Academy 8 - Dollification 15 - Unwinding
We’ve discussed your bathroom before, hopefully, you’ve started to pinkify it and now you get to go a little further.
You should already have a few pink items dotted about the place and today you’re going a little bigger. The colour will affect you on an emotional level and help you relax but we want to cater to the physical side of you as well.
The first thing you need to look for is a big, fluffy bath mat. Stepping out of a perfect pink bubble bath on to cold tiles or lino is not conducive to relaxation. Shrieking in shock at the drop of temperature and then hurriedly stepping on your tiptoes to get out of the room is no good, you’re trying to relax so taking a little time and doing things at your own pace should be the order of the day.
Next, you want two big, fluffy towels. How big? Big enough to comfortably wrap around you at least once and cover you from under your arms to your knees or lower.
These work in a similar way to the mat, the fluffiness will feel so good against your skin and help dry you a little quicker and having two means that if one gets soaked, you can quickly switch to another!
Finally, you want to look for some socks, what kind? Say it with me sister, pink and fluffy! When you’ve cooled off and dried yourself you want to keep your feet cosy. Cold feet are a good way of losing that feeling quickly, so get yourself some thick, pink, fuzzy socks that you can wear.
Once you’ve done this, you’re well on your way to making your bath a feminine sanctuary where you can go to relax and unwind.
If you want to go even further, you can start to look into a more expensive, higher quality bubble bath. It’s not something you’ll use everyday, it’s a little luxury for when you need that extra push to completely let go after a super hard day. Just having it in your bathroom will be a benefit because you’ll see it and know you have a secret weapon ready to deploy whenever you need it!
After you’ve used it a few times, you’ll find that often just the smell of it will be enough to start you unwinding (so much so that you might decide you don’t need to use any of it!).
Bath bombs and bath oil are things you can explore too. I love watching bath bombs dissolve and most of them look pretty enough to be displayed in your bathroom (getting a little bit of extra skincare is just a bonus!).
The next level is candles! Candlelight sets the perfect ambiance and scented ones will work on another one of your senses. The idea is to work and build something that soothes and relaxes you on many different levels so your body and mind can be overwhelmed by messages of peace and relaxation.
For your homework, go and have a bath! I don’t want you getting stressed browsing mats and towels and things like that, so go and run a bath and relax.
I know some of you girls are a little unlucky and don’t have access to a bath, don’t take it too hard though, mats and towels work equally well with showers and so do socks!
Speak to you soon! xxx
