How to Create a Beach at Home While Bathing



The beach has long been a source of relaxation and stress relief. If you live away from the shores of the ocean, you can recreate the beach effectively in your home through a luxurious bath. Here are the steps to do so.







Things You'll Need:





Candles




Audio recording of the beach




Beach pictures




Bath tub




Beach drink




Bath oils









1


Use every one of your senses when creating a beach experience while taking a bath. Start with your sense of smell with a number of ocean mist candles. These candles can be found very inexpensively; the more the better. These candles will help you to really build the smell of the beach while you relax in your stress-busting bath.





2


Visualize the beach by hanging a few pictures of your favorite beach trip in the bathroom while you take your bath. This is particularly effective if you have some larger pictures. Anything that can help you relive the sights of the beach will do. Some seashells do the trick nicely if you spread them around the edges of the tub.





3


Pamper your skin and your sense of touch by using some bath oils or spritzers that have a beach smell. These oils will leave your skin feeling refreshed and will also aid your efforts to recreate the smell.





4


Play a audio tape or CD of the ocean waves crashing on the shore to take advantage of the sounds of the beach. This is absolutely vital to your beach bath experience.





5


Mix up your favorite beach drink to bring the ever popular tastes of the beach to your bath tub. A great blizzard or Mai Tai will liven up the party a bit.








Tips & Warnings










Do put plenty of time into the set up.








Do allow yourself to relax without being bothered.








Do turn off the phone.








Do not put any electrical devices near your bathtub to avoid electrocution.








Do not put the shells in your bathwater. While authentic it can lead to a very uncomfortable experience.
