As the weather gets cooler and the gusts sweep in, we start to forget quite what warm feels like. One peek outside is enough to set you shivering and piling on sweaters and scarves. But you know what would feel great right about now? Luxurious bathtubs, full of steamy, relaxing water, ready to pamper and warm your frozen, tired limbs. Here are toasty tubs to picture every time you battle the cold.
1. When You’re Getting Up in the Morning
As you force yourself to rip off the blanket and swing your cold toes over the bed, into your slippers (if you’re lucky!), imagine immersing yourself in the sweet warmth of this welcoming tub!
2. When You’re Adding Yet Another Layer
You might feel warm in your bedroom piling on those sweaters, but you just know that once you get outside, you’ll regret leaving those layers at home. But instead of focusing on that bulky fabric, think about this tub, a glass of red wine and a good book.
3. When You’re Waiting for the Car Heating to Kick In
Sick of counting down the seconds until you can bear to touch the steering wheel, even with gloves on? Even though your body has to stay put, transport your mind to this warm, spa-like getaway, until your car is drivable again.
4. When You’re Running Indoors From Your Car
Even though you’re feeling that harsh chill on your cheeks now, you’re far away, lounging in a deep tub, watching the awful weather from a safe distance as the water enfolds you in warmth. With a good book, a glass of wine and some scented salts, you almost feel bad for everyone else out there in the cold.
5. When You’re Washing Your Hands With Cold Water
Your hands are probably already getting dry as it is, without the added torture of washing your hands multiple times a day. Between washing, reapplying cream, and washing again, think of happier times, when your fingers are all soft and pruny from too much cozy warmth in a deep, round tub like this!
6. When You’re In a Meeting
We’ve all had those co-workers (or bosses, if you’re really unlucky) who have their own personal internal temperature and control the thermostat. Even though it’s close to snowing outside, they demand the AC. Don’t let that get you down; let your mind wander to balmy bathtub paradise!
7. When You’re Getting Home When It’s Dark Out
You’re pulling into your garage in the early evening and it’s completely lights off outside. How did the day get so dark so fast? Instead of sadly contemplating the day’s early end, imagine the majestic glow of this chandelier catching the steam rising off of this tub.
