all along the corner bathtub to create a wonderful luminescence. Finally, before I stepped into the bathtub, I put my stereo within a safe distance from the splash zone and turned on to the easy listening station.
As I stepped into my corner bathtub for the first time with a glass of red wine in one hand, I immediately felt calm and at peace. I dropped a few droplets of rose oil into the water and it was as if I had been transplanted to an oasis with fields of roses surrounding me. I took a sip of my wine and slipped further into the bathtub while I let my mind wander into a faraway place. When I was done, I felt completely rejuvenated. My skin was glowing and after I blot myself dry, I tried to retain that softness by applying some body lotion. Overall, my corner bathtub gave me a fabulously luxurious bathing experience and I think I’ll want to do this at least once a week.
