Day 237 ~ Do Try This at Home

August 25, 2014

My Instead: I took a shower in candlelight in my new bathroom.


My mom has mentioned a few times throughout this year that I’ll “never make it”. By that she means that I won’t be able to come up with a new “instead” for the remaining days of the year…which is now less than 130. And, yes, there are days that this can be challenging. But then there are times that it seems so simple to just “kick it up a notch”. You know, put a whole new spin on something that I do every day.
Here goes. I have this beautiful shower in my brand new beautiful bathroom where I get in, shower and shampoo, squeegee when I’m done, get out, and dry off. Done. Boring for me and now boring for you too. How about hitting the lights and getting some candlelight going?
I’m sure many of us have done the candlelight routine while enjoying a nice hot bath. I have...back in the late 90s, I think. But what about treating myself to this at shower time? A nice ambience isn’t just for honeymoon suites and restaurants, right? And I have the ability to create my own, so I got busy lighting the nearest candles available and set them on the floor by the shower. Then… I got in, showered and shampooed, squeegeed when I was done, got out, and dried off. Done. Boring? Not this time.
Many daredevil things we see on TV warn us, “Do not try this at home”. No warning here…
