Me Time

Being the mother of 4 and a full time career women, I don’t get much time to myself.  Although I must admit now that 2 of my boys have left home and the other 2 are both teenagers, I do get a lot more me time.

Me time is a purely selfish time when no one else exists.  I am the only person that matters.  A time where I get to decide what to do and where to do it.  These are sensual moments for me.

My favorite place to relax is in the bath. This is when I get to clear my mind. Usually at night when everyone else has gone to bed and I can switch off from anything and everything.

I love my bathroom.  We had it refurbished a few years ago.  Hubby wanted a big shower and I wanted a Jacuzzi bath.  So we compromised and got both.  This is one of the best decisions I have ever made as my bathroom has become my sanctuary.

I love to keep a vase of brightly colored flowers next to my bath.  It helps to make it a happy place. Not to mention that is provides a sweet aroma that lingers in the air.

Once everyone has gone to bed or when the rest of the family are still out for the day, I run a hot bath.  While my bath is running, I light some scented candles – rich vanilla and caramel swirl is my favorite, specifically chosen using the fragrance finder of one of my favorite air freshener companies.

I dab a little bubble bath into the water and then I reach for the light switch, switching off the bright

white light that fills my bathroom.  I am left with a gentle yellow glow of the flickering flames.

It is now time for me to slowly undress and gently slip into the water.  The water envelops me in warmth.  I press the switch to start the jets which encourage frothy bubbles to form over the curves of my breasts.

I reach for my iPad and settle down to read a trashy novel.  Something where I don’t need to think but am sent to a fantasy place where women are enticed by men with muscular bodies and throbbing loins.

At last, I am in heaven!
