With so many of life's little things, and being a single mom I often go days on end without being able to pamper myself. But tonight the kids were all snuggled in their beds and after the busy day I decided I needed some time for mommy.
I began with a hot bubble bath (you have to indulge sometimes), and as my bath was filling I decided to light my favorite black cherry candle setting it on the counter. Turning the dimmer switch, so only the flame from the candle lights the room. I walked to the kitchen in only my white satin robe, I grabbed my best wine glass, pouring what I could of the wine cooler into the glass, and then pounding what was left from the bottle itself. I was beginning to feel a little of the day’s stresses starting to vanish.
I stood beside the tub inhaling the scent of black cherry as the bubbles continued popping in my glass. After setting my glass down on the ledge of the tub, untied my robe and began sliding the satin off my body and letting it drop to the floor, I grabbed a nice fluffy towel for after. One foot into the tub and then the other, ummm a little hot but nice; I sat down, the water burning my ass cheeks but also feeling good at the same time. I started the Jacuzzi aiming the jets towards the muscles that needed to be massaged.
I closed my eyes, and slid down a little further in the tub splashing water to warm the exposed parts of my ample chest. I grab my body wash, flipping the top and squeezing a little of the cool liquid into the palm of my hand, after setting the bottle down, I began washing an arm and then the other. I rub my hands together lathering both of them, I move my hands to my bosom, massaging each one, I move my hands under them moving to the top and back down again. I stop at my nipples brushing my fingers over them, around them and then gently pinching them. I wash my belly, lifting a leg onto the side of the tub, I decide to shave. Once again lathering my body I start at my ankle and with a long smooth stroke up to my knee, I return and proceed with this process until both my legs now have a soft and silky feeling. Oh how nice that feels as I rub my fingertips over my freshly shaven skin.
