About three months ago, I had just done a workout DVD and I was a sweaty mess (nice visual, huh?). So I desperately needed a shower. It was about 9pm, the kids were asleep and hubby was doing our bills.
So, I just get in the shower, start lathering up my hair and the power goes out! My husband came running in with the flashlight because he heard me still in there and I told him I had to keep going because my hair was all soapy. He leaves the flashlight in the bathroom, and comes back with about six votive candles and lights them on our glass shelving. Shower by candlelight! It worked perfectly.
Since that night, I take a shower by candlelight, voluntarily, about once a week in the evening. I have a whole row of about 12 votive candles in different scents, and it just creates such a wonderful experience. I just love it! Hot water pouring down, candles burning in the dark, just enough light to see what you are doing...heaven.
And yes, I just got out of my candlelight shower and wow, do I feel warm and relaxed!
