In this volume of BAINA Bathe, Daphne reflects on how bathing is a blend of routine and relaxation, offering both purposeful renewal and cherished moments of self-care.

"My showers are almost strategic—I'm habit stacking in there! I'll shave while my conditioner sets or even chug water... while baths are about letting go and indulging in a slow soak.

I like a very hot bath with 2-4 scoops of plain epsom salt. Occasionally, I'll add a few drops of eucalyptus oil. I might do a face mask in the tub and I always slather oil all over my body afterwards while I'm still damp.

I love and look forward to a steamy shower or hot bath after my kids are asleep before getting into bed myself."

"A few years ago, I started adding cold exposure to my shower routine. I turn the water all the way cold for a few minutes at the end. It's invigorating! And before bed it helps with sleep. I also use a dry brush before bathing, a wash cloth (for my face) during, and a lotion or oil post-bathe."

"A cherished memory of mine is from summers I spent growing up in Connecticut, when my dad and I would bring shampoo outside during daytime rainstorms and use the runoff from the roof to lather and wash our hair."
