I take showers in the morning, because my hair is a greasy mess if I don't wash it every morning. I use a good body wash, but when the weather dips below freezing for any length of time, that isn't enough. I like baths, but I don't take them all that often. When the baby goes to bed, i either follow immediately or stay up to write and blog.

I've got a few lavendar bath salts and beads from Christmas that I haven't used yet. I love the scent of lavendar - it conjures up images of sun-baked Nice and the valley of the Drome, with lilting French conversation flowing around me. I never liked it before I went to France, but when it dominates one of the most beautiful views you've ever seen for the duration of a lovely vacation, you grow to love it.

You're right. Time to indulge. Tomorrow, though - I've just moisturized, there's no point in washing the lotion away.
