When the all the other small annoyances of modern life begin to get me down, I like to escape into fantasy — not by reading a bodice-ripping romance novel, but by indulging in a favourite small-budget luxury.
Confession time!! I pretend to be a fabulous famous beauty of the demi-monde, soaking like La Belle Otero (in a break between royal lovers) chin-deep in a soothing and skin-softening milk-and-honey bath…
Oh, go ahead, try it! Just mix 1/4 cup of liquid honey with 2 cups of milk, and pour it in as you fill the tub with comforting warm water. Crush a handful of dried lavendar flowers and swirl it into the bath for a special fragrance, if you like. Then lock out the world for a half-hour, lie back in the soft scented water, and relax!
Okay, yeah, or you could make up some nice pretty little bath packages and give them to a deserving friend…
