now that the stressful holidays are over, it’s time to relax.  why not relax like a queen?  cleopatra was said to have bathed in milk and honey and if it’s good enough for her, it’s good enough for me!  this bath is super luxurious and has added skin benefits as well.  just add about 2 cups of whole milk or if you’re feeling extra decadent, half and half and about 1/4 cup of honey to your almost full bath.  you can also add rose water or your favorite essential oil if you want.  once the bath if full, sink in!  the milk’s lactic acid will gently exfoliate and renew your skin, while the honey acts as a humectant, helping your skin to retain moisture.  honey is also antibacterial so it’s good to use if you have acne prone skin as well.  happy soaking!
