    About once every 3-4 months I take a 4hr hot bath with, phone in a waterproof sandwich-bag, bluetooth speakers, tunes, Epsom salts, and reading material.

    It’s excellent self-care. (No, the water doesn’t go cold, I let out half the water and top it up with more hot, when needed).

    Highly recommended.

      Am an American in my mid 30s. Recently bought my first and almost certainly only house. There is so much stuff about homeownership that feels like a luxury vs renting.

      I’m a somewhat tall guy and my house’s only bathtub is too small to do this. God knows when if ever I’ll have the money to renovate that.

        Get a hot tub. My partner and I are both tall and both love to relax in hot water. Now we get to submerge our tense monkey bodies in our personal hot spring and just float any damn day we want to, for as long as we want to. It’s great for our relationship. Plus, foot jets! We spent $7k on ours- a true luxury- but it was one of the best health / self care purchases I’ve ever made in my entire life.
