    I will have to check these out. I use bath soaking after every long run I do and I am currently training for a marathon so there will be a lot of miles to soak away.

    Wow, great ideas here! I don’t do much to relax…normally I have to take going to bed on time as my relaxation LOL

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      August 11, 2014 at 9:39 pm

      Hahaha! Going to bed on time is a huge bonus, isn’t it!

    My favorite way to relax is to take a nice hot bubble bath while reading a good book.

    Thank you for sharing.The only way I normally get to relax is to go out on my horse.

    A hot bath is all it takes for me, I’ll just sit there for a long while and relax.

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      August 11, 2014 at 9:35 pm

      Ah, my back is hurting today. I could totally go for a long, hot bath. I wish I had a tub with the jets in it.

    I just recently found out about that relaxation day on another blog. btw I’ve always wanted to make my own sugar scrub but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

      It’s a lot of fun to make and so customizable. You should definitely try it.

      I imagine those are quite relaxing. My daughter used to get her finger nails done until she got the job she has now, which does not allow for painted nails. She always thought that was super relaxing.
