Bathtub Day
-- celebrating the introduction of the bathtub in England in 1828. So enjoy a good book, a hot bath, and a little bit of peace and quiet all at the same time. Celebrate this momentous occasion by turning your bathroom into a mini-spa, complete with scented candles and aromatherapy oils; invite a partner or friend to share in the bathtub experience; watch a favorite film or television show while bathing; or simply lock the door, turn off the phone and enjoy a rare moment of solitude and peace, with a glass of wine by your side.
